How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Funny Tomato

At Funny Tomato (funny-tomato.com), every review you read is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out personally by site owner and lead reviewer James Wilson. This page explains exactly how we assess Mostbet and any other casino platform we cover, so you always know what our scores mean and how we arrived at them.

We believe Arizona players deserve honest, research-backed information before they deposit a single dollar. That commitment to transparency starts right here, with a full breakdown of our methodology.

Step-by-Step: How James Wilson Reviews a Casino

Step 1 — Initial Research and Background Check

Before James creates an account or places a single bet, he conducts background research on the operator. This includes verifying the company's registration details, looking up any regulatory history, reading player forum threads, and cross-referencing complaints on independent watchdog sites. No review begins without this groundwork.

Step 2 — Account Registration and Identity Verification

James personally registers a real account using his own details. He goes through the full KYC (Know Your Customer) process to assess how smooth, transparent, and secure the sign-up flow is. This step reveals friction points that only a real user would encounter.

Step 3 — Deposit Testing

Real money is deposited using multiple payment methods available to Arizona players. James tests deposit speeds, minimum limits, any hidden fees, and whether the process matches what is advertised on the site.

Step 4 — Bonus Claiming and Wagering

Promotions are claimed exactly as a new player would claim them. James reads the full terms and conditions, tracks wagering requirements in practice, and notes any restrictions that might not be immediately obvious from the bonus headline offer.

Step 5 — Game Play Testing

James plays a representative sample of games across categories — slots, table games, and live dealer titles where available. He evaluates loading speed, fairness indicators, software quality, and the overall entertainment experience.

Step 6 — Customer Support Evaluation

Support is contacted through every available channel — live chat, email, and any phone lines — at different times of day. James logs response times, the quality of answers, and how staff handle both simple and complex questions.

Step 7 — Withdrawal Testing

A withdrawal is requested to test processing times, any verification hurdles at the cashout stage, and whether the funds arrive within the stated timeframe.

Step 8 — Mobile Experience Review

The full review process is repeated on mobile, using both a browser and any dedicated app. James assesses layout, navigation, game availability, and whether the mobile experience matches the desktop version in quality.

Our Rating Criteria and Weightings

Each casino is scored out of 10 points across six core categories. The final overall score is a weighted average based on how much each category matters to a typical Arizona player.
