How to read our list

Each score blends what we actually measured: redeemable value at signup, timed payout speed, how honestly the advertised window matched the stopwatch, depth of the games list, behaviour on an ordinary phone, support answers, clarity of terms, state coverage and ownership transparency, among other things. A loud welcome bundle has never bought a high spot on its own – we’d sooner rank a modest deal with a truthful 24-hour payout over a giant headline strapped to a slow, murky cash-out desk. Front-runners get re-measured monthly, everyone quarterly, and any site that changes its deal gets an immediate second look.
