About The Stake Ledger

We publish reviews of online casino operators for readers who want the terms explained plainly before they deposit. We are an affiliate publisher — here's exactly what that means and how we keep it from shaping what we write.

How we review

Every review on this site is built from the operator's own published terms (bonus T&Cs, licence register entries, payment and KYC policy pages) cross-checked against independent third-party reporting where it's available. We do not present synthetic or invented personal play sessions as first-hand testing. Where our sources disagree on a figure — a bonus cap, a wagering requirement, a game count — we say so and point you to check the live terms yourself, rather than quoting whichever number sounds best.

Ratings reflect: transparency of terms, licence tier, reported payout speed, and breadth of responsible-gambling tooling. They do not reflect how much commission an operator pays us.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and register with an operator, we may receive a commission from that operator. This costs you nothing extra, and it does not change the odds, terms, or bonus you're offered. It funds this site.

We do not use hidden redirects, cloaked canonical tags, or doorway pages to disguise what this site is or hide it from search engines — what you see in your browser is what search engines and reviewers see too.

Cookies

We use essential cookies required for the site to function, and basic analytics cookies to understand aggregate traffic patterns. We don't use this data to individually profile visitors for gambling-specific ad retargeting.

Country availability

Casino operators reviewed on this site are not licensed or legally available everywhere. We flag known exclusions where we're aware of them, but availability changes and local law varies — always verify directly with the operator and your local regulator before registering. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
