Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions set out the rules for using eyesontherise.org, the site published as US Online Casino Sites. They explain what our comparisons of high-payout online casinos are intended to do, what they cannot do, how we make money, and what you agree to when you read our pages or follow a link from them. Reading the site means you accept what follows. If you do not accept it, please stop using the site.
Last reviewed: Sep 26, 2026. We update this page when our commercial arrangements, editorial process or legal position change.
What this site is and what it is not
US Online Casino Sites is an independent publisher of research-based reviews and guides about online casinos available to players in the United States. We write about bonuses, wagering requirements, payout rates, banking, licensing and state availability.
We are not a casino. We do not take deposits, hold player funds, run games, issue bonuses or process withdrawals. We are not an agent of any operator, we cannot open or close an account for you, and we cannot release a payment that an operator has held.
Nothing on the site is legal, financial or tax advice. Whether you may legally play, and which operators are authorized to serve you, depends on the state you are physically located in. That is a question for the relevant state regulator and, if the stakes justify it, a lawyer — not for a comparison site.
Age and eligibility
The site is intended for adults aged 21 or over. Most US states that license online casino play set the minimum age at 21, and some set it at 18 for certain products. Whichever applies where you are, you must meet the legal minimum age in your own jurisdiction before you use this site or register with any operator we write about.
Regulated online casino play in the US is authorized state by state. Accepting a customer is not the same thing as being licensed to serve that customer. Before you deposit anywhere, confirm the operator holds a licence issued by the gaming regulator in your state, and expect to be geolocated each time you log in. If you are outside a state where that operator is licensed, play will be blocked — that is the system working as intended, not a fault.
How we are paid, and what that does not buy
We earn commission. When you click through to an operator from our pages and open an account, the operator may pay us a referral fee or a share of revenue. That is how a free-to-read comparison site funds its research.
What commercial arrangements do not do:
- They do not buy a position in a ranking or a top list.
- They do not buy a higher editorial rating.
- They do not remove a drawback from a review or soften a warning about bonus terms.
- They do not stop us covering an operator we have nothing good to say about, or omitting one that pays well.
Some operators we cover pay us nothing at all. Where a page carries commercial links, we say so on that page as well as here. You can read more about who writes the site and how we approach it on our about us page.
Accuracy, dates and the limits of research
Our reviews are based on research and verification against operator terms, regulator registers and published game information. We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at the casinos we write about, and you should treat any comparison site that implies otherwise with caution.
Casino terms move quickly. A welcome offer, a wagering multiplier, a maximum bonus bet, a bonus expiry window, a cashout cap, a minimum deposit, a withdrawal limit or a list of accepted payment methods can all change without notice, and often do. Return to player figures we quote are the published theoretical percentages for a game or a game set, measured over very large numbers of spins or hands — they describe long-run design, not what any individual session will pay. Advertised withdrawal times are what the operator states, not results we have measured.
We date our findings so you can judge how fresh they are. Even so, the operator's own current terms and conditions are always the authority. Where our page and the casino's terms disagree, the casino's terms govern your account. Read them before you deposit, particularly the sections on bonus eligibility, excluded games, maximum bets while a bonus is active, and identity verification.
Where we can be wrong
| What we publish | How to treat it |
|---|---|
| Editorial ratings and rankings | Our opinion, based on stated criteria. Not a customer-review score and not a prediction of your experience. |
| Bonus terms and wagering requirements | Accurate as of the review date. Confirm against the operator's current terms before opting in. |
| RTP and volatility figures | Published theoretical values from the game supplier. Long-run averages, not session outcomes. |
| Payment methods and payout timings | As advertised by the operator. Actual timing depends on verification, method and your bank. |
| Licensing and state availability | Checked against regulator sources where available. Availability changes; verify for your state. |
Money matters we cannot control
Everything to do with your money sits between you and the operator. That includes minimum deposits, deposit and withdrawal limits, minimum withdrawal amounts, any fees charged on a payment method, currency handling on USD accounts, and how long a payout takes to reach a debit card, bank account via ACH or an e-wallet. It also includes whether a particular method — a credit card, a bank transfer, PayPal — is available to you at all, since availability varies by operator, by issuer and by state.
Regulated US casinos are required to verify identity. Expect know-your-customer checks at registration or before a first withdrawal, and expect source-of-funds questions on larger or unusual transactions. These checks are a legal obligation on the operator, not an excuse to stall you, but they do add time. Keep your name, address and payment details consistent across your account and your documents, because mismatches are the most common reason a withdrawal is delayed.
Bonus money carries its own conditions: wagering requirements expressed as a multiple, a cap on what you can cash out from bonus winnings, a maximum bet while wagering is outstanding, and an expiry date. Breaching any of them can void the bonus and any winnings from it. We explain how these work across the site, including in our guide to online casinos with the highest payouts, but the operator's wording decides your case.
If a payment or a bonus dispute goes wrong, the route is: the operator's complaints procedure first, in writing; then, if it is unresolved, the state regulator that licensed the operator, or whichever alternative dispute resolution body the operator's terms name. We can point you toward that process, but we have no standing in it and we cannot arbitrate, compensate or recover funds.
Gambling risk and responsible play
Gambling costs money. The house edge is built into every game, whether that is a high-RTP slot, a blackjack table, roulette, baccarat or a live-dealer room. Losing is the ordinary outcome and no page on this site should be read as suggesting otherwise. We make no guarantee of winnings, of a successful withdrawal, or that any operator is completely safe.
Never treat gambling as income or as a way out of financial difficulty. Use the tools regulated operators are required to offer: deposit and loss limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion. Blocking software on your devices is a further option if you want a harder barrier.
If play has stopped being entertainment, free confidential help is available in the US through the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline on 1-800-522-4700, which operates 24 hours a day by call and text. Our responsible gambling page sets out the tools and support routes in more detail.
Using our content
The text, structure, ratings and original graphics on eyesontherise.org belong to us or to our licensors. You are welcome to read, print and share pages for your own use, and to quote short extracts with a clear credit and a link back. You may not republish pages in bulk, scrape the site for a competing product, or present our ratings as your own.
Brand names, logos and trademarks belonging to operators, regulators or game suppliers remain theirs. We use them to identify what we are writing about; that use does not imply any partnership or endorsement beyond the commercial disclosure above.
Links to other sites
Our pages link to casino operators, regulators and support organizations. Once you leave eyesontherise.org, you are on someone else's site, governed by their terms and privacy policy. We check destinations when we publish, but we do not control them and we are not responsible for their content, their offers or how they handle your data. Read the terms where you land.
Liability
We publish the site on an "as is" basis. We put real work into accuracy, but we do not warrant that every detail is current or error-free, or that the site will always be available.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for gambling losses, for a bonus that was forfeited under an operator's terms, for a delayed or refused withdrawal, for an account closure, or for any loss arising from a decision you made based on something you read here. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Changes, governing law and contact
We may revise these terms at any time. The version published on this page is the one that applies, and the review date at the top tells you when it was last checked. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised version.
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which the publisher is established. State gambling law remains a separate matter and depends entirely on where you are located when you play.
Questions about anything on this page, a correction to a review, or a complaint about our coverage can go through our contact page. We read everything sent to us, and corrections that hold up get made. What we cannot do is intervene in your relationship with a casino — for that, start with the operator's own complaints procedure and escalate to your state regulator if it stalls.
