Eighteen Sites, Four Tiers
We funded an account at every operator, cleared each redemption floor on free entries and timed a real withdrawal. Then we graded them S to C on what a new player actually gets.

Tiers come from the redeemable credit against the floor and the measured payout time. The review score is separate, and sometimes disagrees.

Why A Tier List And Not A Top Eighteen
A ranked list implies that the gap between third and fourth is meaningful. Usually it is not. What is meaningful is the gap between a site that lets you file a withdrawal on your first evening and one that needs a fortnight of daily bonuses first, and a tier list puts those two experiences in different boxes where they belong.
Three sites earn S tier: LoneStar and SpinBlitz credit past their own floors, and Mega Bonanza pays inside a day from the lowest floor on the board. Four sit in A tier with strong credit and a cashier under 35 hours. Five are B tier, good sites with one weak measurement. Six are C tier, where the credit is tiny, the cashier is slow, or both.
The grade and the score are different things
SplashCoins scores 4.8 out of 5 as a site and lands in B tier as an offer, because a two coin redeemable credit behind a 75 coin floor is a nine day grind whatever the lobby looks like. Pickem scores 4.4 and also lands in B, on the strength of a fifty coin credit.
Gold Coins cannot lift a tier
Play money is unlimited, free to issue and impossible to redeem. It makes the free days more fun and has no effect on whether you are paid.
Grades are reviewed quarterly
All eighteen accounts are re-run on fresh sign-ups four times a year. A doubled payout time or a raised floor can drop a site a full tier, and every change is dated.
How A Grade Is Earned
Four steps at every operator, identical each time.
Fund it ourselves
Every account opened in our own name with our own money. No comped balances and no advance notice to the operator.
Record the credit
What the banner promised in one column, what actually landed in the next. Only the second figure is graded.
Clear the floor free
Daily bonuses, promos and postal entries only, until the balance reaches the redemption floor. Days counted.
Time the cashier
A real withdrawal, timed from filing to funds received. This decides whether a site holds its tier.
About The Grades
What separates S from A?
S tier either credits a balance that clears its own floor on day one, or settles a withdrawal inside 24 hours. A tier is strong on credit with a cashier under 35 hours.
Why is a 4.8 site in B tier?
Because the grade is not the score. SplashCoins is a good site with a two coin redeemable credit and a nine day grind, which is a B tier experience.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. Every site graded here runs a free entry route and every figure was produced without a purchase.
Why do Gold Coins not lift a grade?
They cannot be redeemed. Unlimited play money has no bearing on whether you get paid.
How often are grades reviewed?
Quarterly, on fresh accounts. A slower cashier or a raised floor can drop a site a full tier.
