How Ratings Work on CasinosLists

This page will shed some light on a very important aspect of our platform: our rating system. Because we value transparency, when it comes to rating and reviews, we let our users do the talking for us.

In this way we are reassured that you can make an informed decision based on other people’s hands-on experience.

What is the CasinosLists rating system?

On CasinosLists, the rating system was designed with the user in mind. 

The rating system is information provided by actual players about whether they are satisfied or not with a casino and the experience they’ve had with it.

The users can leave ratings on any casino ranging from 1 to 10 (where 1 means “Terrible” and 10 means “Excellent”). This way, the actual score of the casino is the average of the ratings left by our users.

Why are ratings important?

The ratings on CasinosLists are helpful when you want to make an informed gambling decision. By checking the experience of other players, you can get an accurate overview of the casino’s quality, and decide whether a site is worth your time and money.

By presenting the player ratings and reviews of a casino, we provide our community the opportunity to get the most out of their gambling sessions and choose a reliable platform that will offer a memorable experience.

What makes our rating system different from other competitor websites?

Unlike many casino review platforms, our goal at CasinosLists is to inform our readers of the great opportunities they can seize in the world of online gambling. 

Therefore, instead of maximizing the profits generated from affiliate partnerships, we focus on increasing the value and quality of our knowledge, so that players can make the best possible decisions when they open a gambling account.  

With our unbiased community reviews, you will always have the best possible conditions to play the most fun online casino games safely and avoid running into any trouble.

Based on the players’ reviews done for the online casinos we list, we provide an updated ranking of the best online casinos you can find on the market.

Again, and unlike other platforms, at CasinosLists, the “best ranked online casino” is not just the operator that pays the best commission, but actually the platform that our users found the most trustworthy based on their experience (expressed by the ratings they left).

Why Should You Trust Our Ratings?

You might be wondering by now why you should trust our ratings. In the section that follows, we’ll be answering that question with three important reasons:

1. Our reviews are unbiased. We don’t edit or alter the reviews and ratings in any way before publishing them on CasinosLists. They’re exclusively generated by our users and not even the casino itself has a say in them.

2. We’re players just like you. And because of that, we know exactly what to look for and where. We know what gamblers appreciate because we’re gamblers ourselves and we know how frustrating it is to join a low quality casino.

3. Our community is highly engaged. Each and every one of our users is a passionate gambler. As such, everyone loves to share opinions and ratings, while helping other players get a better idea of what they should expect from a casino.

Your Contribution Is Important

For us, the community’s opinion on casinos is extremely important. Thanks to your reviews and ratings, we’re able to provide other gamblers with reviews that actually reflect the experience of real users. 

We take pride in creating a safe environment for our users where they can express their opinion freely and consider user-generated ratings more trustworthy since they come from people who actually tried the casinos.

We do not interfere with the rating and review process in any way and the experience of our users does not reflect our individual experience with these casinos.

How Our Rating System Works

On CasinosLists, we have a simple reviewing system in place. So if you want to leave a rating of your own, just follow these easy steps:

1. Choose a casino. You can choose any casino from our list. Once you’ve done that, go ahead and create your casino account and try out some of their bonuses and games.

2. Come back to CasinosLists. Once you’ve had your casino adventure, feel free to come back to its review page on Casino Lists. From there, you can start by dragging our rating meter to reflect your experience.

3. Write a review. If you want, you can also write a more detailed review of the casino. This will help other users get a better idea of what they’re getting into.

Every user-generated review contributes to the reputation of the casino. We never interfere with these ratings, as we believe they’re a good reflection of the casino’s quality. We will always let our users decide which casino deserves more players and which one doesn’t. 

Review Guidelines

Your experience at an online casino can help other players make informed decisions and stir away from unpleasant situations. To make sure your review is as useful to your fellow players as possible, we prepared a list of guidelines to take into consideration.

1. Share your personal experience. If you tried a certain online casino, offer your feedback. Try to be as impartial as possible and make sure the feedback reflects your actual experience with that particular casino.

2. Be clear and concise. To make sure people read and understand your text, keep it simple and to the point. Avoid using more than 50 characters and make sure you do a spelling check before you submit your review.

3. Be as accurate as possible. Try to be explicit and give opinions based on facts. Make sure you are not misleading or confusing your peers in any way and use detailed information to back up your statements.

4. Keep it fresh. Reviews that are outdated might not be as useful and relevant to other players as they should be. Try to write about experiences within the last year.

5. Respect privacy and be thoughtful. We have zero tolerance for discrmination or using sensitive information about others. Any review that contains personal attacks on others or reveals too much information about them will be deleted.

6. Avoid conflict of interests. Our partners are not allowed to give reviews in order to boost their image and ruin competitors’ image. We only allow honest and unbiased opinions from real players.

7. Don’t spam. You are not allowed to post reviews that target the same casino, that are repetitive or that are posted numerous times in a limited time frame. We also allow one ret per casino, so you can update your rating but it will count as one vote. 

Blacklisted Casinos

If we find any casino that doesn’t meet our standards, we make sure to warn our community about it. We do that by flagging the website as blacklisted. Because we’re extremely serious about the casinos we recommend to our players, we will never promote any platform that could bring harm to your money or entertainment. 

Currently, our database of blacklisted casinos contains 110 places that you should avoid. We constantly update this list to make sure that our users get a fair casino experience. 

The main goal of this list is to warn you that, according to our criteria, a casino might not be fair. This includes - but is not limited to - unfair bonus terms, shady business practices, unresponsive customer support and many others such as:

• Rigged games;

• Bonuses are hard to receive;

• Poor customer support or lacking altogether;

• The website loads very slowly;

• They’re not fair to the players;

• The website isn’t secure (they don’t have SSL encryptions or licenses).

Here is what a "Blacklisted" label looks like on our website. Make sure you check the casino information before you register.

Final Thoughts

All in all, our review system has been created with the user in mind. We constantly strive to bring you the most transparent and honest user reviews and that’s why we don’t alter these reviews in the first place. 

At the end of the day, try to keep in mind that the final decision is yours to make. These ratings and reviews are purely informative and you should only use them as guidelines.

When gambling, it’s extremely important to play it safe and always remember to gamble responsibly. Because gambling should be a fun hobby that helps you relax and unwind.
