Our method

How we rank new casinos

The order of casinos on this site comes from a fixed set of rules applied to the same inputs for every casino. This page explains what goes in, what moves a casino up or down and what we never do.

In short

  1. Inputs

    Licence, terms, bonuses, games and studios, payments, country access and verified player feedback.

  2. Rules

    Our ranking system combines the inputs with fixed rules rather than manual placement.

  3. Market

    Casinos that do not accept players from Zimbabwe are left out of the lists here.

  4. Money

    We earn affiliate commission, which does not buy a position.

So what

What it means for you

  • A ranking is not a guarantee

    It compares casinos on the facts we can check. A new casino still has no payout history; test it with a small withdrawal.

  • Offers change

    We show welcome offers as each casino states them. Confirm the current offer on the casino's site.

  • Positions move

    A licence problem or payment trouble lowers a casino as soon as we verify it.

How the ranking works

Every new casino goes through the same review process. Our editors score the casino on its licence, general and bonus terms, games and studios, payment methods, country access and the verified feedback we receive. Those scores feed our ranking system, which combines them with fixed rules and sets the order of each list.

Lists on this site are filtered for Zimbabwe: a casino that blocks players from Zimbabwe does not appear. Lists for new casinos only include casinos founded this year or in the two years before, by the year each casino states.

When a ranking changes

  • Licence suspended, expired or impossible to verify.
  • Changes to terms that hurt players, or terms that become unclear.
  • Payment disruptions or repeated withdrawal complaints we can verify.
  • A casino starts or stops accepting players from Zimbabwe.

Our scores

Each casino receives a score out of 10. High scores reflect a strong, verifiable licence, clear terms and reliable payments over time; low scores mean real limitations. Because new casinos have a short history, few reach the top of the scale in their first year.

Affiliate income

We earn commission when visitors sign up with some casinos through our links. That income pays for the site. Partnerships also bring us news of changes to licences, payment methods and games sooner, which we verify before it affects a score.

How we rank: questions

What decides a casino's position?

Several inputs considered together: licence, terms, bonus conditions, games and studios, payments, country access and verified feedback. No single factor decides.

How does the ranking system work?

It applies the same fixed rules to every casino across our network of more than 70 local sites, using the scores our editors assign.

Do casinos pay for a higher position?

No. We earn commission when players sign up through our links, but the order follows our ranking rules.

When are rankings reassessed?

When we verify a material change: licence or regulatory issues, payment disruptions, unclear terms or risks to players.

Why are some casinos missing for Zimbabwe?

Casinos that do not accept players from Zimbabwe are not listed on this site.
