BEVERLY SHORES, TOWN OF

What BEVERLY SHORES, TOWN OF does

Beverly Shores Indiana Casinos is an independent editorial publication operating at beverlyshoresindiana.org that ranks and reviews offshore online casinos accessible to Indiana residents, a market where the state licenses 13 retail casinos and online sports betting but has not authorized online casino gaming and in 2026 prohibited online sweepstakes casinos. The site publishes a ranked list of 15 offshore operators, in-depth reviews of the top five (Ignition, BetOnline, All Star Slots, Super Slots, Slots.lv), a legal guide to Indiana gambling statutes, and a responsible-gambling resource module. Rankings are produced via a published five-criterion methodology (payout reliability 30%, bonus terms 25%, game and studio depth 20%, banking 15%, support and transparency 10%) using funded accounts and timed withdrawals, with bonus figures verified between February and April 2026.

The publication is monetized exclusively through affiliate commission paid by offshore operators when readers register through tracked links on the site; all 15 links carry nofollow/noindex/nopener attributes, and the publication states that commission does not determine rankings and that no operator can buy a position, score, or favorable line. The site is single-channel (the website itself, no app, marketplace, or retail distribution) and single-geography (United States, Indiana). Editorial is led by Merrick Vandiver, an Indiana Gaming Commission and Statehouse reporter based in Michigan City, IN, whose byline and credentials appear on the content.

The publication is privately held, founded in 2026, and explicitly disclaims affiliation with the Town of Beverly Shores, Indiana, the Indiana Gaming Commission, or any government body. Revenue is not disclosed; no funding rounds, subsidiaries, parent company, or partnerships beyond operator affiliate agreements are recorded. Operating status is active as of late July 2026.
