Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how Online Casinos works, what our reviews and rankings mean, and what you agree to by using this site. By browsing dfives.com, you accept the terms set out below. If you don't agree with any part of them, please don't use the site.

What this site is — and what it isn't

Online Casinos is an independent comparison and information resource covering online casinos available to residents of the United States. We are not an online casino, we do not accept wagers, and we do not process deposits or withdrawals. We publish research, comparisons and editorial rankings — such as our page on fastest-payout online casinos in the USA — to help readers compare options before deciding where, or whether, to play.

We are not a gambling operator and hold no gaming licence ourselves. Any casino featured on this site is separately licensed and regulated in the jurisdiction it operates from. Always confirm a casino's current licensing status directly with the operator before signing up, since licensing arrangements can change after our last review date.

Commercial relationships and how rankings work

Some of the casinos listed on dfives.com, including those named in our current rankings — Raging Bull, Uptown Aces, Ignition, Free Spins, Ducky Luck, Captain Jack, Slots and Casino, Zumba Cards, Casino Extreme and Dream Royale — may pay us a commission if a reader signs up through a link on this site. This does not cost the reader anything extra, and it does not decide where a casino sits in our rankings.

Our editorial ratings are based on factors such as bonus terms, banking options, licensing information, and general reputation, assessed using publicly available information and our own research. Commission arrangements are kept separate from the editorial process; a casino cannot buy a higher position, and a low-paying or non-paying listing is not marked down because of it. Ratings shown are editorial opinions, not customer-review scores, and they are not a guarantee of any outcome if you play.

Using the information on this site

Content on dfives.com — including bonus details, banking information and payout estimates — is provided for general informational purposes and reflects our understanding at the time of publication. Casino offers, wagering requirements, payment methods and processing times change frequently and without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep pages current, but we cannot guarantee that every detail matches what a casino currently advertises. Always read the operator's own terms and conditions before claiming a bonus or making a deposit.

Nothing on this site should be read as a promise of winnings, guaranteed payouts or any particular financial result. Casino games carry a built-in house edge, and outcomes — including how quickly a withdrawal is processed — depend on the individual operator's own procedures and verification checks, not on anything we publish.

Eligibility and your responsibilities

You must meet the legal gambling age that applies in your state — typically 21, though some gambling activities are regulated differently depending on the state — and you must be physically located somewhere that permits real-money online gambling before acting on anything you read here. Availability of specific casinos and game types depends on your state's own laws, and it is your responsibility to check that online gambling is permitted where you are before registering with any operator.

By using this site you agree to:

Verify a casino's licensing and legal status in your state before playing
Read an operator's full bonus terms, including wagering requirements and expiry dates, before claiming any offer
Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication where a casino offers it
Never gamble with borrowed money or funds you need for essential expenses
Set your own deposit and time limits, and stop playing if gambling stops being enjoyable

Responsible gambling

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money, and it carries real financial risk. If you're concerned about your own play or someone else's, our Responsible Gambling page has more detail on self-exclusion programmes, deposit and spending limits, and where to find state and national support services. Most licensed US casinos offer built-in tools to set limits or take a break — check an operator's account settings before you deposit.

Third-party sites and links

dfives.com links out to casino operators and, occasionally, to other third-party resources. Once you leave our site, that operator's own terms, privacy policy and licensing conditions apply — we have no control over their content or practices and are not responsible for what happens on their platforms. We recommend checking that any site you visit uses HTTPS encryption before entering personal or financial details.

Limitation of liability

We provide this site's content on an "as is" basis and make no warranty that it is complete, error-free or suitable for any particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, Online Casinos and dfives.com are not liable for any loss — financial or otherwise — arising from decisions made based on information published here, including losses connected to gambling activity, bonus terms, or the actions of any third-party operator.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time as our content, offers or legal position changes. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the last update. Continued use of dfives.com after a change means you accept the revised terms.
