SlotHow we score casinos
Most affiliate sites pull a rating out of thin air and rank whoever pays most. We don't. Here's the exact weighted model behind every SlotWhizz score — and our promise to tell you when a casino is bad, even one we'd earn from.
The weighted model
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Payout speed & reliability | Measured withdrawal times across methods; whether stated timeframes are actually met. | |
| Bonus fairness | Real wagering cost (via our Bonus Decoder), max-cashout caps, game weighting, and term clarity — not headline size. | |
| Licensing & safety | Regulator tier (UKGC/MGA rank highest), complaint history, fund segregation, fairness audits. | |
| Game range & quality | Library size, provider spread, live-dealer depth, RTP transparency. | |
| Fees & limits | Withdrawal fees, min/max limits, currency and crypto options. | |
| Support & UX | Live-chat responsiveness, mobile experience, account/KYC friction. |
Our affiliate promise
We earn a commission when you sign up through our links. That funds the site — but commission rates play zero part in scores or rankings. Order is set by the model above, full stop.
When we say "avoid"
Slow or denied payouts, predatory terms, or weak licensing get a casino marked down or flagged "avoid" — regardless of what they'd pay us. Trust is the product.
Freshness
Bonuses and terms change. Every review carries a "last verified" date, and our data spine is re-checked on a rolling basis. If something's out of date, the date tells you.
