How a firm earns a listing

✓

Two years of verifiable payout history

New firms get tracked in the background, but don't appear here until there's a real track record to check — not just a launch promo.

✓

Cross-checked against trader reports

Trustpilot, Reddit, and Discord complaint patterns are checked for denied payouts or retroactive rule changes before a firm is added.

✓

No unresolved disputes

Firms with active lawsuits, unresolved mass-payout complaints, or recent retroactive rule changes are held off the watchlist until things settle.

✓

Re-verified every month

Pricing, rules, and standing get re-checked monthly. A firm that goes quiet on payouts gets pulled, not left up out of convenience.
