Our rating system

Scores are editorial opinions on a 0–10 scale, built from weighted criteria. They reflect our assessment at the time of review and are not guarantees of future operator behaviour.

Data sources

Scores and copy are grounded in the sources below. We date-stamp checks where licensing or bonus terms are cited.

• Public licensing registers — UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), Netherlands Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa), Germany Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde (GGL), France ANJ, Spain DGOJ, and equivalent regulators where relevant.
• Operator terms & conditions, bonus rules, and help/FAQ pages (current published versions).
• Operator payment pages listing methods, limits, and stated processing times.
• Published game libraries, provider lists, and RTP or rules pages where operators disclose them.
• Responsible-gambling tool descriptions and links on operator sites, plus national RG resources we reference.
