How we rank new casinos

In short

  1. Inputs

    Licence, bonus terms, games and studios, payment methods, country access and user signals.

  2. System

    Fixed rules combine the inputs; no single factor decides a place.

  3. Market

    Casinos that do not accept Zambia are left out of Zambian rankings.

  4. Updates

    Scores change when verified facts change.

So what

What it means for you

  • A high place is not a guarantee

    A new casino can rank well on its terms and offer and still have no payout record. Test a small withdrawal.

  • Rankings differ by page

    A slots page and a live casino page weight different facts, so the same casino can sit in different places.

How each area is reviewed is set out on how we review.

Our ranking system

Our ranking system applies the same rules to every casino and every market across more than 70 CasinoRank sites. It reads the reviewers' scores, weighs them together and filters by market access, so a Zambian page only shows casinos that accept Zambia. No position is set by hand.

When we reassess a casino

  • Licence changes or regulatory action.
  • Payment problems, including with mobile money or crypto withdrawals.
  • Unclear or changed terms.
  • Verified risks to player safety.

Ratings

Each casino gets a score out of 10 from the review. A higher score reflects stronger licensing, clearer terms and better payment options for the market; a low score flags weaknesses in reliability, clarity or player safeguards.

Commission

We earn commission when visitors register at some casinos through our links. Commission does not change a review score or a ranking rule, and no casino can buy a position. Partnerships can bring us faster notice of changes, which we verify before publishing.

Ranking: questions

Do casinos pay for higher positions?

No. Positions come from review scores and fixed rules.

Why is a casino missing from the Zambia ranking?

It does not accept Zambia in our data, or it is not new enough for a new-casino list.

How often do rankings change?

Whenever a verified fact changes, such as a licence, terms or payment methods.

What counts as new?

A casino founded this year or in the two years before.
