Our Methodology
At SafeCasinoGuru, we take our reviews and ratings seriously. Every casino and platform we review undergoes the same rigorous evaluation process. Here is how we assess and score platforms to ensure our recommendations are fair, accurate, and useful.
We verify provably fair implementations, check published RTP values against actual gameplay, and test house edge calculations. Platforms with provably fair games and transparent house edges score higher.
We evaluate the real value of promotions, rakeback percentages, VIP tier requirements, and bonus terms. We calculate the effective return to players at various wagering levels to determine true value.
We test the platform on desktop and mobile, evaluate loading speeds, navigation quality, game search functionality, and overall interface polish. We also assess customer support responsiveness and quality.
We verify gaming licenses, check SSL implementation, evaluate 2FA options, review privacy policies, and research the platform's security track record. Licensed platforms with strong security measures score highest.
We test deposit and withdrawal speeds, check supported cryptocurrencies and fiat options, evaluate fee structures, and verify minimum/maximum transaction limits.
Scoring
Each criterion is scored on a 1-10 scale, then weighted according to the percentages above to produce a final composite score. We update our reviews periodically to reflect platform changes, and all scores are subject to revision based on new information or user feedback.
Transparency
We are transparent about our affiliate relationships. When we link to a platform and you sign up, we may earn a commission. However, our ratings are never influenced by affiliate revenue. We have given low scores to platforms with generous affiliate programs and high scores to platforms with minimal programs, because our commitment is to accurate information.
