About Us
Casino Sites exists because the online casino market moves fast. New brands launch every year, welcome offers change, and figuring out which sites are worth your time — let alone your money — takes real digging. We built this site to do that digging for readers in the United States, with a particular focus on new online casinos and what separates a genuinely solid launch from one that just has a flashy homepage.
What We Actually Do
We research licensed, regulated online casinos available to US players and compare them on the things that matter before you ever create an account: how the welcome bonus is structured, what it costs to play once the bonus terms kick in, how withdrawals actually work, and whether the operator is transparent about its licensing and game fairness. We do not play, deposit, or withdraw at these sites ourselves — our reviews are built from publicly available terms, licensing documentation, and operator disclosures, cross-checked and updated as offers and terms change.
Why We Cover New Online Casinos Specifically
Newer casino sites can be genuinely good value — sign-up incentives tend to be larger while an operator is trying to build a player base — but they also carry more unknowns. A brand with no track record hasn't yet shown how it handles withdrawal disputes, support volume, or platform stability under load. Our job is to flag both sides: what a new site offers on paper, and what a reader should verify before relying on it.
How the Options on This Site Are Assessed
Every casino listed on amanda-russell.com is evaluated against the same core criteria, regardless of how much it may or may not pay us in referral commission:
- Licensing and regulation — whether the operator discloses a valid gaming licence and what oversight applies
- Bonus terms — wagering requirements, game restrictions, expiry windows, and maximum withdrawal caps tied to the headline offer
- Banking options — the range and reliability of deposit and withdrawal methods available to US players
- Game fairness — use of certified random number generators and independent testing where the operator discloses it
- Site security — HTTPS encryption and account protection features
- Support quality — how accessible customer service channels are and what hours they cover
Commission arrangements never determine ranking position. A casino that pays us more does not move up the list; a casino with no commercial relationship with us at all can still rank if the underlying offer and terms hold up.
Where Our Rankings Come From
The offers you see ranked on this site — including current names such as Raging Bull, Uptown Aces, and Ignition — are assessed using the criteria above at the time of publication. Bonus percentages, spins, and deposit match figures change on operator sites without notice, so we recommend confirming the current terms directly on the casino's own promotions page before signing up. Editorial ratings shown alongside each offer reflect our own research, not customer reviews or independently audited scores.
Commercial Relationships, Handled Plainly
Some of the casinos listed on amanda-russell.com pay us a referral commission if a reader signs up through a link on this site. This does not cost the reader anything extra, and it does not influence how an operator is ranked or reviewed. We disclose this openly because we think readers deserve to know how a comparison site funds itself.
Responsible Gambling Comes First
Online casino games carry a built-in house edge, and no bonus, strategy, or "system" changes that. We do not present gambling as a way to make money, and we avoid language that suggests guaranteed wins or easy profits — because neither exists in games of chance. Before playing anywhere, we encourage readers to set a deposit and time limit, avoid gambling with borrowed money, and stop if it stops being enjoyable. For tools, self-exclusion programs, and links to support organizations, see our dedicated responsible gambling page.
Who Can Use the Sites We Cover
Online gambling in the US is regulated at the state level, and legal real-money play generally requires the player to be physically located within a state that permits it, meeting that state's minimum age requirement (typically 21, though some gambling activities set a lower age). Availability, licensing, and eligibility vary by state and by operator, so readers should confirm their own state's rules before creating an account anywhere.
Questions, Corrections, or Feedback
