In short
-
Same checklist
Licence, coins, KYC, withdrawals, games, bonus terms and restricted countries are recorded for every casino.
-
Stated vs checked
We separate what a casino states from what can be checked, such as a licence number in a public register.
-
Not measured
We do not publish withdrawal times until we have measured them.
Process
The steps behind every review
-
Collect
We gather the casino's licence, terms, cashier details, game list and bonus terms, plus the facts the operator shares with us.
-
Check
Facts that can be checked are checked, for example a licence against the issuer's register, and conflicts are flagged.
-
Assess
The same framework is applied to every casino, so scores can be compared.
-
Publish and revisit
The review is published with a score and updated when a licence, coin list or term changes.
The scores feed the rankings; see How we rank.
Framework
What we look at in a crypto casino
-
Licence and ownership
Which authority issued the licence, the licence number and the company behind the casino.
So what: Tells you who to complain to if something goes wrong.
-
Coins and networks
Which coins the casino accepts for deposits and withdrawals and, where stated, on which networks.
So what: Sending on the wrong network can lose the coins.
-
KYC and withdrawals
When the terms allow an identity check, withdrawal limits and any fees.
So what: A no-KYC sign-up can still mean an ID check before you cash out.
-
Provably fair games
Whether the casino's own games publish a server seed hash and let you set a client seed.
So what: You can check a result was not changed after your bet.
-
Bonus terms
Wagering, maximum bet, time limit, eligible games and the currency the bonus is paid in.
So what: A large bonus with heavy wagering can be worth little.
-
Country access
Countries the casino does not accept, as stated in its terms.
So what: Playing from a restricted country can void your winnings.
-
Responsible gambling tools
Deposit and loss limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
So what: Tools you can use before you need them.
-
Support
Channels and languages offered.
So what: How you reach someone when a deposit goes missing.
Review and ranking
How a review differs from a ranking
| Review | Ranking | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One casino in depth | Many casinos side by side |
| Output | Strengths, limits and a score | Position against the others |
| Use it to | Check one casino before you deposit | Shortlist casinos for a coin, type or country |
So what
What this means for you
-
Check the terms yourself too
Casinos change terms without notice. The casino's own terms are the ones that apply.
-
Use the score as a starting point
A high score means a casino did well on our checklist, not that it is legal or right for you.
How we review: FAQ
Do you play at every casino you review?
Our reviews record what each casino states and what can be checked from public sources. We do not publish withdrawal times we have not measured.
How often are reviews updated?
When a licence, coin list, bonus term or ownership change comes to our attention. Offers in rankings load live.
Can a casino pay for a better review?
No. Casinos may pay affiliate commission, but not for a score or position. See our disclaimer.
