Frequently asked questions

What readers ask us most about how SlayCasinos works.

Do casinos pay to rank higher?

No. Commercial deals never move a casino up the table. Rankings follow a fixed 5-factor scoring model — payout speed 35%, bonus fairness 25%, games 15%, support 15%, payments 10%. See the full methodology on /how-we-rate.

Are all casinos on SlayCasinos UK licensed?

Yes — every casino ranked on the main tables holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. The UKGC account number is shown in the licensing block of every review. Browse the full UKGC-only shortlist on /best-casinos.

How do you test withdrawal times?

We deposit real money, play through a live session, then time the withdrawal from the moment we hit "cashout" until the funds land as a spendable balance. Every listed brand is retested on a 30-day cycle so the payout figures never go stale.

What does "wager-free" actually mean?

Wager-free means any winnings from the bonus are paid straight to your cash balance with zero playthrough — you can withdraw immediately. Beware operators that call an offer "wager-free" but attach max-cashout caps.

What is a sister casino?

Sister casinos are brands that share the same parent company or platform provider — often the same wallet, KYC system and bonus terms behind the scenes. It matters because a payout dispute at one usually applies to all of them. Browse the full map on /sister-casinos.

Why does it matter who owns a casino?

Shared owners often mean shared wallets, shared term traps and a payout track record that travels across every brand in the network. Knowing the parent tells you what to expect before you deposit. See the operators behind the brands on /casino-networks.

How do you find a casino's sister sites?

We cross-reference licence records (UKGC, MGA), payment infrastructure and Companies House filings, then map the network per brand. Every mapping is published and dated.

How often are reviews updated?

Every listed brand is re-tested on a 90-day cycle, plus immediately after any material change — licence, ownership, payment stack or bonus terms.
