Not the badge on the footer — the number, looked up on the regulator's own site. A badge is an image; a register entry is a fact.
Published terms, before registration
Wagering requirements, withdrawal limits and bonus exclusions should be readable without an account. Terms that appear only after you deposit are a choice the operator made.
Payment rails and withdrawal minimums
Which methods, what minimum, what daily cap, and how long processing takes in writing. What to expect.
How verification is handled
Verification at registration is normal. Verification demanded for the first time at withdrawal is a known delaying pattern.
Three operators
Operator links on this page are affiliate links: we may be paid a commission if you open an account through one. Ranking is not sold. We publish no download links of any kind and take no payment to describe the app more favourably.
We are paid a commission when someone opens an account through a link here. That is how the site is funded, and it is why the section above tells you how to check an operator yourself rather than asking you to accept a ranking. The full policy.
Signs worth walking away from
A licence badge with no number, or a number that does not resolve on the register
Terms that are not published until after registration
Support only through a chat app, with no company details anywhere
Pressure to deposit before verification, then verification demanded at withdrawal
Bonus terms that make the bonus mathematically impossible to clear
An installer offered before you have registered anything
Operator questions
How do I know an operator is licensed?
Find the licence number on their site and look it up on the regulator's own public register. If the number is absent or does not resolve, treat the claim as unmade.
Is a Curaçao licence worth anything?
Less than an MGA or UKGC one, but more than nothing: it creates a registered entity and a complaints route. The important part is that the number is real and current.
How do you rank these?
On licence, published terms, payment rails and withdrawal record. Position is not sold.
Should I trust operator reviews online?
Cautiously. Much of the review content in this niche is written by affiliates, including us — which is why we tell you what to check rather than asking you to take our word.
