About Casino Cashback: Editorial Independence and Verification

CasinoCashback.info is an independent guide to cashback and rakeback offers at online casinos. We verify actual terms, expose hidden conditions, and rate casinos based on what they deliver, not what they advertise.

What We Do

We research, test, and compare cashback programs across online casinos. Every casino listed on this site goes through a verification process where we check the published terms against actual player experience.

Most casino review sites copy marketing claims. We read the terms and conditions, register test accounts, track cashback calculations over multiple periods, and flag discrepancies between advertised and actual terms. When a casino says "10% cashback" but buries a 5x wagering requirement in paragraph 14 of its T&C, we surface that in the review.

Our tools (the comparison tool and the cashback calculator) exist because comparing cashback deals manually is tedious and error-prone. Headline percentages are meaningless without context: wagering, caps, eligible games, and payout frequency all affect real returns.

The Team

Our editorial team consists of iGaming analysts and writers with combined experience spanning over a decade in online gambling research. We are players ourselves, which means we understand the frustrations of unclear terms and uncredited cashback from personal experience, not just theory.

Every review and article on this site is written by a named author with a documented background in iGaming. Author bios appear on all content pages.

Our Methodology

Casino ratings are not opinions. Each casino is scored across seven weighted criteria (for cashback) or seven parallel criteria (for rakeback), producing a composite score from 1 to 5.

Cashback criteria: percentage (25%), type (20%), wagering (15%), transparency (15%), game eligibility (10%), payout frequency (10%), max cap (5%).

Rakeback criteria: base rate (20%), max rate (20%), VIP fairness (20%), calculation method (15%), payout frequency (10%), game coverage (10%), trust (5%).

The full methodology with scoring rubrics for each criterion is documented on the casino rating page. Weights were set based on player impact analysis: factors that most directly affect how much money you actually receive carry the highest weight.

Independence and Affiliate Disclosure

This site earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with some listed casinos. When you click an affiliate link and register, we may receive a commission. This is standard practice for casino review sites and is how we fund our research.

Affiliate partnerships never influence ratings. A casino with poor transparency or exploitative wagering terms receives a poor score regardless of whether it is a partner. We have listed casinos with red flags (and explained those red flags in detail) even when doing so reduced our potential affiliate revenue.

If a casino loses its cashback program or significantly worsens its terms, we downgrade the rating immediately, even mid-partnership.

How We Stay Current

Casino terms change without notice. We re-verify all listed casinos on a monthly cycle and publish updates within 48 hours of confirmed term changes. The "Last Updated" date on every page reflects the most recent editorial review, not just a formatting tweak.

Blog articles covering time-sensitive topics (best weekly deals, regulatory changes) are refreshed on their own schedule, noted in each article's header.
