Understanding Casino Terms and How We Score Them
What GambleGrade does, which casinos we rate, and the rules that apply when you use this site - explained clearly without the legal jargon.
What This Platform Does
GambleGrade rates online casinos, bonuses, and payment methods across 37 markets using a published formula. I built it to show Dominican Republic players what the terms actually say, cutting past the marketing.
I don't run casinos, handle money, or hold player accounts. Everything here is informational only.

How Ratings Stay Independent
Scores come from a formula. The formula doesn't negotiate.
No casino can buy a better rating. This is non-negotiable:
Ranking order is never for sale.
Money doesn't move the needle on a score.
If I find a problem, it stays published.
Bad terms don't disappear because someone asks.
When a casino hides max cashout traps, dormancy fees, slow withdrawals, or vague bonus rules, the score reflects it.
I grade across six pillars:
Trust and licensing validity
Whether bonus terms are actually fair
How fast withdrawals actually clear
Which payment methods work reliably
Mobile and site usability
What players say in practice
About Affiliate Links
When someone signs up through a link on this site, I may earn a commission.
That commission doesn't touch the rating. Here's why that matters:
Scores don't move because someone pays me.
Negative findings stay public.
No casino gets special treatment.
The rating system works the same way whether I earn money from a signup or not.
Data Quality & Your Responsibility
Information comes from official casino sites, automated data pulls, and manual checks.
Casinos change their terms, bonuses, and payment options all the time. The moment it changes on their site, my copy may be out of step.
Before you register or deposit - check the casino's site directly. Don't rely on cached information anywhere.
Found something wrong? Email info@gamblegrade.com with details. I read every report and verify it before updating anything.
This Is Not Financial Guidance
Nothing on this platform is gambling advice, financial recommendation, or a promise of returns.
I don't predict wins. I don't encourage anyone to play. I don't offer financial guidance.
Confirm that online gambling is legal where you are before you join a casino.
What I Don't Cover
GambleGrade is not liable for lost money, bonus disputes, locked accounts, slow payouts, or disagreements between you and a casino.
Resolve those issues directly with the operator.
Reporting a Problem
