How we rank new casinos

Our new-casino rankings only include casinos founded this year or in the two years before. Within that group, the order comes from the same inputs for every casino, adjusted for what accepts players from Ghana.

In short

  1. Age

    Only casinos whose stated founding year is this year or one of the two before enter a new-casino ranking.

  2. Inputs

    Licence, terms, welcome offer, games and studios, payment methods and the countries a casino accepts.

  3. Market

    Casinos that exclude Ghana are not ranked for Ghanaian players.

  4. Money

    Commission is not an input, and it does not change check results.

So what

What it means for you

  • First place is a comparison

    A top position means a casino compares well on our inputs. It does not give a new brand a history.

  • Age is visible on every row

    Each casino shows its founding year and the date it joined our list.

  • Check before you deposit

    Use the six checks on each review, starting with the licence on the regulator's register.

Full text

The order of casinos on this site comes from one ranking method used across the CasinoRank network. It uses the same inputs for every casino and is adjusted for the market. An age filter comes first: only new casinos can enter a new-casino ranking.

Which casinos count as new

A casino counts as new when the founding year it states is this calendar year or one of the two before. That gives three age bands, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3, shown as a stamp on every casino. Older casinos, and casinos that state no founding year, keep their review but do not enter new-casino rankings.

What decides the order

  • The licence the casino states, and whether it can be found on the regulator's register.
  • The casino's terms, including bonus and withdrawal rules.
  • The welcome offer as stated by the casino.
  • The games and studios it lists.
  • The payment methods it lists, including cedi and mobile money options.
  • Whether it accepts players from Ghana.

No single input decides a place.

When a ranking changes

A position changes when an input changes: a new or lost licence, new terms, a different offer or a change in the countries accepted. Positions also shift as newer casinos join our list, and a casino leaves the new-casino rankings when its founding year falls outside the three-year window.

What we do not use

Commission is not an input. We earn money when you sign up at some casinos through our links, but that does not move a casino up or down. We do not sell placements in our rankings. The per-casino checks are on how we review.

Questions about our rankings

Which casinos can appear in your new-casino rankings?

Casinos whose stated founding year is this year or one of the two before.

Why can rankings differ between countries?

Rankings only include casinos that accept players from the country, so a casino that excludes Ghana is not ranked here.

Can a casino pay to rank higher?

No. Commission is not an input to the ranking.

Why did a casino drop?

Usually because a fact changed, or newer and stronger casinos joined our list.

Is the casino in first place the safest?

Not necessarily. A ranking cannot give a new brand a track record; run the checks on its review first.
