We’re an independent casino review and comparison site published by SIA AFF Marketing. We don’t call a casino brilliant unless it earns it — and we review the bad ones honestly, so you know exactly what to avoid.
BrilliantCasinos.com exists for one reason: most “top casino” lists are ranked by commission, not quality. We do it differently. Every casino we cover is tested by named people who open accounts, deposit, claim the bonus and request a withdrawal — then scored against a published method we let you audit. When a casino is good, we say so. When it isn’t, we say that too.
Why we're different
Real accounts, real deposits, real withdrawal tests — written by named reviewers, never anonymous content writers.
Five weighted dimensions and 27 checks, scored the same way every time and published in full on How We Rate.
We negotiate offers you won’t find elsewhere and check the wagering terms before we publish them — value over headline size.
Slow payouts, predatory wagering and weak licensing get flagged plainly — the bad casinos stay listed so you can recognise them.
Every casino gets a TrustScore out of 10, calculated the same way each time across five weighted dimensions. The two biggest — Licensing and Payments — carry more than half the score between them, because reliability and getting paid matter more than the size of a welcome offer.
We show the editorial TrustScore and the community Player Rating separately — we never average them, because the gap between the two often tells you more than either score alone. Every review carries a last-updated date, and we re-verify licences and key terms on each pass. The full method is public: read How We Rate and our Editorial Guidelines, including how to flag a correction.
Our reviews are written by named people who actually open accounts, deposit, claim the bonus and request withdrawals — not anonymous content writers. Here’s who we are.
With over four years in iGaming, I founded BrilliantCasinos to do the one thing most affiliate sites won’t: review casinos honestly, including the bad ones. I handle licensing checks, withdrawal and KYC testing, and bonus terms — the parts that decide whether a casino is actually worth your money.
Gambling is entertainment, but the risk of harm is real. Naming bad terms, slow payouts and predatory wagering isn’t a side note here — it’s the priority.
I review casinos and edit the site’s content with a focus on detail and accuracy — checking that bonus terms match what operators actually publish and that every claim on the page holds up.
I work across our English and German coverage as we expand into new markets, keeping the bar consistent in every language we publish.
Our model is simple, and we’d rather you hear it from us. We write genuinely good reviews and secure exclusive bonuses, so players choose BrilliantCasinos to find their next casino and keep coming back to discover more. Because of that audience, operators pay us through paid placements, listing fees and commissions.
What money can — and can't — buy here
Everything on this site comes back to two principles:
Yes. We’re published by SIA AFF Marketing and have been online since early 2023. Operators can pay for visibility, but never for a higher score or ranking — our editorial guidelines keep the two separate.
Through paid placements, listing fees and affiliate commissions from operators. It funds the site but doesn’t influence a single TrustScore or verdict.
Yes. Operators that fail our checks are rated honestly and kept on the site so players can recognise them. Hiding bad casinos would defeat the point of the platform.
Named members of our team who open real accounts, deposit, claim bonuses and test withdrawals — currently Roberts Terehovics and Anna Barinova, across English and German.
We welcome corrections. Our Editorial Guidelines explain how to flag an error, and every review shows a last-updated date so you can see when it was last checked.
