Why side-by-side facts beat marketing pages
A casino homepage is a marketing document; its terms and conditions are a legal one. The comparator reads from neither: every row comes from the FEC fact sheet for that brand, compiled from the licence certificate, the operating entity named in the site footer and terms, and the restricted-country clauses verified against the first-party text where available. Two casinos that look interchangeable in their promotions frequently differ on the three clauses that decide disputes - jurisdiction, operating entity, and country eligibility.
A licence is not a licence
The licence row deserves more weight than any bonus number. Jurisdictions differ materially in what they require of an operator and what recourse a player has when a withdrawal stalls: a licence with an active dispute channel and published sanctions is a different instrument from a registration that amounts to a mailbox. When two compared casinos hold licences from different jurisdictions, that difference - not the welcome offer - is usually the larger fact.
The same-operator problem
The comparator raises a warning when selected casinos share an operating company. The match is exact against the certified operating entity in the FEC Operator Atlas, not a guess from similar branding. The point is counterparty risk: two accounts at brands run by the same entity are, in substance, one relationship. A payment problem at one brand tends to predict the second, bonus-abuse clauses are commonly enforced across sister sites as if they were a single venue, and self-exclusion at one brand does not always propagate to the other - in either direction, an outcome worth knowing before registering.
Country availability, verified first party
The first row answers the question that voids more winnings than any wagering clause: whether the casino accepts players from a given country at all. Registering from a restricted country typically proceeds without obstacle - the check arrives at withdrawal, in the KYC stage, where clause and passport meet. FEC restricted-country data is compiled from the terms and conditions of the casino itself wherever the text is published; where only secondary sources exist, the fact sheet says so.
Reading the table
A dash means the fact is unverified, not absent - the dataset never substitutes an assumption for a missing verification. Status warnings (flagged, suspended, blacklisted) appear with their documented reason and do not remove a casino from the tool: transparency about a problem is more useful than its concealment. The comparison can be shared: the address bar carries the selection, so a link reproduces the same table for the recipient.
