How reviews are produced
Online casino reviews are based on live checks performed on production websites. Each review aims to include factual, reproducible details that matter to players connecting from the UAE.
| Step | What is checked | Outcome recorded |
|---|---|---|
| Account and KYC | Registration flow, accepted countries, document requests, average KYC approval time | Country acceptance notes, KYC steps, observed approval window when available |
| Payments in practice | Deposit options visible to UAE connections, minimums, fees, crypto availability, method parity for withdrawals | Table of methods, typical min/max, comments on method availability after login |
| Bonuses and rules | Wagering, game weightings, max cashout, time limits, any restricted methods for bonuses | Plain-language summary of the key restrictions with examples |
| Payout timing | Cash-out request flow, required re-verification, processing speed by method when stated | Typical processing windows (e.g., e-wallets vs cards), plus any weekly caps noted in T&Cs |
| Support and Arabic | Live chat hours, ticket response, Arabic interface or agents where available | Support hours and channels, Arabic availability confirmation when present |
| Ongoing updates | Re-checks after operator policy changes | Changelog at the top of each review with date and summary |
When public information conflicts between sources, Salem prioritizes the casino’s current terms and conditions and in-account cashier notes, adding clarifications directly in the review.
Editorial standards

- Clear separation of facts and opinion: pros and cons are labeled and kept short.
- Conflict of interest policy: affiliate partnerships never change factual statements or ratings.
- Accessibility and tone: plain English and Arabic options, short paragraphs, and simple tables for limits and fees.
- Error handling: corrections are logged in a review changelog with date and summary.
Responsible gaming and UAE compliance
UAE has a federal authority for commercial gaming. Unlicensed commercial gaming within the UAE remains illegal. UAE-onlinecasinos.com publishes information for awareness only and does not encourage unlawful access. Readers should follow local laws, be 18+, and use responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits, cool-offs, and self-exclusion where offered.
- Age gate: content is intended for 18+ audiences only.
- Safety first: choose secure payment methods and complete KYC early to reduce payout delays.
- If gambling creates issues, seek professional help resources available in your jurisdiction.
Disclosure and independence
UAE Online Casinos may receive commissions from partner brands when readers follow outbound links. This does not affect which operators are listed or how they are described. Salem’s reviews may include both positive and negative findings, and operators cannot buy editorial changes.
