Where the statements come from
Three sources, no more. First, the public registers of the Curaçao Gaming Authority and the Anjouan Gaming Board — that is where number, status, company and, where present, issue and expiry dates come from. Second, the operators' own terms of business — that is where verification clauses, thresholds and ceilings come from, each with a clause number where one exists. Third, Google's keyword data for Switzerland — that is where every search volume on this site comes from.
What does not serve as a source: other comparisons. A figure that travels from one comparison site to the next does not get any truer, only more frequent.
What is deliberately missing
There are no figures on this site for how long a withdrawal takes, because nobody here has measured one. There are no return-to-player figures without a source you can open. There are no accounts of playing, because nobody here has played with their own money. There are no bonuses without a deposit and no bonus codes whose validity nobody has checked.
And there is nothing about law, taxes or official requirements. This comparison reads registers and contract texts; that is something other than legal advice, and the line between the two is not blurred here.
Why there are no invented authors here
It has become usual to fit comparisons of this kind with an author profile: a photograph, a first name, «twelve years in the industry». In most cases that person does not exist. So none stands on this site — neither an invented one nor a name meant to lend trust that the texts themselves have to earn.
What takes its place is a checkable origin for every statement. Beside every figure stands where it came from; beside every clause the clause number, where one exists; beside every register entry the reading date, or the note that none was recorded. That is less personal than a portrait and considerably more useful: you can check it without having to believe anybody.
Why the order cannot be bought
The only kind of independence a site like this can credibly offer is not a claim about itself but a property of its arithmetic: it can be recomputed. The calculation knows five inputs — a number in a register, a status, a company name, a count of settlement units, and the wording of a verification clause. None of the five is in the gift of an operator, and none of them can be moved by anything other than the register and the terms themselves.
That is worth stating plainly, because the opposite is so easy to arrange. A grade with a decimal place can be nudged in either direction without anyone noticing, precisely because nobody can recompute it. A row built out of a register number, a status, a company and a clause number cannot: look the values up and you get the same order, or you have found a mistake that can be named at a particular input in a particular row. That is the whole guarantee this page offers, and it is the only one it can keep.
How a row of this ranking comes about
The same procedure runs for each of the twelve entries. First, the licence statement in the operator's page footer is read — authority, number, company where given. Second, that statement is searched for in the register of the named issuer: at Curaçao by domain, at Anjouan by number. What stands there is taken over, even where it diverges from the printed statement — especially then. Third, the cashier is opened and the settlement units it carries are counted; where that does not succeed, «not read» stands instead of a figure. Fourth, the terms are searched for the verification clause, and where a clause number exists it is written down with it.
What does not appear in that procedure: an account, a deposit, a game. That is why nothing on this site says anything about withdrawal times, experiences with a support desk, or the handling of disputes. That boundary is uncomfortable, because exactly those statements sit most prominently in other comparisons — but it is the price of everything else here being evidenced.
Contact and corrections
Register entries change, terms are redrafted, terms of licence end. Anyone who finds a statement on this site that no longer holds may assume it held on the reading date given — and that a correction is welcome. Every statement on this site carries either a date or the note «not read».
Common questions
Is this site independent?
What is independent is the arithmetic: five inputs anyone can check, none of which an operator can influence. That is a property you can test, rather than a promise you have to take on trust.
Are there test reports here?
No. There are registers read and terms read. Where something was not read, the page says so expressly.
