CasinoRankr is not CasinoRank.
We get this question weekly. One letter of difference, two entirely different products. If you landed here looking for the AskGamblers rating system, you have the wrong site. If you landed here looking for community-driven casino reviews, you have the right one. Here's the short version.

Frequently asked questions
Did CasinoRankr spin out of CasinoRank?
No. CasinoRankr began in 2024 as hkgambler.com and adopted CasinoRankr.com in 2025. It has no shared ownership, operational history, or editorial team with CasinoRank or AskGamblers.
Why the similar name?
CasinoRankr began in 2024 as hkgambler.com and adopted CasinoRankr.com in 2025. CasinoRankr is a coined brand word, literally 'casino rank' with a trailing 'r', mirroring how consumer-tech products (Flickr, Tumblr) dropped the 'e'. The overlap with CasinoRank's long-running AskGamblers brand is coincidental but real, which is why this page exists.
Who runs CasinoRankr?
CasinoRankr is founded and operated by @hkgambler. CasinoRankr began in 2024 as hkgambler.com and adopted CasinoRankr.com in 2025. 12+ years reviewing iGaming, 334 current review-coverage profiles.
How are your rankings calculated?
Rankings use a Bayesian-weighted community-vote algorithm (prior=4.0, weight=10). Every casino must accumulate enough votes before its score moves meaningfully from the site-wide average, which prevents new sites from dominating on a handful of votes. Full methodology at /how-we-rate.
Can a casino pay to rank higher on CasinoRankr?
No. Affiliate partnerships fund operations, and they have no access to the ranking engine. If you ever see a page where a lower-scored casino is listed above a higher-scored one for reasons that look commercial, email editorial@casinorankr.com and we will publish an explanation or a correction.
