Position is not an opinion. It comes from four numbers recorded at every operator, in the same order, on accounts this desk funded itself.

• Redeemable credit. The portion of the welcome that can convert. Gold Coin totals are recorded for context and scored at zero.
• Redemption floor. The minimum balance the operator will process. The distance between credit and floor is the real cost of the welcome.
• Free clearance. Measured days on free routes to close that distance, never estimated from a promotions page.
• Time to money. Hours from filing to funds received, filed at the floor rather than at a comfortable balance.

How they combine

Redeemable credit against the floor sets the order, because that decides whether a new player has a withdrawal available or a project to complete. Ties break on the clock. Free clearance then adjusts an operator up or down where the daily routes are unusually generous or thin. Nothing else moves a position.

Score and position are different instruments

The score out of five covers games, interface, support and how honestly promotions are worded. An operator can be a pleasure to use and still sit low because its cashier is slow. Keeping them apart is deliberate, and where they disagree the review says so.

Conflicts and refreshes

Some outbound links are commercial. Figures are recorded before any link exists and never revised, which is why commercial partners sit low on this sheet. Everything is re-tested each sweep with the month printed at the top of the homepage.
