Advertising Disclosure: How the List Is Ordered and Where the Links Go

This website is an affiliate marketing service. We may receive commission if you click on links to partner sites or make a deposit. Commercial relationships decide which operators carry a Play Here button and the order of the operator list. They do not change the license facts, dates and sources printed with each operator. We only promote operators that are licensed and regulated by the relevant state authorities.

The operator list on the homepage is advertising. The operators shown, and the order they appear in, are chosen for commercial reasons. The order is not a rating and not the result of a test.

Every operator in the list holds a license on the West Virginia Lottery's current iGaming list.¹ The license number and the licensee are printed on each row, with the date they were checked.

A “Play Here” button is an advertising link. It first opens an address on this site, such as /to/caesars-palace or /to/betrivers, which forwards the browser to the operator's affiliate tracking service and from there to the operator's own website for West Virginia. It opens in a new tab and is marked as sponsored in the page code.

A “Play Here” button appears only for an operator whose promotion has been approved and whose link has been checked. A row without one shows the operator's license facts and no link.

Links in the text, in the source lists and in the footer are not advertising. They go straight to the page cited and carry no tracking.

A reader who prefers not to use a link can reach any operator by typing its address into a browser. The license facts printed on each row, the license number and the licensee, are the same either way, and they can be matched against the West Virginia Lottery's list without visiting the operator at all.¹

No scores are shown yet. Scores will follow the published method on How We Rate, applied to facts that have been recorded and dated.

Reviews record what can be checked on the operator's own pages and in the state's license list. A welcome offer is shown only after its terms have been read on the operator's page on the day of the update.

Review pages exist only once facts are recorded. A brand without a review page is still in the list, with its license facts and the date they were checked, and the absence of a review says nothing for or against it.

No. The list order is set for commercial reasons, not by a rating or a test. A brand in the first position has not been judged better than a brand in the fifth, and no position number should be read as a grade.

The list is labeled as the listed order for that reason, and it carries no scores or stars. When scores are published, they will follow the method on How We Rate and will be shown as scores, while the commercial order is still disclosed separately.

The “Play Here” buttons do. The tracking service records that the visit came from this site, so that the operator can attribute a new account to it. We may receive commission if you click on links to partner sites or make a deposit.

The commercial relationship decides which operators carry a button and the order of the list. It does not change the license facts, the dates or the sources printed on each row and in each review.

No other link on the site carries affiliate tracking.

No. When a review cites an operator's own terms page, payments page or app listing, the document is evidence of what the operator states on a given date. Citing it is not an endorsement of the operator, its offers or its products.

The reverse also holds: the presence of a brand in the list is not a statement that its terms are good. Reading the terms before opening an account stays with the reader.

A review page exists only once its facts are recorded and dated: the license match, the operator's West Virginia terms, its payments and app facts and its responsible gambling tools. Until then, the brand appears in the list with its license facts alone.

What a review records, and what it leaves out, is set out on the reviews page. Because every line carries its read date, a reader can see how current a review is.

Online casino play in West Virginia is for people aged 21 or older who are physically in the state when they play.² If gambling stops being fun, help is available at 1-800-GAMBLER and on the responsible gambling page.

The age limit and the location rule apply to every operator in the list, whether or not it has a review here.² The responsible gambling page describes the state's free helpline and its Voluntary Exclusion Program.
