About Us

Pianu is a Plinko-first affiliate site built for U.S. players who want the fun part up front — and the fine print explained before you ever deposit. We publish plain-English Plinko casino reviews, bonus breakdowns, and bankroll tips with a simple promise: help you find safer, faster-paying Plinko sites with transparent fairness tools and realistic promo value.

We’re U.S.-focused, state-aware, and we take responsible gambling seriously. Plinko is quick, high-variance, and easy to overdo — so our job is to keep the information clear, the risks visible, and the recommendations earned.

Our Mission

Plinko looks simple (drop ball, watch bounce, collect multiplier). The reality is that risk levels, rows, volatility, RTP, and bonus terms can change how the game feels — and how expensive a “quick session” becomes.

Our mission is to help U.S. players:

• understand Plinko’s math without the jargon,

• spot fair-play and security signals fast,

• compare bonuses based on real usability, not headline percentages,

• and choose casinos that are transparent about payouts, limits, and verification.

Our Story

We built Pianu after seeing the same pattern over and over: Plinko pages that hype giant multipliers and “easy money,” then bury the hard parts — wagering rules, max bet limits, game contribution, and cashout restrictions.

Plinko is exciting because it’s fast and unpredictable. That’s also why players deserve extra clarity. A single session can swing hard based on volatility. A single bonus can become a trap if Plinko doesn’t count 100% toward wagering or if a max bet rule is easy to break.

Pianu exists to cut through that noise with transparent testing, repeatable checks, and honest language.

Timeline highlights

• 2024: Pianu launches with a Plinko-only focus: risk levels, rows, multipliers, and provably fair tools — explained for U.S. readers.

• Q2 2025: We publish a standardized review checklist to compare Plinko casinos consistently (fairness tools, payout speed, bonus terms, and security).

• 2026: We tighten our update cadence and re-audit reviews whenever a casino changes bonuses, redemption rules, or banking methods.

How We Rate Plinko Casinos

We don’t do “pay-to-win” rankings. We use hands-on checks and a consistent scoring rubric focused on what actually matters for Plinko players: fair outcomes, usable promos, and dependable cashouts.

Our review process

When we review a Plinko casino, we look for:

• clear licensing and operator info (usually in the footer and terms),

• fairness details (RNG testing and/or provably fair verification),

• transparent RTP and paytable access where available,

• real-world banking options and typical processing expectations,

• responsible gambling tools that are easy to find and use,

• and customer support that can actually solve payout and verification issues.

Criteria and weights (total 100%)

• Licensing & Player Safety – 22%
  License visibility, operator clarity, dispute pathways, responsible-gambling tools, age checks

• Payout Speed & Banking – 20%
  Withdrawal expectations, limits, fees, crypto/fiat options, verification friction

• Bonuses & Terms – 18%
  Wagering, max bet rules, max cashout caps, time limits, Plinko game contribution

• Game Quality & Plinko Options – 15%
  Risk settings, rows, multiplier clarity, demo availability, performance consistency

• Fairness & Trust – 12%
  Provably fair tools, RNG testing notes, RTP transparency, complaint patterns/red flags

• UX & Mobile – 8%
  Load speed, stability during fast drops, cashier usability, accessibility basics

• Support Quality – 5%
  Live chat/email coverage, payout escalation, clarity of help articles

Our scoring model

We use a 1–5 rating on each category:

• 5 = excellent and transparent (clear terms, reliable payouts, strong tools)

• 3 = acceptable but with friction or unclear edges (fine, but watch the details)

• 1 = deal-breakers (unclear licensing, weak transparency, payout risk, or unfair terms)

The overall score is the weighted average. If a site fails core trust checks (like hiding operator details or offering no meaningful fairness transparency), it can be excluded from recommendations even if the bonuses look big.

Updates

We re-check reviews on a cadence of monthly and also whenever a casino changes:

• bonus terms or promo structure,

• withdrawal limits/fees,

• accepted payment methods,

• verification rules or redemption flow,

• or Plinko game settings/payout tables.

Editorial Independence & How We Make Money

Pianu is an affiliate site. That means we may earn a commission if you sign up through our links.

Here’s the line we don’t cross:

• Rankings are not for sale.

• A bigger commission does not buy a higher rating.

• We write the pros and cons the same way — even if that costs us conversions.

If a casino has a confusing cashout process, harsh bonus limits, or weak transparency, we say so. Plinko is already volatile — your casino choice shouldn’t add extra risk.

Meet the Team

Pianu is led by a small editorial team focused on clarity, testing, and responsible coverage.

• Kristy Snow, Editorial Lead — Oversees Plinko reviews, bonus analysis, and “terms that matter” checklists. Kristy’s focus is making volatility, RTP, and promo restrictions easy to understand in plain English.

• Compliance & Responsible Gambling Reviewer — Reviews age guidance, state-aware language, and responsible gambling content to keep our pages practical and safe for U.S. readers.

FAQ

How do you choose which Plinko casinos to review?

We start with casinos that clearly list licensing/operator details and offer transparent fairness signals (RNG testing notes and/or provably fair tools). If the terms are vague or cashout rules look risky, we don’t prioritize them.

Do affiliate commissions affect your ratings?

No. We may earn commissions from links, but we keep an editorial firewall between monetization and rankings. A casino cannot pay to “move up.”

How often do you update Plinko reviews?

We re-audit reviews monthly and anytime a casino changes bonuses, banking, or redemption/verification rules.

Is playing Plinko online legal in my state?

It depends on your state and the operator. Some sites accept U.S. players under offshore licenses, but that doesn’t make availability universal. Check local rules and the casino’s restricted-state list before depositing.

How can I report a problem with a casino you list?

Email [email protected] with screenshots and details (dates, amounts, and the casino’s stated policy). We’ll investigate, update the review if needed, and note the issue so other readers aren’t surprised.
