In short
-

Licence, availability, payments, offer terms, games and review findings, taken together.
-
Rules
An internal system applies the same rules to every casino on the list.
-

Our team reviews the inputs and reassesses a casino when verified facts change.
-
Money
Affiliate commission funds the site; it does not set positions.
So what
What it means for you
-
A top position is not a guarantee
It reflects our inputs at the time; check the licence and terms yourself.
-
Newness is shown separately
Every casino carries its founding year, so you can weigh age against position.

What determines a position
- Combined inputs: no single factor decides; licence, payments, terms and games count together.
- Market relevance: casinos that do not accept South African players do not rank on South African pages.
- Comparison: each casino is placed relative to the others on the same list.
- Consistency: the same rules apply on every list, with market differences only where availability or law differs.
Our ranking system
An internal system turns the inputs from our reviews into positions using fixed rules. It treats every casino the same way and adjusts lists for the market each page serves.
When we reassess
- Risks to player safety or trust.
- Licensing problems or regulatory changes.
- Payment disruptions.
- Unclear or changed terms.
What we avoid
- Moving casinos for short-term promotions.
- Relying on marketing claims.
- Promising positions to casinos.
- Leaving facts unreviewed for long periods.
Ratings
Where a casino shows a rating, it summarises our evaluation on a 1 to 10 scale; 10 means an exceptional, long-term record and 1 significant weaknesses in reliability or safeguards. A new casino rarely reaches the top of the scale, because it has no long-term record.
Partnerships
We earn a commission when readers register at some casinos through our links. That pays for the site. It does not change a casino's inputs, its position or the warnings on its review.
Questions about our rankings
What decides a casino's position?
Several inputs together: licence, availability in South Africa, payments, offer terms, game range and our review findings.
Can a casino pay for a higher position?
No. Commission does not buy placement.
Why does a casino's position change?
When verified facts change: a licence issue, a payment problem, a change in accepted countries or terms.
Why do rankings differ between countries?
Availability matters: a casino that does not accept a country does not rank on that country's pages.
