How they work
How Sofia reviews a new casino
Sofia starts with the licence and the country list, because for a South African reader the first question is whether the casino accepts you at all and who regulates it.
Then she compares the cashier, the lobby and the terms against casinos with similar studios and licences, so each review says what is different, not just what is there.
Every country plays differently. A good review tells you how a casino works where you live.
What they check
- Licence and accepted countries
- Payment routes for South African accounts
- Terms on withdrawals and account closure
- Similar casinos by studios and licence
