Gambling law and licensing: the record, not the folklore.
These 18 answers are the reference class. They are not built over operator datasets and they do not ride the 30-day freshness clock, because a fact from 1638 does not go stale and pretending otherwise would teach the freshness gate that "stale" is negotiable. They carry a stricter contract instead: every date and every money figure that appears in the answer also appears in a cited fact with a named source and the date that source speaks to, enforced when the site builds rather than by intention. Where the sources disagree the answer says so instead of picking the tidier number, and that disagreement is usually the most useful sentence on the page.
These answers are history, law and mechanics rather than operator data, so they carry a different contract: every date and every figure is traceable to a named source.

Common questions
Does a licence mean a casino is safe?
It means a named authority has issued a permission, which is checkable and worth checking. It does not mean the authority publishes a named, dated enforcement history, and jurisdictions differ enormously on that. RAW groups regulators by whether an enforcement record is published at all, rather than compressing them into a single trust score.
Can a casino refuse to pay you?
Operators publish clauses letting them withhold or claw back money for a terms breach, and those clauses are the answer to this question rather than anything about the operator's reputation. RAW records the clause, its trigger and its stated consequence as typed fields so the shape can be counted rather than described.
How this topic is verified
Every answer collected here is built from operator documents or checkable public records, carries the date it was read, and is asserted against the dataset when this site builds: if the words and the data disagree, the build fails rather than the page going out wrong. The full criteria are on the method page, and the operators we refused to rate, with the reason, are on the refusals ledger.
Operators: reviews here are not permanent. You can request a re-evaluation every 3 months, publish a right of reply on any page about you, and see exactly what the criteria are before you ask. Details on the operators page.
