How We Rate Casinos
Class777 evaluates online casinos for Australian players using a weighted set of criteria. Each area below contributes to the final score, with licensing and regulation carrying the most weight.
1. Licensing & Regulation
We first check that a casino holds a current licence from a recognised authority such as the Malta Gaming Authority, United Kingdom Gambling Commission, Curaçao eGaming, or an Australian state or territory regulator. Operating without proper oversight lowers the score immediately.
2. Game Selection & Software Providers
We examine the game library for slots, live casino tables, and classic table games. Strong ratings go to casinos offering titles from established software studios, fair RNG outcomes, and regularly updated lobbies.
3. Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements
We read the full terms and conditions for each promotion, focusing on rollover rates, game weightings, time limits, maximum cashout caps, and excluded payment methods. Clear and fair conditions improve the score; hidden restrictions reduce it.
4. Payment Methods & Withdrawal Speed
We assess deposit and withdrawal options including cryptocurrencies, e-wallets, bank transfers, and card payments. Faster payout processing, reasonable limits, low fees, and clear verification steps earn higher ratings.
5. Customer Support
We test support channels through live chat, email, and any available phone line. Casinos with 24/7 live chat, short response times, and knowledgeable agents receive more points.
6. Mobile Experience
We open the casino on smartphones and tablets to check responsive design, loading speed, touch-friendly navigation, and dedicated iOS or Android apps where offered.
7. Responsible Gaming Tools
We look for deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion, and direct links to help services. A casino that provides these controls scores higher.
8. Our Rating Scale
Each casino receives a 1–10 score based on the weighted criteria above. A score of 9–10 means excellent all-round performance; 7–8 is very good with minor weaknesses; 5–6 is average; 3–4 has significant concerns; 1–2 indicates serious problems or unsafe practices.
