About Us

About MAXbet.org

Founded in 2011, MAXbet.org is a completely independent online casino review and comparison website. In short, we want to help players discover safe online casinos. In addition to helping you find trusted online casinos, we want to provide you with information regarding the bonuses available to you so that you can make informed decisions when it comes to your time and money. We are not a casino. As stated previously, we do not provide gaming services. We also have no financial connection with the casinos that we review other than receiving affiliate commissions — standard business arrangements. These affiliate commission agreements are clearly disclosed, and never influence the results of our Ratings or editorial opinions.
Since entering the igaming industry nearly 15 years ago, we have developed a system of reviewing online casinos that go far beyond superficial first impressions. We read all bonus terms in full. We contact customer service directly to test their response. We contact the issuing regulators to verify licenses. We analyze how quickly withdrawals are processed using several different payment methods. All of these processes produce comprehensive, truthful reviews that demonstrate how a casino really operates versus how they represent themselves in their promotional materials.

What We Cover

MAXbet.org publishes casino reviews, bonus comparisons, game guides, payment method explanations, and reviews of gambling regulations in five local editions of the site — catering to american players, german/austrian players, New Zealand players and irish players. Since the licensing environments, payment options, and regulatory climates vary greatly among these regions, each edition has been localized to cater to those specific markets rather than providing a single perspective of the entire industry.

In addition to being able to select from a wide variety of aspects that may be important to online casino players, we publish content in regard to the following:
Welcome bonuses and the wagering requirements associated with them,
Withdrawal speed and available payment methods,
The diversity and quality of game libraries and software providers,
Mobile functionality and availability, and
Licensing credentials that ensure operators maintain recognized levels of player protection.

How We Review Casinos

The process used to evaluate casinos on MAXbet.org
All casinos listed on MAXbet.org will be evaluated under identical criteria prior to being added. The evaluation process includes the following categories:

Licensing & regulation

We verify that each casino has obtained a license issued by a reputable gaming authority — either the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), etc. — and validate that said license was active and compliant with current regulatory standards at the time of the evaluation. Any casino operating without an acceptable license will not appear on this site regardless of the size of their welcome bonus.

Real bonus value and bonus terms

We conduct a complete analysis of all bonus offers including but not limited to; wagering requirements, permitted betting during a bonus period, game contribution rate, capped withdrawals on winning generated by the bonus and expiration dates. Our Ratings reflect real player value rather than the advertised value of a bonus.

Game selection and quality of software developers

We evaluate the depth and quality of each casino’s library of games as well as the reputation and history of software companies whose games are offered by each casino. Additionally, we identify whether games are certified by independent testing organizations such as ecogra or iTech Labs who verify that random number generators function fairly.

Withdrawal times and available payment options

We evaluate the selection of payment options offered for deposits/withdrawals, minimum/maximum allowable transaction values and the realistic withdrawal processing times based upon player reported experiences and our own testing. Reliable fast withdrawal processing times are one of the most critical practical factors in determining overall casino quality.

Quality of customer service

We evaluate the quality and promptness of customer service through direct communication with casino representatives utilizing live chat and/or email functions. The ability of Customer Support to timely respond to player inquiries and provide accurate responses to questions asked by players is critical. We also evaluate if Customer Support is accessible 24 hours per day.

Mobile functionality

We access each casino utilizing mobile browsers on both ios and Android platforms in order to evaluate the quality of mobile playability including load times for games, navigation and usability/accessibility to manage accounts.

Availability of responsible gaming tools

We evaluate if each casino provides all of the standard tools for responsible gaming practices including deposit limits, loss limits, session timers/reminders, self exclusion capabilities and links to reputable support resources. Casinos failing to adhere to even the most basic principles of responsible gaming are not recommended on MAXbet.org.

Our Ratings

Each casino listed on MAXbet.org is awarded a cumulative rating out of ten points. These Ratings are determined based upon evaluations within the six categories identified earlier with licensing, bonus fairness and withdrawal reliability having priority. Casino Ratings are continually reviewed and updated based upon changes in performance. If a casino’s performance decreases — and subsequently drops below our required standards — its rating will decrease accordingly. Listings for casinos falling below our standards will be removed.

As mentioned above, we do not receive payments from casinos in exchange for better Ratings, improved visibility or favorable editorial treatment. Our ranking system reflects our objective assessment of each operator’s quality and suitability for our target audience.

Affiliate Disclosure

The sites reviewed by MAXbet.org earn commissions from the sites they promote for each new member (player) who signs up using an affiliation link provided by maxbet.org. The sites then pay out a percentage of the new sign-up’s first deposit to maxbet.org. This process is called “Affiliate Marketing”. It’s an extremely common practice in the casino industry and allows us to provide free reviews of online casinos based on their performance across numerous areas of gaming and other features.

Our affiliation with any casino will never alter our review of that casino. Whether we have an affiliation agreement with a casino or don’t, every casino we review is evaluated against the same standards. A casino which fails to meet these standards may still appear in our list of top rated casinos if we have an agreement to market them; however, it will appear lower than casinos which achieve higher ratings.

Responsible Gambling

At maxbet.org, we believe in responsible gaming practices and therefore incorporate these principles into all our content. Each of the casinos shown on maxbet.org has been required to demonstrate the existence of adequate responsible gaming measures and we also include details regarding these measures in the reviews of each casino. If you or anyone else has concerns regarding your own or another person’s gaming habits please visit one of the following organizations for advice or assistance:

www.gamcare.org.uk GamCare
www.gamblingtherapy.org Gambling Therapy

Always remember: Casino gaming should be fun and enjoyable – not stressful due to financial pressure. Therefore, we advise you to only gamble with money that you could afford to lose.
