Our editorial team
Two-person team. One Senior Editor on the floor of every WSOP since 2018, one Compliance Lead with six years inside the UK Gambling Commission. Every room you see on PokerDownload.io has been tested by us, with our own money, in the last 90 days.
How we cover poker rooms
- Real-money testing. Every room is funded, played, and cashed out before it makes the list.
- Live promo-code verification. Each code on this site has been tested through the operator's live signup flow inside 14 days.
- Independent licensing checks. Licensing claims are checked against the public registers of the UKGC, MGA, Curacao GCB, NJDGE, MGCB and PGCB.
- No pay-to-rank. Operators cannot buy higher placement. Rankings are based on software, game traffic, cashout times, rake and bonus value.
