Terms and Conditions | Online Casino Sites

These terms and conditions set out the rules for using redcarpetrefs.com, what our content is and is not, and what you agree to when you read our online casino comparisons or follow a link to an operator. Please read them before you rely on anything published here. By browsing the site you accept the terms below, current as of Sep 25, 2026.

The short version: Online Casino Sites is an independent publisher, not a gambling operator. We do not take deposits, accept bets, hold player funds or pay out winnings. Every account you open is a contract between you and the casino, governed by that casino's own terms and conditions — not ours.

Who may use this site

Access to redcarpetrefs.com is restricted to adults who are legally permitted to gamble where they are physically located. In the US that generally means:

You are at least 21 years old, or 18 where the state in question sets that as the minimum for the product concerned.
You are located in a jurisdiction where the activity you are researching is lawful. Online casino legality is decided state by state, not federally, and a site accepting registrations from a state is not the same thing as being authorized to serve that state.
You are not on a state or operator self-exclusion list. If you are, do not use the links on this site. Our responsible gambling resources explain how self-exclusion, deposit caps and loss limits work.
You are not accessing the site on behalf of a minor, and you do not share your device or accounts with anyone under the legal age.

We cannot verify your age, location or eligibility. That responsibility sits with you and, at the point of registration, with the operator's identity and location checks.

How we make money, and what that does not buy

Online Casino Sites earns revenue from affiliate arrangements. If you click a link on this page or elsewhere on the site, open an account and deposit, the operator may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra as a result.

Commercial relationships do not decide editorial ratings or rank order. Operators cannot buy a position, a score or the removal of a criticism. Where a brand has a weakness that matters — restrictive bonus terms, slow payouts, limited state coverage — we say so regardless of whether we have a commercial relationship with it. Our ratings are editorial opinions formed from published information and operator documentation; they are not customer-review scores and they are not survey results.

What our rankings actually mean

The ratings shown against each brand are our own editorial scores on a 10-point scale. They are research-based. We review licensing information, published terms, game catalogs, banking pages and promotional rules. We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at any operator, and nothing on this site should be read as a report of personal play.

The factors we weigh:

Terms transparency — whether wagering requirements, maximum bonus bets, bonus expiry dates and cashout caps are published clearly rather than buried.
Banking — stated minimum deposits, withdrawal limits, fees and processing timeframes.
Verification practice — how KYC, source-of-funds and withdrawal verification are described before you sign up rather than after you win.
Game range — slots, progressive jackpots, table games and live dealer rooms, plus named software providers and published RTP information.
Player protection — self-exclusion tools, deposit and loss limits, and a documented complaints procedure.

Scores change. A brand rated highly today may be re-rated if its terms tighten, its payout limits drop or its availability changes.

Offer terms are the operator's, not ours

We publish headline offers as the operator advertises them. We do not set them, control them or guarantee them. Below are three examples from our current list, with the conditions you would need to check before treating any of them as good value. These are illustrations of how to read a promotion, not endorsements of a particular deal.

Raging Bull — 410% up to $10,000 + 50 free spins

It sits at the top of our list mainly because its match percentage and headline ceiling are among the largest we cover, and because its promotional rules are set out in reasonable detail. The practical point for a reader: a 410% match is only reachable at the top end if you deposit heavily, and the free spins element is normally tied to specific titles. Limitation: large-percentage match bonuses of this type typically carry high playthrough and a maximum cashout cap, which can mean the advertised $10,000 figure bears little relation to what can actually be withdrawn. Check the playthrough multiple, the maximum bet allowed while a bonus is live and the expiry window before depositing.

Magician Bet — 101% no wagering

Included because a no-wagering structure is the single clearest bonus term a reader can be offered: what you win is withdrawable without playthrough. That removes the most common source of disputes. Limitation: no-wagering offers are usually smaller in absolute terms, and "no wagering" does not always mean no conditions at all — minimum deposit, minimum withdrawal, eligible games and expiry can still apply. Read whether the bonus funds themselves or only the winnings are free of requirements.

Slots of Vegas — 375% bonus + 50 free spins on Cash Chaser

It earns its place because the free spins are tied to a named game rather than an unspecified pool, which makes the offer easier to evaluate. Limitation: game-specific spins mean your winnings depend on one title's RTP and volatility, and spin winnings are frequently credited as bonus funds with their own playthrough and cashout limit. Confirm the per-spin value and whether spin winnings are capped.

Other brands on our list — Uptown Aces, Card Crush, Zumba Cards, BetUS, Amazon Jackpots, Slots and Casino and Bets.FM — are covered on our comparison pages. Note that some of these run sweepstakes-style models denominated in coins or Sweeps Coins rather than dollar deposits, which changes how redemption works entirely. Do not assume a coin-based promotion converts to cash on the same terms as a dollar deposit bonus.

Comparing the headline structures

Brand	Advertised offer	Editorial rating	What to check first
Raging Bull	410% up to $10,000 + 50 free spins	10.0	Playthrough and maximum cashout
Magician Bet	101% no wagering	9.8	Whether bonus funds or only winnings are wager-free
Slots of Vegas	375% + 50 free spins on Cash Chaser	9.6	Spin value and cap on spin winnings
Uptown Aces	600% for new players	9.6	Minimum deposit and eligible games
BetUS	200% up to $4,000	9.2	Rollover across casino and sportsbook
Zumba Cards	250% deposit bonus up to 250 SC	9.2	How Sweeps Coins are redeemed

Figures are as advertised on the dates we checked them. Operators change promotions without notice. If what you see at the casino differs from what you see here, the casino's published terms govern.

Money: what it costs you and how we are paid

Using redcarpetrefs.com costs nothing. There is no subscription, no paywall and no fee for any comparison, guide or rating. We are paid by operators, as described above, and never by readers.

Money you commit at a casino is a separate matter, and one we have no part in. Typical US deposit and payout routes include debit cards, credit cards (many issuers decline gambling transactions), ACH or e-check, online bank transfer, prepaid cards, cash-at-cage at a partner property and, at some operators, PayPal. Availability varies by brand and by state — verify on the operator's own banking page rather than assuming. Points to confirm before you deposit:

Minimum deposit and whether it is high enough to qualify for the promotion you want.
Minimum withdrawal, which is often higher than the minimum deposit.
Withdrawal limits per transaction, per day, per week and per month, plus any cap that applies specifically to bonus winnings.
Fees on either direction, including fees charged by your bank rather than the casino.
Timing — a pending or reversal period before processing begins, then the processing time for your chosen method. Advertised speeds are operator claims, not results we have measured.
Verification — KYC documents, and for larger sums source-of-funds checks. Submitting documents early usually prevents a first-withdrawal delay.

If a payout is refused or delayed, use the operator's complaints procedure first, then escalate to the state regulator that licenses it. We cannot intervene in a withdrawal dispute, recover funds, unlock an account or override a KYC decision. Requests of that kind sent through our contact page will be answered only with a pointer to the right escalation route.

Games and content we describe

Our guides cover the main categories you will meet: slots including progressive jackpots, table games such as blackjack, roulette and baccarat, live dealer rooms streamed with human croupiers, and video poker or specialty titles where an operator offers them. We describe game types, software providers, published RTP figures, volatility characteristics and how random number generators underpin outcomes.

None of that is a prediction. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure across enormous numbers of rounds; it tells you nothing about a session. Nothing on this site is a strategy that improves your expected return, and no content here should be read as a suggestion that gambling is a way to make money or manage a financial problem. If you want an explanation of how these categories interact with promotions, our page on no-deposit free spins and related rewards covers game weighting in more depth.

The other products these operators run

Several brands we list are not casino-only. BetUS, for example, advertises a welcome bonus that a reader may encounter alongside sportsbook activity, and some operators run poker rooms, horse racing wagering or sweepstakes card products beside their casino floor. Card Crush, Zumba Cards and Amazon Jackpots present coin- and card-based rewards rather than conventional dollar deposit bonuses.

These adjacent products usually carry different rules: separate rollover calculations, separate wallets, different state availability and different redemption mechanics. A casino bonus rarely clears through sports bets at the same rate, and sweepstakes coin balances are redeemed under their own promotional rules rather than withdrawn like a cash balance. Our coverage focuses on the casino side; where we mention another product line, treat it as context and check that product's own terms.

Licensing, regulation and the limits of what we can tell you

There is no single federal online casino license in the US. Real-money online casino gaming is authorized state by state, by state gaming commissions and control boards, and is available only in a minority of states. Federal law addresses matters such as interstate transmission of wagers and payment processing, but it is state regulation that determines whether a given operator may lawfully offer you an account.

What follows for you as a reader:

Check the operator's stated license and the regulator named on it, and confirm it covers your state.
Understand that promotional availability, payment methods and even game selection can differ between states under the same brand.
Remember that accepting a registration from your state does not establish that an operator is authorized there.
Keep records of deposits, withdrawals and correspondence; they are what a regulator will ask for if you complain.

We make no representation that any brand listed on redcarpetrefs.com is licensed in your state, and we describe no casino as completely safe. We do not guarantee winnings, payouts, bonus eligibility or account approval. Gambling winnings may be taxable — consult a qualified tax professional rather than relying on anything here.

Accuracy, changes and liability

We research carefully and date our findings, but offers, terms, payment options and state availability change frequently and sometimes without notice. Content is provided on an "as is" basis for information only. Nothing here is legal, financial or tax advice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Online Casino Sites accepts no liability for losses arising from gambling, from reliance on information published here, or from your dealings with any third-party operator.

Text, ratings, tables and page structure on redcarpetrefs.com are our property and may not be copied or republished without permission. We may link to external sites we do not control and are not responsible for their content. We may update these terms at any time; the version shown on this page, with the date displayed above, is the one in force. Continued use after a change means you accept it. More about who we are and how we work sits on our about page.

Questions about these terms

If something here is unclear, or you believe a figure we have published is out of date, tell us through the contact form and point to the specific page. We correct errors when they are shown to us. For account, payment or bonus problems at a casino, contact that operator's support team first and then its regulator — those are the only routes that can resolve them.
