How We Rate Every Casino

Six criteria with published weights, real testing with real money before any recommendation, and zero secret deals. This is the complete methodology we follow with every casino that appears on our site.

The Six Criteria and Each One's Weight

The bars below show the relative weight of each criterion in the final score, not any one casino's score. Every casino earns a score out of 5 on each criterion, and the weighted score is then calculated from these percentages.

Withdrawal Speed (20%)4.0 / 5.0
Game Variety (15%)3.0 / 5.0

The Six Steps We Follow to Review Every Casino

  1. Initial research: we review the license, public complaints, and the casino's reputation on forums and international review sites.
  2. Registration and deposit: we create a real account, go through identity verification (KYC), and deposit with our own money.
  3. Game testing: we play across different categories over more than one session: slots, table games, and live dealer.
  4. Support testing: we reach out with simple and complex questions at different times.
  5. Test withdrawal: we request a withdrawal and measure the time from request to the money arriving.
  6. Final scoring: we give each criterion a score out of 5, and calculate the weighted score. A casino that doesn't reach the minimum threshold doesn't make our recommended lists.

When We Update the Pages

Rating is not a one-time event. The editor responsible for each section returns to their pages regularly and rechecks the points that change most often: deposit and withdrawal fees, whether a payment method is available in a given country, current bonus terms, and license status. We also retest as soon as a reader flags something or we notice a clear change. The last-updated date shown at the top of every page is the date of the last real content review, not a cosmetic one.

What Gets a Casino Removed From Our Lists

  • Stalling on a withdrawal or refusing it after identity verification passes, with no reason written in the terms.
  • Losing its license, or switching to a licensing body that can't be verified.
  • Bonus terms that change after registration or apply retroactively.
  • Support that fails to answer withdrawal questions across repeated tests.

Removal doesn't depend on commission: a casino we earn from can get removed, and a casino we earn nothing from can stay in first place.

Transparency Statement: We Earn Commissions, We Don't Sell Our Recommendations.

arabiccasinos.guide earns a commission from some casinos through referral links. But the commission doesn't buy a ranking. The casino paying the highest commission could sit in tenth place, and the casino paying zero commission could sit in first.

Referral links are marked programmatically (rel sponsored) and cost the reader nothing extra. What's collected when you click one is explained in the privacy policy.

Our ranking depends only on the six criteria scores.
