How We Review
This page exists so you can judge our rankings instead of trusting them. It covers what we assess, what we deliberately do not claim, and how we are paid.
What We Assess
Every site on this site is scored on five criteria, weighted in this order.
- Bonus terms. The wagering requirement, eligible games, qualifying deposit and whether a promo code is needed — read from the operator's own terms page, not the landing page. An offer you can withdraw beats a larger one you cannot.
- Game library. Size, provider mix and live dealer depth. Multi-provider lobbies score better than single-supplier ones.
- Payments. Supported methods in both directions, whether the headline offer is restricted to cryptocurrency, and what verification is required.
- Operating record. Years in operation and the group behind the brand. With no state regulator to escalate to, track record is a real safety signal.
- Maryland eligibility. Binary. An operator has to accept Maryland players before we will score it at all.
Where Our Figures Come From
Every bonus, promo code, game count and payment method on this site was read off the operator's own cashier or terms page in July 2026, then cross-checked against the sites already ranking for these searches. Where the two disagreed we went with the operator, and five figures changed as a result of that check.
Payout timings are given as ranges typical of this class of operator rather than as stopwatch numbers, because the method you choose moves them far more than the brand does. Licence details, audit claims and payout tests are not published here at all — you will not find an invented licence number or a claim we cashed out in 24 hours, because those are the details affiliate pages most often make up. Bonus terms move quickly, so the operator's own page is always the final authority: check it before you deposit.
How We Make Money
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account through one, the operator may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing and it does not change the price or the offer available to you.
It also does not set the order of our rankings, and the clearest evidence we can offer is at the top of the page: our number-one pick is not the operator advertising the largest headline bonus. Several sites further down the list carry match offers many times the size of it. They rank lower because a bonus you cannot withdraw is worth less than a smaller one you can, and because we weight live dealer depth and operating record as heavily as the welcome offer.
Corrections
If a bonus figure here is out of date, a term has changed, or we have simply got something wrong, tell us on our contact page and we will fix it and note the change. We would rather be corrected than consistent.

Dale spent eleven years writing procurement contracts for a marine-supply distributor on the Annapolis waterfront, which is a long apprenticeship in reading the clause everyone else skips. That is the habit applied here: the wagering condition underneath the headline percentage, and which states a licence actually covers. More about Dale.
How we rank sites, and how we make money, is set out in full on our How We Review page. Offers change frequently — always read the terms on the operator's own site before depositing.
