How We Rate Casinos

Welcome to Care to Move's casino rating methodology. Our mission is to provide transparent, honest, and comprehensive casino reviews to help you make informed decisions. This page explains exactly how we evaluate and rate online casinos, what criteria matter most, and how we maintain independence in our assessments.

Our Rating Criteria

We evaluate casinos across six essential categories to create a complete picture of each operator's strengths and weaknesses.

Bonuses and Promotions

We assess the quality and fairness of welcome bonuses, ongoing promotions, and loyalty programs. We examine wagering requirements, validity periods, game restrictions, and whether bonuses provide genuine value. We also evaluate special offers for players using specific payment methods, such as bookmakers met ideal, to ensure all players receive fair treatment regardless of their preferred payment option.

Game Selection

A quality casino needs diverse gaming options. We evaluate:

Payment Methods

We examine the range of deposit and withdrawal options available, including traditional methods and modern alternatives. We check for fair deposit limits, reasonable withdrawal processing times, and whether specialized payment options like IDEAL are properly supported. Transaction fees, currency support, and security measures are also evaluated.

Customer Support

Reliable support is crucial. We assess:

Licensing and Regulation

We verify that casinos hold legitimate licenses from recognized gaming authorities. We check the jurisdiction of licensure, the regulator's reputation, and whether the casino maintains compliance with industry standards. This is non-negotiable for casinos we recommend.

Mobile Experience

With most players accessing casinos via mobile devices, we thoroughly test:

Our Review Process

Our reviews follow a rigorous, multi-stage process:

Research Phase: We gather comprehensive data about each casino, including licensing information, terms and conditions, and available promotions.

Testing Phase: Our team creates accounts, tests the registration process, claims bonuses, explores the game library, and evaluates customer support responsiveness. We test across multiple devices.

Analysis Phase: We compile findings, verify information accuracy, and assign scores across all criteria categories.

Review Phase: Senior reviewers verify all findings and ensure consistency with our standards before publication.
