The change log

Every change to the ranking, the scores and the methodology in one place: additions, removals, score corrections and the reason for every change.

Updated: August 2026 · latest cycle18+

Every change concerning the ranking, the scores or the scoring methodology reaches this page. When a casino's score moves up or down, when someone drops out of the table or is added, an entry appears in the log together with the date and the reason.

The log is public for a simple reason: a comparison site's assessment is worth exactly as much as can be verified afterwards. Including when a change is uncomfortable for us.

Kinds of entry

What kinds of entry are in the log

All entries fall into four kinds. The kind says how big a change took place in the ranking and what evidence it required.

Addition

A casino reaches the ranking only after an observation period and a first withdrawal test made with our own money. The entry states which tests were done and with what score the casino entered.

Removal

A casino disappears from the table when withdrawals drag, support goes silent or the bonus's small print changes retroactively. The entry remains even when the casino fixes the matter later.

A score correction

A new measurement or a confirmed complaint can move a score in either direction. The entry states which part of the score changed and on what basis.

A methodology update

When the weightings, the measurement rules or the scoring boundaries change, the methodology version rises and the whole ranking is recalculated under the new rule.

The anatomy of the log

How to read a single entry

01The date

An entry's date is the day the change took effect in the ranking — not the day we noticed something. The verification time in between is stated in the entry's text.

02The heading

In one sentence, what changed: who was added, who was removed, which score moved or which part of the methodology was updated.

03The reason

Behind every score change is a specific observation — a measured withdrawal speed, a changed wagering requirement or KYC threshold, a confirmed complaint or new licence information. We do not publish an entry without a reason.

04The impact

At the end of the entry is what the change did to the ranking: whether a place moved, only some sub-score changed or the casino disappeared from the list.

The process

How a change reaches the log

No score moves on a single observation. Both our own measurement and a complaint from a reader go the same route.

1An observation

The signal comes either from a regular measurement cycle, from the complaints inbox or from the casino's own notification, for example a changed wagering requirement.

2Verification

We confirm the observation through at least two independent pieces of evidence: a new withdrawal attempt, an archived version of the terms or correspondence with support.

3A decision

The editorial team decides whether a single sub-score, the overall score or the place in the ranking changes. In a borderline case the casino stays in the table but the observation is recorded.

4An entry

The change takes effect in the ranking and gets a log entry the same day, with the reason and the impact. We do not rewrite an old entry afterwards.

An entry that started from a complaint describes the case in general terms — we do not publish the player's name, account number or correspondence.

The rules

What this log promises

These rules apply to every entry, regardless of whether the change is favourable to the casino or not.

An old entry stays — we do not delete it or quietly rewrite it
A score does not change without a published reason
A commission or a cooperation is never the reason for an entry
A removed casino's history stays visible even when it later returns to the table
If the error was ours, the correction gets an entry of its own

Where to find the background to the entries

Gambling is not a way to earn money.

Foreign casinos are not connected to the Estonian self-exclusion register HAMPI — restrictions set there do not apply here automatically. Set deposit and time limits before you start playing. Free help and counselling: 15410. 18+. Read more: responsible gambling.

The cycle

What happens during each cycle

The change log is filled to one fixed rhythm. The weighting shows how large a share of a cycle's working time each step takes.

The log

How the log works

1. Score changes — 40%. Every score change goes into the log with a reason; a change without a reason is not a change but an error.

01Score changes40%

Every score change goes into the log with a reason; a change without a reason is not a change but an error.

02Removals30%

Dropping out of the ranking is recorded permanently, together with a description of the case.

03Corrections20%

A wrong number is corrected within 48 hours of being reported and the correction is noted here.

04New measurements10%

At the end of every cycle a line is added even when no score changed.

The log has 9 entries. Older entries remain even when a casino is no longer in the ranking.

2026–26

The first year

The site opened in April 2026. All the entries below come from published test cycles and handled complaints — not from casinos' press releases.

20261 August
The cycle1 August

The August cycle published

Every casino on the list got new withdrawal, KYC and bonus measurements. The order of the ranking was recalculated from the measurements.

Why it matters: every cycle is a full retest, not a correction of individual rows — an old number does not stay standing in the table.
202618 July
A score change18 July

A score change after a complaint

Handling a complaint revealed that a withdrawal stood for five days without justification. The money was paid out, but the delay is reflected in the score.

Why it matters: paid ≠ problem-free. A delay without an explanation is a minus in its own right, even when the money eventually arrives.
20265 July
The cycle5 July

The July cycle published

New measurements for the whole list and KYC thresholds rechecked at three casinos.

Why it matters: the KYC threshold is a number set by the casino itself and changes quietly — it has to be re-measured, not copied from the terms.
202621 June
Removed21 June

A casino removed from the ranking

A bonus win was voided with a rule added retroactively. The evidence was archived, the casino gave no explanation.

Why it matters: changing the terms retroactively is grounds for dropping out of our list, even in the case of a single incident.
20269 June
Added9 June

A new casino on the list

Passed a three-month observation period with three successful withdrawals and entered the ranking.

Why it matters: no casino reaches the table on the first attempt — the observation period is three months.
202628 May
Removed28 May

A casino removed for slowness

A withdrawal took six days and support did not reply. The case is recorded in the failures section.

Why it matters: a removal stays in the log permanently — disappearing from the list does not erase the reason.
202612 May
The process12 May

The complaints process made public

Resolved cases got a public table and the complaints inbox was opened to all readers.

Why it matters: a complaint nobody sees affects nothing. A public table makes score changes verifiable.
202628 April
The process28 April

The glossary and the calculators made public

The terms and the wagering calculator went live, so that the small print can be recalculated yourself.

Why it matters: a bonus's price does not have to be taken on trust — it can be worked out yourself from two numbers.
20265 April
The process5 April

The site public

The first ranking was published together with methodology version 1.0.

Why it matters: the methodology is versioned, so a later score can be compared with the rules that applied then.
