How We Rate Casinos
At Cardiograph, we evaluate online casinos using a comprehensive methodology to help Indian players find trustworthy platforms for Tower Rush and other games. Our ratings are based on extensive testing and research across eight key criteria.
1. Licensing & Regulation
We prioritize casinos with legitimate licenses from recognized authorities. Our assessment includes verification of licenses from:
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)
- United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC)
- Curaçao eGaming License
- Local Indian regulatory compliance where applicable
Casinos without verifiable licensing are heavily penalized or excluded from our reviews. We verify all license claims directly with regulatory bodies.
2. Game Selection & Software Providers
We evaluate the breadth and quality of available games, including:
- Slot machine variety and quality
- Live casino offerings (live dealers, table coverage)
- Table games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat)
- Partnerships with reputable software providers
- Exclusive or innovative game titles
Casinos offering diverse game selections from established providers like Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, and Evolution Gaming receive higher ratings.
3. Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements
We carefully review all promotional offers, examining:
- Transparency and clarity of terms and conditions
- Wagering/rollover requirements (lower is better)
- Maximum cashout limits on bonus winnings
- Game contribution percentages
- Time limits for bonus completion
- Restricted game lists
We favor casinos with fair, player-friendly bonus structures and clear T&Cs written in accessible language.

- Cryptocurrency payment options (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether)
- E-wallet availability (Skrill, Neteller, PayPal)
- Bank transfers and local Indian payment methods
- Average withdrawal processing times
- Transaction fees and hidden charges

- Email support responsiveness (measured in hours)
- Phone support options
- Knowledge and helpfulness of support staff

- Deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Loss limits and session time limits
- Self-exclusion options (temporary and permanent)

Casinos with robust responsible gaming frameworks receive higher ratings as we believe player protection is paramount.
8. Our Rating Scale
We use a 1-10 point rating system to summarize our findings:

Each rating reflects testing conducted in 2026 and is updated regularly as casino policies and offerings change. We encourage Indian players to review our detailed analysis alongside our overall score before making deposit decisions.
