About North Star Casino Guide

North Star Casino Guide is an independent comparison site covering online casino options available to players in Minnesota. We are not a casino, we do not take wagers, and we are not affiliated with any tribal gaming operator or with the State of Minnesota.

It sits alongside our Minnesota casino comparison, the comparison this site is built around.

What this site does

Minnesota has no state-licensed online casino. Real-money online casino play is not licensed by the Minnesota Gambling Control Board, and the sites listed on this site operate offshore, outside the state's regulatory perimeter. Our job is to describe that landscape accurately: which offshore operators accept Minnesota players, how quickly each one actually pays out, which licensing authority stands behind it, and what the bonus terms really say once you read past the headline number.

We publish the things that are usually left out. Payout windows are recorded per rail rather than as a single flattering figure, because e-wallet and bank-transfer timings differ by days, and quoting only the fastest one misleads. Licensing authorities are recorded with their sources. Where a fact could not be verified from a source that names the operator, we say that it is an estimate rather than presenting a guess as research.

How we make money

We earn commission when a reader signs up with an operator through a link on this site. That relationship is disclosed on every page that carries such a link, and every commercial link is marked rel="sponsored" so search engines can see it too. Commission does not buy placement. The order of our toplist is set editorially and is not for sale.

Corrections

Bonus terms, payout policies and licensing arrangements change without notice. If you find something on this site that is out of date or wrong, tell us and we will correct it. We would rather publish a correction than leave a reader working from a stale number.

Who is behind it

Editorial is led by Marla Whitfield, Casino Reviews Editor. Every review and ranking on the site is attributed, and every page carries the date it was last updated so you can judge for yourself how current it is.
