# CasinoTop

> CasinoTop is a casino decision platform. It structures the online casino and sweepstakes market into comparison-first pages — scored operators, explicit trade-offs, and ranked rationale — backed by our own structured data and decision infrastructure, so a reader can decide with confidence.

CasinoTop's mission is to be the most trustworthy way to choose an online or sweepstakes casino. Every ranking is backed by our own infrastructure systems (see Data & Infrastructure below) and kept structurally separate from commercial relationships. The pages below explain what CasinoTop is, how it evaluates operators, and the infrastructure behind its ratings.

## Data & Infrastructure

CasinoTop's ratings are powered by four infrastructure systems we operate, which structure and validate information from operator disclosures, regulatory sources, and other public evidence:

- [Casino Data Index (CDI)](https://www.casinodataindex.io/): Structures operator and market data into a consistent schema — the attribute records that make operators comparable across listings and markets.
- [Gaming License Index (GLI)](https://www.gaminglicenseindex.org/): Licensing and regulatory verification signals, used to cross-reference operator-disclosed licensing status against an independent source.
- [SlotIndex](https://www.slotindex.io/): Slot, provider, RTP, and game metadata, used on slot pages and to describe the game libraries operators offer.
- [PayoutIndex (POI)](https://www.payoutindex.org/): Payout-speed data — how long operators take to pay out, shown as declared and user-reported withdrawal/redemption windows.
