Lolajackcasino.com is an independent review site. We are a small editorial team of casino writers and payments specialists, and we are not the Lolajack casino, its operator or its licensee. This page explains exactly how we test a casino and turn what we find into a score, so you can judge our Lolajack review for yourself.
Who does the testing
Every review is written by a named author who has used the casino with their own account, then checked by a second editor. Our Lolajack review is written by James Beckett, an iGaming journalist with more than eight years of experience, and fact-checked by Hannah Ellis, who focuses on payments and bonus terms. Neither holds shares in, or works for, any gambling operator.
Our testing process
We do not score a casino from its marketing pages. For each review we:
- Open a real account from a supported country, using the normal public sign-up form, and note how long registration takes and what data is requested.
- Complete verification (KYC) with genuine documents, recording which documents are asked for and how long approval takes.
- Deposit real money with at least two methods, usually a card and an e-wallet, and check for fees, minimums and how quickly funds appear.
- Play through part of the welcome bonus to see whether the wagering, maximum bet and game weighting work the way the terms say.
- Request a withdrawal and time it from the moment we click “withdraw” to the moment the money reaches our wallet or bank account.
- Contact support by live chat and email at different times of day with realistic questions about payments, bonuses and account limits.
- Test on mobile using an iPhone and an Android phone in the browser, and in any native app if one exists.
- Check responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion, and how easy they are to find.
Weighted scoring criteria
Each area gets a score from 1 to 5. The final rating is the weighted average, rounded to one decimal place.
| Criterion | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Games and software | 25% | Size and variety of the lobby, studio mix, live dealer quality, search and filters |
| Bonuses and terms | 20% | Value of offers, wagering level, max bet, expiry, clarity of the terms |
| Payments and payout speed | 25% | Method choice, fees, limits, our timed withdrawal result, KYC experience |
| Security, licensing and responsible gambling | 20% | Stated licence and operator details, encryption, account protection, limit and exclusion tools |
| Support and mobile | 10% | Response times and quality of answers, availability, mobile usability |
How the score is calculated
Scores are based on evidence we collected ourselves: screenshots, timestamps and support transcripts. A casino cannot buy a higher score, and a big welcome bonus does not outweigh slow or unreliable withdrawals. If an operator fails a withdrawal test, withholds winnings without a clear reason or hides key terms, we lower its payments or security score sharply, whatever it offers elsewhere. We also read player feedback to spot recurring problems, but player opinions are shown separately from our editorial score.
How often we update reviews
We re-check bonus terms, payment methods and the game list regularly, and repeat the withdrawal test when a casino changes its cashier or payout rules. Every review shows a published date and an “updated” date, and the homepage keeps a short changelog so you can see what changed and when. If a casino’s terms change between our checks, the casino’s own terms always apply.
Affiliate disclosure and editorial independence
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account through them, we may receive a commission from the operator. This is how we pay for testing deposits and our writers’ time. It costs you nothing extra and it never changes a score: ratings are set by the editorial team using the criteria above before any commercial discussion, and the commercial side has no say over what we publish. We never accept payment for a positive review.
Responsible gambling
You must be 18 or over (or the legal age in your country) to gamble. Casino games are paid entertainment with a built-in house edge, they can be addictive, and you can lose all the money you deposit. Set a budget and a time limit before you start, never chase losses, and use the limit and self-exclusion tools in your casino account. If gambling is affecting your life, free and confidential help is available from BeGambleAware, GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy, which offers support in several languages.
Corrections and contact
We work hard to keep our reviews accurate, but terms and features change. If you spot an error or have had a different experience with a casino we cover, tell us through the feedback details in the site footer and include screenshots where possible. We check every report and correct confirmed errors in the next update, noting the change in the changelog. Please note we cannot help with account, deposit or withdrawal problems: only the casino’s own support team can access your account.
