Methodology
What my casino reviews are based on
This page explains what I actually do before I publish a review, and what I do not do. If something was not checked, the review says so.

Who writes the reviews

Every review is written by me, Mykhailo Dykyi. I have worked in online gambling for 8 years on the affiliate and operator side. Casivexa is a one-person project, not a testing lab - I would rather say that than pretend otherwise.
What I do for the casinos I list
- For the casinos in my working list I registered an account and made a real-money deposit myself as a player. This is how I decide where a casino goes in my ranking.
- I check the licence against the regulator's public register and note the operating company.
- I read the bonus terms: wagering, max bet, max win, game restrictions and expiry.
- I go through the casino's own pages on payments, limits and responsible play, and compare them with independent review sites. Those sources are listed at the end of each review.
What I do not claim
A review does not say anything about withdrawal speed, identity verification (KYC) or the quality of customer support unless I have a dated record of doing it myself. Where there is no such record, the review gives the casino's own stated terms and labels them as such. I do not publish deposit amounts, payment methods or results that I did not record.
How results are recorded
Test results and a score appear only when a review has a dated testing record: the date, the country I tested from, and notes on the device, amount, method and outcome. Without that record the page says clearly which parts come from the casino's terms and public sources.
Unverified and demo content
Anything I could not check is marked as unverified. Demo examples use a fictional brand to show the format - their figures are illustrative, no test was performed, and they are never shown in public lists.
Updates and corrections
Casino terms change often. Reviews show when they were last updated. If you spot an error, tell me through the contact page and I will check and correct it.
Play responsibly
Gambling is for adults (18+ or older where local law requires) and is never a way to earn money. Check that online gambling is legal where you live.
