Our five rating criteria
- Licensing and safety: we check who operates the casino, which authority licenses it, whether the site uses encryption and whether it publishes clear terms, complaint procedures and responsible gambling tools.
- Real minimum deposit: the advertised minimum is not always the minimum for every method. We record the lowest amount accepted for PayID, Neosurf and other popular methods, and whether that amount qualifies for the welcome bonus.
- Payout speed and limits: how fast withdrawals are approved, which methods can be used to cash out, the minimum withdrawal amount and any fees.
- Bonus fairness: wagering requirements, maximum bet rules, game restrictions and time limits. A smaller bonus with fair terms scores higher than a big headline offer that is almost impossible to clear.
- Mobile experience: most small-deposit players use a phone, so the cashier, pokies library and verification process must work smoothly on mobile.
How the ranking is decided
Each criterion is scored and combined into the overall rating shown in our lists. On payment-specific pages (for example $10 PayID casinos) we only list casinos that accept that method at that deposit amount, and we show the minimum that applies to that method.
- Commercial relationships do not affect scores: a casino cannot pay for a better rating or position.
- Ratings are reviewed regularly: when bonuses, limits or payment options change, we update the listing and the page date.
- Casinos can be removed: delayed payouts, unfair terms or unresolved player complaints lead to removal.
What a rating does not mean
A high rating is not a guarantee of winnings. Casino games are based on chance and the house always has an edge. Always read the casino's own terms before you deposit, and only play with money you can afford to lose.
