FAQ
What is GambleChief.com and how do I use it?
GambleChief.com is an independent review hub for online casinos, slot games and bonus offers. Simply browse our reviews, compare ratings and follow a verified link to the brand that suits you best.
Are your reviews really independent?
Yes. Every operator is tested against our published methodology before any commercial partnership is considered. Affiliate commissions never influence star ratings or editorial opinions.
How do you rate online casinos?
We score each casino on ten core factors: licence & regulation, security, game variety, software providers, bonus fairness, usability, mobile performance, customer support, payment options and long-term reputation. Details are explained in our “Our Review Process” page.
How often are your ratings updated?
Our team revisits every listed casino at least once per quarter—or immediately after a major change such as a new licence, bonus structure or ownership transfer. The “Last Updated” date appears at the top of each review.
Is it safe to play at the casinos you recommend?
We recommend only sites that hold recognised licences (e.g., UKGC, MGA), use SSL encryption and pass third-party fairness audits. While no online activity is risk-free, these measures greatly reduce the chance of fraud or unfair play.
Do I have to pay to use GambleChief?
No. The site is 100 % free for readers. We fund our work through clearly disclosed affiliate links that never add cost to your play.
Can I play demo games on your site?
Some slot reviews include “Play for Fun” demos supplied by the developer. When available, just click the demo button—no registration needed.
How old do I have to be to use your links?
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to visit partner casinos and claim bonuses listed here.
What are wagering requirements?
Wagering requirements tell you how many times you must bet a bonus amount (and sometimes deposit) before the winnings become withdrawable cash. Example: a 100 % bonus with 35× wagering on bonus means a $100 bonus must be wagered $3,500 before cash-out.
What’s the difference between RTP and volatility in slots?
RTP (Return to Player) is the long-term average percentage of stakes a game pays back. Volatility measures risk: low-volatility slots pay smaller wins more often, while high-volatility slots pay larger wins less frequently.
How do you choose “Casino of the Month”?
Each month we highlight the operator with the highest overall score plus at least one standout feature—exceptional customer service, an innovative bonus or a big software upgrade. The selection process is documented and repeatable.
Do you offer responsible-gambling tools or advice?
Yes. Every casino we list must provide deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion. Our Responsible Gambling page links to GamCare, BeGambleAware and other support organisations.
Do affiliate links change the price or odds I receive?
No. Commissions are paid by the operator, not the player. Your odds, payouts and bonus sizes remain exactly the same whether you use our link or go direct.
