About Niekie
Niekie scores online casinos on whether they actually pay out. Two people are behind it, and both are named because a score nobody will put their name to is not worth much.
Built Niekie: the scoring pipeline, the licence and sanctions checks, the public status pages and the browser extension. Runs the data side of the audit day to day.
18 years auditing iGaming operators. Decided which signals count and what each is worth, which is the judgement the algorithm then applies identically to every operator.
Most casino ranking sites sell the top slot. The order is chosen commercially and the review is written afterwards to justify it. That is legal, and it is not what it looks like.
Niekie was built the other way round. An algorithm computes every score from recorded data, the order of a ranking is that score sorted, and the method is published in full on how we score. We take affiliate commission on some links and say so on every page, and it is not an input to the formula.
Corrections to an operator's data are the most useful thing you can send, and they go straight into the queue. Contact us here.
