Open methodology

A score should explain a decision—not replace one.

PrizeLens scores are designed as compact research signals. This page shows the categories, evidence standards, uncertainty rules, and affiliate separation behind them.

Reliability signals

Operator history, consistency of published information, responsiveness to material changes, and available evidence—not popularity alone.

Total possible score: 100 points. Category weights may be refined when methodology changes are documented and materially justified.

Evidence standard

What counts as verified?

  • The information is supported by a current official operator page, rules document, terms, or direct source.
  • The source and review date can be recorded.
  • Material conditions are represented with context rather than reduced to a misleading headline.
  • Conflicting or missing evidence is disclosed instead of resolved through assumption.

Not rated is intentional

No evidence, no confident score.

PrizeLens may display “Not rated” when there is not enough current evidence to apply the methodology responsibly. It does not automatically mean the operator is unsafe or poor; it means the score is being withheld until the required information can be supported.

Affiliate separation

A casino can have an affiliate link and remain unrated or receive a lower score. Compensation does not purchase points or a guaranteed placement.

Scores can change

Rules, availability, redemption processes, and evidence change. Scores may be revised when material information is reverified.
