About us
We are a small independent newsroom based in Lisbon. We have been writing about licensed online casinos in Portugal since 2026.
Who we are
Figaro Casino Review was founded in 2026 by three people with backgrounds in business journalism, digital product analysis and regulatory compliance. We are not an operator, we do not accept deposits and we do not manage anyone else’s account. We publish reviews and informative material.
What we do
We open real accounts, deposit small amounts from our own editorial budget, request withdrawals and time the whole process. Then we write down what happened. When a brand improves we update the review; when it gets worse, we update it too.
What we do not do
We do not sell scores. No operator can buy a better position in our comparison, change a sentence in a review or prevent criticism from being published. We do not publish outcome predictions and we never suggest that guaranteed profit is possible.
How we are funded
Some links to operators are commercial. If you open an account through them, we may receive a commission from the operator. You never pay more for it, and the commission does not influence the ranking or the score. Everything is explained in detail on our Disclosure page.
Corrections
If you find a factual error — a licence number, a promotional condition, a payment deadline — write to us. We correct it and flag the correction with its date.
Our principles
- 01Independence. No operator holds a veto over what we write.
- 02Verifiability. Every factual claim points to a public source you can check.
- 03Prudence. We never present betting as a source of income.
- 04Clarity. Plain language. No small print buried in footnotes.
