Review Policy
Our Mission
WorstCasino.com exists to give players honest, data-driven casino and slot reviews. We test every platform ourselves, document what we find, and publish it without interference from the operators we review.
How We Review Online Casinos
Every casino on our site goes through the same structured evaluation. We register as real players, deposit real money, and test the full experience from sign-up to cashout.
1. Registration and KYC
We create a new account and complete the verification process, noting how long it takes, what documents are required, and whether the process is clearly explained.
2. Bonus Evaluation
We claim the welcome bonus and record the exact terms: wagering requirements, game contribution rates, maximum cashout limits, validity period, and any hidden conditions not visible on the promotions page.
3. Game Testing
We play a minimum of 50 rounds across slots, table games, and live dealer titles. We assess game variety, loading times, provider quality, RTP transparency, and whether demo play is available.
4. Withdrawal Test
We request a real money withdrawal and time the entire process from request to funds received. We test at least one payment method per review and document any delays, fees, or additional verification steps.
5. Customer Support
We contact support with a genuine query via live chat and email. We measure response time, accuracy of the answer, and overall helpfulness.
6. Mobile Experience
We test the casino on mobile browsers to assess performance, game library parity, navigation, and account management on smaller screens.
How We Review Slots
Every slot review includes hands-on gameplay and a breakdown of the following:
- RTP (Return to Player) — the theoretical payout percentage
- Volatility — how the game distributes its payouts (low, medium, or high)
- Maximum win — the highest possible payout multiplier
- Bonus features — free spins, multipliers, expanding wilds, bonus buy, and any unique mechanics
- Provider — the software studio behind the game
We also provide free demo versions so you can try any slot before playing for real money.

Editorial Independence
Our reviews are never influenced by commercial relationships. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships — when you click a link and sign up at a casino, we may receive a commission. This does not affect our ratings, rankings, or editorial judgement. Casinos cannot pay for a higher score or to have negative findings removed.
Worst Casino Designation
Casinos that fail our testing — due to missing licences, predatory bonus terms, withheld withdrawals, or unresponsive support — are flagged on our worst casinos watchlist. We believe players deserve to know which operators to avoid, not just which ones to consider.
Updates and Accuracy
We re-test casinos periodically and update our reviews when terms, ownership, or licensing status changes. If you believe any information on our site is outdated or incorrect, contact us at hello@worstcasino.com and we will investigate promptly.
