How We Review and Rank Casinos

SifuCasino ranks casino brands on documented criteria, not on which operator pays the highest affiliate commission. This page explains exactly how.

Overall website usability

Verification Ladder

Every factual claim on SifuCasino carries a verification status: not yet researched → claimed (asserted, not independently checked) → documented (researched against the operator's own pages) → verified (cross-checked against an independent source) → tested (a real person performed the action, e.g. registered or withdrew, and recorded the result). We only mark something "tested" when it genuinely was.

Affiliate Relationships Don't Buy Rankings

SifuCasino earns commission when readers click through and register or deposit with a listed operator. That relationship never determines a casino's score or position on this site — scores are calculated from the criteria above.

Legal Status

No online casino currently holds a South African licence for remote/interactive casino games under the National Gambling Act. Operators featured on SifuCasino are offshore-licensed and accept South African players directly. This is different from holding a South African gambling licence. Legal status should be independently verified before playing.
