Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions explain how donttextdrive.com operates, what our content is (and isn't), and what you agree to by using this site. Please read them alongside our Responsible Gambling page before acting on anything you find here.
What donttextdrive.com is and isn't
Best Online Casinos is an independent comparison and review site. We publish research on licensed online casinos available to US players, including bonus terms, payment options, game selection and payout speeds. We are not a casino, we do not accept wagers, hold player funds, or process deposits and withdrawals. Every game of chance featured through the casinos we cover carries a built-in house edge, and no casino, bonus or strategy can guarantee winnings. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise of profit.
Using this site
By browsing donttextdrive.com, you agree to the following:
- You are using this site for informational purposes and understand that all gambling decisions are your own responsibility.
- You will not rely on our content as legal, financial or professional advice.
- You will not copy, republish or redistribute our articles, ratings or rankings without permission.
- You confirm you meet the legal gambling age in your state before visiting any casino we mention.
Eligibility and jurisdiction
Online gambling availability in the US varies by state, and it is the reader's responsibility to confirm what is legal where they live before signing up anywhere. As a general guide:
- The minimum gambling age is typically 21, though some gambling activities permitted at 18 differ by state.
- Real-money online casino play is generally restricted to players physically located within a state that has legalized it at the time of play, regardless of where the player resides or holds an account.
- Some platforms operate under sweepstakes or social-casino models with different eligibility rules than licensed real-money casinos.
We do not verify a reader's location or eligibility, and listing a casino on this site is not a guarantee that it is licensed to operate in your specific state. Always confirm licensing directly with the operator before registering.
How our rankings and offers work
The casinos featured on donttextdrive.com, including our highest payout rankings for US players, are assessed using publicly available information such as published RTP figures, licensing disclosures, bonus terms, banking options and reported withdrawal times. Editorial ratings reflect our own research and judgment, not customer reviews or independent lab testing conducted by us. We have not deposited, wagered or withdrawn funds at any listed operator, and our scores should be treated as a research aid, not a certification.
Some of the operators shown, including Raging Bull, Uptown Aces, Slots of Vegas, Ignition, Card Crush, BetUS, Zumba Cards, Ducky Luck, Slots and Casino, and Bets.FM, compensate us if a reader signs up through a link on this site. This commercial relationship never determines an operator's position or rating — placement is based on our editorial assessment, and commission does not buy a higher spot in any table or list.
Bonus terms are set by the casino, not by us
Welcome offers such as deposit-match bonuses or free spins are set, funded and honored by the individual casino, not by donttextdrive.com. Figures like a headline percentage or dollar cap are usually subject to conditions the operator sets independently, which commonly include:
- Wagering requirements that must be cleared before winnings can be withdrawn
- Expiry windows on the bonus or on any spins awarded
- Restrictions on which games count toward wagering
- Maximum withdrawal caps tied to bonus winnings
- Minimum deposit thresholds to qualify
We publish headline offer details as reported by each operator, but terms can change without notice. Always read the full bonus terms on the operator's own site before opting in.
Payments, licensing and security are the operator's responsibility
Deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times, verification (KYC) requirements and account security measures such as encryption are all set and maintained by the individual casino, not by donttextdrive.com. Common banking options at US-facing sites include ACH bank transfer, online banking, debit cards, digital wallets, cryptocurrency, online cash transfer services, and in some cases cash at partner locations, though availability varies by operator and state. Before registering anywhere, confirm the casino holds a valid gambling licence relevant to your state, and check that its site uses HTTPS encryption to protect your data.
No guarantees on outcomes
Return to Player (RTP) figures cited in our content represent a long-term theoretical average across many thousands of rounds. RTP does not predict what happens in any single session, and it is not a guarantee of winnings. All casino games carry risk, and you should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose or with funds that are borrowed.
Responsible gambling
If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, or feels difficult to control, we encourage you to stop and seek support. Most licensed US casinos offer deposit limits, time-out tools and self-exclusion programmes directly through their account settings. National resources such as the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline are also available. For a fuller breakdown of limit-setting tools, self-exclusion and support organizations, see our Responsible Gambling page.
Changes to these terms
We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our commercial relationships, or the regulatory landscape. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of donttextdrive.com after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
Limitation of liability
We take care to research the operators we cover, but casino terms, licensing status, bonuses and payment options can change after publication. We are not liable for losses arising from your use of a third-party casino, from reliance on outdated information, or from decisions made based on our content. You should always verify current terms directly with the operator before signing up or depositing.
