About Best Licensed Casinos

What Best Licensed Casinos is

Best Licensed Casinos is an independent comparison and review website for online casinos. We publish detailed, human-written reviews of 12 casinos, ranked toplists for specific needs such as crypto payments or fast withdrawals, and plain-English guides to the parts of online gambling that operators would rather you did not read too closely: wagering requirements, licensing, payout rules and responsible play.

We are not a casino. We do not take bets, hold player funds or operate games. We are a publisher whose product is honest information.

Who writes the reviews

Our editorial team has spent a combined 25+ years working in and around the online gambling industry, including roles in casino operations, payments, game testing and player support. Every review is written by a human who has deposited, played and withdrawn at the casino under review.

Every review is signed by the Best Licensed Casinos Editorial Team and reflects hands-on testing by at least one analyst, with a second analyst fact-checking licensing, ownership and bonus terms before publication. We do not use AI to write or score reviews.

How we test

Our process is the same for every casino, regardless of whether it has an affiliate programme:

1. Screening. We verify the licence on the regulator's register, identify the operating company and check complaint history. Casinos that fail this stage are never reviewed.
2. Registration and KYC. We register as a normal player and complete identity verification, timing every step.
3. Real-money play. We deposit from our own bankroll and play across slots, table games and live casino for at least two weeks.
4. Support tests. We contact support with genuine questions via every available channel and record response times and accuracy.
5. Withdrawals. We withdraw at least twice using different methods and time each payout from request to receipt.
6. Scoring. Each casino receives a score out of 10 across five weighted criteria. The methodology is public on our editorial policy page.

How we make money

Best Licensed Casinos is funded by affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks a link to a casino and creates an account, the casino may pay us a commission. This costs the reader nothing and does not change any bonus they receive.

Commissions never influence ratings or rankings. Scores are finalised before any commercial relationship is discussed, and we review casinos regardless of whether we have an affiliate arrangement with them. We do not accept payment for reviews, placement or positive coverage, and we do not remove critical content at an operator's request. Our full affiliate disclosure explains this in detail.

Our commitment to safer gambling

Gambling carries real risk of harm. We believe an honest review site has a duty to say so clearly and repeatedly. Every page carries an 18+ marker and a responsible gambling notice; every bonus call-to-action is accompanied by a terms reminder; and our responsible gambling page lists free, confidential help in multiple countries. We will never present gambling as a way to make money, because it is not.

Corrections

Bonus terms, licences and ownership change constantly. If you find anything on this site that is out of date or incorrect, please contact us. We correct errors promptly and note material changes on the affected page.
