Deck Scores, opened up
Method v1 · Behind every score in the finder
A score you can't audit is a sticker. This page is the audit trail: what goes in, how it's weighted, and what a Deck Score refuses to claim.
Where does every offer start?
At 10.0. Points come off as conditions add cost or friction; nothing adds points except lighter conditions. Commercial relationships add and remove exactly zero — the funding is disclosed on every screen and stops at the method's front door.
What takes points off?
| Check | What we measure | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Wagering weight | The turnover multiple and its scope — deposit + bonus roughly doubles real turnover vs. bonus-only | Heaviest |
| Game weighting | Contribution rates by game; low table weighting stretches every other number | Medium |
| Clocks & caps | Expiry windows (under 14 days penalised hard), max-bet rules, excluded games, staged releases | Medium |
| Value form | Cash-equivalent value scores above credits and tickets, whose face value overstates worth | Medium |
How does that land on a 0–10 scale?
- 9–10 — conditions a careful reader calls fair; rare air.
- 7.5–8.9 — solid offers carrying one heavy condition worth respecting.
- 6–7.4 — the fine print takes a real bite out of the headline.
- Under 6 — conditions that defeat the offer's point. We'll say so plainly.
Can you show the math?
A hypothetical, to show the method — not any casino's real offer:
| Example offer | A 100% match with a mid-range wagering multiple applied to deposit + bonus, on a 30-day clock |
|---|---|
| Turnover | The multiple × (deposit + bonus) — a heavier multiple, or one that covers the deposit too, raises it sharply |
| Deductions | Scope (deposit + bonus): significant · game weighting: varies · short clock: adds friction · cash vs credits/spins: matters |
| Result | The score falls as those costs rise. We publish each casino's real score on the finder — always check the operator's own terms for the numbers. |
What does a Deck Score never mean?
It never predicts a win, never discounts the house edge, and never makes an offer "worth chasing." Most bonus play ends at a net loss — that's the product working as designed, not a scoring error. Scores price conditions. Luck remains unscored.
Where does the data come from?
Operator-published terms for conditions; the Gibraltar, Kahnawake, AGLC and AGCO registries for licence facts. Every page shows its last-verified date and sits in a re-check rotation. Between checks, the operator's live terms outrank us — always confirm at the casino before depositing.
