Editorial Policy
How we research, test, score and correct the pages on USACasinos247, and what we will and won’t publish.
Who Is Responsible
Our guides and reviews are edited by Otto Bergstrom. Each page names its editor at the top. If a page is wrong, it is our mistake to fix.
Where Our Facts Come From
We use four kinds of source, and each page makes clear which one a fact comes from:
- Our own withdrawals. Real crypto withdrawals we requested and timed from request to wallet. The full record is on our rating page, including the request that was rejected and the one with no finish time.
- The casino’s own website. Bonus terms, cashier and withdrawal tables, help-center articles, license details and game pages. We quote or attribute them: “Ignition says”, “Bovada’s terms”.
- Game makers’ own pages. Return-to-player figures and game rules come from the developer when it publishes them. When a casino doesn’t name the maker, we say so.
- Our own math. House edges, keno odds and the cost of clearing a bonus are calculated by us from published rules, and labeled as our calculation.
We don’t copy figures from other review sites, forums or casino ads. If a casino’s pages contradict each other, we show both versions instead of picking the friendlier one.
How We Write
- Test results and casino claims are kept apart. “Paid us in 11 minutes 10 seconds” and “processed within 24 hours” never appear as the same kind of fact.
- Gaps are stated. When a site won’t load, a page doesn’t give a figure or we haven’t tested something, the page says so.
- Nothing is invented. No made-up tests, quotes, player reviews, testimonials, experts or credentials.
- Downsides stay in. A casino we recommend still gets its catches spelled out.
- Plain English. We explain terms like rollover and house edge in dollars where we can.
How Scores and Rankings Work
Casinos on our lists are ordered by a score out of 100 from five checks, each with written rules applied to recorded data. Commission is not one of the inputs, and a casino can’t pay us for a higher position, a better score or a softer review. The full method is on our How We Rate Casinos page.
Affiliate Links
USACasinos247 earns money through affiliate links. Links to casinos go through usacasinos247.com/go/ and are marked as sponsored. If you sign up or deposit through one, the casino may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. Who pays us and how much has no effect on what our pages say.
Software and AI Tools
We use software, including AI tools, to collect casino terms, compare them across sites and help draft and check pages. Those tools don’t decide anything on their own: scores come from fixed rules applied to recorded data, every figure is checked against its source before a page goes live, and the editor approves each page.
Checks Before Publishing
- Every figure on a new or rebuilt page is checked a second time against the source it came from.
- Anything that can’t be confirmed is removed, or rewritten to say exactly what is and isn’t known.
- Pages are reviewed as private previews before they are published.
Updates and Corrections
Casino terms change often, so we recheck our pages and update them when the terms change.
If you spot something wrong, such as a bonus term that has changed or a withdrawal limit we got wrong, tell us through our contact form and include the page and, if you can, where you saw the correct figure. We check it against the casino’s own page and correct ours when we confirm the error.
Responsible Gambling
- Our guides carry the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-MY-RESET, and so does the footer of every page.
- We don’t present gambling as a way to make money or to solve money problems.
- We don’t write for or target anyone under the legal gambling age.
- We don’t tell readers how to get around a casino’s location checks or their own self-exclusion.
Call or text 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738), or chat online, for free, confidential help from the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 24 hours a day. See our responsible gambling page for limits and blocking tools.
