How We Rate Casinos

At Mom Versus, we evaluate non-Gamstop casinos using a comprehensive methodology to help you find safe, enjoyable gaming platforms. Our ratings are based on rigorous testing and analysis across eight key criteria, listed below in order of importance.

1. Licensing & Regulation

The foundation of any trustworthy casino is proper licensing and regulation. We prioritize platforms licensed by reputable authorities including:

• Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) – One of Europe's strictest regulators
• UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) – For operators holding GB licenses
• Curaçao eGaming – A well-established Caribbean licensing body
• Other verified local licenses where applicable

We verify all licenses directly with regulatory bodies and flag any expired or questionable credentials immediately.

2. Game Selection & Software Providers

A quality casino offers diverse gaming options from trusted software developers. We assess:

• Slots – Variety of classic, video, and progressive jackpot titles

• Table Games – Blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker variants
• Software providers including NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and others
• Game fairness certifications and RTP percentages

8. Our Rating Scale

We rate casinos on a scale of 1 to 10, with the following breakdown:

• 9-10: Excellent – Highly recommended with minimal concerns
• 7-8: Good – Solid platform with few issues; recommended with consideration
• 5-6: Fair – Acceptable but with some notable limitations or concerns
• 3-4: Poor – Significant issues that warrant caution

Each rating reflects the weighted importance of our eight criteria, with licensing and regulation carrying the most influence. A casino cannot achieve a high rating if it fails on fundamental safety and regulatory standards, regardless of other strengths.
