How Oliver tests a casino

  1. We record each casino’s licence and who issued it. The licence and the body that issued it — a provincial regulator, or an offshore body such as Curaçao or Kahnawake — checked against that body’s own record, not the badge in the footer.
  2. We check whether it is actually open, not just registered. Holding a registration and taking players are different things, and the register says which one an operator is doing.
  3. We read the terms, not the banner. Wagering multipliers, what they apply to, minimum deposits and withdrawal windows come from the operator’s published terms.
  4. Every fact carries the date we checked it. A verified fact with no date is a fact that was true at some unknown point in the past.
