How they work
How Sofia compares casinos
Sofia starts every review with the licence and the payout terms, then compares the casino with others on our list: game range, bonus value, mobile site and how clearly it states its rules.
She checks which payment methods a casino lists for Rwanda, whether it publishes independent test certificates for its games, and flags casinos that are vague about either.
I compare platforms side by side so readers get clear, honest ratings. My goal is to make the technical details simple enough for an informed and safe choice.
What they check
- Licence and payout terms first
- Payment methods listed for Rwanda
- Independent game testing
- Side-by-side comparison
Questions for Sofia
What do you look at first in a new casino?
The licence and the withdrawal terms. If either is unclear, the rest matters less.
Why compare casinos side by side?
It shows which ones offer real value on games, bonuses and mobile play, not just big headlines.
How do you judge whether games are fair?
I look for certificates from independent testing labs and games from established studios.
