How Our Team Tests a Casino

Every review on Casino Dubai follows the same six steps. We record what a casino shows a visitor in the UAE and what its own terms say; we do not open real-money accounts, and each review says so in its first lines.

1

Open it from the UAE

Through the same link our readers use, noting the domain it lands on, the language it serves and the currencies offered at registration.

2

Read the terms in full

General and bonus terms, payment and withdrawal rules, the complaints procedure, KYC and responsible gaming pages, line by line.

3

Record the payments

Every deposit and withdrawal method listed with the UAE selected, with its limits and processing times where the casino publishes them.

4

Count the games

Through the site's own game lists, by studio and by category, live casino included.

5

Measure the odds

The 1X2 odds of every listed match in the five biggest European leagues and the Champions League, to work out the margin the sportsbook keeps.

6

Check the licence

The company and licence the casino names, looked up on the regulator's own register, plus a search of the UAE App Store for an app.

Each casino is then scored in eight categories, from games and payments to the dispute route, and the overall rating is their average. The full method is on our How We Rate Online Casinos page.

Sources, Dates and Corrections

The rules our editorial team works to, set out on our About page:

Primary sources first

Facts about the law and the licensed operators come from the GCGRA's licensee list, UAE federal legislation, operators' own terms and help centres, and regulators' registers abroad. Where an article relies on UAE press reporting, it says so.

Every figure dated

Game counts, odds margins and register entries carry the date they were measured. Articles are re-checked against their sources, and when a figure changes the page is updated and says so.

The legal question first

Gambling in the UAE is lawful only with an operator licensed by the GCGRA. Offshore casinos are never described as legal, safe or authorised in the UAE, whatever licence they hold abroad.

Reviewed before publishing

Every article is checked by Omar Al Mazrouei, our Senior Editor. Mistakes are corrected on every page where the figure appears; report one to info@casinodubai.bet.
