These terms apply to your use of smartercasinos.com (the "website"), operated under the brand SmarterCasinos ("SmarterCasinos", "we", "us"; see the legal notice). By using the website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1. What this website is
SmarterCasinos is an informational website. We research online casinos and publish sourced facts about them, together with a Verification status, a Data Confidence rating and, where enough verified data exists, a Smarter Score.
- We do not operate a casino, offer gambling or accept stakes, deposits or payments.
- Smarter Verified means that key casino information was checked by us against identified sources. It is not a safety guarantee, a certificate or a licence, and it does not mean the casino is recommended.
- Unless a specific fact is expressly marked as independently measured, we have not deposited, played, completed identity checks (KYC) or withdrawn at the casinos we describe. Statements about payout times, KYC or similar matters are labelled with their source, for example "stated by the casino" or "reported by players".
How we research, verify and score casinos is explained in our Methodology.
2. No advice
Nothing on this website is legal, financial, tax, investment or other professional advice, and nothing is an invitation or encouragement to gamble. Any decision to open an account, deposit or gamble is yours alone. If you are unsure whether gambling is legal for you, seek independent advice.
3. Accuracy and freshness of data
We work carefully and show for each fact its source, its evidence level and the date we last checked it. However:
- Casinos can change their terms, licences, payment methods, bonuses and country restrictions at any time, and without notice to us.
- Information may be incomplete, out of date or wrong despite our checks. Where we could not verify something, we say so.
- Scores and ratings are opinions formed under our published methodology, not statements of fact about a casino's conduct.
Always check the current terms directly with the casino before depositing. If you believe something on the website is wrong, please tell us at partners@smartercasinos.com – we review correction requests and document changes.
4. No guarantee about casinos
We have no control over the casinos and other third parties described on this website. We do not guarantee their availability, conduct, solvency, fairness, payouts or compliance with law. Any relationship you enter into with a casino is solely between you and that casino.
5. Links to third-party websites
The website links to third-party websites, for example regulators, company registers, casino terms pages and help organisations. We are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement. At launch, the website contains no affiliate links; if commercial links are added in the future, they will be clearly labelled as described in our Affiliate disclosure.
6. Age and local law
This website is intended for adults aged 18 or over only. A higher minimum age may apply where you live. Online gambling is restricted or prohibited in many countries. You are responsible for checking and complying with the laws that apply to you. We do not target or promote gambling to people in markets where such promotion is prohibited, and we never address people who have excluded themselves from gambling. See our page on responsible gambling.
7. Intellectual property
The content of this website – including texts, data compilations, scores, the SmarterCasinos name, logo and design – is protected by copyright, database and trademark rights where applicable and belongs to us or our licensors. You may view and share links to our pages and quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link to the source page. Any other copying, systematic extraction (for example scraping of our data), republication or commercial use requires our prior written permission. Third-party trademarks, including casino names, belong to their respective owners.
8. Acceptable use
You must not use the website in a way that harms it or other users, attempts to gain unauthorised access, or interferes with its operation.
8a. Player reviews you submit
You may submit a review of your own experience with a casino. By submitting, you confirm that you are of legal gambling age in your country, that the review describes your own experience, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish it on this website under the nickname you chose. Reviews are published only after moderation; we may hold, decline or later remove a review that is abusive, defamatory, advertising, spam, contains personal data about other people or links, or appears not to be a genuine experience. We do not edit review text. Player reviews express the views of their authors, not findings of SmarterCasinos, and never affect the Smarter Score. You can ask us to remove your own review at any time.
9. Limitation of liability
The website is provided free of charge and “as is”. We research carefully and show our sources, but we cannot guarantee that every fact is complete, current or error-free, and we are not responsible for the conduct of the casinos described. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for losses arising from your use of the website or from your dealings with any casino. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, or under mandatory consumer protection law.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the law of the country in which the operator is established. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country in which you live remain applicable, and nothing here restricts your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when we add new features or commercial relationships. The date of the latest version is shown on this page. Changes apply from the date of publication.
