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%
Payout speed & banking — 20%
Game library — 20%
Bonus fairness — 20%
Responsible-gambling tools — 15%
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:
- Commissions never influence scores or rankings. Methodology is fixed and applied identically to operators that pay us and operators that don't.
- No commission can put an unlicensed operator on this site. Offshore brands routinely pay affiliates several times what regulated operators pay — which is exactly why so many review sites push them, and exactly what we refuse to do.
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.
