Marcus Tan — author

online casino and payments analyst (Singapore)

Marcus Tan has followed online casinos and payment rails across South-East Asia since 2017, with a particular interest in the two things most reviews skip: what a bonus’s small print actually says, and how long a withdrawal really takes once it has been approved.

How we work

Bonus terms are read at the source — in the promotion’s own conditions inside the account, not in a press release.
Payment routes are described by what they can and cannot do. Where an amount is set in the cashier and not published, this site says so instead of printing a plausible number.
Licences are checked in public registers, and where an operator has no licence in the reader’s own country, that is written into the review rather than left out.
A page in four languages says the same thing in all four. The translations are not machine output and the facts do not change between them.

The rating scale

One scale from 1 to 10 and five criteria of equal weight: bonuses and terms, games and providers, payments, licensing, and support. The number in the text is the number in the page’s structured data — never two different scales, and never an aggregate rating this site is not in a position to compute.

Independence

The site is funded by affiliate links. The commission does not influence the rating or the text: the weak points sit on the same page as the strong ones — which is why licensing scores 5.5 on the TikiTaka review while nearly everything else is above average, and why the legal position in Singapore is stated in full rather than in a footnote. If you find something out of date, tell us. We would rather correct than defend.
