Founder and reviewer, GlobalCasinoRank - writing here since 2026
"Reading casino terms, for most players, begins after a bad experience. Mine was different. I continued. This is what happens when you read 40 page documents for fun and keep your receipts."
How I work
All casinos on this site are subjected to the same 7 checks in the same order: licence, company, launch evidence, bonus terms, payments, games, player protections. I read the full terms with the 6-jump method, click the licence seal at the regulator's own domain, date the launch from the evidence, and take screenshots of the page behind every number I print. The scores are simple averages, and the methodology page contains the entire scoring rubric.
One reviewer means one calibration. A 4.4 on this site is judged with the same scale as an 8.7, because the same person did the judging on the same day. When the ranking is re-verified each month, the checks are repeated in the same order and any changes are noted on the page with a new date.
What I will never write
- Invented testing stories. My work is done on what casinos publish and what regulators answer. If a review states a figure, the screenshot of its source is beside it; if something could not be verified, the review says so and the score reflects it.
- Borrowed facts. Nothing here is sourced from other review sites, forums or operator press releases. Casino pages and regulator registers, and that is the entire list.
- A paid opinion. Some links earn commissions, as disclosed on every page - and no commission has ever moved a score, a rank or an adjective. The affiliate disclosure spells out the policy; the bottom half of my own ranking is the evidence it is followed.
- An unverifiable boast. No claims about myself you cannot check against the work. The reviews are public, the exhibits are dated, and the arithmetic is printed.
The findings I keep coming back to
The first review cycle demonstrated patterns that span the entire site. In one week, six licence seals failed their own regulator's validator. Two pairs of casinos were also exposed as platform twins by their own terms documents. Operators were legally named as their own registration numbers. There is also a casino licence stamp that allows a casino to set the date of the licence to anytime they wish, regardless of what the site claims. The ranking is where all of it lands, casino by casino.
Corrections and contact
If I got something wrong, I want the correction more than you want to send it - a verification site that can't be corrected is a contradiction. The contact page explains what to send. Verified corrections are made and logged in the change log for the page. More about the site itself is on the about page.
Play responsibly
Play responsiblyGambling is entertainment with a cost, never a way to make money. I read these documents so the cost is visible before you pay it - and no review score makes losing money a better idea. Set your ceiling first, and treat every bonus as spending, not income.
