About us
Farol is Portuguese for lighthouse. That is what we aim to be: a point of light in a market where legal and illegal offers are not always easy to tell apart.
Our mission
We founded Farol Casino in 2026 with one rule: we only review brands with an active SRIJ licence. Operators without a Portuguese licence never appear here.
Who we are
A small editorial team in Lisbon with backgrounds in online payments, regulation and consumer protection.
Independence
We earn affiliate commissions, but scores are set before any commercial agreement and are never for sale.
Kept current
We revisit every review at least quarterly and re-check licences every month.
How we review
Licence
We confirm the licence on the official SRIJ list first.
Payments
We deposit and withdraw real money and time each step.
Security
We check encryption, ID verification and data protection.
Responsibility
We assess limits, cooling-off and self-exclusion access.
