How these numbers are calculated

Every stat on these pages rebuilds from the live BonusBandit production database at deploy time: no hardcoded numbers, no stale snapshots, no editorial cleanup. Trust scores come from the seven-factor composite described on the methodology page. First-hand redemption times are measured by us submitting real cashouts with real money. Complaint penalties fire on documented legal events that name an operator (a filed lawsuit, a regulatory action, an exit-scam alert), scaled to severity by the published penalty rubric, plus a separately recorded editorial penalty where an editor has set one after a corroborated complaint cluster. Aggregated complaint sentiment never sets a penalty by itself. It is read elsewhere: our complaint index is built from Trustpilot's public star distribution, and a documented review pull can set an operator's player-reviews factor inside the composite, which the score history records operator by operator.

If you want to cite these numbers, please link the specific stat page rather than this hub. Each subpage carries its own Dataset schema, freshness date, and per-operator detail. The most-recent verification across the catalog as of build time is 2026-08-13; rebuilds pick up new evidence as it lands.
