What earns a casino a rating here? Evidence before a number.

A casino review should help someone understand what happens after the welcome offer. The hardest questions usually sit in the cashier, the identity checks and the rules for withdrawing a balance.

A research profile is a starting point

The profiles in our launch directory have no CCD rating. They collect named sources, flag outstanding questions and distinguish the operator’s claims from independently tested experience. We have not completed first-hand account, deposit or withdrawal testing for those profiles.

We may cite another publication’s assessment, such as Casino Guru’s Safety Index. We identify it as that publication’s measure and date it. It does not become a CCD score by appearing on this site.

The evidence we want to publish

• The legal operator and a checked link to the relevant license record.
• The country and account restrictions that applied on the date of testing.
• The documents requested during identity verification.
• Deposit and withdrawal limits, fees and timestamps from an actual test.
• Bonus conditions, including contribution rules and maximum-bet restrictions.
• A support exchange that shows how a specific problem was handled.

Placement is a different decision

Featured position is an editorial or commercial placement control. It is separate from a review score. A sponsored listing will be labeled; a casino operated by us will carry an ownership label. Payment or ownership cannot substitute for evidence about the player experience.

Read the date and the limits of the test

One successful withdrawal cannot prove that every withdrawal will be smooth. One unresolved complaint cannot describe every customer’s experience. A useful review gives readers the date, the circumstances and the remaining uncertainty so they can judge the evidence themselves.
