Terms and Conditions
By accessing or using American Casinos at causeforpawsohio.com, you agree to be bound by the terms set out on this page. Please read them carefully before relying on any content here. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.
1. What This Site Is
American Casinos is an independent comparison and information website. We research, review and compare online casinos available to residents of the United States. We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, hold player funds or provide any gambling services ourselves. Every gambling service listed here is provided by a third-party operator, and it is that operator's own terms, licence and rules that govern your play.
Our guide to the best online casinos in the USA explains how we assess and rank the casinos we cover.
2. Affiliate Disclosure and Editorial Independence
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you follow one of those links and create an account or make a deposit, American Casinos may receive a commission from the casino operator. This is at no additional cost to you.
Commercial relationships do not determine how casinos are ranked or rated on this site. Our editorial assessments are based on independently verified criteria — including withdrawal speed, licensing, game range, bonus conditions and payment options — not on the size of any commission arrangement. We note where a relationship exists so you can weigh that context yourself.
3. Age Eligibility and Residency
You must be at least 21 years old to use this website and to gamble legally at any online casino listed here. Some forms of gambling in certain US states permit play at 18, but the federal and most state frameworks for online casino gambling set the minimum at 21. By using this site you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement for your jurisdiction.
Online casino gambling is only lawful in states where it has been specifically authorised. In most states that permit real-money online casino play, you must also be physically located within that state at the time of play — residency alone is not enough. It is your responsibility to confirm that online casino gambling is legal where you are located before registering with any operator.
American Casinos does not verify the age or location of visitors to this site. We do not encourage or condone underage gambling under any circumstances.
4. Accuracy of Information
We work to keep the information on this site current and accurate. However, casino offers, bonus terms, payment options, game libraries and operating conditions change frequently and without notice. The following limitations apply:
- Bonus amounts, wagering requirements, free spin counts and expiry dates reflect the information available at the time of our last review. Always verify current terms directly with the casino before claiming an offer.
- Editorial ratings represent our independent assessment at the time of review. They are not customer-review scores and do not reflect guaranteed outcomes.
- Return to Player (RTP) figures quoted anywhere on this site are long-run statistical averages published by game developers or independent testing labs. They do not predict what any individual player will experience in any session.
- Withdrawal timeframes described on this site are based on information supplied by or publicly available from operators. Actual processing times may vary depending on your chosen payment method, verification status and the operator's own queue at the time.
We recommend treating any figure or offer on this site as a starting point for your own research, not as a contractual guarantee.
5. No Guarantee of Winnings
Nothing on this site suggests, implies or guarantees that you will win money by playing at any casino listed here. All casino games — whether slots, table games or live-dealer formats — carry a built-in house edge. Outcomes are determined by certified random number generators or live dealing, and results in any single session bear no reliable relationship to published RTP averages.
You should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with borrowed money, and never chase losses.
6. Responsible Gambling
American Casinos takes problem gambling seriously. We encourage every reader to approach gambling as entertainment, to set firm time and spending limits before they play, and to use the responsible gambling tools every licensed operator is required to provide.
If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, support is available:
- National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 (24/7, free, confidential)
- Gamblers Anonymous: ga.org
- National Problem Gambling Helpline Chat: ncpgambling.org
Licensed US operators are required to offer self-exclusion programmes and deposit and spending limits. Use them. Our responsible gambling page explains these tools in more detail and links to state-level resources.
7. Third-Party Websites
Links on this site lead to casino operators and other third-party websites. American Casinos has no control over those sites' content, privacy practices or terms. Following a link to a casino operator means you are entering that operator's own environment, subject to their terms of service, privacy policy and the rules of their regulator. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that arises from your use of a third-party site.
8. Intellectual Property
All original content on causeforpawsohio.com — including written reviews, comparison tables, editorial ratings and site design — is the property of American Casinos or its licensed content contributors. It is protected under applicable copyright law. You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute or republish any material from this site for commercial purposes without prior written consent.
Casino brand names, logos and trademarks that appear on this site belong to their respective owners and are referenced here for identification and comparison purposes only. Their appearance does not imply endorsement of American Casinos by those operators.
9. Limitation of Liability
American Casinos provides information on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all liability for:
- Losses arising from decisions made on the basis of content on this site
- Inaccuracies in bonus terms, payout rates or availability that result from changes made by operators after our last review
- Technical issues, interruptions or errors on third-party casino sites
- Any gambling losses incurred at operators listed or linked from this site
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under US law.
10. Privacy
This site may collect certain data from visitors, including information submitted through contact forms and standard server log data. We do not sell personal data. For full details of what we collect, why and how long we keep it, please review our privacy practices or contact us directly.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms at any time to reflect changes in the law, our editorial practices or the services we cover. Amended terms take effect as soon as they are posted to this page. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when the content was last reviewed. Continued use of the site after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
If you have questions about anything on this page, or about how a particular casino was assessed, you can reach us through the contact page.
Gambling in the US: a brief note on legal standing
Online casino gambling for real money is legal only in states that have passed enabling legislation — currently a small number of states including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut and Delaware, among others. The legal position is changing, and new states periodically regulate the activity. It remains unlawful in most of the country.
American Casinos covers casinos that hold licences from recognised US state regulators or, where noted, from established offshore jurisdictions that accept US players. A valid licence means the operator is subject to oversight on game fairness, player fund protection and responsible gambling obligations. It does not remove your own responsibility to confirm that using a given site is lawful in your state at the time you play.
Players are responsible for knowing and complying with the gambling laws of their own state. American Casinos cannot provide legal advice, and nothing on this site should be read as a determination that online gambling is lawful for you specifically.
