The safest online casinos, ranked by what regulators can prove
These are the 21 casinos whose licence we could verify in a regulator's own register and whose enforcement record we have searched. 17 of them are licensed by top-tier regulators. Read the score against the class beside it, never across classes: a 7.0 from a regulator that publishes its enforcement and audits player funds is a stronger claim than an 8.0 from one that does neither. Casinos whose licence we could not verify are not ranked here at all, and casinos nobody has swept for enforcement are held out. An unblemished record only means something if someone looked.

How this ranking is built
Every casino here holds a licence we verified in the regulator's own register, and every one has had its enforcement history searched. The score starts from the class of regulator that licenses it, subtracts published enforcement action weighted by how serious and how recent it is, and adds a small amount for how long the operator has actually been trading. A bonus has no effect on it.
The full method, including every weight and why it is what it is.
