How we earn money
The Ledger is supported by affiliate commissions. When you click certain links on this site and go on to register with an operator, we may earn a referral fee. This does not cost you anything extra, and it does not influence which operators we list, how we rank them, or what we say about them in a review. We do not accept payment in exchange for a favorable review, a higher ranking, or removal of a negative point.
Who we list — and who we don't
We only list and link to online casinos currently licensed by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) and legally operating in New Jersey. Before adding or renewing any listing, we check the operator against the DGE's official list of Internet Gaming Authorized Sites. We do not list offshore or unregulated operators under any circumstances, regardless of any commission they may offer.
How we verify each operator
Every review on this site is built from the following checks, repeated on a monthly cycle:
| Check | What we do |
|---|---|
| License status | Confirm the operator's current DGE license and land-based casino partner against the official registry. |
| Bonus terms | Read the operator's current terms and conditions in full — wagering multiplier, game weighting, expiry, and maximum bonus cashout — rather than relying on marketing summaries. |
| Payout speed | Track actual withdrawal times we or our contributors have experienced, noted with the date tested. |
| Responsible gambling tools | Confirm the operator provides deposit limits, time-outs, and access to the DGE self-exclusion program. |
What our ratings do and don't mean
Our ratings reflect our own editorial assessment of licensing status, bonus transparency, game library, and payout reliability at the time of review. They are not a guarantee of any outcome from gambling, which always carries financial risk regardless of which operator you choose. No bonus advertised on this site is risk-free or guaranteed to result in winnings.
Advertising standards we hold ourselves to
In line with New Jersey's advertising rules for regulated gaming, we do not use language suggesting a bet or bonus is "risk-free" or that winnings are guaranteed, we do not misrepresent wagering requirements, and every page carrying gambling advertising displays the 1-800-GAMBLER helpline clearly. If you believe any page on this site falls short of that standard, please contact us and we will correct it.
Corrections and updates
Bonus terms, license status, and payout performance change over time. If you find outdated or inaccurate information on this site, contact us at [insert contact email] and we will investigate and correct it promptly.
