A guide written from the guest’s side of the desk
The Casino Host exists because most casino rankings are written from press material. Ours are written from our own accounts, our own prizes and a stopwatch.
Our standards18+ (21+ in some states). No purchase necessary.Guests first, writers second
We are a small editorial team based in Oslo, Norway, working with testers in the United States who hold the accounts and receive the prizes. Every house on the list has been visited by a real person on a real phone, in a welcome state, with the same free coins any new guest receives.
We list eighteen houses because eighteen passed our basic checks: open to US players, a free route to Sweepstakes Coins, and a prize delivered to our tester. Houses that failed are left off rather than given a low score.
No commissions, no sponsored places
The site is owned and paid for by OMD AS, a company registered in Norway. We do not earn affiliate commissions, our links carry no tracking code, and no house pays for a place or a score. That is rare in this category and it is why our list looks different from most.
If that ever changes, this page will say so first.
Three things you can hold us to
Delivery times, welcome gifts and minimums come from our accounts, rechecked monthly.
No jargon, no hype. If a term needs explaining we explain it on the page.
If we got something wrong, we fix it and note the date in the footer.
