Gamblib is a reference desk for online casino games and the operators that host them. Every page here exists to answer one question a player actually asks — what this game does, what this bonus costs, which regulator stands behind this licence — and to answer it from material anyone can go and check.

What this site is

The second is a set of operator and bonus pages that describe the terms an account is opened under — wagering, validity, game weighting, withdrawal caps — in the wording the operator itself publishes.

Around them are guides and comparison hubs: casino shortlists, free-play pages, jackpot trackers, bonus explainers and the news desk. The full index of every address on the site is the site archive.

How we work

Documents first
A figure lands on the page when a primary document carries it: the operator’s terms, the licence register, the studio’s own game sheet. No document, no figure — the field is left out rather than filled with an estimate.
One rating method
Operators are scored on the same axes in the same order, and the method is written down in public on how we rate. Nothing is scored on a hunch, and nothing is scored on a metric we cannot show you.
Dated, not decorated
Terms move. Every page carries the date it was last checked, and pages whose facts have gone stale are corrected or pulled instead of being quietly left up.
Safety over yield
A licence we cannot find in a regulator’s register is a disqualifier, no matter what the welcome offer looks like. Unlicensed brands are not listed here.
Commercial links, marked
Some outbound links to operators earn this site a commission. They sit in the same rating order as everything else: a commission can buy a link, it cannot buy a position, a score or a missing negative.
Written by the desk
Pages are written and revised by the Gamblib editorial desk. We do not publish invented play sessions, invented testers or personal by-lines that no one stands behind.

How a game page is built

Every slot, table and video poker page on the site is filled in the same order, from the same kinds of document, so two pages can be read against each other without guessing which field means what. The studio and the release come from the developer’s own catalogue. The reel layout, the number of paylines or ways to win, the bet range and the feature list come from the paytable and help screens shipped inside the game itself. The return-to-player figure comes from that same paytable, and where a studio ships one title in several return configurations — which is common, and which operators are free to choose between — the page says which configurations exist instead of printing one of them as though it were the only one.

Fields with no document behind them stay empty. A game whose studio publishes no volatility rating gets a description of how the pay table behaves rather than a made-up label; a jackpot page states when the pool figure was read, because the number is only true at a moment. Screens and artwork are the publisher’s own. Where a game has been withdrawn or a studio has renamed it, the page stays at its address and says what happened, because a reader who followed a link from somewhere else deserves an answer rather than a redirect into a shortlist.

How the library is organised

Pages are grouped three ways at once, and the same page can sit in all three. By studio, so a developer’s whole catalogue on the site is one click away. By subject — free play, progressive jackpots, bonus types, payment routes, casino guides — so a question can be followed without knowing a brand name first. And by date on the news desk, which is where anything time-bound goes: rule changes, licence decisions, new releases. Nothing is left reachable only through a search box: every address on the site is listed in at least one of those groupings, and all of them in the archive index.

What you will not find here

No claimed winnings, no screenshots of sessions that cannot be verified, no “tested for fairness” stamp of our own invention — fairness testing is the job of the licensing bodies and the accredited laboratories, and where a game or an operator has been through one, we name the body instead of taking credit for it. No countdown timers on bonus offers that do not expire. No numbers with nothing behind them.

Corrections and contact

If a figure on this site is out of date or wrong, that is a defect and we want it reported: write to us through the contact page with the address of the page and what it should say. Requests about personal data are handled under our privacy policy; the terms for using the site are on the legal page.
