How we Rank Casinos

Our online casino ranking specifications.

At Casino Edge, we put in all of the legwork by thoroughly reviewing every online casino listed on this site, so you can make an informed decision as to where to play. Every casino that’s been reviewed, as well as some others that didn’t meet our standards has been played at by the Casino Edge staff.

What we Look For

At a glance, these are just some of the things we assess when reviewing a casino.

The Casino

Where's the casino licensed?
Are the terms and conditions fair, open and honest?
Do they offer download and no-download versions of the software?
What are the deposit and withdraw options?
How many and what types of games do they offer?
Are the games fast and well designed?
What are the game payouts?
When we withdrew our winnings how long did it take?
Do the support staff know what they’re talking about?
Are support friendly and responsive?

The Casino Website

How fast is the site?
Is the information laid out in a clear and concise way?
Does the site use easy-to-understand language?
Is it easy to navigate?
Can customer support be reached easily by email, free phone and live chat?

Each casino is played in both free-play mode and for real money and where possible, we’ve also played both the download and instant versions of each online casino, to ensure that all formats are equally efficient. Many hours have been spent sampling an enormous number of different games, while, at the same time, applying a variety of strategies to test their edge reducing qualities.

In terms of the ratings that we provide for casinos and their websites, the figures are all out of ten and should provide you with an indication of how well the casino or site performs in that area. The overall ratings that are provided allow players in a hurry to quickly find out which casino is going to suit them best. They’re worked out by calculating the average of all of the ratings that are listed for each review category.

Features such as customer support and banking options have been tested in the best possible way: by using them. The fact that we’ve tested so many casinos means that we can determine whether or not an aspect of an online casino is good or bad, by comparing it to others. Also, security and privacy claims are checked by our reviewers, who track down the appropriate certification and confirm its authenticity.
