Terms and Conditions – US Online Casinos

How This Site Works and What You Should Know Before Using It

playatrealmoneycasinos.com is an independent comparison and review platform focused on online casinos available to residents of the United States. The pages on this site are designed to help adults make more informed decisions before choosing where to play. By reading and using this site you accept the terms set out below. Please read them before acting on anything you find here.

Who We Are and What We Do

We are a comparison publisher, not a casino operator. We do not accept bets, hold funds, issue licences or process payments. Everything on this site — rankings, write-ups, ratings and recommendations — is editorial content based on research and analysis. We are not affiliated with any government gambling regulator, and nothing here constitutes legal advice.

Our editorial team researches and reviews online casino operators listed under our highest-RTP casino guide, assessing licensing, game fairness, payment methods, bonus terms and player protections. We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at every site we cover. Where we say "researched" or "reviewed", we mean desk research, verification of publicly available licence records and analysis of published terms — not first-hand gameplay testing.

Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure

This site earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. If you follow a link from this site to a casino and create an account, we may receive a commission from that operator. This does not affect the price you pay or the offer you receive.

Commercial relationships do not decide rankings or ratings. Operators cannot pay for a higher editorial score, a more favourable write-up or preferred placement. Our editorial positions are set independently of whether an operator has an affiliate agreement with us. Any site that fails to meet our minimum standards for licensing, fairness and player protections will not appear on these pages regardless of commercial arrangements.

Offers shown — including welcome bonuses, free spins and deposit matches — are sourced from the operators themselves and are subject to change. We make reasonable efforts to keep them current, but you must verify the current terms directly with the operator before claiming anything.

Accuracy, Currency and Errors

We aim to keep all information on this site accurate and up to date. However, the online casino market changes quickly. Offers are withdrawn, terms are amended, licences are updated and operators change their payment methods. The fact-check date shown at the top of each page indicates when the information was last reviewed, not a guarantee that every detail remains correct at the moment you read it.

Always read the operator's own terms and conditions before depositing or claiming a bonus.
Confirm a casino's current licence status directly with the relevant regulator before playing.
If you spot an error or an outdated detail, please use our Contact Us page to let us know.

We accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of information that has changed since the page was last updated.

Eligibility — Who May Use This Site and Who May Gamble Online

This site is intended for adults only. In the United States, the minimum legal gambling age is 21 for most forms of gambling, including online casino play, in the states where it is legal. Some states set a lower threshold for specific activities such as lottery products, but casino-style games are generally restricted to those aged 21 and over. You are responsible for knowing and following the law in your state.

Online casino gambling is not legal in every US state. The legal landscape varies significantly:

A small number of states — including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut and Delaware — have fully regulated online casino markets.
Other states permit sports betting but not online casino games.
Some states prohibit all forms of online gambling entirely.
Even where a site is technically accessible, players are typically required to be physically located within the state at the time of play, not merely resident there. Operators use geolocation technology to enforce this.

It is your responsibility to establish whether online casino gambling is legal where you are located before registering with any operator. This site does not provide legal advice and does not verify your eligibility on your behalf.

No Guarantee of Winnings or Outcomes

Online casino games are games of chance. Every game covered on this site carries a built-in house edge, which means the operator has a statistical advantage over time. Return to Player (RTP) figures cited on this site are long-term statistical averages across many thousands of rounds — they do not predict what any individual player will win or lose in any session.

Nothing on this site constitutes a promise, prediction or guarantee of winnings. We do not endorse any strategy that claims to beat the house consistently. No system, betting pattern or selection of games eliminates the house edge or guarantees profit.

Bonus Terms and Conditions

Welcome bonuses, deposit matches, free spins and ongoing promotions listed on this site are subject to the operator's own terms. Material conditions typically include:

Wagering requirements — the number of times a bonus must be played through before winnings become withdrawable. These commonly range from 20x to 50x or higher.
Expiry dates — most bonuses and free spin winnings expire within a set number of days if the wagering requirement is not met.
Game restrictions — some games may be excluded from wagering contribution, or may count at a reduced rate (e.g. table games contributing 10% of stakes toward a slots-based requirement).
Maximum withdrawal caps — some bonuses limit the amount you can withdraw from winnings generated with bonus funds.
Deposit minimums — a qualifying deposit is usually required to trigger a welcome offer, and the minimum amount varies by operator.

Always read the operator's full bonus terms before opting in. If a term conflicts between what we show and what the operator publishes, the operator's version governs.

Payment Methods, Banking and Verification

The casinos reviewed on this site accept a range of deposit and withdrawal methods commonly available to US players, which may include ACH bank transfers, debit cards, cryptocurrency, digital wallets, online banking and cash at partner locations. Processing times, fees and available methods differ by operator and by state.

Before any withdrawal is processed, operators will require identity verification — commonly called KYC (Know Your Customer). This typically means providing a government-issued photo ID, proof of address and sometimes proof of the payment method used. Delays in verification can delay withdrawals. Submit documents promptly and accurately to avoid hold-ups.

We do not process, hold or have any involvement in financial transactions between you and an operator.

Security and Data

This site uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. We do not collect financial information. Any personal data you submit — for example through a contact form — is handled in accordance with our privacy policy. We recommend that you also use strong, unique passwords for any casino account you create, and enable two-factor authentication where the operator supports it.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a reliable source of income. If it stops being enjoyable, or if you notice it affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, please seek support. The following resources are available to US players:

National Problem Gambling Helpline — 1-800-522-4700 (available 24/7 by call, text or chat at ncpgambling.org)
Gamblers Anonymous — ga.org
State-level self-exclusion programmes — most regulated states maintain a self-exclusion register. Contact your state's gaming control board to enrol.

We strongly encourage all players to:

Set deposit, loss and session time limits before starting play.
Never gamble with borrowed money or funds needed for essential expenses.
Take regular breaks and treat gambling as one leisure activity among many.
Use the responsible gambling tools provided by the operator — these are required in regulated markets and include deposit caps, cool-off periods and self-exclusion.

More guidance is available on our Responsible Gambling page.
