Our Mission
The use of the word "legit" within our domain is intentional. This is the question that players search for when they type the domain into Google. We exist to provide that legitimacy to players of all nations and of all backgrounds.
LegitCasinos considers only licensed casinos for review. All casinos featured on this site hold a licence from one of the major regulating jurisdictions: the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, or the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. Any casino that can not be verified against one of these regulators prior to the writing of a single word about it will not find itself with a five-star review on our site.
What Makes Us Different
Most casino review sites rank the available casinos according to the size of their bonuses. We rank our casinos according to safety above all else. A 500% welcome bonus is of little use to the player if the casino fails to provide a safe environment for its players.
Our primary evaluation criteria, in order, are:
- Verifiable licence - confirmed against the regulator's live public register
- Payment track record - documented withdrawal history and player community reputation
- Bonus term fairness - wagering requirements, max bet rules, and expiry conditions
- Responsible gambling tools - deposit limits, self-exclusion, and support links
- Customer support quality - tested live chat response and resolution
The size of the bonus, the game library, and the variety of promotions the casino can offer is used as a means of further ranking once all the above criteria are met.
How We Make Money
LegitCasinos is an affiliate website. Any casino mentioned on our site will feature a "Visit" button that will allow the player to click through to the casino and register with them. Should the player register through this link, the casino may pay us a small commission for that registration. This will have no effect upon the player; they will not be paying any extra fees, and they will receive the same welcome offer as any player who visits the site directly.
The affiliate relationship between LegitCasinos and the featured casinos has no effect upon their ranking on the site. Any casinos that are included on the site are due to the licensing requirements that they meet. Casinos that do not meet those requirements will be removed from the site regardless of the existence of the affiliate relationship.
