How we score, in the open
Every casino is graded on the same rubric from sourced, dated evidence. No casino can pay for a better score, a higher rank, or more visibility. Here is exactly how a number is built.
The six dimensions
A score out of 100 is the weighted sum of six dimensions. Payout speed and bonus fairness carry the most weight because they map to what costs players the most when they go wrong.
How a score gets built
For each dimension we gather concrete, dated facts — licence registries, operator T&Cs, third-party certificates and our own timed tests.
We deposit, play and withdraw on real accounts, timing payouts and support responses rather than trusting marketing claims.
Each dimension is graded 0–100 against fixed criteria, then combined using the published weights into a single score.
A second reviewer checks every score before publish. Any later change is logged with a reason — we never silently edit a number.
What a number means
No material concerns. Safe, fast, fair. We'd use it ourselves.
Workable, with real trade-offs. Read the watch-outs before you deposit.
Unresolved flags. Listed for transparency, not as a recommendation.
On affiliate links & independence
BetCompass earns commission when you sign up through some links. That funds the testing. It does not buy a score, a rank, or visibility — affiliated and non-affiliated casinos run through the identical rubric, and we list operators we have no relationship with whenever they're relevant. When a casino can't be visited through us, we label it not via us rather than hide it.
