Online Casino Reviews: Top Rated Casinos Compared

Online casino reviews checked for licence, bonus wagering, withdrawal limits and complaint routes. See how we rate casinos and which ones we no longer list.

Compare casinos How our reviews work

We may earn a commission from casinos we list; it never decides a rating. Editorial policy. 18+ or your local legal age. Gambling involves financial risk.

The online casino reviews on 99casinos are built around the questions that decide whether you get paid: who licenses the casino, what the bonus terms really demand, how much you can withdraw, and what happens when something goes wrong. Below are the five casinos we currently list for international players, led by Trixino, each with its licence number, its key bonus terms and a link to the full review. All five are sister sites on one platform with offshore Anjouan licences, low withdrawal caps and terms with real catches, and we say where each one falls short. If you live in a country that licenses casinos itself, such as the UK, the Netherlands or Sweden, read the country notes further down before you sign up anywhere.

Offers and terms were checked 19 October 2026 against each operator’s own pages and the Anjouan licence register (for Seven Casino, whose live site was blocked to us, against archived copies of its own pages). They can change without notice, and the casino’s terms always win over our summary. All five casinos on this list exclude players in the UK, the US, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Austria and Australia, among others. 18+ only, and please gamble responsibly.

UK players: read this first

Only operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) may offer gambling to people in Great Britain: that is the effect of the Gambling Act 2005, as extended to overseas operators by the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014. None of the casinos in our toplist holds a UKGC licence, and none of them is aimed at UK residents. GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion scheme, only covers UKGC-licensed sites, so it would not stop you playing at an offshore casino. UK players should choose a UKGC licensee; you can check any operator on the Commission’s public register. We have no commercial deal with UKGC brands, so we do not link to them from this list.

How we rate online casinos

Our reviews are desk research, and we say so plainly. For each casino we read the operator’s general terms, bonus terms and payments page, look the licence up in the regulator’s own register, check enforcement lists in markets such as the Netherlands and Sweden, and record the complaint history on independent dispute sites. We do not claim test deposits, play sessions or withdrawal timings that did not happen. Where a fact could not be confirmed from a primary source, the review says so instead of guessing.

Each casino ends up with a rating from 1 to 5, using the method published on our how we rate casinos page: six criteria, each marked 1 to 5, weighted and added up, then rounded to one decimal place. Licence carries the most weight because it decides where you can turn if a casino will not pay.

Criterion Weight What we check
Licence for your country 30% Regulator, licence number and status in the public register, the company that holds it, and any fines or bans in any market
Payments and withdrawals 20% Deposit and withdrawal methods, minimum withdrawal, daily and monthly caps, stated processing time, fees
Bonus terms 15% Wagering multiple and base (bonus only or deposit plus bonus), game contribution, maximum stake, expiry, cap on winnings
Games 15% Range and approved suppliers, live tables, sportsbook, whether RTP figures are published
Player protection 10% Deposit, loss and time limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion
Support and usability 10% Support hours and channels, clarity of terms, how the site works on a phone

This is how the five casinos in our current list score, criterion by criterion:

Casino Licence (30%) Payments (20%) Bonus (15%) Games (15%) Protection (10%) Support (10%) Rating
Trixino 2.5 2.5 4 3 4 3 3.0
Smash Casino 2.5 3 2 4 2.5 4 2.9
Rivo Casino 2 2 3.5 3.5 3.5 4 2.8
Wildzy 1.5 2.5 3.5 3.5 2.5 3.5 2.6
Seven Casino 1.5 3 2 4 2 3.5 2.5

A few of those marks need explaining. No casino on the list scores above 2.5 for licence, because all five hold offshore Anjouan licences and none is licensed in the UK, the EU or the US. Trixino and Smash Casino get 2.5: Trixino’s footer names its operator, Exceptiosoft LTD, and its licence number, and Smash Casino’s licence holder, Softon Ltd, is a named company whose seal validated, although Sweden’s regulator issued an order on 9 July 2026 banning Softon Ltd from offering gambling in Sweden. Rivo Casino gets 2 because its own pages name neither operator nor licence; we found it only in the register. Wildzy and Seven Casino get 1.5: neither names its operator, Wildzy’s licence holder, Rabocse SRL, is under a Swedish ban order dated 18 August 2025 and its licence expires on 27 December 2026, and the mirror domain Seven Casino last ran on is not on any licence. Payments marks are low across the board because all five cap withdrawals at EUR 1,000 a day, with a EUR 100 minimum. On bonus terms, Trixino leads with 7x wagering published on its own site, Rivo Casino and Wildzy publish 10x, and Smash Casino and Seven Casino score 2 because their own pages publish no wagering figure at all. Each casino’s full review shows the reasoning behind every mark. How we separate commercial deals from ratings, and how we correct mistakes, is set out in our editorial policy.

We are an affiliate site. When you sign up through one of our links, the casino may pay us a commission, and all five casinos on this list are commercial partners. That never changes a licence number, a wagering figure or a score above; it is also why every entry carries its restrictions in full.

What every 99casinos review covers

A score is only useful if you can see what sits behind it. Each full review on the site follows the same structure, so you can compare two casinos section by section rather than trusting a single number.

Licence and company

We name the company that holds the licence, its registration number and country, and the licence number with a link to the regulator’s register. Where one company runs several brands, we list the sister sites too: Trixino and Rivo Casino, for example, are both listed under Exceptiosoft LTD’s Anjouan licence ALSI-202606020-FI1, which covers 21 domains. That matters because a ban or fine usually hits the company, and with it every brand on the licence.

Bonuses and promotions

Every review breaks the welcome offer down deposit by deposit, with the wagering multiple, the base it applies to, the time limit, the maximum bet and any cap on winnings. We also note what the headline hides: which payment methods are excluded, which games do not count, and whether you have to opt in to marketing to claim it.

Games

For MGA casinos, the regulator’s register lists the game suppliers each licensee is approved to use, and we quote that list rather than counting logos in the lobby. Anjouan publishes no such list, so for Anjouan casinos we report the studios shown in the lobby and say that is where the list comes from. Reviews also say whether there is a live casino and a sportsbook, and whether RTP figures are visible in the game information screens.

Payment methods

Deposit and withdrawal methods, minimum and maximum amounts, processing times as the casino states them, fees, and the point at which identity checks become mandatory all go into this section.

Customer support

Reviews record the support channels, opening hours, languages and contact addresses. All five casinos we list publish support and complaints email addresses; four say live chat runs 24/7, while Trixino does not publish its support hours.

Legality and reputation

Finally, each review sets out which countries the casino excludes, any regulator action against the operator, and the complaint record on independent dispute sites, including how the casino responded. A casino with one rejected complaint is not in the same place as one with a pattern of unpaid winnings.

How 99casinos scores online casinos

Licences explained: what each regulator means for you

A licence tells you two things: which rules the casino has to follow, and where you can turn if it refuses to pay. The second point matters more than most players realise, because several regulators no longer handle individual player complaints at all. Here is how the licences you will meet most often compare.

Regulator Who it covers If you have a complaint
UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) Anyone offering gambling to consumers in Great Britain Complain to the operator; after 8 weeks without a resolution (or earlier on a final response) you can go to the operator’s approved ADR provider
Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) EU hub licence used by many international casinos The MGA’s Player Support Unit stopped ruling on individual disputes on 1 April 2019; use the operator’s approved ADR body, such as eCOGRA
Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), Netherlands Casinos serving Dutch players since 1 October 2021 The KSA supervises but does not decide private disputes; licensees must be affiliated with the Geschillencommissie Kansspelen op afstand
Spelinspektionen, Sweden Casinos serving Swedish players since 1 January 2019 Spelinspektionen does not resolve individual disputes; Swedish consumers can take a dispute to ARN (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden) or to court
Estonian Tax and Customs Board (EMTA) Estonian gambling licences The Consumer Disputes Committee is only for residents of Estonia; casino age limit is 21
Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) Licences issued under the LOK law in force since 24 December 2024 The CGA does not mediate individual disputes: complain to the casino first, then to one of the seven CGA-certified ADR bodies (list dated 31 August 2026)
Anjouan Offshore licence common among newer casinos, including all five we currently list The authority does not handle complaints: file through the site’s seal, the operator has 30 days (game-outcome disputes within 14 days), then operator-paid ADR
Tobique Gaming Commission Offshore e-gaming licences, often held by crypto-friendly casinos Start with the operator’s own complaint procedure and keep written records; check the dispute route named in the casino’s terms
Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) Founded 10 June 1996; online licensing since 8 July 1999 The KGC accepts written player complaints through its dispute resolution process, filed at least 7 days and no later than 6 months after the matter arose

UK Gambling Commission

The UKGC is the strictest regulator most international players will come across. Its licensees must run affordability and identity checks, belong to GAMSTOP, show clear terms and use an approved ADR provider. Since 19 January 2026 UKGC licensees may not set bonus wagering requirements above 10x. Online slots are also limited to stakes of GBP 5 per spin for adults aged 25 and over (from 9 April 2025) and GBP 2 for 18 to 24-year-olds (from 21 May 2025). Those protections only apply at UKGC-licensed sites, which is the main reason we tell UK readers to stay with them.

Malta Gaming Authority

Malta is the EU’s main hub for online gambling licences, and its public register lets you look up any MGA B2C licence by number or company. None of the casinos we currently list holds an MGA licence, which is one reason none of them scores above 2.5 for licence. An MGA licence is valid in Malta and is used to serve other markets that do not require a local licence. It does not override national licensing systems.

Kansspelautoriteit (Netherlands)

Dutch law has allowed licensed online casinos since 1 October 2021, and only KSA licensees may serve players in the Netherlands. The KSA fines offshore operators that serve Dutch players without a licence, and those fines run into millions of euros. Licensed sites are connected to Cruks, the national self-exclusion register. Our iDEAL casinos page lists KSA-licensed options only.

Spelinspektionen (Sweden)

Sweden has required a Spelinspektionen licence for anyone offering gambling to Swedes since 1 January 2019. An EU licence does not give a right to target Sweden: Spelinspektionen banned the Malta-based Claymore Malta on 8 January 2026. It has also issued orders banning Softon Ltd, the operator of Smash Casino (9 July 2026), and Rabocse SRL, the licence holder the Anjouan register shows for Wildzy (18 August 2025), from offering gambling to people in Sweden. Licensed sites are part of Spelpaus, the national self-exclusion scheme, which does not apply at unlicensed casinos. Read casinos without a Swedish licence before you play outside the Swedish system.

Curaçao Gaming Authority

Curaçao’s National Ordinance on Games of Chance (Landsverordening op de kansspelen, LOK) took effect on 24 December 2024 and replaced the old master-licence and sublicence model. Licences are now issued directly by the Curaçao Gaming Authority, which publishes a register showing valid, expired and revoked licences. In September 2026 the CGA confirmed unauthorised access to its portal on 17 and 22 September; the portal was still offline on 2 October 2026, and the CGA says existing licences remain valid. For players, the key point is complaints: the CGA does not mediate individual disputes, so the route is the casino first and then one of its seven certified ADR bodies.

Anjouan, Tobique and Kahnawake

These three licences are common among crypto-friendly and newly launched casinos, and Anjouan is the one behind every casino we currently list: Trixino and Rivo Casino under Exceptiosoft LTD’s licence ALSI-202606020-FI1, Smash Casino under Softon Ltd’s ALSI-202409012-FI1, Wildzy under Rabocse SRL’s ALSI-202412035-FI2, and Seven Casino under Exceptiosoft’s licence for its domain 777seven.casino. Anjouan licences are checked by the seal ID on the casino’s site (a bare-domain lookup always shows “invalid”), and the public register at anjouangaming.com lists the domains on each licence. Only Smash Casino showed a seal we could validate; Rivo Casino, Wildzy and Seven Casino do not name their licence on their own pages at all, and all five set Curaçao law in their terms despite holding an Anjouan licence. The authority leaves complaints to the operator and an operator-paid ADR body. Tobique is a Canadian First Nation commission that issues e-gaming licences to offshore operators. Kahnawake, near Montreal, has the longest track record of the three and runs its own dispute resolution for permit holders. Treat all three as a minimum standard: they confirm the operator exists and has rules to follow, but the casino’s own record matters more.

One rule applies to every licence on this list. A licence protects you only where it applies, and it never makes a casino legal in a country that requires its own licence. Our guide to legal online casinos shows how to look a licence up in each register.

Checking an online casino licence in the regulator register

Bonus terms explained, with a worked example

The headline number on a casino bonus tells you very little. What decides its value is the small print, and almost every bonus at an offshore casino has the same six moving parts.

  • Wagering multiple and base. “35x deposit + bonus” means far more betting than “35x bonus”. Always check which base applies.
  • Time limit. Some casinos give you as little as 48 hours to complete wagering. The five casinos we list publish no wagering deadline, but their terms let them cancel an unused bonus one month after it is issued.
  • Maximum bet. Usually EUR 5 per spin while a bonus is active, and EUR 2 at all five casinos we list. Breaking it can void your winnings.
  • Cap on winnings. Trixino, Smash Casino, Rivo Casino and Wildzy cap winnings from a deposit bonus at 25 times the bonus; Seven Casino caps them at 10 times the bonus or cash amount. All five also cap total winnings at EUR 100,000 a day.
  • Game weighting. Slots normally count 100%. At all five casinos we list, live casino, table games and video poker do not count towards wagering, and long lists of named slots and crash games cannot be played with an active bonus at all.
  • Excluded payment methods. Some casinos state that e-wallet deposits such as Skrill, Neteller or Paysafecard do not qualify for a bonus. None of the five casinos we list publishes such a rule, but none publishes its full cashier either, so ask before you deposit.

Worked example: a EUR 100 first deposit at Trixino

Trixino matches the first deposit 200% up to EUR 500, with 7x wagering, the lowest of the casinos we list. Its terms do not say whether the 7x applies to the bonus alone or to the deposit plus bonus, so here are both readings:

  1. You deposit EUR 100 and receive a EUR 200 bonus, so your playing balance is EUR 300.
  2. Wagering is 7 x EUR 200 = EUR 1,400 in bets on the bonus alone, or 7 x EUR 300 = EUR 2,100 if the deposit counts too.
  3. With a EUR 2 maximum bet, that takes at least 700 spins (1,050 on the higher reading). No wagering deadline is published, but an unused bonus can be cancelled after one month.
  4. On a slot that returns 96% to players over the long run, the expected cost of EUR 1,400 in bets is 4% of it, or EUR 56 (EUR 84 on EUR 2,100). That is well below your EUR 300 balance, so on average you finish wagering with money left.
  5. If you do finish, the most the bonus can turn into is 25 x EUR 200 = EUR 5,000, and it comes out at no more than EUR 1,000 a day.

On paper that is an easy bonus to clear. The catches sit elsewhere: the EUR 2 stake limit, the games you cannot play with it and the slow route to your money. The maths still shows why we rate bonus terms on the multiple and the rules around it rather than the headline amount. Two of the casinos we list, Smash Casino and Seven Casino, publish no wagering figure on their own pages at all; the 10x in their entries comes from the offer we were given for players who join through our links, so confirm it with support before you opt in. For comparison, a UKGC casino today can ask for no more than 10x. Under that cap a GBP 100 bonus needs at most GBP 1,000 in bets.

Free spins and wager-free rewards

Free spins are worth what their spin value and winnings rules say: check the value per spin, the eligible games and whether winnings are paid as cash or as bonus money with wagering. None of the five casinos we currently list includes free spins in its welcome package, and none offers a no-deposit bonus, so if wager-free spins are what you want, look elsewhere. Compare more offers on our welcome bonuses, free spins bonuses and no deposit bonuses pages.

Comparing casino bonus wagering terms

Bonus types at a glance

Bonus type How it works What to check
Deposit match The casino adds a percentage of your deposit as bonus money, often over several deposits Wagering base and multiple, time limit, cap on winnings
Free spins A set number of spins on named slots at a fixed spin value Spin value, eligible games, whether winnings are wagered or paid as cash
No deposit bonus A small bonus or a few spins for registering, before you pay anything in Usually high wagering and a low cap on what you can withdraw
Cashback A share of net losses returned, daily or weekly Whether it is paid as cash or as bonus money with wagering
Reload bonus A deposit match for existing players The same terms as a welcome match, often with a lower percentage
High roller bonus Larger match amounts for bigger deposits Withdrawal caps, which can matter more than the bonus at that level

Cashback needs the most care on our current list. The offers we were given for players who join through our links include 25% cashback at Trixino, Smash Casino, Rivo Casino and Wildzy and 10% at Seven Casino, but the casinos’ own pages either describe cashback as VIP-only or, at Trixino, do not show it, and none publishes cashback terms. Ask support how it is paid before you count on it. Whatever the type, you can always decline a bonus. Playing with your own money only means no wagering, no maximum bet and nothing standing between you and a withdrawal.

Payment methods at online casinos

How you deposit decides how you get paid, how fast, and sometimes whether you can claim a bonus at all. Most casinos send withdrawals back to the method you deposited with, so choose it with the payout in mind. This is how the main options compare at the casinos we list:

Method Deposit Withdrawal Points to know
Visa and Mastercard debit Instant Usually 1 to 5 banking days after approval Card logos shown by Smash Casino, Rivo Casino, Wildzy and Seven Casino; Trixino’s cashier is not public; some banks block payments to offshore gambling sites
Apple Pay Instant Paid out to the linked card or another method Shown only by Wildzy among the casinos we list
Instant bank transfer Instant Usually within 3 banking days at the casinos we list, per their terms Giropay and Sofort logos shown by Smash Casino, Rivo Casino and Seven Casino; availability depends on your country
E-wallets (Skrill, Neteller, Jeton, MiFinity) Instant Usually within 24 hours of approval The casinos we list mention e-wallets in general terms but name none on their public pages
Revolut Instant Varies Not named by any casino we currently list
Paysafecard and AstroPay Instant Paysafecard vouchers cannot receive payouts Useful for budgeting, but you need a second method to cash out
Crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC) After network confirmations Often within an hour after approval at crypto-first casinos A crypto logo at Smash Casino, Rivo Casino and Seven Casino and a Bitcoin logo at Wildzy, but none lists its coins outside the cashier; price risk unless you use a stablecoin

Two names from older casino guides are gone. Entropay, the virtual card many sites recommended, closed on 1 July 2019, and ecoPayz now trades as Payz after a rebrand in 2023. Our payment methods hub covers every option, from cards and e-wallets to bank transfers, and our Bitcoin casinos page explains wallets, network fees and the risks of paying in crypto.

Online casino payment methods compared

Withdrawal speeds and limits

A fast payout has four stages, and the casino controls only some of them. First the withdrawal sits as pending, often for up to 24 hours, so the casino can review it. Then comes verification: if you have not yet sent your ID and proof of address, nothing moves until you do. Third, the casino processes the payment. Finally your bank, wallet or the blockchain delivers it.

The casinos we list publish clear numbers, and they are tight. Trixino, Smash Casino, Rivo Casino and Wildzy set a EUR 100 minimum withdrawal and limits of EUR 1,000 a day and EUR 10,000 a month; Seven Casino allows EUR 1,000 a day and EUR 2,000 a week. All five allow one withdrawal request per 24 hours and say payouts are usually processed within three banking days. Your last deposit must be wagered at least once before it can be withdrawn, and full identity checks apply to any withdrawal request or once your lifetime deposits pass EUR 2,000. All five also cap winnings at EUR 100,000 a day.

Those caps matter if you win big. A EUR 50,000 win paid at EUR 10,000 a month takes five months to reach your account, and at Seven Casino’s EUR 2,000 a week it takes about six months. Check the limits before you play, not after you win.

How to get paid faster

  1. Upload your ID and proof of address right after you register, not when you first withdraw.
  2. Withdraw to the same method you deposited with.
  3. Finish or cancel any active bonus before asking for a payout.
  4. Prefer e-wallets, instant bank transfer or crypto over cards and wire transfers.
  5. Avoid weekend requests at casinos that only process payouts on working days.

Our fast payout casinos page compares processing times in more detail. Pay-and-play sign-up through your bank, without a separate account, is mainly offered in Nordic markets.

Identity checks (KYC): what casinos ask for and when

Licensed casinos must know who their customers are, both to stop under-age gambling and to meet anti-money-laundering rules. Expect three kinds of request:

  • Proof of identity: a passport, national ID card or driving licence, clear and in date.
  • Proof of address: a recent utility bill or bank statement in your name, usually no older than three months.
  • Proof of payment method: a photo of the card with the middle digits covered, or a screenshot of the e-wallet account.

Larger players can also be asked for source of funds, such as payslips or bank statements, once deposits pass a threshold. The casinos we list ask for a photo ID, a selfie holding that ID and proof of address, and say the review usually takes about 48 hours. Use the casino’s secure upload when one exists. A casino that asks for documents over a messaging app, or that only starts asking after you win, is a reason for caution.

Verification is also where most payout delays come from. Blurry photos, a name that does not match the payment account, or an address that differs from the one on your profile all reset the clock. Getting it done on the day you register is the single easiest way to speed up your first withdrawal.

Playing on mobile

The casinos on our list are played in a mobile browser on iOS and Android, and we found no app for any of them, so there is nothing to install. That is normal for international casinos: Apple and Google only allow real-money gambling apps from operators licensed in the markets where the app is offered, so offshore casinos rarely have one in the app stores. Be careful with “casino apps” offered as direct downloads from unofficial sites. A home-screen shortcut to the casino’s web address gives you the same experience without the risk.

Crypto casinos: what changes

Crypto casinos accept deposits in coins such as Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin and stablecoins like USDT and USDC. The attractions are speed once a withdrawal is approved, and no bank in the middle that might block a gambling payment. The downsides are just as real. Coin prices move, so a win in Bitcoin can be worth less by the time you sell it; stablecoins avoid most of that. Payments sent to the wrong address or network cannot be reversed. Most crypto-first casinos also hold offshore licences with limited complaint routes. On our current list, Smash Casino, Rivo Casino and Seven Casino show a crypto logo and Wildzy a Bitcoin logo, but none of them lists its coins outside the cashier, and their terms give the same processing time for crypto as for other methods: usually within three banking days.

Casino game types and what they pay back

Return to player (RTP) is the share of all stakes a game pays back over a very large number of rounds; the rest is the house edge. It says nothing about a single session, but it is the fairest way to compare games. Older versions of this site called it “the percentage of winnings”, which is not the same thing.

Game Typical return to player Notes
Video slots Mostly about 94% to 97% Many popular slots exist in several RTP versions and the casino chooses which to offer; check the game’s info screen
Progressive jackpot slots Often lower base RTP Part of every stake feeds the jackpot
Blackjack About 99.5% with basic strategy Depends on the rules: number of decks, dealer standing on soft 17, blackjack paying 3:2
European roulette 97.30% Single zero, house edge 2.70%
American roulette 94.74% Double zero, house edge 5.26%
Baccarat Banker 98.94%, Player 98.76% The Tie bet at 8:1 has a house edge above 14%
Video poker (Jacks or Better 9/6) 99.54% with perfect strategy Paytables vary; 8/5 versions pay less

Live dealer games stream real tables from studios run by suppliers such as Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live. The casinos we list have live casinos, but none uses Evolution, NetEnt or Pragmatic Play in its lobby, as far as we could verify; the live studios we could see are smaller ones such as Vivo, XPG, 7Mojos Live, Winfinity Live and Iconic21. Remember that live and table games do not count towards bonus wagering at any of them. For rules and strategy, see our guides to slots and blackjack, the live dealer casinos page and our gaming software hub, which covers studios such as Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Evolution and NetEnt (part of Evolution).

Customer support: what good looks like

Support is where a casino shows how it treats players once the deposit has gone in. Good support answers a specific question, such as “what is the monthly withdrawal limit for my account?”, in plain words and within minutes on live chat. It also confirms in writing anything that affects your money. Poor support pastes a generic reply, sends you back to the terms without naming the clause, or goes quiet when a withdrawal is pending. Before depositing anywhere new, ask one real question on live chat and judge the answer. Keep a copy of chats about bonuses and withdrawals; if a dispute reaches an ADR body, written evidence is what counts. Of the casinos we list, four say live chat runs 24/7 and all five publish separate support and complaints addresses, but Trixino does not publish its support hours and Seven Casino’s addresses still use a domain that has been deleted.

Online casino reviews by category

This page is the starting point. Each of the guides below narrows the field to one question and lists the casinos that answer it best:

  • Best online casinos: our ranked comparison with a mini review of every listed casino and a side-by-side terms table.
  • All casino reviews: the full archive, including closed and blacklisted brands so you can check a name you have seen elsewhere.
  • New casinos: recently launched sites, with the licence history to check before you trust a new brand.
  • Safe casinos: how to judge security, licensing and complaint handling.
  • Mobile-friendly casinos: casinos that work well in a phone browser; we found no app at any casino on our list.
  • Live dealer casinos: real tables streamed from studios.
  • High roller bonuses: offers for bigger deposits and what the withdrawal caps mean at that level.

Checking a casino licence yourself in five minutes

You do not need to trust our table, or anyone else’s. A licence check takes a few minutes and uses only public registers.

  1. Find the licence details in the footer or the general terms: the regulator, the licence number and the name of the company that holds it.
  2. Open the regulator’s site directly by typing its address, rather than clicking the seal in the footer. Seals can be copied.
  3. Search the register by licence number or company name. For the MGA, the entry should show the status and the approved domains; for Curaçao, use the CGA register at cga.cw; for Anjouan, the register at anjouangaming.com lists every domain on each licence.
  4. Match the domain. The casino’s web address should appear under that licence. A valid licence for a different domain does not cover the site you are on.
  5. Check the enforcement pages of the regulators that publish them, such as the Kansspelautoriteit and Spelinspektionen, for the company name, not just the brand.

If any step fails, do not deposit. A casino that is genuinely licensed makes this check easy.

Red flags: when to walk away

Most bad experiences at online casinos are visible in advance. These are the warning signs we mark a casino down for, or remove it over:

  • No licence number, or a number that does not appear in the regulator’s register under the casino’s own domain.
  • Regulator action in a major market, such as a KSA fine or a Spelinspektionen ban against the operator or its group.
  • A licence close to expiry with no renewal on record.
  • Vague confiscation clauses that let the casino void winnings for “irregular play” without defining it.
  • Bonus maths that cannot work: very large match percentages paired with 50x wagering, short time limits and low caps on winnings.
  • Low withdrawal caps hidden in the general terms rather than shown in the cashier.
  • Frequent domain changes and mirror sites, often a sign the operator is dodging blocks or bans.
  • Self-exclusion that does not work: complaints about accounts reopened or deposits taken after a player excluded themselves.
  • Documents requested by email or messaging apps instead of a secure upload in your account.

Spot two or more of these at the same casino and it is time to walk away, whatever the bonus says.

We hold our own list to the same test, and it does not pass cleanly. Rivo Casino, Wildzy and Seven Casino show no licence number on their own sites; Smash Casino’s operator and Wildzy’s licence holder are under Swedish ban orders; Wildzy’s licence runs out on 27 December 2026; all five have broad confiscation clauses and withdrawal caps set in their general terms; and Smash Casino and Seven Casino run mirror domains that are not on the licence register. That is why their ratings sit between 2.5 and 3.0 out of 5. Read the full review before you deposit at any of them.

Casinos we no longer recommend

Our list changes when the facts change, and we would rather show fewer casinos than keep one we cannot stand behind. These are the main changes since the last version of this page:

  • The Slotz: taken off our lists because its Anjouan licence was due to expire on 17 October 2026. There will be no link to it until a renewal is on record.
  • AllSpins and Wintopia: moved out of the ranked list. Both are run by Fortuna Games N.V. under a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence, but we could not read their current terms and restricted-country lists on the operators’ own sites in October 2026, so we cannot confirm who they accept and on what terms. Their reviews stay online with that caveat.
  • Our previous ranked list: the casinos ranked on this page until 19 October 2026 are no longer listed. Their reviews stay online in our reviews archive.
  • Older listings: brands from earlier versions of this page that we could not verify as open, licensed and accepting international players have been removed rather than left in place. Casinos marked Closed in our archive are never linked.

Playing from a regulated country

Online gambling law is national, and the list above is not a substitute for a local licence. If your country licenses casinos itself, use a casino it licenses: that is the only way to get local self-exclusion, local complaint routes and, in some countries, tax-free winnings.

  • United Kingdom: UKGC licence required; GAMSTOP covers all licensed sites; all five casinos on our list exclude UK residents.
  • Netherlands: KSA licence required; Cruks self-exclusion; all five casinos on our list exclude the Netherlands.
  • Germany: all five casinos on our list exclude players in Germany; OASIS is the self-exclusion system for licensed German operators.
  • Sweden: Spelinspektionen licence required; Spelpaus self-exclusion; winnings from casinos outside the EEA are taxed at 30% of net winnings per operator and year. All five casinos on our list name Sweden as restricted in their main terms. See casinos without a Swedish licence.
  • Denmark: Spillemyndigheden licence required; ROFUS self-exclusion. See casinos without a Danish licence.
  • United States: real-money online casinos are legal only in a small number of states, and only state-licensed operators may serve players there. None of the casinos on our list accepts US players.

How to choose an online casino in six steps

  1. Check the licence number in the regulator’s register, not just the logo in the footer.
  2. Confirm your country is accepted. Registering from an excluded country can void your winnings.
  3. Read the bonus terms before you opt in: multiple and base, time limit, maximum bet and cap on winnings. You can always play without a bonus.
  4. Look at the withdrawal limits and the documents you will need, and upload them early.
  5. Test support with a specific question, for example about withdrawal caps, before you deposit.
  6. Set your limits: a deposit limit and a session reminder before the first deposit.

How we keep these reviews current

Casino terms change often, sometimes weekly. We recheck the licence status and the welcome offer of every listed casino each time we update this page, and the “Updated” date at the top shows the last time that happened. A casino comes off the list when its licence lapses or is about to without a renewal, when a regulator bans it or its group from a market we write for, or when we can no longer confirm from its own pages that it is open and what it offers. Fines and other regulator action against the operator or its group lower its licence mark. Reviews of removed casinos stay online with a clear status, because players search for those names and deserve an answer.

Every page names its author and the colleague who reviewed it, and lists the sources used: regulator registers, operator terms and official guidance. If you spot an error, or a casino changes its terms before we do, tell us through the contact page and we will check it against the operator’s current terms.

Safer gambling tools and helplines by country

Gambling should be entertainment you can afford, not a way to make money. Trixino, Rivo Casino and Wildzy list deposit, bet, loss and session limits, a cool-down and self-exclusion; at Smash Casino and Seven Casino we could only confirm self-exclusion and account closure. At all five, self-exclusion is requested by email, and none mentions a reality check. Self-exclusion at an offshore casino covers that site (and sometimes its sister sites) only. National schemes such as GAMSTOP, Cruks, Spelpaus and ROFUS cover licensed operators in those countries, not offshore ones.

Frequently asked questions

Which online casino reviews can I trust?

Trust reviews that show their working: the licence number and regulator, the exact bonus terms, withdrawal limits and the date the terms were checked. Be wary of sites that never mark a casino down, never remove one, or claim test deposits they cannot show. Our reviews are desk research of operator terms and regulator registers, and we say so.

How does 99casinos rate online casinos?

Every casino gets a rating from 1 to 5 built from six weighted criteria, published on our how we rate casinos page: licence for your country 30%, payments and withdrawals 20%, bonus terms 15%, games 15%, player protection 10%, and support and usability 10%. The table on this page shows the marks behind each listed casino’s rating.

Are the casinos on this page available in the UK?

No. None of the casinos in our list holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, and only UKGC licensees may offer gambling to people in Great Britain. UK residents should use a UKGC-licensed casino, which is also covered by GAMSTOP self-exclusion.

What is a wagering requirement?

It is the amount you must bet before bonus money, and sometimes your deposit, can be withdrawn. At 35x deposit plus bonus, a EUR 100 deposit with a EUR 100 bonus means EUR 7,000 in bets. UKGC licensees may not set wagering above 10x since 19 January 2026.

Which online casinos pay out fastest?

Speed depends on verification and the payment method more than the brand. The casinos we currently list say withdrawals are usually processed within three banking days, allow one request per 24 hours and cap payouts at EUR 1,000 a day, so they are not fast-payout casinos. Crypto is usually quickest after approval at casinos that support it.

How do I complain about an online casino?

Complain to the casino in writing first and keep copies. If that fails, use the dispute route of its regulator: an approved ADR body for UKGC and MGA casinos, a CGA-certified ADR body for Curaçao, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission’s own dispute officer for KGC permit holders, or, for Anjouan casinos such as all five on our list, a complaint through the licence seal followed by an operator-paid ADR body.

Is a Malta (MGA) licence better than a Curacao licence?

In practice, yes. The MGA is an EU regulator that requires approved alternative dispute resolution and supervises game suppliers, while Curaçao’s CGA has licensed operators directly only since the LOK law took effect on 24 December 2024 and does not mediate individual disputes. Neither licence makes a casino legal in the UK, the Netherlands or Sweden.

Do online casinos accept players from the United States?

None of the casinos on our list accepts US players. Real-money online casinos are legal only in a handful of US states, and only operators licensed by those states may serve players there.

No. India’s Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 bans offering, advertising and processing payments for online money games across India, and casino games played for money fall under that ban. None of the casinos we review holds an Indian licence; our legal online casinos guide sets out the rules country by country.

Understand the bonus before accepting it

A wagering requirement says how much you must stake before bonus money can be withdrawn. The same multiple costs very different amounts depending on what it applies to.

  • Bonus only or deposit + bonus: the second doubles the stake needed on a 100% match.
  • Game contribution: slots often count 100%, table games far less or nothing.
  • Maximum stake, expiry and winnings caps can void the bonus if you miss them.

How welcome bonuses work

Worked example · not a live offer

Total to wager
3,500
Bets at your stake
3,500
Expected cost of wagering
140

Expected cost = total wagered × (100% − RTP). It is an average over many sessions; any single session can lose more. Amounts are in your account currency.

How a review earns its score

  1. Check market eligibilityIs the casino allowed to take players from your country? If not, it is not recommended there, whatever the bonus.
  2. Inspect licence recordsWe look the operator up in the regulator's public register under the company named on the site.
  3. Review commercial termsWagering, game contribution, maximum stake, expiry, withdrawal limits and fees.
  4. Document the findingsMarks per criterion, the weighted rating and the sources we used, dated on the page.
