How we test and rank
Every casino we list is scored on five weighted areas, re-checked on a rolling basis so the rankings reflect how sites behave now, not when we first reviewed them:
- Bonuses & wagering (30%) — value you can realistically withdraw, weighting the playthrough as heavily as the headline.
- Payout speed & banking (25%) — we time real withdrawals; crypto sites that pay in hours rank highest.
- Game range & software (20%) — library depth and the studios behind the games.
- Security & licensing (15%) — encryption, two-factor login, a verifiable offshore licence, payment record.
- Mobile experience (10%) — tested on a real handset.
Tested by real people
We register real accounts, deposit, play and request withdrawals to confirm a site accepts New York players, honours its welcome offer and pays out. A site that fails to pay, hides terms or blocks NY players is dropped — regardless of its commission.
Affiliate disclosure
We operate as an affiliate: when you sign up with an operator through a link on this site we may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you. This never affects our rankings, ratings or which sites we list — those are decided by the testing process described on this page. We only feature operators that accept New York players and clear our checks.
Accuracy & corrections
Bonus terms and laws change. If you spot something out of date, email the address on our contact page and we'll correct it. Nothing here is legal, financial or gambling advice; play within your means.
