Methodology

BUY OR BYE exists to give adults better information before they trust a casino. Our long-term asset is credibility, so our process is built to be transparent and evidence-based.

How we research

For every casino we verify, in order of priority, from: the regulator, the casino's official terms, official affiliate terms, official documentation, and reputable independent sources. Every commercial claim on a review is tied to a dated source. Where a fact cannot be verified, we mark it Unknown — we never invent it.

How we score

Each casino receives sub-scores for Trust, Games, Crypto, Withdrawals, Bonus and UX, combined into an overall BUY OR BYE Score and a verdict: Buy Caution Bye.

Editorial independence

Scoring is completely separate from any affiliate relationship. A casino can receive a BYE regardless of whether we earn a commission from it, and comparison winners are never influenced by commission. See our affiliate disclosure.

The Lab

Our calculators use standard, statistically defensible gambling mathematics and state their assumptions. Changing bet sizing changes variance and risk — it does not remove the underlying house edge. The tools are for education, not a promise of profit.
