Find out how Casino Atlas rates online casinos. Learn about our 6-point system, weighting model, expert review process, and how we assign special badges.
Casino Atlas is not run by bots or interns scanning terms and conditions. Our reviews come from experts who live and breathe iGaming. We play, we compare, we test. We check payout speeds, measure support response times, and actually use the features these sites advertise. We know what matters to players—because we are players.
We do not just look at how flashy a site looks or how big the welcome bonus is. We look under the hood. And once we are done, we assign every casino a rating on a scale of 1 to 5. Our 6-point casino score is based on tangible data and it offers you trustworthiness, reliability, and transparency that guesswork-based opinions cannot replace.
That number is not a guess. It comes from a system we use consistently across all brands.
We start here because nothing else matters if the brand has a history of shady behavior. We look at:
Casinos with unresolved payout issues, fake licensing, or a pile of angry user reviews are rated low, no matter how good the interface looks.
A good casino lets you deposit and withdraw without jumping through hoops. Here is what we check:
Casinos that support local methods and process withdrawals quickly always score higher.
We test the game catalogue ourselves. We do not just count the number of slots. We check:
If a casino has 6,000 games but no way to find the good ones, it drops points.
Big bonuses are useless if you never get to withdraw. We review:
We do not fall for flashy banners. We read the fine print, so you do not have to.
Even great casinos mess up sometimes. The question is—how fast do they fix it?
We test the support team. We ask real questions. We check if they give relevant answers.
A good-looking site is great. A usable one is better.
We also give extra points if the casino has an Android or iOS app, as long as it works.
In addition to the 1 to 5 score, we use badges to highlight certain strengths or specializations. Casino Atlas Badges are binary (yes/no) flags that tell you what the casino is good at—even if the overall rating is not perfect.
Most Trusted 5-star Reputation + 4.5+ overall rating + valid license
New Casino Launched in the last two years
Crypto Casino Specialised in crypto (not just accepting BTC), includes features like crypto trading or wallet integration
Fast Payout High rating (4.0+) + wide support for e-wallets/crypto
Market-Focused Based on the market (India, Canada, or UK), supports local currency, games, native language support, and licenses
A casino can have several badges and still score low. For example, a crypto-heavy site with great payments might still fail on responsible gambling tools. The Casino Atlas Badges are there to give you extra context, not to sugarcoat the overall performance.
We do not just skim terms and slap stars on logos. We investigate. We test. We talk to users. Our reviews are designed to be honest, practical, and useful—whether you are a high roller or just getting started.
If a casino has a high rating from us, it earned it. And if it does not? You deserve to know why. Our thorough 6-point rating system and the descriptive Casino Atlas badges taken together work as a guiding light, giving you real-world, actually useful insights with no fluff and no sugarcoating.
