Why Trust FreeBonus.co

The casino review industry has a credibility problem. Many sites make more money when they recommend bad casinos. FreeBonus.co is built to avoid that.

How We Make Money and How It Affects Ratings

FreeBonus.co earns affiliate commission from some operators. This is a conflict of interest, and we are open about it. Commission does not decide our rating. Ratings are an editorial judgement based on the published terms of each offer and the facts in our internal data sheet.

We describe each offer according to its published terms, and we say so when those terms are weak. Where an offer is overadvertised or its terms are poor, we record that in our review regardless of the commission involved.

Data and Terms, Not Hype

We do not claim to open accounts, deposit money, play through wagering or request withdrawals. Reviews are written from an internal affiliate data sheet maintained by the FreeBonus.co editorial team and from each operator's publicly published terms and conditions.

The data sheet records the following facts, and reviews are written from these:

• Bonus size
• Wagering requirements
• Minimum deposit
• Maximum bet
• Licence
• Operator
• Payout windows
• Payment methods
• Blocked countries

Facts are re-checked against the sheet when it is updated. Each review states the sheet-backed facts and tells readers to check the current terms on the operator's site before signing up, because terms can change.

Our 5-Point Scoring System

Our ratings are transparent and weighted. Every casino is scored on five factors, based on its published terms and the data in our sheet:

• Bonus Value (30%): Does the offer match what's advertised? Is the amount and free spin count realistic compared to competitors?
• Terms Fairness (25%): Are wagering requirements reasonable (we avoid 60x+)? Are game restrictions disclosed? Are max cashout caps transparent?
• Payout Windows (20%): What payout window does the operator publish? Do crypto withdrawals have shorter published windows than cards?
• Customer Support (15%): What support channels and hours are published? Are the stated channels available 24/7?
• Licensing and Safety (10%): Is the casino regulated in a recognized jurisdiction? Do they publish audit reports?

This breakdown means you can weight factors yourself. If payout windows matter more to you, you see them. If you prioritize licensing, the score reflects that.

What Stays Off Our List

We have hard rules that exclude casinos from our ranking:

• Wagering requirements above 60x the deposit and bonus combined
• Max cashout caps below $100 on welcome bonuses
• No-deposit bonuses whose published terms make withdrawal impractical
• Casinos operating without current, verifiable licensing
• Casinos whose published licensing does not support the markets they target

A higher commission does not override these rules. If the published terms are poor, the casino stays off our list.

Conflict of Interest Transparency

We earn money from referrals. This is a conflict of interest by definition. We manage it by: not tying our income to your score, publishing our methodology so you can audit it, and updating ratings when published terms change so you always see current data.

We aim to describe offers fairly and accurately, so you can see what the terms actually say before you decide.
