How We Review: The Method, and the Point Where Our Evidence Stops
This page exists so that the rest of the site can be argued with. It lists what gets checked before an operator is described here, says plainly where the checking stops, and sets out what commercial arrangements do and do not buy. If a page elsewhere on this site breaks these rules, the page is wrong, not the rules. JILIAPP is an independent guide: not a casino, no deposits, no games, no scores, no rankings. 21+.
The criteria, and what each one proves
| Criterion | What we read | What that proves |
|---|---|---|
| Licence disclosure | A named regulator and licence identity written in text, checked against that regulator's published list | That a claim exists and whether it matched a list on the date shown. Not that it is current today |
| Payment rails | The wallets and transfer networks named in the cashier, and whether the site and app agree | Which rails are offered. Nothing about speed, fees or limits, which are the operator's to publish |
| Terms clarity | How long wagering, expiry, maximum bet during a bonus and withdrawal conditions take to find | A direct result, because this is a test of a public document |
| KYC rules | Whether identity requirements appear before deposit, and which documents are listed | What the policy says. Never how it was applied to one account |
| Complaint route | An escalation path inside the company and one outside it, both findable without an agent handing you a link | That a route is published. Not that it resolves anything |
| Responsible-gaming tools | Which of deposit limit, loss limit, reminders, cool-off and self-exclusion exist, and whether they are self-serve | That they are offered and how they are described |
| Support channels | Which channels exist, their stated hours, and whether each is operator-controlled | What exists. Not how well it answers under pressure |
| App distribution | How installation is expected to happen, and whether sideloading is described honestly | A direct result, because distribution practice is openly visible |
The three tiers of certainty
Every statement about an operator on this site belongs to one of three tiers, and the wording is chosen to show which.
- Documented. You can open the same page and read the same words. Said as the terms state, the cashier lists, the footer shows.
- Claimed. The operator asserts it and nobody outside can confirm it. Said as the operator says, the page claims, the badge asserts.
- Unknowable. Nothing could establish it, including a hundred sessions. That a game is due, that a system beats a house edge, that one evening's results say anything about a published RTP.
Payout speed, fees and minimums sit firmly in the second tier for us even though they are facts in the operator's own system, because we have no way to test them. That is why this site sends you to the cashier page instead of printing a number.
No scores, and no best list
A score implies a measurement and a weighting. For an operator, almost every input is a claim, so a number would be a disguise rather than a summary. The same applies to a ranked table: ranking claims produces a league table of marketing. Game figures can be ranked because the studio publishes comparable numbers; operators cannot.
What a partner link buys
Some outbound links here may be partner links, which can pay a commission if a reader follows one and signs up later. That funds the site, and disclosing it belongs in the method rather than in small print at the bottom. It buys nothing else: no adjective, no placement, no deletion of a criticism, and no advance look at a page.
The test to apply to any guide, this one included: find the sentence that is unflattering about the thing being linked. A site that cannot produce one is advertising.
When pages change
A page is rewritten when the thing it describes changes: a licence claim appears or vanishes, terms are reissued, a rail is dropped, a channel closes. The date shown is the date of that check. Evidence that something here is factually wrong is a reason to rewrite it, and it is the only reason that reliably produces a rewrite.
The disclosures that apply to every page
- An independent guide, not a casino: no deposits taken, no games run.
- Nobody here has tested a withdrawal, timed a payout or played with an operator's money.
- No named human reviewer is offered as an authority, because an unverifiable byline adds nothing.
- Operator-specific numbers belong in the operator's cashier, and that is where we send you.
- This is adult entertainment, 21 and over, with a running cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why no star ratings?
Because a rating implies a measurement and nearly every input about an operator is a claim. A number would hide that rather than summarise it, so findings are written as sentences.
Are your links commercial?
Some may be partner links that pay a commission after a sign-up. They change no wording, no order and no criticism, and no operator sees a page before it is published.
Why do you refuse to publish payout times and fees?
Because we cannot test them. They belong to the operator and are published in its cashier, so that is where we point you rather than printing a figure we cannot stand behind.
Who is the author of these pages?
The method is published instead of a byline. Hold the pages to it: every claim should trace back to a document you can open yourself.
Can you step in if an operator will not pay me?
No. This site has no access to any account and cannot move money. The order is operator support, then your e-wallet or bank through their own app, then the regulator, then the cybercrime authorities.
