How We Review — BeyondGamstop Sisters
BeyondGamstop Sisters scores every operator it covers against one fixed rubric, six criteria wide, applied identically regardless of any commercial relationship. Here's the full breakdown: what each criterion weighs, what we test, and what separates a 5 from a 0.
Licensing & regulation
Weight: 20%
Which authority licenses the operator in this market, and what its enforcement record looks like over the last three years.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | MGA, UKGC or Gibraltar-licensed with a clean enforcement record for the last three years. |
| 4 | MGA/UKGC-licensed with only minor, publicly resolved compliance notices in that period. |
| 3 | Licensed under Curaçao's current framework (the post-2021 licensing regime) or the Isle of Man, with no unresolved player complaints on record. |
| 2 | Licensed via an older Curaçao master-licence sublicence or a comparable low-tier authority, with isolated unresolved complaints. |
| 1 | Licence claimed but not independently verifiable on the regulator's public register, or a documented pattern of non-enforcement by that authority. |
| 0 | No traceable licence, or a licence that has been revoked or delisted by its issuing authority. |
Withdrawal speed & limits
Weight: 20%
Payout latency we measure ourselves on real test transactions, including how limits behave on weekends and at monthly caps.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | Verified median e-wallet payout under 24 hours, with no reduction in withdrawal caps on weekends. |
| 4 | Verified median e-wallet payout under 24 hours, weekend cap reduced but disclosed upfront in the terms. |
| 3 | Median payout of 1-3 days, monthly withdrawal cap clearly published on the site. |
| 2 | Median payout of 3-5 days, or a withdrawal cap that only surfaces once you open a support ticket. |
| 1 | Payouts regularly exceeded 5 days across our test transactions, or the cap changes without notice. |
| 0 | We could not complete a test withdrawal, or found multiple independent reports of stalled or refused payouts within our review window. |
Bonus fairness
Weight: 15%
The real cost of the welcome offer: wagering multiple, what counts toward it, and any cap on what you can actually withdraw.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | Wagering requirement of 20x the bonus or lower, full contribution table published, no maximum-cashout cap on the welcome bonus. |
| 4 | Wagering requirement of 21-35x, full contribution table published. |
| 3 | Wagering requirement of 36-50x, contribution table available but incomplete for some game categories. |
| 2 | Wagering requirement of 51-70x, or a maximum-cashout cap not disclosed until after you opt in. |
| 1 | Wagering requirement above 70x, or terms on the promo page contradict the full terms and conditions. |
| 0 | Bonus terms not published anywhere we could find, or terms changed retroactively on a live promotion during our review. |
Payment methods
Weight: 15%
Whether deposit options are actually available for withdrawal too, plus real coverage of e-wallets and crypto.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | Full parity between deposit and withdrawal methods, plus at least two major crypto assets and two e-wallets supported. |
| 4 | Full deposit/withdrawal parity, at least one crypto asset or e-wallet supported. |
| 3 | Minor deposit/withdrawal mismatch (for example, one card scheme is deposit-only), core e-wallets supported. |
| 2 | Withdrawals restricted to bank transfer regardless of which method you deposited with. |
| 1 | Fewer than three working withdrawal methods, or a payment method advertised on the site but not actually offered at checkout. |
| 0 | No functioning withdrawal method found during testing. |
Player safety & support
Weight: 15%
How easy self-exclusion and deposit/loss limits are to find, and how fast live support actually responds when we test it.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | Deposit, loss and session limits plus self-exclusion reachable in under two clicks from the account menu; live chat first response under two minutes in our test. |
| 4 | Same tools present and reachable; live chat first response under five minutes. |
| 3 | RG tools present but buried in a general settings menu; live chat available, with a queue. |
| 2 | RG tools require a support-ticket request rather than self-service; no live chat, email or phone only. |
| 1 | No visible in-account RG tools; support response took over 24 hours in our test contact. |
| 0 | No response to our test support contact within the review window, or no dispute-resolution process we could identify. |
Editorial independence
Weight: 15%
How commercial relationships are disclosed, and whether they're ever allowed to move a ranking.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | Ranking position is provably unaffected by affiliate commission tier; the commercial relationship is disclosed in full on our Terms page; an operator can request a factual correction but never a ranking change. |
| 4 | Same independence guarantee, but the disclosure requires a click-through from the review to find. |
| 3 | General affiliate disclosure present on the site; no documented case-by-case override process. |
| 2 | Some listings show placement inconsistent with our own stated scoring, with no disclosed reason for the gap. |
| 1 | No affiliate disclosure found anywhere on the site. |
| 0 | Evidence found of a ranking that moved in exchange for compensation, contradicting our own stated criteria. |
