Part of the NASDAQ-listed Gambling.com Group and operating since 2017, we help American players find licensed, regulated casinos and sportsbooks by independently testing platforms, evaluating bonuses against real wagering conditions, and publishing transparent, editorially independent reviews.

Legal online sports betting is available in 30+ states. It’s all about safe, responsible play, and helping you Find More Fun.

Why Players Trust BonusFinder US
Independence
We assess all casinos independently and based on merit. While we do have partnerships, they never influence our editorial ratings or recommendations. Our aim is to give players objective and reliable information.
Accuracy
We verify all facts using trusted sources and review our content regularly. Casino rules, bonuses, and terms are updated to reflect reality not assumptions. We verify state license status directly via the relevant state gaming commission's public register before publishing any review.
Transparency
We clearly explain how we review, rate, and recommend casinos. If we work with a brand, we’re upfront about it. And if something’s unclear, we’ll tell you that too. We clearly label paid placements where they appear. Our editorial scores are never sold to operators.
Fairness
We write for the players not the casinos. Our tone, layout, and comparisons are built to inform, not persuade. Every casino is evaluated using the same core criteria. We apply the same scoring criteria to every operator including those we have commercial relationships with.
Proof of Testing
Our editors create real accounts, make deposits, claim bonuses, and test withdrawals before writing any review. → See how we test a casino
How We Earn Money
BonusFinder US is a free resource for players, supported by affiliate commissions. When you register at a casino through our links, we may receive a fee from the operator. This revenue directly funds our independent research, rigorous first-hand testing, and expert editorial team.
Importantly, our commercial partnerships never dictate our ratings. While some positions on the site are clearly labeled as paid placements, all editorial scores and reviews are produced independently and are never for sale.
How We Review US Online Casinos
There's a lot that goes into this review process. We only cover operators with a valid US state license unlicensed offshore sites are never featured. Once that threshold is met, we score each casino or sportsbook across six weighted categories:
| Review Category | Weight | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| State Licence & Safety | 25% | Valid US state gambling licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, self-exclusion options (state-specific), KYC process |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer real value, wagering requirements in plain terms, T&C clarity, existing-player promotions, state-specific eligibility restrictions |
| Banking & Withdrawals | 20% | US-friendly payment methods (PayPal, Venmo, ACH, Play+), withdrawal speed, deposit and withdrawal limits, KYC timing |
| Games & Software | 15% | Game variety, state-approved software providers, RTP transparency, live dealer quality, mobile game availability |
| Customer Support | 10% | Live chat availability, US-accessible support hours, response quality, complaint resolution |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | App quality (iOS App Store and Google Play), browser performance, mobile banking functionality |

Our Commitment to US Gambling Standards
BonusFinder US is an independent review and comparison website. We are not a licensed gambling operator and do not handle player funds. Our responsibilities as a US gambling information provider include:
- Licensed operators only — every casino and sportsbook featured on BonusFinder US holds a valid licence from a US state gambling regulator. We do not feature unlicensed offshore operators.
- State-by-state coverage — legal online casino and sports betting availability varies by state. We clearly indicate which operators are available in which states and update our coverage as new markets open.
- Responsible gambling tools audit — we check for deposit limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods, and state-mandated self-exclusion programmes at every operator we review, and report transparently when they are absent or limited.
- Regulator engagement — our team actively monitors updates from state gaming commissions and the American Gaming Association (AGA) to ensure our coverage reflects the current regulatory environment.
- Editorial independence — our review scores are produced independently of our commercial partnerships. We do not accept operator-supplied content or paid editorial placements.
