About CasinoAudit.net

We Rate Casinos by Data, Not Deals

CasinoAudit is an independent team of Australian iGaming professionals who got tired of fake reviews and paid rankings. So we built a platform where every score is calculated by formula, every data source is public, and no casino can buy its way to the top.

Our Mission

Why We Built CasinoAudit

Most casino review sites are advertising platforms in disguise.
We built CasinoAudit to be the opposite — a platform where every rating is calculated by formula, every data source is public, and no casino can buy its way to the top.
Built for Australian players. Focused on data. Zero paid rankings.
Typical review sites
  • Rankings based on who pays the most
  • "Expert opinion" that can't be verified
  • Same template for every country
  • Scores change when deals change
  • Hidden affiliate relationships
  • No methodology or formula disclosed
  • Outdated data and recycled content
VS

Independence

Our revenue comes from affiliate commissions, but it never touches the rating process. The commercial and editorial teams are structurally separated — by design, not by promise.

Open methodology

Transparency

Our methodology is public. Our data sources are listed. Our formulas are documented. If we can't explain how a score was calculated, it doesn't get published.

Formula decides

Data-First

Human judgement shapes the methodology. But once the formula is set, the numbers decide. No editor can override a score, no matter how much they like or dislike a casino.

How We Work

From Research to Published Rating

Behind the automation is a team of professionals who ensure quality, accuracy, and fairness at every step.

01

Research & Discovery

Our analysts identify and evaluate new casinos, checking licenses, ownership, and operational history before they enter our database.

02

Automated Data Collection

Bots crawl public APIs, regulatory filings, payment processors, and game catalogues — collecting thousands of data points every 24 hours.

03

Formula Calculation

Raw data is normalized, weighted across 6 pillars, and processed by our scoring engine. No manual adjustments — the formula decides.

04

Editorial Review

Our team reviews anomalies, verifies edge cases, and writes human context around the numbers. Editors never change scores — only explain them.

05

Publication & Monitoring

Updated ratings go live every week. We monitor for sudden changes and alert our team if any casino requires immediate re-evaluation.

Our Values

The Principles Behind Every Rating

Six non-negotiable commitments that guide everything we do.

No Pay-for-Play

We never accept money for positions. Casino operators cannot buy, sponsor, or influence their ranking in any way.

Data Over Opinions

The formula decides rankings, not editors. Human judgement shapes the methodology — but never overrides the numbers.

Player First

We work for the player, not the casino. Every design decision, every metric weight, every feature is built with you in mind.

Full Transparency

Our methodology is public. Our data sources are listed. Our formulas are documented. You can verify everything.

Weekly Accuracy

Stale data is misleading data. We recalculate scores weekly, always using the freshest available information.

Accountability

When we make a mistake, we own it and fix it publicly. We welcome corrections and maintain a transparent changelog.

Editorial Policy

How We Guarantee Honest Ratings

Structural safeguards that prevent commercial interests from influencing our scores.

Editorial–Commercial Separation

Our editorial and commercial teams operate independently. Writers and analysts have no knowledge of which casinos are affiliate partners.

Equal Treatment by Formula

The scoring formula treats every casino identically. No casino receives special weights, exceptions, or manual score boosts — regardless of business relationship.

Affiliate Disclosure

We earn revenue through affiliate links. This is disclosed on every page. Affiliate status has zero impact on ratings — it only determines if we earn a commission on referrals.

Correction & Challenge Policy

Casino operators can submit factual corrections (e.g. updated license data). Corrections go through verification before they affect any score. Operators cannot request or purchase score changes.

Every casino is scored across six measurable dimensions built specifically for Australian players. Here's what we measure — for the full breakdown, visit our methodology page.

FAQ

Common Questions About CasinoAudit

How we work, who we are, and why our ratings are different.

CasinoAudit is built and maintained by an independent team of iGaming analysts, data engineers, and content professionals. Our team members have worked in the online gambling industry for a combined 40+ years — across operators, affiliates, and regulatory consulting. We are not owned by or affiliated with any casino operator, game provider, or gambling group.
Because most casino review sites are paid advertising in disguise. They rank whoever pays the most and call it an "expert opinion." We spent years inside the industry and saw how it works. CasinoAudit was built to offer players an honest alternative — a platform where every rating is calculated by formula, every data source is public, and no casino can buy its way to the top.
Australian players have specific needs that global review sites ignore. PayID support, POLi and Neosurf availability, AU-friendly withdrawal limits, local Terms of Use compliance, and mobile-first experience are critical for Aussie players. Our entire team, our formula, and our data collection are calibrated for the AU market — it's not a side project, it's our entire focus.
We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships. When you click a link on our site and register at a casino, we may receive a commission. This is clearly disclosed on every page. Crucially, affiliate status has zero impact on ratings — it only determines whether we earn a referral fee. Many highly-rated casinos in our database are not affiliate partners at all.
No. Our ratings are calculated by an automated formula using publicly verifiable data. No casino operator can buy, sponsor, or influence their position. The editorial and commercial teams are structurally separated — our writers don't know which casinos are partners, and the commercial team cannot request score changes.
Every casino is scored across six measurable metrics built for Australian players: Trust & License, Payout Speed, Fair Bonuses, Customer Reviews, Payment Convenience, and UX & Mobile. The formula produces a Trust Score from 0 to 100. For the complete breakdown of each metric, sub-scores, and formulas, visit our full methodology page.
We update our data weekly, though we often do so more frequently when circumstances call for it. Our team monitors for critical changes — such as license revocations, major player complaints, or payment issues — and triggers an immediate re-evaluation whenever needed.
Our editorial team — real people with real names listed on our Team page. Every review is written by a team member with iGaming experience who has personally tested the casino. Editors add context and explanations around the data, but they never override the formula-calculated scores.
