Honest reviews,
by real experts
Since 2018, CasinoTips.io has been the independent voice players turn to before they deposit. We test, score and stand behind every recommendation so you always know exactly who you're playing with.
Our process, step by step
License check first. If an operator isn't licensed for the market we're reviewing it for, it doesn't get recommended there. We confirm licensing against the relevant regulator (for example, iGaming Ontario for Ontario, AGLC for Alberta, the UKGC for the UK). Hands-on testing where we can. When our budget allows, we open a real account, deposit, play, and request a withdrawal so we can report actual payout times, verification (KYC) experience, and support quality rather than guessing. Primary-source verification for the rest. Where we haven't tested first-hand, we verify every claim against the operator's own terms and conditions and official regulator information. We tell you which parts are tested and which are verified. Scoring. We score each of the seven criteria below, combine them into an overall rating, and write up the honest pros and cons. Dated and revisited. Every review shows when it was last checked, and we update it when terms, licensing, or performance change.
The seven things we score
Every casino we review is scored against the same seven criteria, using the same process, so our ratings mean the same thing from one review to the next. Here's exactly how it works — no black box.

Independent, transparent, and on your side
We earn commissions from some operators, but our ratings are not for sale. An operator cannot pay to raise its score.

Ratings are not for sale
We earn commissions from some operators, but our ratings are not for sale. An operator cannot pay to raise its score, and we recommend against sites that fail our standards even when we have a commercial relationship with them.
The people behind the reviews
