The state of the casinos we track, in numbers
Every figure on this page is computed from our own database the moment the site is built, not copied from anywhere — 54 casinos, each checked by hand against primary records. Where a number has a denominator, we show it; where it has a date, it is 2026-07-16. This is the research the rest of the site is built on.
How many casinos can even be verified
The single most important number here: of 54 casinos we researched, how many hold a licence we could actually confirm in a regulator's own register.
- 45 licence verified in a regulator register
- 9 licence we could not verify anywhere
- 30 licensed by a top-tier regulator
- 20 licensed by a lighter-touch regulator

How long your money really takes, by rail
Median end-to-end withdrawal time — request to spendable, including the operator's review window — for each class of payout method, across the casinos that offer it. Crypto and cards are not the same product and are never averaged together.
| Rail class | Median time to your hands | Fastest we found | Casinos offering it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crypto | 24 hours | 1 hour — BitStarz | 19 |
| Ewallet | 24 hours | 1 hour — BitStarz | 42 |
| Card | 5 days | 24 hours — BetRivers | 38 |
| Bank | 5 business days | 24 hours — Fanatics | 48 |

What the bonuses actually demand
Wagering requirement is the number that decides whether a "100% bonus" is worth anything — it is the multiple of the bonus (or deposit-plus-bonus) you must stake before you can withdraw. Here is the spread across every casino that publishes one.
- 25×median wagering requirement
- 1×lowest — BetRivers
- 60×highest — Mostbet
A bonus does not move any score on this site, whatever its wagering. This figure is here so you can judge an offer, not because a low multiple makes a casino safer.

Who really owns these brands
The brands market themselves as rivals; many share an owner, a licence and a balance sheet. 21 companies control the 27 brands whose ownership we have mapped. The concentration is the point — "shopping around" between two of these is often shopping within one company.

How to use these numbers
They describe our sample — the casinos we have finished researching — not the whole market, and the sample grows every week, so the figures move. Each is recomputed from the database on every build and carries the build date. If you cite one, cite the date with it. The method behind the underlying scores is on the How we score page, and every brand-level fact links to its source on that brand's profile.
