TOP-10 brands with impeccable safety records
Methodology: what points are awarded for
We rate each brand on 10 points, 0-10 points (max. 100). The threshold for entering the TOP is ≥80/100 and the absence of "red flags."
1. License and ADR - punched number in the registry, an understandable route of the complaint to the independent ombudsman.
2. Secured/segregated & escrow - named bank/EMI/custodian, there are escrow conditions and thresholds.
3. Payments (SLA/statuses) - predictable dates, statuses in the office, partial withdrawal.
4. RNG/RTP audit - eCOGRA/GLI/iTech Labs and active RTP profile disclosure.
5. Honesty live - multicamera, "no more bets," misdeal/refund policy, history of ID rounds.
6. Responsible Gambling - limits/timeouts/self-exclusion, reality check, "quiet mode," affordability if necessary.
7. Information security and privacy - 2FA, protected KYC loading, minimization and shelf life, with ISO 27001/SOC 2/pentests.
8. Anti-fraud without "punitive" - step-up checks with human-review and appeal deadlines before ADR.
9. Transparent T&C and bonuses - exact wagers/limits/bet contributions, rule versioning.
10. Support - domain mail/tickets, SLA responses, escalation to supervisor, public Complaints/ADR.
Red flags (disqualification): PNG badges of the license without reference to the registry; no mention of safeguarded/escrow; no RTP/certificates; live without round history; KYC request "to instant messengers."
How to collect evidence (5-10 minutes per brand)
Break the license in the register of the regulator (UKGC/MGA/Gibraltar/Isle of Man/AGCO/Spelinspektionen/, etc.).
Check Fairness/Complaints/ADR/Responsible Gambling/Privacy sections.
Open 2-3 top slots → see RTP and version; ask the active profile in support.
Check out House Rules and the history of the rounds in live.
Assess SLA by withdrawal and presence of partial withdrawal.
Make sure that there is 2FA and a secure KYC form on the brand domain.

How to keep the list up to date
Recheck brands quarterly or with any significant news (audit, incident, sanctions).
Keep the "dossier" (screenshots/links) and the date of the last update at the end of the article.
If the brand falls below 80/100, take it into "observation" or exclude it until corrected.
TOP "impeccable" security brands should not rely on opinions, but on proven practices: license and ADR, secured/escrow, certified games and honest live procedures, RG tools, data protection, predictable payments and structured support. Use a technique and template - and your list will remain useful and verifiable even when the market changes.
