How Sofia works
How Sofia compares casinos
Sofia benchmarks each new casino against others on our list: payment methods and fees, withdrawal limits, studios, mobile performance and the clarity of its terms.
For fairness she relies on what can be verified: licences on public registers, game certification from independent labs and RTP information in each game.
I compare platforms side by side and simplify the details so you can make a confident choice.
What they check
- Licence and game certification
- Payment methods, currencies and fees
- Withdrawal limits and pending times
- Mobile site and app
