Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how US Casinos works, what our content is for, and what you agree to by using playshatteredskies.com. Please read them alongside our Responsible Gambling page before you rely on anything published here to choose an online slot or casino site.

What this site is — and what it isn't

US Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource focused on online slots and the casinos that offer them to players in the United States. We publish research, rankings and educational content about how online casino games work, what bonuses actually cost, and how to check a site is legitimate before you sign up.

We are not a casino, a payment processor or a gambling operator. We do not accept deposits, run games, hold player funds or process withdrawals. Every casino named on this site is a separate, independently operated business responsible for its own licensing, games, payments and customer service. Where we describe an offer, such as those from Raging Bull, Uptown Aces or Ignition, that description reflects information available to us at the time of publication and should always be confirmed on the operator's own site before you act on it.

Commercial disclosure and how our rankings work

US Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a listed casino and creates an account. This is standard practice for a comparison site and it is how we keep the content free to read. Commission never decides position in our rankings — a casino cannot pay to move up the list, and paying us nothing does not move a casino down it.

Our editorial ratings, such as those shown next to Raging Bull, Uptown Aces, Ignition and the other operators covered on this site, are based on factors including licensing status, the range of slots and other games on offer, the clarity of bonus terms, banking options, and the responsiveness of customer support as we understand it from publicly available information. These ratings are our own opinion. They are not customer-review scores, they are not guarantees of quality, and they can change if an operator's terms, licensing status or offering changes.

Using the content on playshatteredskies.com

By browsing this site you agree to the following:

Content here is general information, not financial, legal or gambling advice, and it does not account for your personal circumstances.
Bonus figures, welcome offers and promotional terms (for example wagering requirements, expiry dates, maximum cashout limits or restricted games) change frequently and are set entirely by the operator, not by US Casinos. Always read the full terms on the casino's own site before you claim an offer.
You will not copy, republish or redistribute substantial portions of this site's content without permission.
You are responsible for confirming that online gambling is legal in your state and that you meet the eligibility requirements before registering with any operator listed here.
We reserve the right to update these terms, our rankings, or any page on this site at any time without prior notice.

Eligibility to gamble online in the US

Online gambling in the United States is regulated at the state level, not federally, which means legality, minimum age and the type of games available vary depending on where you live. Before registering with any casino covered on this site, you should confirm:

Age — Most US states set the minimum legal gambling age at 21, though this can differ for certain gambling activities and jurisdictions. Never use a casino, sweepstakes site or bonus if you do not meet the applicable minimum age.
Location — Real-money online casino gambling is only legal in a limited number of states, and operators typically use location verification to confirm you are physically present within an eligible state at the time of play, regardless of where you are registered or where your billing address is.
State-specific rules — Some states permit only sweepstakes-style or social casino models rather than direct real-money wagering. It is your responsibility to understand which model applies where you live before you deposit or play.

For a broader look at how state-by-state availability affects your choice of site, see our guide to online casinos in the US.

Licensing, security and how offers are described

Where a casino claims to hold a gambling licence, we present that as reported by the operator; readers should independently verify current licensing and regulatory status directly with the casino or the relevant state or tribal gaming authority before playing, since licensing arrangements can change. A valid licence matters because it brings a level of regulatory oversight, dispute resolution and consumer protection that unlicensed or offshore operators cannot offer.

We also expect any casino we cover to use HTTPS encryption to protect account and payment data in transit. This is a baseline security check, not a guarantee against every risk — you should still use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication wherever a casino offers it.

Bonuses, RTP and game fairness — what our figures mean

Headline bonus percentages, such as the offers shown on this page, are the operator's stated promotion and are almost always subject to conditions: wagering requirements, time limits to clear the bonus, maximum bet sizes while a bonus is active, games excluded from contributing toward wagering, and caps on how much bonus-derived winnings can be withdrawn. These terms sit with the operator and can change; always check them on the casino's own promotions page before opting in.

Where we discuss Return to Player (RTP), it refers to a long-term statistical average calculated over a very large number of spins, not a prediction of what will happen in any single session. Reputable slot providers use independently tested random number generators, and RTP figures published by developers or testing labs are the appropriate reference point — not results implied anywhere on this site. US Casinos does not test, play or wager on the games it writes about, and nothing here should be read as a claim of tested outcomes.

Payments and identity verification

US online casinos commonly support a range of banking methods, which may include ACH bank transfers, online banking, debit cards, digital wallets, cryptocurrency, online cash transfer services, and in some cases cash deposits at partner retail locations. Availability, processing times and any fees vary by operator and by state, and are set entirely by the casino, not by US Casinos. Most casinos also require identity verification (KYC) — typically proof of identity, address and payment method — before processing a withdrawal. This is a standard anti-fraud and compliance measure, and delays here are usually resolved faster if documents are submitted accurately the first time.

Responsible gambling and your obligations

Nothing on playshatteredskies.com implies that gambling can produce guaranteed profits or that any strategy overcomes the house edge built into slots and other casino games. Outcomes on games of chance are never guaranteed, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose or with funds that are borrowed.

If you choose to play at any casino listed here, we encourage you to:

Set deposit, loss and time limits before you start playing, using the tools most licensed casinos provide.
Use self-exclusion programmes where you feel it would help, whether operator-specific or through a state-run scheme.
Stop immediately if gambling stops being enjoyable or starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing.
Reach out to national or state-level responsible gambling support services if you need help.

Our Responsible Gambling page goes into more detail on limit-setting tools, self-exclusion and where to find support.

Limitation of liability

US Casinos makes reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and current as of the fact-check date shown on this page, but we cannot guarantee that every detail — including bonus terms, licensing status, payment options or game availability — remains unchanged after publication, since operators update these without notice. US Casinos is not liable for losses, damages or disputes arising from your use of any third-party casino, including but not limited to gambling losses, delayed withdrawals, or bonus terms that differ from what is described here. Any dispute over funds, account access or promotional terms should be raised directly with the casino operator in question.
