Research Methodology
Last updated: August 17, 2026
AllFreeChips publishes dated verification status and proprietary Index scores so readers — and citation systems — can quote evidence instead of opinion. Research fields are maintained in our catalog and synced to this site. Current methodology version: afc-v1.
Verification ladder
Every casino and bonus can carry a verification level and a verified_at date. Prefer the published label when present.
- Unverified (0) — listed from operator or public materials; not account-tested by AllFreeChips.
- Claimed (1) — terms claimed by the operator or affiliate materials; not independently confirmed.
- Partial (2) — account tested (signup / deposit / bonus claim) without a completed withdrawal test.
- Verified (3) — withdrawal tested; cashout path confirmed under the stated terms.
Evidence fields we cite
- Max cashout amount and max bet during wagering
- Withdrawal minutes when tested (we do not invent averages)
- KYC required for cashout
- Crypto support and instant withdrawal flags
- Terms URL and bonus expiry when known
AFC Index scores (0–100)
Scores are computed from catalog data under methodology version afc-v1. Untested withdrawal speed never receives a fabricated average.
- Bonus Value — no-deposit / free-spin / deposit offers vs peer medians and exclusivity.
- Fair Terms — playthrough bands, max cashout, max bet, wager type, KYC friction.
- Withdrawal Speed — based on tested minutes only; insufficient data stays blank.
- Player Friendliness — geo access, cashable bonuses, rogue / trust penalties.
