Guides
Casino guides: terms, registers and games, explained from the source
Every guide answers one question a reader meets at the cashier, in the terms or at the table, and shows how the brands we review handle it. The casino guides open with money and documents, because that is where the questions start; licences and fairness follow; the games come last.
All guides
Every guide, in three groups
Money and documents, licences and fairness, games. Each tile is one question and its answer.
Money and documents
Wagering requirements
What 20x, 40x and 45x cost in spins, done on the terms we verified.
How to withdraw money
The same-method rule, the ceilings from the terms and the clock on each rail.
KYC verification for withdrawal
The three documents, the brands that check before the first payout and the ones that ask above a threshold.
Why you need to study bonus terms
The cap, the clock, the max bet and the chain, read on real welcome offers.
Casino cashback explained
The base, the period and the multiplier on the refund, brand by brand.
What is AML
The duty behind the same-method rule, the deposit turnover and the source-of-funds question.
When a casino blocks your account
A check, a breach or a residency: what to send and where the complaint goes.
Licences and fairness
Curacao gaming licence
The ordinance, the dead JAZ numbers, the register statuses and the green seal.
How to verify a casino licence
Footer, register, seal, domain, contradictions: five checks in order.
How to spot a fake licence
Seven tells, with the sites the regulator itself warned about.
Gambling regulators
Curacao, Anjouan, Malta, Great Britain and Poland: what each publishes and what a player can use.
How random number generators are verified
The labs, the GLI standards and the certificate behind a fairness badge.
What is RTP
The return figure, the two builds one slot can carry, and where the panel is.
RTP of table games
Blackjack, roulette, baccarat and craps priced on one scale.
Games
Blackjack rules
The hand, the dealer rule, the five decisions and the payout line on the felt.
Roulette online
The wheel that sets the price, the bets on the layout and the live variants.
Live casino games explained
Studios, streams, stakes and how a real dealer changes what is checked.
Crash games
Aviator by Spribe: the curve, the crash point and the cash out button.
The method
How to use the guides
Read the guide for the step you are about to take, not the whole shelf. A first deposit needs the withdrawal guide and the KYC guide, because the payout is where the terms bite; a code needs the wagering guide; a footer with a seal needs the verification guide. Each guide opens with the answer, walks through the clauses, and ends with a brand where the rule can be seen applied.
The figures are the brands' own, the regulators' own or the studios' own, and a guide with no documented figure for a claim says so instead of printing a typical one. Where a rule differs by brand, the guide links to the review that carries that brand's line.

For Polish readers
Where the Polish questions are answered
The guides here are written for every market we cover. The questions that only a Polish player has, the ministry register, BLIK after the scheme-level block, zloty accounts, verification with Polish documents, the tax on winnings, have their own cluster with the same method and the statutes as sources.
Index
Everything in this section
Every page of the section on one list, so nothing is more than a click away.
Quick answers
Where do the numbers in the guides come from
From the terms of the brands we review, the regulators' registers and standards, the studios' own game pages and one reference for house edges. A guide with no documented figure for a claim is written without a number rather than with a typical one.
Which guide should I read first
Before a deposit, the withdrawal guide and the KYC guide, because the payout is where readers meet the terms. Before a bonus, the wagering guide and the bonus terms guide. Before trusting a footer, the verify a licence guide.
Are the guides about specific casinos
Each guide explains a rule and shows how the brands in our catalogue apply it, with the brand pages linked where the clause lives. The reviews carry the brand-specific figures; the guides carry the method and the comparison.
