About PlayPlinko

PlayPlinko is the encyclopedia of Plinko — independent reviews, deep guides, original research, and breaking news. We cover online casino Plinko, free browser Plinko, the iconic Price Is Right segment, the underlying physics, DIY builds, and everything in between.

Why we exist

Plinko is one of the most-searched casino games of the 2020s, and one of the most poorly served by existing coverage. Search results are dominated by generalist crypto-gambling editorial sites with thin Plinko sub-sections, app-store listings for scammy "win real cash" Plinko apps, and Reddit threads asking which of those apps to trust.

There was no specialist Plinko resource. So we built one.

What we do differently

  • Specialist depth. We only cover Plinko. Every review, every guide, every news article is written by someone who plays Plinko, knows the providers, and understands the math.
  • Real testing. We deposit our own money to test withdrawal speeds, support response times, and bonus terms. We don't take operator-supplied screenshots.
  • Honest scoring. Most casinos score 5-7 on our scale. A 9 is rare. We publish "do not recommend" verdicts when warranted. Our editorial policy spells out exactly how we score.
  • Transparent funding. We earn money from affiliate links and display ads (see our disclosure). The existence of an affiliate relationship never changes a score.
  • Responsible by default. Every commercial page on this site links to free, professional help if you or someone you know is struggling.

Our editorial team

PlayPlinko is run by a small editorial team with specialised beats. Each writer is named and their byline is on every piece they author. You can find their full bios and writing archives below.

  • Alex Rivera — Editor-in-Chief. Casino reviews, methodology, player safety.
  • Yuki Tanaka — Game-show historian and physics contributor. Price Is Right heritage, Galton-board mathematics.
  • Marcos Delgado — Game mechanics and strategy analyst. RTP analysis, provider deep-dives, betting-system math.

How we make money

PlayPlinko earns commissions from some of the casinos we link to (affiliate marketing) and from display advertising on our informational pages. Both are clearly disclosed on every page that includes them.

What this means in practice:

  • When you click an affiliate link and sign up at a casino, we may receive a commission. This is at no cost to you.
  • An affiliate relationship never changes our review score. If a casino we have a partnership with has issues, we publish that.
  • We don't accept payment for positive reviews. We do accept payment for advertising (banner spots), which is clearly labelled.
  • For full details, see our affiliate disclosure.

Editorial independence pledge

If a casino offers us a higher commission, we don't move them up the rankings. If a casino threatens to terminate the partnership in response to a negative review, we publish the threat too. Our reputation as an independent source is the only thing we have to sell — without it, we have no business.

We're happy to hear from readers, casinos, journalists, and anyone with feedback or a tip.
