About Casinoay
Casinoay is a reference site about online casinos, the studios that build their games, the bonuses they advertise and the payment methods they accept. It is published in English and Russian, and it is not owned by, funded by or affiliated with any casino operator.
The scale is deliberately small. On 31 August 2026 the site covered 10 casinos, 19 slots and 43 game studios, of which six have games covered here. Of those ten operators, four appear in a regulator’s public register, three claim a licence that could not be confirmed, and three make no licence claim at all. Return figures are backed by a dated capture of the game’s own rules screen for 14 of the 19 slots, and the pages that lack one say so.
What is published here?
The site is organised around four things a player actually has to decide before depositing anywhere: which operator to use, which games are worth the session, what a bonus really costs in wagering, and how money gets in and out.
- Casino reviews – licence, withdrawal terms, bonus conditions, payment options and support, each assessed against a fixed set of criteria.
- Provider profiles – the studios behind the games: what they are licensed for, which mechanics are theirs, and what their published return figures look like.
- Game reviews – return to player, volatility, mechanics and the alternate configurations operators are allowed to install.
- Bonus and payment guides – what each bonus type is worth once the wagering is applied, and what each deposit method costs in time and fees.
How the work is done
Every figure on this site is supposed to be traceable. Licences are checked against the regulator’s own public register rather than the badge in a casino footer. Bonus terms are read from the operator’s published rules, not from the marketing headline. Return figures are quoted from the information screen inside the game, because the same title ships in several configurations and the operator chooses which one to install.
Where a number cannot be verified, the page says so instead of filling the gap. A review that quietly rounds an unknown into a confident figure is worse than one that admits the limit.
What this site does not do
Position in our rankings is not for sale. The criteria are published in full on how we rate casinos, the weights are fixed, and an operator cannot buy a place, remove criticism or change a score. Our commercial position is stated plainly in the affiliate disclosure.
We are also not a dispute service. If an operator has withheld a withdrawal or closed an account, the effective route is the regulator that issued its licence – a complaint from the player carries weight there in a way that a note from a review site does not. We do record such cases, and a pattern of them moves an operator down the rankings.
Gambling is not a way to make money
Every game described on this site is built with a mathematical edge in favour of the house. That edge is why casinos exist, and no strategy, system or bonus reverses it. The material here is written to help someone spend money knowingly rather than to help anyone win.
If gambling has stopped being a choice, the practical steps are on our responsible gambling page, and independent help is available at GambleAware.
Corrections
If something here is wrong – an outdated licence, a bonus term that has changed, a return figure that no longer matches the game – tell us and it gets fixed. Details are on the contact page. Corrections are made to the page itself rather than buried in a note.
