Editorial policy
This page explains how Shepherds With Beardies researches, scores and maintains its non-UK casino recommendations, and how we handle the commercial side of the site.
How we score casinos
We don't rank on bonus size. Our score weights four things:
- Licence & operator track record — who holds the licence and whether player complaints get resolved.
- Real bonus value — wagering, game weighting, max-bet and withdrawal caps, not the headline percentage.
- Payout speed — we test a real withdrawal where possible.
- Game range — providers, live tables and breadth of titles.
Independence & advertising disclosure
Shepherds With Beardies is funded by affiliate commissions. When you sign up to an operator through a link on this site, we may earn a fee at no extra cost to you. Commercial relationships never buy a higher ranking, and we list operators we would not join at the bottom — or not at all.
Accuracy & updates
Offers change quickly. We verify bonus terms against operator pages and our bonus database, and re-check our top list on a rolling basis. The "Updated" date on a page reflects the last substantive review.
Corrections
