The site publishes editorial content: app reviews, assessments of mobile bonuses, game guides for mobile play and comparison tools that help you choose a casino.

How MobileCasinoRank is funded

MobileCasinoRank runs on performance marketing. Some links on the site, including links to casino sites, mobile registration pages and promotional offers, are affiliate links. When you click one and then register, deposit or place bets with that casino, the casino may pay us a referral commission.

The casino pays the commission. It costs you nothing extra. A player who arrives through our link gets the same wagering terms, bonus conditions and account rules as a player who arrives any other way.

Commissions pay for our editorial team, the phones and tablets we test apps on, the data systems behind our rankings and the ongoing review of casinos as the mobile market changes.

An affiliate link is an ordinary web link with a tracking parameter. The parameter tells the casino that the visitor came from MobileCasinoRank. If the visitor completes a qualifying action, such as installing the app, registering or making a first deposit, the casino credits the referral to us and pays under the terms of our agreement with it.

In every other way the link works like any other. The casino controls the landing page, the registration form, the offers shown and the deposit process. We control only where the link sits on our site and what we write around it.

How commissions are structured

Casinos pay affiliates in a few standard ways:

  • Cost per acquisition (CPA): one fixed payment when a referred player meets a set threshold, such as a minimum first deposit.
  • Revenue share: a percentage of the net revenue from referred players over time.
  • Hybrid: a mix of the two.

The arrangement differs by casino and is set in each agreement. Our income depends on referred players staying with the casinos we send them to. That is why we recommend on quality, not on commission: a casino that leaves players unhappy earns us less over time, so our interest and yours point the same way.

Independent rankings

Affiliate relationships do not decide our rankings. Every casino we review is scored with the same editorial method, whether or not we have a commercial relationship with it. Our editorial team sets the criteria, weightings and scoring. Commercial partners have no input.

A casino cannot buy a higher rank, a better rating or a better placement. Casinos without a partnership regularly rank above partners when the method puts them there. The rating in each review comes from that method, and the method is published on the site for you to check.

Our commitment to readers

We write every review, ranking and recommendation for the reader. A casino that does not meet the standard mobile players need is not recommended, whatever the commission.

Our reviews include hands-on mobile testing. The team installs the apps, registers accounts, deposits, plays, requests withdrawals and contacts customer support. Problems we find, such as unstable apps, slow withdrawals or unclear bonus terms, go into the review. So does good performance in the same areas.

We update reviews on a regular schedule. A casino can release an app update, change its licence, switch payment providers or rewrite its offer terms at any time, and our ratings are updated to reflect what it offers now.

How we choose partners

Every commercial partnership goes through editorial review before it starts. Before we add a mobile casino to our affiliate programme or recommend it, it must meet these criteria:

  • Licensing. A valid licence from a recognised regulator. We give priority to licences from the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and the regulators of Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other regulated markets.
  • Reputation. We check the casino's record on disputes, withdrawals, clear terms and complaint handling. A pattern of slow payouts, bonus terms changed after the fact or unresolved complaints means no approval.
  • Banking safety. Secure payment processing, player funds kept apart from operating funds where the regulator requires it, and payment methods that work reliably for players in the casino's licensed markets. Withdrawal times weigh heavily here.
  • Responsible gaming tools. Working controls inside the app or mobile site: deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, self-exclusion and links to independent support organisations.
  • Player feedback. We read feedback on independent forums, complaint sites, app store reviews and community channels. A steady pattern of complaints about withdrawals, verification or bonuses affects our decision.

A casino that fails one or more of these criteria can be moved down the rankings, removed from our recommendations or dropped from the affiliate programme, whatever the commercial relationship. A partner that starts to fail them loses partner status. A partner that loses a required licence or lets its app decline does not keep its rank. We apply this standard across the whole site.

Accuracy of our information

We make reasonable efforts to publish accurate, current information, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is correct when you read it. Casinos can update their apps, change their bonuses, add or drop payment methods or change their licences at any time, and our updates are periodic, not continuous.

What we publish is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of publication. We give no warranty, express or implied, beyond that. Before you register or deposit, confirm the details that matter to you directly with the casino: the current offer, wagering requirements, withdrawal times and whether it accepts players from your country. If you spot an error or something out of date, tell us through the contact details at the end of this page.

We do not control the third-party sites and apps we link to, and we are not liable for their content, terms or conduct, including changes made after we published the link.

The financial risk of real-money play

Real-money play on a phone carries a risk of financial loss. Outcomes are not guaranteed, and you should expect to lose. No guide, strategy or recommendation on MobileCasinoRank removes that risk, and we do not claim otherwise.

Our purpose is to help you find mobile casinos that are licensed, regulated and reliable. The decision to register, deposit or bet is yours alone. By using any casino linked from MobileCasinoRank, in free-play mode or for real money, you accept that outcomes are uncertain and that you may lose money.

You agree that MobileCasinoRank, its owners and its employees are not liable for losses at any casino linked from the site. You must be of legal age in your country to use the casinos we review, and you are responsible for checking that online casino play is legal where you live before you take part.

Responsible gaming

Casino play is entertainment. It is not a source of income or a way out of money problems. If it is causing stress, hurting your relationships or straining your finances, stop and get support.

Set a budget before you play, turn on the limit tools that regulated casinos provide and take regular breaks. A casino on your phone is open at any hour, so it takes more self-management, not less. Set session and deposit limits when you register. If you feel you have lost control, use the casino's self-exclusion tool, which blocks your account for a period you choose.
