Affiliate links

Outbound links to operators (via /go/[operator]) are tracked affiliate links. If you sign up and deposit through one, we may earn a commission. This does not add any cost to you.

What commission does not buy

  • Position in our ranking
  • A better grade
  • Removal of warnings or negative findings
  • Hiding a licence expiry or enforcement action

What it does buy

Server costs, scraping infrastructure, our research team's salaries, and the time it takes to verify every operator profile on this site.

Methodology

Operators are graded on 40+ criteria across licensing, terms, payments, withdrawal speed and support. The methodology is open: every report lists the data points used. If we drop an operator from the ranking, we explain why.
