About New Online Casinos Guide
New Online Casinos Guide is an independent editorial team that tests and ranks new online casinos for players in the United States. We are readers first — we sign up, deposit our own money, play, and cash out before we publish a single ranking.
This site is led by Christopher Deluca, our casino reviewer based in Denver, Colorado. Chris grew up in Aurora with his mom who worked at King Soopers and his stepdad who did HVAC repairs. He's got two younger sisters he's pretty protective of. School wasn't really his thing, so he got his GED at 19 and started working warehouse logistics at a distribution center near the airport. Worked his way up to operations director by 23 just by being reliable and figuring out systems nobody else wanted to deal with. He lives with his girlfriend and their husky in a rental off Colfax, spends his Sundays watching the Broncos (even when they're rough), and is always down to grill out and throw darts in the backyard. Got into online casinos during the pandemic when sports betting went legal in Colorado – started with DraftKings during a Nuggets game and got hooked on the whole industry. He's genuinely into learning how different platforms work and which ones actually treat players right. Had a bad experience with an offshore site that ghosted him on a withdrawal, so now he's kinda obsessive about transparency and helping people avoid shady operators. It's become his thing – researching casinos while watching games, talking strategy with his buddies.
How we stay independent. We earn commission when a reader signs up through some of our links, but that never changes a ranking. A casino cannot pay to move up our list. When an operator slips — slow payouts, a bonus that isn't what it claimed, a support team that goes quiet — we say so, and we move it down.
Our testing loop. Every casino goes through the same checks: account creation, a real deposit, live play across slots and tables, a withdrawal test timed from request to money-in-hand, and a support conversation. We re-check our top picks regularly because new online casinos change their terms often.
