1. Transparency
Can a reader find the operator, terms, support and jurisdiction information?
2. Product fit
We consider the relevant product mix, game or market range and whether the page explains what is actually being compared.
3. Payments and account friction
We look for clear deposit, withdrawal, verification and support information. We do not treat a large payment list as proof of quality.
4. Responsible-play controls
Visible limits, breaks, self-exclusion information and non-pressuring language matter.
5. Evidence freshness
Archived claims are useful historical context, not current evidence. Scores should be revisited when material terms change.
What the score is not
It is not a probability of winning, a promise of payout speed or a claim that the operator is legal everywhere.
