Disclaimer

Online-Casinos.ws is an information site about online casinos and their offers, online since 2002, and it is not a casino: no game is played here, no money is deposited or won, and nothing on the site is a contract between reader and operator. The pages describe what the operators publish, with the method set out on our About page, and this disclaimer says what that description is worth and where it stops.

The offers, amounts, percentages and terms quoted ("no deposit" bonuses, "free spins", "wagering") are the operators' published ones at the time of writing, and they change, so a player should read the casino's own terms before registering, since those prevail over any summary here. Errors are possible. They are corrected when they are reported (the address is on the privacy page), and no decision should rest on a figure found here alone.

Markets, and the law of the reader's country

The operators listed on our pages address the international, non-regulated market and do not hold a licence in every country from which our readers arrive: before registering, it is the player's responsibility to check that the law of the country in which he or she is located allows playing with that operator. The site does not recognise your country and shows everyone the same pages, so the sentence stands in the footer and beside every list.

Nobody on our editorial team is a lawyer, and nothing on this site is legal advice. The paragraphs on the regulation of a market (the Gambling Commission in Great Britain, iGaming Ontario and the AGCO since 2022, the Interactive Gambling Act of 2001 in Australia) summarise public sources and explain why the offers differ between countries. A player who wants to know his or her own position should ask a professional in that country rather than a website!

Age

Every page of this site is for adults, aged 18 or more, and older where the player's country sets a higher age (21 in several jurisdictions), and a casino that does not ask for an identity document (the "KYC" check) before paying a withdrawal is not generous but careless.

A minor cannot register with a licensed operator, nor keep a win. The check usually arrives at the first withdrawal (an identity document, a proof of address), so it is worth passing before playing rather than after winning, and parents who want to be sure can use the "parental control" settings of their devices, which block gambling sites.

The responsibility of the player

Gambling is entertainment with a cost, and in the long run the cost is certain, because every game keeps a margin for the house (the "house edge"): the "RTP" of a slot at 96 per cent means four units lost per hundred bet, on average, over millions of spins. A player who deposits only what he or she can afford to lose, sets limits before the first deposit and never chases a loss keeps the game a game.

The decision to register, deposit and bet is the player's alone, and the site accepts no liability for it, nor for what happens at an operator once you have left these pages (a withdrawal delayed, a bonus voided for "irregular play" or "bonus abuse", an account closed). Where a casino does not pay, the complaints path runs through the regulator named in its licence (our guide to legitimate casinos explains it), not through this site.

Where to find help

Gambling stops being a game when it becomes a way to recover losses, when it is hidden from the family or paid with money meant for something else; the signs are known (more time and money than planned, irritation when stopping, a growing stake), and the services below are free and confidential. Most operators also offer deposit limits, "cooling-off" pauses and "self-exclusion" in the account settings, which work best when set before they are needed.

In the United Kingdom, GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133, free, at any hour) and a "live chat", and BeGambleAware gathers advice, a self-assessment and local treatment addresses. For every other country, Gamblers Anonymous holds meetings in person and online in dozens of countries, and Gambling Therapy, the online service of the Gordon Moody charity, offers support in several languages by chat, e-mail and groups.

In Ontario, ConnexOntario answers at 1-866-531-2600, by phone, text or chat, at any hour and without charge; in Australia, Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) offers counselling by phone and chat around the clock, and in South Africa the National Responsible Gambling Programme runs a toll-free line (0800 006 008) and free treatment. A player elsewhere will find the national service through the regulator of that country, and a reader who tells us about one helps the next reader.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site is free to read and paid for by advertising: some casino links are "affiliate" links, and when you register through one of them the operator may pay us a commission, at no extra cost to you, which never affects the ratings. The operators' cards and banners are advertisements, the disclosure sentence and the 18+ reminder stand on every page carrying them, and the FAQ answers the questions this arrangement raises.

This disclaimer, the privacy policy and the cookie policy together govern the use of the site, and they are updated when the site changes; reading all three takes less time than the "T&Cs" of a single bonus, which remain, in our view, the reading to do first.
