We have tested hundreds of platforms over every gaming vertical available in the US—online casinos, sweeps sites, online horse racing, online poker, prediction markets, online sports betting, and more. Here are our reviews of some of the biggest names in the industry:
We run every platform we test through a consistent process:
Sign up and verify
Fund account and claim offers
Min. 1 hour across genres
Using all available methods (live chat, email, phone)
If possible, given $20 testing budget
Assign scores and publish
Testing must span at least two hours across multiple days to verify accuracy.
We then score each platform across criteria that matter to players, based on our real experience with the product (as well as informed by feedback from other player forums). Our goal is that you can find the right fit for you.
We retest online gaming websites and apps constantly to ensure that we are giving the most up-to-date information.
You can read all about how we rate online gaming and online gambling operators on the PlayUSA review process page.

We never recommend illegal, offshore sites for two reasons: 1. Those sites are often very shady. 2. If you have any problems with those sites, you have nowhere you can turn for assistance.
By contrast, the sites recommended on PlayUSA are regulated by entities such as the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and the Michigan Gaming Control Board. And PlayUSA complies with their regulations, just as the operators do.
Online casino games are designed to provide entertainment, and they should always be enjoyed in moderation. We encourage all readers to approach online gambling responsibly and offer various tools and insights to help them stay on track.
