The brands, in their own words

Every figure on these pages was read off the operator's own site and carries the date it was read. Not one of them comes from a review site, a ratings table or an affiliate page. Those sources contradict each other on basics — one of them has a casino here holding a UK licence it does not hold — and none of them says when it last looked.

Where an operator does not publish something, the page says so instead of filling the space. That sounds like a small thing and it is not: the wagering multiplier, the deadline and the maximum you can take out of a bonus are the three numbers that decide what an offer is worth, and some of these operators publish a headline figure and none of the three.

There are no ratings here, no stars and no verdict about which is better. An offer that was true last week may not be true today, and nobody who publishes a league table has rechecked it. What this site can do honestly is tell you what each one states, when it stated it, and what it leaves out.

Gambling is for adults and the minimum age differs by country — it is 21 in Belgium and 18 in most of the rest of Europe. Check the rules where you actually are.

An operator without a licence in your country is not a bargain, it is a counterparty with no regulator behind it. Every national regulator publishes a list; look your operator up before you put money in rather than after.

If it has stopped being a game, most countries run a self-exclusion register that works across every licensed operator at once, and signing up is free.
