Our evaluation framework
Our team performs rigorous research, cross‑checks information with regulatory bodies, and applies a transparent scoring model. Each casino is assessed against a structured set of criteria, and the resulting composite score is derived from predefined weights. All findings are reviewed for accuracy and updated as industry conditions evolve.

- Transparency of terms and disclosures
Scoring, transparency and updates
Ratings reflect a predefined weighting model with an open rationale. We publish data sources and, where possible, provide a clear breakdown of how scores are calculated. We continuously monitor operators for changes and refresh ratings to reflect the current landscape. You can learn more about our approach in the GRAI Compliance section and review terms in our Terms.
Affiliates and independence
Golden Clover Games participates in affiliate partnerships with some operators to sustain a free, high-quality service. Importantly, our reviews are produced according to an internal methodology and are not paid endorsements. Our priority is to provide trustworthy guidance that prioritises players.
How you can use our ratings
Use our ratings as a starting point, then verify terms directly with the operator. For players in Ireland, ensure the operator is properly licensed and take advantage of responsible gaming tools as needed.
