Review Methodology

Example walkthrough

  • For Legenddrop we started with the MGA licence check, then opened a test account to screenshot the deposit and withdrawal flow, cross-checked the bonus wording against the actual confirmation email, and reviewed support response time across live chat and email.

    The notes from that review (minus personal data) are available on request and give a sense of the depth we aim for: 14 pages of pure observation, 8 pages of comparison with four peers, 2 pages of final notes. The published review condenses this into about 2,500 words.

Limitations

  • No review captures every edge case. We cannot test every payment method or every bonus activation; we document what we tested and leave the rest to reader feedback.

    Our test accounts are opened from a residential IP address in Malta. We can only test the geo-fenced experience of a Maltese player; readers in other regulated markets may see different bonus amounts, different payment methods and different support languages.

Criteria

  • Our scoring rests on seven pillars: licence, bonus fairness, game library, payment speed, mobile experience, support quality and responsible-gaming tools. Each pillar is weighted and scored out of 10.

    Within each pillar we score 10 to 15 specific sub-items (for example, bonus fairness is scored on wagering requirement, maximum bet during wagering, excluded games, time limit and transparency of the T&Cs). The sub-scores are published in the appendix of every full review.

Scoring

  • The final rating is a weighted average with licence counting double. Scores below 6 trigger a public re-review within three months; scores above 8 are spot-checked quarterly.

    A score is not a verdict: a brand with 7.4 may be the right fit for a casual player and a bad fit for a high-roller. The review text explains who the brand suits and the comparison table shows how it compares with peers on each pillar.
