A casino rating on SlotAtlas is an editorial opinion built from the brand’s own public information: its terms and its pages on payments, support and responsible gambling. A place in the list cannot be bought, and bonus amounts do not count towards the score. They change every week and nearly always depend on the country.
What goes into the score
The scale runs from 0 to 10. Licensing carries the most weight: who the regulator is, whether a licence number is shown, and whether the operating company is named. A brand with a number and a verifiable operator scores well above one that only says “licensed”.
Money comes next. We look at payment methods, account currencies, fees and limits, and the payout time the brand itself states. When the time depends on the payment method, we say so instead of presenting one flattering figure as the rule.
Third are games and studios: how many providers are connected, whether there is a live casino, and whether the brand states the size of its catalogue. Fourth is support: chat, email, phone and opening hours. Fifth are self-control tools: limits, breaks, self-exclusion and session reminders. A brand that lays these out in detail earns extra points.
What lowers a score
Anything that makes the terms hard to understand costs points: vague wording, conflicting data across pages, a closed country list, a missing licence number. A Curaçao licence is not a defect in itself, but its player protection is not rated alongside MGA or UKGC licences, and the score reflects that.
How we handle the data
A review only contains facts the brand has published. If a payout time or a game count is not stated, the field stays empty rather than being filled with a guess. We mark the countries where a casino accepts players only when the terms say so directly. Details change, so the page shows the state on the date of checking, and the bonus and withdrawal rules are worth rereading on the operator’s site before you register.
Who should not play
You must be 18 or older and play only where the law allows it. Rules differ from country to country, and following local law is the player’s responsibility. If gambling stops being entertainment, set a limit, take a break or talk to a specialist. More on the responsible gambling page.
