CasinoDrop is an independent casino information site. We review online casinos, track live game data, test tools and write guides for players. We are not a casino. We do not run games and we do not take bets.
What we do
- Casino reviews and rankings. We sign up, deposit, play and withdraw, then score each site out of 10.
- Live trackers. We record real game rounds from public feeds, such as Crash on Stake, Shuffle and BC.Game, and Crazy Time.
- Provably fair verifier. A free tool that lets you check a game result yourself using the server seed, client seed and nonce.
- Calculators and simulators. Free tools for working out odds, house edge and long-run results before you risk money.
- Slot demos and data. RTP, volatility and max win for popular slots, plus free demo play where the provider allows it.
- Guides and news. Plain-English explainers and industry updates.
Our methodology
Every review follows the same steps, in the same order, for every casino. Here is the process.
1. We open a real account
We register like any other player, complete KYC where it is required and deposit our own money. We do not review a casino from its marketing pages alone.
2. We check the licence and the owner
We look up the licence number on the regulator’s register, note who operates the site and check whether the licence is still active. A casino with no verifiable licence does not get listed.
3. We read the terms before we play
We read the bonus terms and the withdrawal rules in full: wagering requirement, maximum bet while a bonus is active, game weighting, maximum cashout, withdrawal limits and dormant account fees. Unfair terms cost points, even when the headline offer looks big.
4. We test the games
We play slots, table games, live dealer and originals where they exist. We check which providers are available, whether RTP has been reduced, and whether the games load properly on mobile.
5. We time a real withdrawal
We request a cashout and time it from the moment we press the button to the moment the money arrives. The payout time shown on our reviews is a measured time from our own withdrawal, not a number copied from the casino’s help page.
6. We contact support
We message live chat and email with real questions, at different times of day, and record how long they take and whether the answer is useful.
7. We verify fairness where we can
On casinos that offer provably fair games, we verify results ourselves with our Provably Fair Verifier. For live game shows and crash games we log thousands of real rounds through our trackers and compare the outcomes with the published odds.
8. We collect player feedback
We read player complaints on forums, review sites and social media, and we take reports sent to us directly. A pattern of unpaid withdrawals or confiscated balances outweighs anything positive in our own testing.
9. We score, then we re-check
We turn what we found into a score out of 10 across five categories. See How We Rate for the exact weighting. We review each casino again at least every six months, and sooner if something changes, such as a licence being suspended or a bonus offer being pulled.
How we make money
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission from the casino. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes a rating or a position in our rankings. We do not sell rankings, reviews or scores. Full details are on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
What we will not do
- We will not list a casino that has no valid licence.
- We will not raise a score because a casino asks us to or offers to pay more.
- We will not promise winnings, systems or “guaranteed” strategies. No strategy beats the house edge.
- We will not hide a negative finding. If we get something wrong, we correct it and say so.
Play responsibly
Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. You must be 18 or over, or the legal gambling age where you live. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
If gambling stops being fun, free help is available: BeGambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy and GamStop (UK self-exclusion).
