We test casinos so you don't have to gamble on which one to gamble at.
JordanBetGuide started in late 2024 with a simple frustration: every "review" we read about online casinos was either ad copy in disguise, or written by someone who had clearly never deposited a dinar. We wanted a resource we could actually use ourselves. So we built it.
Who We Are
JordanBetGuide is run by a small editorial team based in Amman, with deposit-level testing relationships at every operator we cover. We are not a casino. We are not owned by a casino. We make money the same way most independent review sites do: when our recommendations convert, the operator pays us a fixed fee — but the recommendation itself is editorial. No operator gets to write, edit, or veto our coverage.
That distinction matters. If an operator pays for placement, you'll see it labelled. If a review is sponsored, you'll see that too. The default assumption with anything on this site is: this is our honest read after we tested it ourselves.
Our 32-Point Testing Methodology
Every casino we cover is scored against the same 32 criteria, grouped into eight categories. Each category is scored 1–5; the final score is the weighted average.
1. Licensing & Trust (4 points, weight 1.5×)
- Active licence from a recognised regulator
- Public ownership and corporate registration
- No outstanding regulatory actions in the past 24 months
- Verified SSL/TLS configuration and security headers
2. Bonuses & Promotions (4 points, weight 1.0×)
- Wagering on bonus-only vs deposit+bonus
- Wagering multiplier (we cap "good" at 35×)
- Time window (14+ days is acceptable)
- Eligible games breadth and contribution table clarity
3. Game Library (4 points, weight 1.0×)
- Total verified slot count
- Top-5 provider coverage
- Live dealer table availability and language options
- Demo mode availability
4. Payouts (4 points, weight 1.5×)

- Withdrawal fee schedule
- Pending period before processing
- Maximum withdrawal caps
5. Support (4 points, weight 1.5×)
- Live chat response time (sampled four times across 24 hours)
- Arabic language support quality
- Agent product knowledge (tested with deliberate edge-case questions)
- Channel availability (chat, email, phone)
6. Mobile Experience (4 points, weight 1.0×)
- Time to interactive on LTE
- Cashier flow on mobile
- Live dealer stream stability
- Native app availability
7. Responsible Gambling (4 points, weight 1.0×)
- Deposit, loss, and session limits with one-click enforcement
- Self-exclusion options and cool-off periods

- Reality-check pop-ups during long sessions
8. Regional Fit (4 points, weight 1.5×)
- Account currencies and FX cost
- Payment methods available locally
- Geo-availability of providers
- Cultural localisation (calendar, language, tone)
We retest every operator quarterly. Scores that change by more than 0.3 points trigger a full re-review.

Transparency & Disclosure
A few things we want you to know up front:
- We earn affiliate commissions. When you click through to an operator from this site and register, we may earn a fixed fee. The fee does not change our scoring — every operator in our index pays the same standard rate, and several pay us nothing at all.
- Featured placements exist. A small number of slots on our homepage are paid placements. These are always labelled "Featured" and scored against the same methodology as everything else.
- We don't accept gifts. Free trips, hospitality, comp credits — nothing comes into the editorial team from operators. Period.
- We correct mistakes publicly. If we get something wrong, the correction appears at the top of the affected page with a date stamp.
- We don't write under fake names. Every reviewer on this site is a real person with verifiable history. Their names are on the bylines and on this page.
