Terms and Conditions

This page explains the terms under which thebqb.com operates, how our online slots and casino content is put together, and what you as a reader agree to when using the site. It is not a substitute for the terms and conditions of any individual casino — always read those directly before you deposit or claim a bonus.

What this site does and does not do

Online Casinos is an independent comparison and review resource focused on online casinos available to US residents, with particular attention to online slots, welcome bonuses, and how real-money play works in practice. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, or operate any gambling product ourselves. Every casino named on this site is a third-party operator responsible for its own licensing, games, payments, and customer support.

Some links on this site are commercial: if you click through to a casino and sign up, thebqb.com may earn a commission. This never changes our editorial ratings or the order casinos appear in — commission does not buy position, and a casino paying us nothing could rank above one that doesn't.

How our reviews and rankings are put together

Our ratings for operators such as Raging Bull, Uptown Aces, Ignition, Free Spins, and the others listed on our USA casino reviews page are compiled by researching public information about licensing, game selection, bonus terms, payment processing, and reported customer support quality. We do not deposit, play, or withdraw funds ourselves, so our assessments are based on documentation, published terms, and operator disclosures rather than firsthand testing. Ratings are reviewed periodically and can change as terms or circumstances change.

Understanding bonus terms before you claim anything

Every welcome offer shown on this site — whether it's a deposit match, free spins, or a coin package — comes with conditions set by the operator, not by thebqb.com. Common terms readers should expect to see and read in full include:

• Wagering requirements — a multiplier on the bonus (and sometimes the deposit) that must be played through before winnings can be withdrawn.
• Game restrictions — slots often count fully toward wagering, while table and live-dealer games may count less or not at all.
• Expiry dates — bonuses and free spins typically must be used within a set number of days.
• Maximum withdrawal caps — some bonus wins are capped regardless of how much is won.
• Eligibility restrictions — offers may be limited to new players, specific states, or specific payment methods.

Figures shown on offer cards on this site, such as a percentage match or a free spins count, reflect what the operator has published at the time of writing. Always confirm the current terms directly on the casino's site before you deposit, since promotions and their conditions can change without notice.

Eligibility to use this content

Online gambling in the US is regulated at the state level, and legal minimum gambling ages are typically 21, though this can vary by state and by activity. Some states permit online slots and casino games; others restrict or prohibit them entirely, and some products operate under sweepstakes or social-casino models rather than direct real-money wagering. Readers must be physically located in a jurisdiction where online casino play is legal, must meet the applicable age requirement, and are responsible for confirming their own state's rules before signing up anywhere. Nothing on this site should be read as confirmation that a given casino is available or legal in every state.

Payments, security, and verification — what to expect

Deposit and withdrawal methods vary by operator but commonly include ACH bank transfer, online banking, debit cards, digital wallets, cryptocurrency, and in some cases cash transfer services or cash deposits at partner locations. Processing times and fees are set by each casino, not by thebqb.com, and can differ significantly between deposits (often instant) and withdrawals (which can take anywhere from hours to several business days depending on method and verification status). Reputable operators will ask for identity verification (KYC) before releasing a withdrawal — this is a standard anti-fraud and compliance step, not a sign of a problem. Before entering any payment details on a casino site, confirm the page uses HTTPS encryption, and never reuse passwords across gambling accounts.

Fairness, RTP, and how outcomes actually work

Licensed online slots use certified random number generators (RNGs), and reputable casinos have this tested by independent labs. Return to Player (RTP) figures published for slots represent a long-term theoretical average calculated over millions of spins — they describe how a game behaves statistically over time, not what will happen in any single session. A high RTP does not mean a guaranteed return, and no game on this site or elsewhere offers assured profits. Outcomes in every game of chance are random, and the house edge means the operator has a mathematical advantage over time.

Responsible gambling — limits and support

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not income. Before playing at any casino, set deposit and time limits, avoid gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, and stop if it stops being enjoyable or starts affecting your finances or wellbeing. Most licensed US operators offer self-exclusion tools, deposit caps, and cooling-off periods within account settings. For further guidance and links to state and national support services, see our Responsible Gambling page.
