Terms and Conditions – American Casinos

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using American Casinos, accessible at bagandbored.net. By browsing or using this website in any way, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

1. About American Casinos

American Casinos is an independent comparison and review website. We research, evaluate, and publish information about online casino platforms available to residents of the United States. We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, hold player funds, or provide any gambling service ourselves. Every gambling platform listed on this site is operated by a separate, independent third party, and it is that operator's own terms and conditions — not ours — that govern any account you open with them.

2. Affiliate Disclosure

American Casinos earns revenue through affiliate relationships with the casino operators featured on this site. When you follow a link from this site and register an account or make a purchase with an operator, we may receive a commission. This commission is paid by the operator and adds no cost to you.

Commercial relationships do not determine how casinos are ranked or rated. Our editorial assessments are based on independent research into factors including regulatory standing, game range, bonus conditions, banking options, and customer support. An operator cannot buy a higher position on this site.

3. Who May Use This Site

This website is intended for adults only. To use bagandbored.net and to gamble legally online in the United States, you must meet all of the following requirements:

Age: You must be at least 21 years old. Some forms of gambling in some states carry an 18-year minimum, but 21 is the standard threshold for casino-style gaming in regulated US markets.
Location: Online casino gaming is only lawful in states where it has been expressly authorised by legislation. You are responsible for confirming that real-money online gambling is permitted where you are physically located at the time of play.
Physical presence: Most licensed US online casino operators are required by state law to verify that you are physically within a permitted state when you place a wager. This is typically enforced through geolocation technology on the casino's platform.
Eligibility under operator terms: Each casino sets its own residency, identity, and account eligibility criteria. Check the relevant operator's terms before registering.

By using this site, you confirm that you meet the age requirement above and that you are accessing it from a jurisdiction where doing so is lawful.

4. Nature of the Information We Provide

The reviews, ratings, comparisons, and editorial content published on American Casinos are based on research carried out by our team. We do not purchase casino products, make deposits, or conduct live play-testing. Information is verified against publicly available operator terms, licensing records, and regulatory announcements as of the date shown on each page.

Casino offers, bonus terms, game libraries, payment methods, and withdrawal conditions change frequently and without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep content current, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate at the moment you read it. Always verify the current terms directly with the operator before opening an account or claiming a bonus. The date shown as "Updated" on each page reflects our last editorial review, not a guarantee of real-time accuracy.

5. No Guarantee of Winnings

Nothing on this site constitutes a promise, prediction, or guarantee of financial return from gambling. Casino games involve chance. Every game carries a house edge, meaning the operator has a mathematical advantage over time. Return to Player (RTP) figures represent long-run statistical averages across many thousands of game rounds — they do not predict what any individual player will receive in any session. You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose entirely, and you should never gamble with borrowed money or funds allocated to essential expenses.

6. Licensing, Regulation, and Game Fairness

Where US state law permits real-money online casino gaming, operators must hold a valid licence issued by that state's gaming regulator. Licensing requirements typically include:

Background checks on owners, directors, and key staff
Minimum technical standards for platform security and game integrity
Use of certified Random Number Generators (RNGs) for applicable games
Independent auditing of game outcomes and payout percentages
Player fund segregation and dispute resolution procedures

American Casinos only lists operators that appear to hold appropriate authorisation in their stated market. However, we are not a licensing body and cannot make representations about the current licence status of any operator. Verify an operator's licence directly with the relevant state regulator before depositing funds. For real money online casino options in the US, our main listings page notes the regulatory context for each operator we cover.

Social casino and sweepstakes platforms operate under a different legal model: they do not require a gambling licence because they do not accept money wagered for cash prizes in the traditional sense. Their compliance is governed by sweepstakes law, which varies by state. Some states prohibit these platforms entirely. Check the operator's terms for a list of eligible and excluded states before registering.

7. Bonuses — How They Work and What to Check

Bonus offers shown on this site are taken from operators' published promotions at the time of our last review. Before claiming any offer, read the operator's full bonus terms. Key conditions to check include:

Wagering requirements: The amount you must wager before bonus funds or winnings derived from them can be withdrawn. A 30× requirement on a $100 bonus means $3,000 in qualifying bets.
Game restrictions: Many bonuses only contribute at reduced rates — or not at all — when played on certain games. Live dealer tables and progressive jackpot slots are commonly excluded.
Time limits: Bonuses and any free spins typically expire within a fixed window (often 7–30 days) if wagering requirements are not met.
Maximum withdrawal caps: Winnings generated from a bonus may be subject to a ceiling, regardless of how much you accumulate.
Minimum deposit: Most deposit-match offers require a qualifying deposit above a stated minimum.

Gold Coin (GC) and Sweeps Coin (SC) offers shown for social casino and sweepstakes platforms follow different rules from traditional real-money bonuses — SC balances may be redeemable for prizes subject to operator-specific eligibility, but GC is for entertainment play only with no redemption value.

8. Payment Methods and Banking

Payment options vary by operator and by the state in which you are located. Methods commonly supported by US-facing platforms include ACH bank transfers, debit cards, online banking, digital wallets, online cash transfer services, cryptocurrency, and — at some operators — cash deposits at partner retail locations. Processing times, minimum and maximum transaction amounts, and any applicable fees are set by each operator individually. Identity verification (KYC) is required before withdrawals can be processed at regulated real-money platforms: expect to supply proof of identity, proof of address, and in some cases proof of your payment method. Our main casino listings page includes notes on banking options for the platforms we review.

9. Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity. It carries real financial risk, and for some people it can become harmful. American Casinos encourages every reader to set clear limits before they play and to use the responsible gambling tools that licensed operators are required to provide. These typically include deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion programmes.

If gambling is no longer enjoyable, or if it is affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, please seek support. The following organisations offer free, confidential help:

National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 (24/7, call or text)
National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG): ncpgambling.org
Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org

State-level self-exclusion programmes are administered by each state's gaming regulator. Enrolling in a state's self-exclusion list bars you from participating at licensed operators within that state. For more detail, visit our responsible gambling page.

American Casinos does not accept advertising from, and does not link to, any operator that targets excluded or vulnerable persons.

10. Security and Privacy
