How We Check Casinos
At IPU, we believe every player deserves access to honest and transparent casino ratings. Our verification process is thorough, independent, and based on real data — not paid partnerships or affiliate deals.
Our 5-Step Verification Process
1
License Verification
We verify the casino holds a valid gambling license from a reputable authority (MGA, UKGC, Curacao, etc.) and cross-check it against the regulator's official database.
2
Payout Analysis
We analyze real withdrawal data from our members: average processing times, success rates, and any reported delays or denials.
3
Player Feedback
We collect and verify reviews from real players in our community. Each review is checked for authenticity to prevent fake or sponsored feedback.
4
Security Audit
We check SSL encryption, data protection policies, responsible gaming tools, and the casino's track record with player data.
5
Ongoing Monitoring
Ratings are not set in stone. We continuously monitor casinos based on new complaints, regulatory changes, and updated player data.
What We Evaluate
Each casino is scored across six key criteria that directly impact the player experience:
- Valid gambling license from a recognized regulatory authority
- Fast and reliable withdrawal processing (under 48 hours)
- Responsive customer support available 24/7 via live chat
- Certified fair games with verified RNG (Random Number Generator)
- Strong data protection with SSL encryption and 2FA options
- Low complaint ratio from IPU community members
Our Data Sources
Our ratings are built on data from multiple independent sources: IPU member reports, public regulatory databases, independent game auditors (eCOGRA, iTech Labs), and our own mystery shopper tests. We never accept payment from casinos for better ratings.
