About Us: An Independent Site, Not the Casino

The most useful thing this page can do is draw a line. amppari.info is a review site. Amppari is an online casino run by somebody else. We do not hold accounts, take deposits, pay withdrawals, issue bonuses or decide verification cases. If your money is stuck, we cannot release it — but the support page and the complaints page will tell you who can.

Who writes here

The reviews and payment tests are written by Hanna Riihimäki, a casino journalist and payments tester based in Tampere. She spent six years covering business and consumer affairs for a regional newspaper before moving to iGaming in 2019, and she tests every cashier with her own money, logging the timestamps in a spreadsheet. That is where the payout figures across this site come from: real requests, real clocks, not operator press material.

This project was established as a Finnish language resource first, with the English pages added for readers outside Finland who face the same operator and the same euro cashier. The facts are identical in both locales because they describe one product.

Editorial policy

Test before writing. No number is published unless someone here measured it or read it in the operator's own terms.
Say what is weak. A 10 000 € monthly ceiling and a 35× wagering requirement appear in our text because they will appear in your experience.
No operator preview. No casino, and no affiliate manager, sees an article before it is published or can request a change afterwards.
Mark the unknown. Anything we could not verify is labelled as unverified instead of being smoothed over.
Date every revision. Terms change; the date on a review tells you when it was last checked against the live cashier.

How we make money

Affiliate commission, and nothing else. When a reader follows our link to the operator and later plays, the operator pays us a share of its own margin. Your deposit, your bonus and your odds are exactly the same as if you had typed the address by hand — the commission comes out of the operator's revenue, not your balance. What that arrangement does not buy is a score: the commission has no line in our scoring table and no operator has ever had a rating raised by paying more. The full statement is on the affiliate disclosure page.

Licence facts you should verify yourself

The operator states a licence issued in Curaçao and prints the number in its own footer. Take that number to the regulator's public register and confirm two things: that the entry is active, and that it covers the exact domain you are using. That is the practical test of whether a brand is licensed, and it is the same test we run before publishing. Anyone asking is it legit or is it safe should start there rather than with a review site's adjectives.

What a Curaçao licence gives you is a complaints route. What it does not give you is an EEA regulator with enforcement powers, and that difference has a tax consequence for a player resident in Finland: winnings from a non-EEA licensed operator are taxable income which the player declares personally. Winnings from an EEA licensed operator are not taxed in the same way. We report this because it changes the real value of a win; it is information, not tax advice, and the rules can be amended.

What we actually check on a casino

Our reviews follow a fixed method: licence, registration, deposits, gameplay, bonus recalculation, timed withdrawals, and two support tests. In the games section we look at the numbers a player can verify inside the game itself — the RTP figure printed in the info panel and the stated volatility, which together explain why a 96,0 % high volatility title with a 10 000× ceiling empties a small balance far faster than a 95,9 % low volatility one. RTP is a long run average across millions of spins, never a promise about your session, and volatility is the shape of the ride around it. The full breakdown is in our Amppari review and on the games pages.

Contact and corrections

If a figure on this site is wrong, we want to know. Write to hanna@amppari.info with the page and the correct value; corrections are made and the revision date updated. We do not accept payment for coverage, we do not publish guest posts with commercial links, and we do not remove criticism on request. Everything here is written for adults aged 18 and over — see responsible gambling if the fun has stopped.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns this website?
amppari.info is an independent editorial project run by a small team of writers, with Hanna Riihimäki responsible for the reviews and the cashier testing. It is not owned by, employed by or answerable to the casino it covers, and it holds no gaming licence because it takes no bets.
Who is the casino owner?
The company operating the brand is named in the footer of the operator site together with its registration details and licence number. We do not restate a corporate name we cannot verify from a primary source, so read it there and check it against the regulator register.
Is it licensed, and is it legit?
The operator states a Curaçao licence. Whether it is legit is answered by the register, not by us: search the number, confirm the entry is active and that it covers the domain you are on. If a review site tells you a brand is safe without naming a licence number, that is marketing.
Is gambling legal in Finland?
An adult may play at an offshore operator, so yes. The catch is fiscal: because a Curaçao licence is outside the EEA, winnings count as taxable income that the player declares personally. Winnings from an EEA licensed operator would not be taxed. Information, not tax advice.
How does the site make money?
Through affiliate links. If you click through and later play, the operator pays us a share of its margin, at no extra cost to you. Reviews are not for sale, ratings are not for sale, and no operator sees a text before publication.

18+. We are a review site. The operator is a separate company and the only party that can act on your account.
