Most casino-comparison sites repeat the same operator marketing. MrMega publishes original research we compile ourselves from primary sources. This page sets out the datasets and investigations behind our ratings, so you can see the work rather than take a score on trust. Our full process is on the How We Test page. MrMega is operated by Sharp Connection Ltd, Malta.
The operator-network map
Many casinos that present themselves as separate brands are skins on a small number of platform operators, sharing one licence and one cashier. Within a single operator, payout speed, bonus terms and support are structurally the same, so comparing two sibling brands tells you nothing. We map the operator and licensing behind each brand we cover, from the regulator’s register and the operators’ own published terms, and we compare operators rather than logos. You will see this on each review under “who actually runs this brand”.
Verified withdrawal-terms dataset
We read operators’ actual terms and conditions, clause by clause, and record the withdrawal caps, processing times and fees they publish, with the source and the date checked. These are taken from the operators’ own documents, not from marketing pages. Where a figure is not published, we say so rather than estimate it.
Case study: two brands, one operator, identical terms
A clear example of why this matters: RoyalistPlay and DirectionBet present as separate brands, but their withdrawal clauses (sections 8.6 to 8.9 of their respective terms) are word-for-word identical, including a EUR5,000 per seven-day cap, an 8% administration fee on multiple withdrawals within 30 days, and a EUR100,000 daily winnings cap. Identical legal text across two separately marketed sites is direct, primary-source evidence that they run on the same operator, Next Global Era, on shared Anjouan licensing. Choosing between them is choosing the same cashier, caps and support twice.
The MrMega Trust Index
Every brand is scored on the MrMega Trust Index, which weights verifiable evidence: regulatory record and any enforcement history, licence tier, transparency of terms, withdrawal conditions, and responsible-gambling provision. It deliberately does not reward bonus size. The score on each review is the first number out of 100 in the brand’s Trust Index table, and it reflects what we found, not what the operator claims.
How this connects to our reviews
Each review draws on these datasets: the operator-network reveal, the verified terms where we hold them, the regulator-register check, and the Trust Index. We update them as licences and terms change, and we show a last-checked date so you can judge how current a review is. See How We Test for the full method, and About MrMega for who we are.
