How we score foreign casinos: five checks, one lamp per check
Method · sources · who writes here
The score out of 5 on this site measures one thing: how many of the rules that protect your money you can check in writing before you deposit. Here are the rules behind the score, where the facts come from, what we leave out, and who writes.
A score is worth something only if you can see how it was made. The score on our board of foreign casinos is narrow on purpose. It does not say where you will have the most fun, and not where you will win. It says how many of the rules about money are written somewhere you can read them.
The five checks, and how they count
| Check | 1 point | ½ point | 0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licence valid | Active (Curaçao) or valid with more than 90 days left (Anjouan) | Valid with under 90 days left | Absent, or not valid |
| Domain on the certificate | The certificate names the domain you play on | – | It names another domain |
| Verification in writing | A clause or passage saying when or how they ask for documents | – | Not apparent from what we read |
| Withdrawal cap in writing | A maximum per day, week or month is stated | – | Not apparent |
| Denmark outside the excluded countries | Full list read, and Denmark is not on it | – | No list, a list cut short, or Denmark on it |
The score is the sum, with no adjustments by hand. The result as at 19.09.2026:
| Casino | Licence | Domain | Verification | Cap | Denmark | Score |

Where the facts come from
Licence registers. On 18 September 2026 we looked every domain up at cert.cga.cw (Curaçao) and in the public Anjouan licence register, from a server in the Netherlands. We copied the number, the company, the date of issue, the status and, for Anjouan, the expiry date.
The casinos' terms. Read on the casinos' own pages. We noted the clause and the exact wording on verification, the withdrawal cap and excluded countries.
What we do not use. Archived copies of old terms, other sites' reviews, tables of «payout time» with no source, and whatever the chat says. If a page could not be fetched live, the check stays unlit, even where an old copy exists.
Why an unlit lamp is not an accusation
Seven casinos sit on two lamps because their terms could not be fetched from our server, or do not mention the rules: some block connections from data centres, others show their legal pages only in a full browser. That says nothing bad about them. It says we could not check what a player ought to be able to check, and that is what the score measures. When we can read the terms, the board is updated. Check what we could not: check a casino licence and withdrawals and the trial withdrawal.
What we do not measure
- Payout time. We have played for our own money only at Vave: two withdrawals are not a statistic.
- Games, bonuses and support. They change every week and say nothing about whether you get your money.
- The chance of winning. The house edge does not depend on whether a casino can be trusted.
- Casinos that are not on the board. We do not score casinos we have not checked, good or bad.
Vave, outside the score
Vave stands first on the board and without a score, because we know more about Vave than about the others: it is the only casino where we played for our own money, and the score measures only what is written down. We ran the five checks on Vave all the same, in the review, with the result in plain view. It is also the casino where we played for our own money: one deposit in crypto and two withdrawals, on 28 August and 2 September 2026, without being asked for documents.
None of the thirteen scored casinos could buy itself a lamp: the order comes from the licence register and from the casinos' own written terms, and nothing else moves it.
Who writes here
The site is written by a small desk that reads licence registers and casino terms. We do not sign with our own names: the method is the signature. If a fact has changed since the date of the lookup, the register's or the casino's information applies, and we correct ours. The ideas behind the checks are explained in what a foreign casino is.
