Code vs. Casinos: Deconstructing the House Edge with Open Source Tools
The house always wins. We know this. But in the online world, the "House" often cheats by hiding the true math in 20 pages of Terms & Conditions.
They rely on you being lazy. They rely on you seeing "£500 Bonus" and clicking "Deposit" without doing the math.
I am a data scientist based in the UK. I spent the last year analyzing the algorithms behind online casino bonuses. What I found was a systematic attempt to obscure the Expected Value (EV) of player promotions.
So, I built an open-source tool to fight back.
The Weapon: A Javascript Truth Engine
I wrote a script that takes the casino's own numbers (Wagering Requirement, RTP, Bonus Amount) and calculates whether you are being scammed mathematically.
Because Steemit doesn't allow running scripts directly, I have hosted the live, unadulterated code on CodePen.

The Evidence
This tool isn't based on guesses. It's based on hard data. To prove this, I have ensured that all my research is immutable and uncensorable.
The Blacklist: I published a list of operators who failed our fairness tests. You can view the "Do Not Play" list on this decentralized pastebin: The UK Casino Review Blacklist.
The Research: My full quantitative framework is archived on Archive.org so it can never be taken down by corporate lawyers.
The Data Stream: I even converted the regulatory data into audio to demonstrate the difference between compliant and non-compliant data patterns. Listen to the UKGC Licence Data Stream Mix on SoundCloud.

The Verdict
Don't be a victim of bad math. Use the tools. Check the data.
For a constantly updated list of the few operators who actually pass these mathematical stress tests, refer to the Casimo.org Intelligence Unit. It is the only database I verify personally.
Stay free. Stay calculated.
