About InternetCasino.co: An Independent Desk for a Loud Industry

Published June 22, 2026

InternetCasino.co compares internet casinos for players in the United States, United Kingdom and Ontario. The premise is narrow on purpose: most casino advice fails because it's written backward from the bonus. We write forward from the payout — who pays, how fast, under what licence, at what hidden cost.

Everything published here traces to the same four-pillar method: payout reality weighted heaviest, then licensing verified against regulators' own registers, then a fee audit of the terms, then fairness certification. The methodology page publishes the weights, the sources and the disqualification rules.

The Desk

Three people, three lanes, publicly accountable. Dan Whitaker times withdrawals and reads fee schedules. Mara Ellison verifies licences and tracks regulation across every market we cover. Chris Okafor keeps the game math honest, including the unpopular parts about betting systems.

Disagreements resolve toward the conservative score. It's a small rule with large consequences: when in doubt, the operator gets the lower number and the review explains the doubt. Readers can absorb our caution; they shouldn't have to absorb our optimism.

How the Site Sustains Itself

Affiliate commissions fund the work: sign up through some links here and the operator pays us a fee, never deducted from anything you receive. The firewall is sequencing — scores exist before commercial conversations do, and the desk that sets scores doesn't negotiate deals. Operators with no deal at all sit in the same tables, scored the same way.

We publish for adults in regulated and lawful markets: 18+ in the UK and most US contexts, 19+ in Ontario, 21+ where states require it. Responsible-play resources appear in the footer of every page, and our responsible gambling guide covers the tools in depth. If the entertainment stops being entertainment, use them.

Editorial Standards, In Practice

Three rules govern every page. First, checkable sources: licence claims trace to regulator registers, game math to published pay tables, payout claims to operator terms — and reviews quote what they measured so readers can re-run any check. Second, market-correct vocabulary: sweepstakes platforms are described in sweepstakes terms, Ontario listings follow AGCO advertising standards to the letter.

Third, the conservative default. Where evidence is ambiguous, the operator gets the lower score and the review explains why. Where a topic invites exaggeration — bonuses, systems, "guaranteed" anything — the guides state the boring number instead. It costs clicks and earns the only asset a comparison site actually has.

The stack behind the site is deliberately simple: static pages, no account system, no advertising trackers, scores re-verified against source terms and registers every time a page is updated. The research reports follow the same discipline, with sources cited inline and charts free to republish with attribution.

Corrections and Contact

Errors get fixed in public. Every review shows its dates, every correction gets noted on the page it amends, and the contact page reaches a person, not a form-shaped void. If you can show us a number that's wrong, we'll change the number and say so.

About FAQ

What is InternetCasino.co?

An independent comparison site for internet casinos across the US, UK and Ontario. We score operators on four public pillars — payout reality, licensing, fees and fairness — and publish the method alongside the numbers on our methodology page.

How does the site make money?

Affiliate commissions: some outbound operator links pay us when a reader signs up, at no cost to the reader. Scores are set before commercial terms exist, and several listed operators pay us nothing. The full policy is in the footer of every page.

Who writes the content?

A three-person editorial desk — Dan Whitaker (payments), Mara Ellison (licensing) and Chris Okafor (game math) — each with a public author page describing their lane and their standards.

Why the name "internet casino"?

Partly heritage, partly honesty. It's the industry's original name for itself, and our 30-year history report documents the era it comes from. We think the old-fashioned phrasing suits an old-fashioned idea: check the facts before recommending anything.

How do I report an error?

The contact page reaches the desk directly. Factual corrections with evidence get applied and noted on the affected page — reviews change in public here, not silently.

Do you accept payment for rankings or reviews?

No. Positions come from scores, scores come from the four pillars, and no operator can buy either. Review requests are welcome; review outcomes are not negotiable.
