Independence
No operator can buy a rating. Partner links don’t affect the score or the ranking order — the methodology is the same for everyone.
A single methodology
Each casino gets an overall score based on five weighted criteria: licence, bonuses, games, payouts and support.
Real testing
Reviews are based on real accounts: we deposit, play, complete KYC and time the withdrawal speed with a clock.
Freshness and corrections
Every page has an update date. If you find an error or an outdated term, we fix it and note the change.
You’ll find the detailed rating methodology and weights on the About us page. Questions or tips? Write to the editorial team.

Who is behind freespin.ee
freespin.ee is an independent casino and bonus comparison site run by an editorial team that follows the Estonian gambling market closely — not an operator or a game provider. The purpose of this page is to explain transparently who produces our content, what principles guide the way we assess casinos, and how we make sure readers receive information that is as accurate and honestly presented as possible. We believe every Estonian player deserves to know whose judgement they are relying on when they read a review of a casino, a payment method, or a bonus offer.
At the heart of our work is a methodology built on verifiable facts. Before any casino appears in our comparisons, we check whether it holds a valid operating licence issued by the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (EMTA) for the local market, what withdrawal options and payout speeds it offers, how clear its bonus terms are, and how seriously it treats responsible gambling. We do not rely on marketing copy alone; instead we cross-check publicly available information and revisit our reviews regularly, because terms and promotions change over time.
Independence is the foundation of our credibility. Like most comparison sites, we earn part of our revenue through partner links, but this never influences how we rank casinos or the ratings we give them. No operator can buy a higher position in our listings or persuade us to leave inconvenient facts out. When a platform fails to meet our quality standards, we say so plainly — and that is exactly what separates a serious editorial team from an ordinary advertising channel.
We also place great value on editorial accountability and accuracy. Every figure, licence reference, and condition we publish must be verifiable; we do not invent statistics or promise things that operators themselves do not offer. If you spot an error or an outdated detail in our content, you can let us know and we will correct it at the earliest opportunity. This kind of openness is what builds lasting trust with our Estonian readership and helps us keep improving year after year, including through {year}.
Why does all of this matter to an Estonian player? Because playing on the legal market, understanding clear terms, and using reliable information help you avoid disappointment and unpleasant surprises. Our goal is not to encourage you to gamble more, but to help you make better-informed and calmer choices.
Finally, a reminder that gambling is entertainment, not a way to earn income. In Estonia, playing is permitted only from the age of 21 and only with operators licensed by the EMTA. Play responsibly, set yourself time and money limits, and if you feel that gambling is getting out of control, reach out for free, confidential support from a dedicated counselling service.
The same editorial team is responsible for our two narrower comparison sites: pangakasiinod.ee (bank-link and Pay N Play casinos) and kiiredvaljamaksed.ee (withdrawal speed), both in Estonian. All three use the same rating methodology and the same affiliate-link policy.
