Do you actually deposit and withdraw your own money?

Yes. A verdict comes from a real deposit, ordinary play to a withdrawable balance, and a full withdrawal timed end to end. A casino only 'passes' once money has actually come back out — never on reputation or PR.

How do you decide a streamer is on a sponsored balance?

From observable signals — on-screen disclaimers, coin/sweepstakes balances, refilling bankrolls, no withdrawal shown, outsized bets, or a social-version domain. We describe what's observable and don't claim private knowledge of anyone's deal.

Methodology: how we test

Streams are entertainment. Our job is to test what an ordinary player actually experiences — and to publish only what we've verified.

How we build the streamer roster

A streamer-to-casino link earns a place on this site only when it is publicly documented. That means one of three things: a sponsorship the operator or the streamer has announced or disclosed, the streamer's own channel or bio stating the relationship, or reporting from trade press we trust — outlets such as Dexerto, Esports Insider, The Washington Post and Bloomberg. We do not infer a deal from a logo glimpsed in an overlay, and we do not treat a single clip as proof of an ongoing arrangement.

Every link carries a status tag so you can see how solid it is. We mark each one disclosed, observed, historical/changed or uncertain, and we attach the source and the date we recorded it. These deals turn over quickly. When Twitch banned streams of unlicensed gambling sites in October 2022, a large share of gambling content moved to Kick within weeks, and several prominent streamers switched operators again through 2025. A dated, re-checked entry is the only kind that stays honest as the ground shifts beneath it.

The line we will not cross

We do not claim to know any individual streamer's private finances, and we will not assert that a named person's on-screen balance is "fake money." We cannot see anyone's contract or bank account, so we do not pretend to. What we can do is describe a documented industry pattern: the "house money" or supplied-balance arrangement, in which an operator funds a creator's play. That practice is acknowledged within the industry itself, and a 2026 Bloomberg analysis of Stake's in-house games flagged it statistically. We present it as a pattern a viewer can reason about, never as a confession we are putting in someone's mouth. The job is to help you think clearly about what you are watching, not to accuse a particular person. Our full reasoning sits in sponsored versus real balances.

What "tested" actually means

A casino is "tested" only after we have moved real money through it from end to end. We deposit our own funds from an ordinary wallet and log the transaction hash, the network used and the time to credit. We then play normally, with no bonus on the first run, until we reach a withdrawable balance. After that we request a full withdrawal and time every stage: the request, any KYC trigger, the pending window, the on-chain receipt and the final confirmed payment landing back in our wallet.

We run two separate tests because they answer different questions. Test A uses no bonus, so it measures the cleanest possible cash-out. Test B claims a bonus and obeys every wagering term to the letter, because a smooth deposit-balance payout tells you nothing about whether bonus winnings actually get paid. A casino is marked passing only once a withdrawal has completed and confirmed in our wallet. We never award a pass on a press release, an affiliate brief or a promised payout. If the money has not arrived, the test has not finished.

Licence verification

A footer badge proves nothing on its own — anyone can paste an image. When an operator states a licence, we check it on the regulator's own public register and confirm three things: the exact domain, the operating company and an active status. For Curacao we use the official register at cert.cga.cw; for Anjouan, the register at anjouangaming.com; for Malta, the MGA's authorisation list at authorisation.mga.org.mt. If a stated licence does not resolve to the actual site we are testing, we say so. Players in regulated markets can cross-check operators through their own regulator, such as the UK's Gambling Commission.

"Verifying" versus "tested"

We draw a hard line between facts we can source and metrics we have to measure. Publicly sourced facts — who is publicly linked to which casino, or an operator's published KYC, licence and payout policy — we publish with a date attached. First-hand metrics we have not yet measured, such as a streamer-replicate run or a timed withdrawal we have not completed, are marked verifying and held back. We would rather show a gap than fill it with a guess. That is the heart of our honest-data policy: a number on this site is either something we measured or something we can point to a source for, never something we assumed.

Independence, affiliate disclosure and corrections

This site is free to use. Some "Visit" buttons are affiliate links to Duel, routed through a marked /go/ wrapper, and if you sign up through one we may earn a commission. That commission never changes a test result, a score or the order of a list — the withdrawal either confirmed or it did not, and no payout to us alters that. Streamer and casino names appear here for factual, independent commentary, to inform players rather than to imply any endorsement, and we are not affiliated with the streamers we discuss. United States readers can learn more about disclosure rules from the FTC, and anyone who needs support with gambling can reach BeGambleAware.

If something here is out of date or wrong, please tell us — we re-test, correct the entry and update the date at the top of the page. This work is published by the WhoStreamsWhere Research Desk, our editorial team, rather than under a single byline, and corrections from readers are a genuine part of how it stays accurate.
