How we verify an offer

Most pages on this subject copy their figures from one another, which is how a bonus that ended in 2019 can still be quoted in 2026. What follows is the method used here instead (open the "landing page", read the "terms and conditions", date the reading), set out at enough length for a reader to judge whether it is sufficient, because a claim of diligence nobody can check is worth about as much as a figure nobody read.

We read the operator’s own page, and we date it

An offer goes on one of our pages only after someone here opened the operator’s own "landing page" or its "terms and conditions" and read the offer where the operator states it, and we publish the date of that reading beside the figure (beside it, not at the foot of the page, where a date is a decoration). An old date can be seen to be old, which is more useful than a fresh-looking figure with no date at all.

Where an offer could not be read (a page that would not open from this country, an offer the "affiliate panel" describes and the site itself does not show), no figure is published. The operator may still appear on the list carrying the type of offer and no amount (an admission, and meant as one): there are a good many more such entries than a reader might expect, and printing them rather than guessing is the point.

We follow every link to where it lands

A link on this site is followed to the domain it actually lands on before it is published, and followed again afterwards, which sounds like the least a publisher could do, somewhere below "we test every casino", and is not what happens on affiliate sites generally, where the button and the brand above it are maintained by different people at different times. Buttons there point at the wrong brand, at a dead "landing page", at an operator whose licence has been cancelled, or at another affiliate’s account (and the reader who clicks has no way of telling which).

Each card carries one link, marked "advertising link" where it is one, and it is the link of the brand printed on the card, so that the logo, the name, the offer and the destination name the same operator, or we do not put it up. The rule sounds trivial until it is applied to a whole catalogue (one card, one domain, one reading at a time), at which point it becomes the slowest part of the work.

We publish the licence, not a score

There is no rating out of five or out of ten anywhere on this site, and the reason is not modesty: nobody here has opened an account, deposited, played and withdrawn, and a score awarded without all four is a decoration with a decimal point in it. Where other sites print a number (a "rating", a "safety index", a figure carried over from somewhere else) we print the regulator, the licence number and the company that holds it.

For the same reason these pages carry no structured "review" data of the kind that would let a search engine print stars beside them (a quieter version of the same claim, and a more effective one). Stars nobody has earned are a claim made to a machine instead of to a reader, and the machine passes it on!

What we are paid for, and what it does not buy

A commission is paid when a reader opens an account through a link marked "advertising link" (the reading, the checking and the hours behind a dated figure are what it pays for). It does not buy a place on a list, a position within one, or a sentence of the text, and our lists include operators that pay us nothing, each list stating how many of its entries carry a link (how many, and how many do not).

An operator we no longer work with comes off the site rather than staying on it with a dead link behind a live button (live, with nothing behind it), so several brands this site listed for a decade are not here any more: fifteen of twenty-five came off in October 2026, and that page names every one of them. Taking a brand down costs a page what it had earned; leaving one up that cannot be reached costs a reader an evening.
