Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how maripolitan.com works, what you can expect from our content, and what we expect from anyone using the site. By browsing this site, including our coverage of new online casino sites, you agree to the terms set out below.

What this site is and isn't

Best Online Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource. We research and write about online casinos available to US players, including newly launched sites, and we present editorial ratings and offer details to help readers compare options. We are not a casino, we do not accept wagers, and we do not process deposits or withdrawals on behalf of any operator. Any gambling activity you engage in happens on the licensed operator's own site or app, under that operator's own terms.

Nothing on this site is financial, legal or professional advice. Where we describe a bonus, a payment method, or a licensing arrangement, that description is a summary for comparison purposes only — the operator's own terms and conditions always take precedence.

Commercial relationships and how rankings work

maripolitan.com may receive compensation when readers click through to, or sign up with, some of the operators listed on this site. That relationship never decides an operator's position or rating. We assess new online casino sites against factors such as licensing status, the clarity of bonus terms, the range of games and banking options on offer, and how straightforward the sign-up and verification process appears to be. Commission does not buy a higher position, and we do not accept payment in exchange for a favorable review.

For a full side-by-side look at how current new casino sites compare, see our Online Casinos: New US Casino Sites Compared page. That page names the operators we cover; this Terms page does not repeat those comparisons in detail.

Eligibility to use this site

This site is intended for adults who are legally permitted to view gambling-related content and, where relevant, to gamble online in their state. You must meet the minimum legal gambling age in your jurisdiction — commonly 21, though some gambling activities are governed by separate state-level age rules — before acting on anything you read here. Real-money online casino play is only lawful in states that have licensed and regulated it, and any operator you sign up with is responsible for confirming your location and eligibility before allowing you to deposit or play. If online gambling is not permitted where you live, this site's content should be treated as general information only, not an invitation to play.

Accuracy of the information we publish

We update casino details, bonus offers and ratings on this site periodically, but online casino terms — bonus percentages, wagering requirements, game restrictions, withdrawal limits, expiry dates — change frequently and without notice from the operator. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current, but we cannot guarantee that every detail on this site matches what you'll see on an operator's own site at the moment you visit it. Always confirm the current offer and its conditions directly with the casino, and read the operator's bonus terms in full before you claim anything, before you rely on this content to make a decision.

Responsible gambling

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not a way to make money, and the outcome of any casino game is never guaranteed. We encourage every reader to set deposit and time limits before playing, to avoid gambling with borrowed money, and to stop if it stops being enjoyable or starts affecting finances or wellbeing. Licensed US operators are generally required to offer self-exclusion programs, deposit and spending limits, and links to state and national support services. Our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on these tools and where to find support if you or someone you know needs it.

Security, accounts and third-party links

This site links out to third-party casino operators. We recommend only interacting with operators over an HTTPS-secured connection and using strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication where an operator offers it. We are not responsible for the content, security practices, or availability of third-party sites we link to, and following a link away from maripolitan.com means you are now subject to that operator's own privacy policy and terms.

Limitation of liability

maripolitan.com provides its content on an "as is" basis. We are not liable for any loss, financial or otherwise, arising from decisions made based on information found on this site, including losses incurred while gambling with any operator we mention. Users interact with third-party casinos entirely at their own risk and discretion.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our commercial relationships, or applicable regulation. The "updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
