About StateLine Casinos

One editorial rule above all others: if a state regulator didn't license it, we don't review it.

What this site is

StateLine Casinos is an independent review and information site covering the regulated US online casino market — the eight states where real-money iGaming is legal, the operators licensed there, and the practical knowledge players need: legality, bonuses, banking, and staying in control.

We are not a casino. We accept no wagers, hold no player funds, and operate no games. We're a publisher.

Rating methodology

Every operator score is built from five weighted components:

License & compliance — 25%

Verified against official regulator databases in every claimed state; history of regulatory fines or player-fund issues counts against the score.

Payout speed & banking — 20%

Tracked withdrawal times per method, deposit reliability, and KYC friction.

Game library — 20%

Slot and table catalog depth, live dealer coverage, exclusive titles, published RTP transparency.

Bonus fairness — 20%

Wagering requirements, game weighting, expiry windows, and clarity of terms — headline size matters far less than the math.

Responsible-gambling tools — 15%

How discoverable and usable limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are, beyond the regulatory minimum.

How we make money — and what it doesn't buy

Like most review publishers, we may earn a referral commission when readers sign up with a licensed operator through our links. Two hard rules keep this honest:

Corrections and updates

State laws and license lists change. We review state legality pages when legislation moves and re-verify operator licenses on a recurring schedule. If you spot an error — a stale launch date, an operator that exited a state — we want to know, and we correct pages promptly with an update note.

Editorial independence, in one sentence: we would rather lose a commission than recommend a casino that couldn't survive a look at its own regulator's database.
