How We Test Online Casinos
Every casino on SRQ Reviews has been tested with real deposits, real play, and real withdrawals. We don’t rely on press releases or operator-provided data. Here’s what our review process looks like:
1. Real Money Deposits
Jack and Penny each create accounts, deposit their own funds (typically via Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency), and play through the welcome bonus terms. This is the only way to know whether a bonus is actually worth claiming or just marketing noise.
2. Bonus Rollover Testing
We calculate the effective value of every welcome offer. A 500% match with 50x rollover can be worth less than a 100% match with 10x rollover. We play through the terms ourselves and report how long it realistically takes to clear the wagering requirement on games you’d actually want to play.
3. Withdrawal Timing
This is where most reviews fall short. We time every withdrawal from the moment we submit the request to the moment funds hit our wallet. Crypto payout speeds are recorded in minutes, not estimated ranges. If a casino claims “instant withdrawals” but takes 6 hours, we report that.
4. Game & Software Quality
We check provider variety, RTP transparency, live dealer stream quality, mobile load times, and whether the games you see advertised are actually available for US players. A casino with 5,000 games that restricts half of them by geo is not a 5,000-game casino.
5. Ongoing Monitoring
Our guides are updated monthly. Bonus terms change, casinos add or remove payment methods, and payout speeds fluctuate. We re-test periodically and update our ratings accordingly. If a casino that earned a 9.5 six months ago drops to an 8.0 experience today, we adjust the score.
Editorial Independence
SRQ Reviews earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with the casinos we review. When you click a link and create an account, we may receive a commission. This does not influence our ratings or rankings. Casinos cannot pay for a higher position, and we have declined partnerships with operators that didn’t meet our standards. Our reputation depends on honest assessments — that’s worth more than any single commission.
