Unbiased Gambling Site Ratings and Reviews

Independent Reviews From Online Gambling Experts
Gambling site reviews are an excellent way to find out everything you need to know about a site you are considering joining. There are so many factors you need to know to determine if it is the right site for you. You could spend hours searching through the site to learn about their bonuses, banking methods, casino games, betting options, and mobile app. But even if you spend all that time, you still wouldn’t know everything about the site. There is nothing worse than joining a site, only to find out it has a reputation for delaying payments or unhelpful customer service. It is much easier to avoid that experience when you know what to expect before you ever sign up for the site. That is where our reviews come in. They offer first-hand insight into how the site operates, how helpful the customer service is, and how quickly you will be able to get your payouts. Of course, there are dozens of betting and casino review websites. But how do you know which ones you can trust? We can’t tell you much about how other companies operate, but we know from experience there are a lot of unhelpful reviews out there. We read dozens of reviews that were nothing more than advertisements. They only highlighted the positives, and only told us basic information that we could find out by visiting the site itself. The worst reviews we found included outdated information that wasn’t even true anymore. After dozens of disappointing experiences, we decided to create different kinds of reviews on GamblingSites.com. Our primary goal is to create helpful reviews that include the kind of first-hand experience you can only get by testing the site yourself. The most important thing you need to know is that we never accept payments or bribes to push certain recommendations or write positive reviews. We test the sites ourselves before creating each review, and our reviews include both the positives and negatives of each site we try.

How We Review Gambling Sites

All of the reviews you will find on GamblingSites.com are specifically designed to give you an honest understanding of the site we’re reviewing. In order to do that, we have an extensive process we go through to find out as much as possible about the site. Here are some of the steps we go through as we complete the review process.
  • Step 1: Initial Research – Before we dive into the site itself, we do some research on its background. The information we are looking for includes who licenses the site, what company owns it, and are there any other sites it is connected to. We also look for customer reviews and any scam allegations or scandals that the company has been involved in. This research takes time, but we believe it is worthwhile to find this kind of information.
  • Step 2: Open an Account – Many online gambling sites have some information on their landing page, but the options change once you create an account and log in. We want to give you first hand knowledge of what you will experience, so we always start our review by creating an account.
  • Step 3: Check Key Details – Once we are logged in, it is time to gather information on bonuses, banking, gambling options, site navigation and more. We also read through the terms and conditions to see how fair the site’s policies are.
  • Step 4: Test the Site – Now it is time to try out the site for ourselves. We go through the entire process of making a deposit, claiming a bonus, gambling, and requesting a withdrawal. To top it off, we even contact customer support. All of this testing helps us provide you with personal accounts of our experiences.
  • Step 5: Rank and Review the Site – The final step in our review process is to put all this information together. We assign the site a rating using our signature B.E.S.T rating system, and write a full-length review detailing all of our experiences.

The fact that we actually go through the process of testing every aspect of the site is what really makes our reviews stand out. We can explain if there are any unexpected steps during the deposit process, if hidden fees come up when we make a withdrawal, and how long it took for us to get our payouts or a response from customer service. We can also offer you first-hand experience with the actual casino games and betting features. Do the games have good graphics? Are the betting limits reasonable? Will the site slow down when I access it from my phone? These are all questions we can answer confidently, thanks to our experience with actually using the site. It is important to note that the results of our gambling do not impact our reviews. For example, we won’t give the site a negative review if we happened to lose, or make it sound more positive than it is just because we were lucky enough to win. The only time we consider those results is if we have reason to believe the results are unfair or rigged in some way. Completing these steps gives us enough information to write about a site in comprehensive detail. The process never really stops, though, as we’re constantly revisiting sites to see if anything’s changed. We make updates to our reviews whenever necessary, which ensures that they’re always providing an accurate picture.

Review Contents

There are two primary goals we try to achieve with our reviews. The first is to make sure you know all the relevant facts about a site and what they have to offer. The second is to give you our opinion on how good a site is. Pretty much everything we include is therefore related to one or both of these points. Of course, each of our reviews will be a little different depending on what the site offers and our opinions on the overall experience. But all of our reviews cover the most important information you need to know. First, we will offer a basic introduction to the site. The top portion of every review will highlight details like contact information, software providers, and licensing. We also give you a brief overview of the major pros and cons and include screenshots we took during our exploration of the site. After that, we dive into our review by focusing on the things that matter most to gamblers. The first section of the page will go over the main welcome bonus(es) that the site offers and the relevant terms and conditions. We will also highlight any additional bonuses the site offers and explain what we think about their bonuses in comparison to similar sites.
Online Gambling Reviews
The next topic that we know is essential for all gamblers is banking. We will cover all of the deposit and withdrawal methods available on the site, along with information on transaction limits and fees. Then we dive into the specific gambling options available on the site. The features and criteria we look for depends on the type of gambling the site offers. Here is an overview of some of the things we cover in this section of our reviews.
  • Casino – Our casino reviews cover how many games you can find in each section of the casino, including slots, table games, live dealer, and specialty games. We also highlight a few of our favorite games, mention the software providers, and offer insights on how the casino is organized.
  • Sports Betting – If the site offers sports betting options, we will explore the overall quality of the betting platform. We will highlight some of the sports and leagues we notice that are or are not included, and point out special features that make the sportsbook stand out.
  • Poker – If the gambling site includes online poker, we will highlight some of the notable tournaments and explain what types of cash games the site offers. We also go over how much traffic to expect on the network and highlight features like zone poker or anonymous tables.
  • Other Forms of Gambling – The three categories listed above cover the main gambling options. But some sites also include daily fantasy sports, esports, bingo, skill games, or horse race betting. We will highlight these throughout the review when it makes sense.
The more you explore our reviews, the more you will find that we cater our reviews to the options available on each site. For example, some online sportsbooks have a separate racebook for horse race betting, while others just cover the main races with the rest of the other sports. We will adjust the review format so that it makes the most sense for that site. It would be easy to stop our reviews at that point because we will have covered the most important information. But we don’t want to take the easy way out. So, we keep going. We will explain how to access the site on your mobile devices, and how well the mobile options work. After that, we will explain how you can contact customer service and tell you about our first-hand experiences with the site’s representatives. By this point, you will have a solid understanding of what to expect when you visit this particular site. But how do you know how this site compares to some of the other top sites in your area? We’ve got that covered too. The next section of our reviews will highlight the features of this site compared to several of its competitors. These features include the bonus, the gambling options, and the minimum deposit amounts. Finally, we wrap all of this up by offering our overall opinions of the site and answering a few of the most common questions about the site. As you can see, our gambling site reviews go far beyond what most review sites offer. You won’t have to search for other reviews because we leave no stone unturned. Here are some of our most popular reviews if you are ready to start exploring.

The Review Team

We firmly believe in the importance of making our reviews factually accurate. We therefore do our best to make sure that’s the case. However, the REAL value of our reviews is not in the facts that we provide. It’s in the opinion and insight that our team has to offer. Reading a gambling site review is supposed to help you understand how good a site is, and whether it’s right for you. Facts alone are simply not enough not for this, which is why we make sure our reviews offer so much more. And that’s only possible because we have such a good team.
Our team of reviewers are genuine experts in online gambling. They have decades of experience between them.
There would be very little point in us providing super detailed reviews that were written by people with limited knowledge about gambling online. They wouldn’t really benefit you at all. The people writing our reviews REALLY know their stuff, though, so their opinions are actually worth something. If they say that they like a site, you can be pretty sure that you will too. And of course, we only recommend sites that we are comfortable using ourselves, so you can trust that our recommendations are legit.

Our Review Policy

We talked earlier about how a lot of gambling site reviews are provided with the sole intention of making a few bucks. Do you know HOW the people writing these reviews make their money? They basically get paid by gambling sites to write positively and only say good things. In our opinion, this makes a complete mockery of providing a review in the first place. If it’s been paid for, then it’s clearly not independent or unbiased. We think that this kind of practice is bad for the online gambling industry as a whole, and most definitely bad for the customer. That’s why we have a very clear policy regarding our own reviews.
We NEVER accept payment for favorable reviews.
Do we write positive things in our reviews? Of course! Most of our reviews have at least some positive points to mention, and a few of them are almost entirely positive. That is because we only recommend sites we believe are worth recommending. The difference is that we write good reviews when sites actually DESERVE them. And we always mention the negative points, too. Our reviews are based 100% on our own opinions. There are no outside influences at all, so we can legitimately claim to be independent and unbiased.

Choosing the Right Gambling Site

Reading our reviews will undoubtedly help you to decide which gambling site(s) to join. However, it’s important to remember that they are largely based on our own personal opinion. Even if we give a site a near flawless review, there’s no guarantee that it’s actually right for YOU. Not everyone has the same requirements from a gambling site. Some aspects of a site might be especially important to you, but they might be almost irrelevant to someone else. This is why it’s difficult for us to tell you exactly which sites to join. We can provide you with the information you need to make a decision, but the decision ultimately has to be made by you. That is why we take our recommendations a step further. After we have compiled all sorts of information during the review process, we also create rankings where highlight specific sites that stand out in different areas. You can use our rankings to help you find the site that matches your specific preferences. For example, if you are looking for an online casino that allows you to collect your winnings as soon as possible, check out our fast payout casinos recommendations. If you prefer a sports betting site that offers the best bonuses, check out our sports betting bonuses rankings. If you are looking for more guidance on which questions you should ask yourself and which sites we recommend for various categories, check out our top gambling sites page. It has all of our ranking categories and many other resources that will help in your search.

Here are some of the resources we recommend looking through before you start gambling online.
