Our transparent, community-driven ranking methodology
CasinoRankr uses a community-driven ranking system where real players determine casino positions through upvotes and downvotes. Unlike traditional review sites that may rank casinos based on advertising spend, our rankings reflect genuine player sentiment.
8,000+ votes from real players across 150+ casinos power our rankings.
We use a Bayesian-weighted rating system to calculate casino scores. This statistical approach solves a common problem: how do you fairly compare a casino with 500 votes to one with only 10?
Simple average ratings can be misleading. A casino with 5 upvotes and 0 downvotes (100% positive) isn't necessarily better than one with 450 upvotes and 50 downvotes (90% positive). The second casino has much more data supporting its rating.
Bayesian weighting adjusts for sample size, pulling ratings toward the average until enough votes accumulate to establish confidence. This prevents new casinos with few votes from unfairly outranking established ones.
Maintaining authentic rankings requires protecting against manipulation. We employ multiple layers of fraud prevention:
Advanced fingerprinting technology identifies unique devices, preventing multiple votes from the same user even across sessions or browsers.
Limits on voting frequency prevent automated bot attacks and suspicious voting patterns.
Algorithms monitor for suspicious voting patterns such as coordinated vote surges or unusual geographic distributions.
Our team investigates anomalies and can remove fraudulent votes or flag suspicious activity.
While community votes determine rankings, our editorial team ensures quality and accuracy:
Our editorial team employs a rigorous testing process when evaluating new casinos before they are listed on our platform:
We create test accounts to evaluate the signup process, identity verification procedures, and account security features. This helps us understand the user experience from start to finish.
We verify that welcome bonuses and promotional offers are accurately represented. We review wagering requirements, time limits, game restrictions, and claim processes to ensure transparency.
We assess the variety and quality of games, including slots, live dealer games, table games, and specialty offerings. We verify game providers, RTP information, and mobile compatibility.
We test support channels (live chat, email, phone) for responsiveness, knowledge, and helpfulness. We measure response times and evaluate the quality of assistance provided.
We verify regulatory licenses, confirm responsible gambling tools are available, check age verification processes, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and gaming standards.
We assess SSL encryption, payment security, privacy policies, data protection measures, and overall technical security to ensure player information is protected.
Note: While our editorial testing ensures baseline quality, the community voting system determines final rankings based on collective player experiences.
When players vote, they typically consider factors such as:
Variety, quality, and providers
Welcome offers and daily rewards
Withdrawal processing times
Interface, mobile, and design
Licensing and reputation
Responsiveness and help
Full transparency is essential. CasinoRankr earns revenue through affiliate marketing relationships with some of the casinos featured on our platform. When you click a casino link and register or make a deposit, we may receive a commission.
However, this creates an important conflict of interest that we address through our methodology:
We believe this community-first approach, combined with transparent disclosure, allows us to maintain editorial independence while generating revenue to support the platform.
We believe you deserve to understand exactly how rankings are determined:
No. Rankings are determined solely by community votes. While we have affiliate relationships with some casinos, this never influences their position in our rankings.
Rankings update in real-time as votes are cast. There's no delay between a vote and its impact on rankings.
Our Bayesian-weighted system considers both the ratio of positive votes and the total number of votes. A casino with 95% positive votes and 100 total votes will typically rank higher than one with 60% positive votes and 500 total votes.
We use device fingerprinting, rate limiting, pattern detection, and manual review to identify and remove fraudulent votes. Our system is designed to make vote manipulation difficult and detectable.
Votes are permanent to prevent manipulation. However, if your experience with a casino changes significantly, you can reach out to our team.
