OnlineHow We Rank
Every operator on OnlineCasinos2026 runs through the same four-part calculation. This page explains each input and where its numbers come from.
Payout Window (the primary ranking factor)
The payout window is a calculated editorial estimate, not a lab-tested or independently audited result. We build it from each operator's own published banking pages: which payment methods it supports, whether it highlights crypto processing times, and its stated verification requirements. Operators with fast crypto rails and zero-wagering offers land in the ~0h bracket; operators relying mainly on card and bank withdrawals land in the 72-120h bracket. These are typical windows, not a guarantee for any individual withdrawal.
Wagering Gate
We record the stated wagering multiplier for each welcome offer and note where crypto and card deposits carry different figures. A lower multiplier scores higher because bonus funds convert to withdrawable cash sooner.
Bonus Value
We weigh the headline match percentage and cap against the wagering gate and minimum deposit, rather than ranking on the percentage alone. A large headline number with a light gate scores above a larger number with a steep one.
Game Library
We note whether an operator runs a dedicated live dealer floor, a sportsbook, or a deep video poker or table game selection, since a New York player's preferences vary widely across those categories.
What We Don't Claim
We do not claim any operator holds a New York gaming licence, because none does. We do not describe an operator as independently tested, audited or verified unless we can back that with real evidence, and none of the score bars or stat figures on this site should be read as such a claim.
