Sixteen casinos, one scoring method and the arithmetic behind every bonus. I tell you which sites are worth your deposit in 2026 and why.

I am Mārtiņš, and this site is my take on the online casinos that players in Latvia actually choose between: twelve with a Latvian licence and four foreign sites that keep appearing in the conversation. Each one gets a full review and a score out of 10, and my ranking of all 16 casinos puts them side by side.

My approach is simple. I start with the licence, then I do the maths on the bonus, because a €500 offer at 35x and a €400 offer at 30x are very different things once you count the turnover. After that come payout speed, games, mobile and the operator behind the brand. That is how the X3000 casino review ends up at the top, and why a bigger headline bonus does not automatically mean a higher score.

Beyond the reviews you will find guides that go deeper into single topics: the wagering maths behind bonuses, payment methods from Trustly to crypto, the Latvian licence system now that the IAUI is part of VID, and the fastest withdrawal casinos. Everything is written for Latvian players and based on published terms and official lists, not on press releases.
