About Cider Ridge

---

Cider Ridge is an independent guide to online casino options for Alabama players. Alabama gives its residents no state-licensed online casino, which leaves a confusing mix of offshore sites and sweepstakes brands. We exist to make that landscape honest and easy to navigate.

Our mission

To tell Alabama players the truth about their options: what is legal, what is a gray area, which sites actually pay, and what you give up without a state regulator. We would rather lose a click than send a reader to a site we do not trust.

How we test

We open and fund real accounts, play across game types, and time withdrawals on every method before a site is rated. Our full method is on the how we rate page.

How we make money

When you sign up through a link on our guides, we may earn a commission from the operator at no cost to you. That is how the site is funded. It does not change our rankings, our ratings, or what we are willing to say about a site. Ranking positions are never for sale.

Editorial independence

Ratings are decided by testing, not by commercial relationships. A site that pays us well but treats players poorly will still be marked down or left off entirely.

Responsible gambling

We only cover real-money play for adults 21 and over, and every guide signposts help. If gambling stops being fun, see our responsible gambling resources or call 1-800-GAMBLER.
