About PrimeBit

Who We Are

PrimeBit is an independent comparison service for US online casino players. We test, review, and rank US-friendly online casinos using a transparent, repeatable methodology — and we publish the receipts so you can verify our work. We are not affiliated with any casino operator, software provider, or licensing jurisdiction.

What We Cover

Our editorial focus is the US online casino market — both regulated state-by-state iGaming (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island) and the wider universe of offshore-licensed and sweepstakes brands that serve players in the remaining 43 states. We publish reviews of individual operators, deep-dive guides to bonuses, payment methods, and state-specific legal frameworks, and quarterly updated rankings across categories like fastest-payout casinos, crypto casinos, live dealer casinos, and no-deposit bonus offers.

Our Editorial Standards

Every piece of content published on PrimeBit follows the same five-step process:

First-hand testing. Every casino we rank is funded with our own money. We deposit, play, request support, and withdraw — typically three times at different cash-out sizes — before publishing or updating a review.
Fact verification. Licence numbers, ownership chains, software provider lists, bonus terms, and state-by-state legal status are independently verified against primary sources (licensing registries, state gaming commission websites, public corporate filings) within 30 days of publication.
Author review. Every page is reviewed by at least one named author, whose biography and credentials appear on our Authors page.
Legal review. State-specific pages and any content discussing US gambling law are reviewed by a US gambling attorney before publication.
Quarterly re-audit. Every brand ranking is re-tested on a 90-day cycle. Operators that fail a test — late payouts, support breakdowns, T&C deterioration — drop in the ranking immediately. We publish a changelog noting the changes.

The PrimeBit Casino Ranking Methodology

Our composite score for every brand is weighted across five dimensions. The full methodology is published below so you can replicate or challenge our scores.

Licensing & Trust (25%). Active licence, history of disciplinary actions, transparent ownership, dispute resolution speed (data sourced from AskGamblers and ThePOGG), longevity of operation.
Bonus Value & Fairness (20%). Effective value calculation — match × deposit ÷ rollover × game weighting — plus max-bet rules, expiry windows, and max cashout caps audited against the T&Cs.
Game Library & Software (20%). Number of unique titles, provider mix (RTG, Betsoft, Rival, Nucleus, Saucify, Visionary iGaming), demo availability, posted RTP, and live dealer breadth.
Payout Speed & Banking (20%). Crypto and fiat withdrawal times measured against three real test cash-outs (small / medium / large), plus deposit success rate by method.
Player Experience & Support (15%). Live chat first-response time, agent depth-of-knowledge score, mobile UX rating, account closure friction, complaint resolution record.

The final composite is a 100-point score, expressed as X.Y/10 across the site. The lowest score we will list in our top 15 is 8.0 — anything below that is excluded.

Affiliate Disclosure

PrimeBit earns referral commission when readers click an outbound link to a listed casino and create an account. Commission rates do not affect ranking position. Our top picks are determined by methodology score alone, and the highest-paying affiliate programs in our portfolio routinely rank below brands that pay smaller commissions but score better on our criteria. We disclose every affiliate relationship on the page where it appears, and outbound affiliate links are tagged rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" per Google's webmaster guidelines.

We do not accept paid placement, paid reviews, or sponsored content. We do not let casino marketing teams edit, approve, or pre-screen our reviews. If an operator threatens to terminate our affiliate agreement over a negative review, we publish the threat — that has happened twice in the past 24 months and both times we kept the original review live.

How We Make Money — In Detail

To remove any ambiguity: when you click an outbound link from PrimeBit to a casino, the casino's affiliate platform records the click against our affiliate ID. If you then create an account and make a deposit, the operator pays us either a fixed fee (a "CPA" — typically $50–$300 per first-time depositor) or a percentage of the house's net revenue from your play (a "revenue share" — typically 25–45%). Some deals are hybrid. Either way, the payment is from the operator's marketing budget, not from your account.

Contact & Corrections

If you spot an error on PrimeBit, please email [email protected] or use the contact form. We treat correction requests as urgent and respond within 48 hours. If a casino disputes a review, we ask for documentary evidence (screenshots, T&Cs at the time of publication, dispute records) and re-publish with the dispute noted if our original conclusion stands.

Our Team

Reviews are written and edited by a small in-house team of casino veterans and reporters with backgrounds in gambling law, software QA, and personal finance journalism. See the Authors page for biographies, credentials, and the list of pages each team member is responsible for.

What We Don't Do

We don't recommend gambling as a way to make money. The house has the edge on every game.
We don't publish content aimed at players under 18, or under 21 in states where 21 is the legal threshold.
We don't link to unlicensed brands or operators with unresolved player-fund disputes.
We don't sell, share, or rent reader data. See our Privacy Policy for details.
We don't accept anonymous editing. Every review carries an author byline.
