How we rate crypto casinos

Every rating on this site is set by one person, Martin. Here is exactly what goes into a rating, where the information comes from, and what we don't claim.

Short answer

Every casino gets 7 sub-scores from 0 to 10, from trust and payouts to support. Martin sets the overall score by hand: one serious problem outweighs a big bonus. The facts come from the casino's own terms, regulator registers, player reports and his own experience, and anything a casino doesn't publish says Not published.

The author

Who rates

Martin has more than ten years of experience as a player at online and land-based casinos, over seven of them at crypto casinos. He runs shifts inside a crypto casino: withdrawals, fraud checks, support, streamers and player rewards. That gives every review two views: what it's like to wait on a withdrawal or read bonus terms as a player, and what the casino is checking on the other side.

This is experience, not a winning system. More on the About page.

7 scores

The rating categories

Each review shows 7 sub-scores from 0 to 10. They cover what players actually ask about when they switch casinos, not how big the welcome banner is. A category we haven't scored yet shows as "Not rated yet" rather than a guess.

Trust & licensingLicense type and whether it can be found on the regulator's public register, how open the operator is about who runs it, any regulator actions, and patterns in player complaints.
PayoutsHow fast withdrawals usually go through, including large ones, plus withdrawal limits, fees and how often payouts get held for a manual review. Our withdrawal times come from the author's own experience as a player and from working inside a crypto casino, where withdrawal approvals are part of his shifts. They show what a normal withdrawal looks like, not a guarantee. Payout scores follow the typical withdrawal time: about 2 minutes scores 9.5, about 5 minutes 9.0, about 10 minutes 8.5 and about 30 minutes 7.0, with points off for withdrawal caps, fees or instalments.
KYC realityWhen the casino really asks for ID, and how predictable that is. Clear written rules score higher than "no KYC" that turns into a surprise document request after a big win.
Bonuses & termsThe welcome offer and the ongoing promotions (reloads, races, leaderboards, raffles, promo codes), and how clear and fair their terms are: wagering and what it applies to, max bet, max cashout, which games count, and details like activation windows or bonuses you have to request in live chat.
Rakeback & VIPThe rate together with what it's based on (house edge, amount wagered or net losses), whether it's paid without wagering, and whether unclaimed rewards expire. Most casinos don't publish their rakeback rates, even to logged-in players. Where a casino does, we show the number; where it doesn't, we say so.
Games & house edgeQuality and RTP of the in-house originals (each review lists the RTP of every original where we have it), how openly RTP is shown, the size of the game library and its exclusives, and how quickly new releases arrive.
Support & reliabilityWhether support can help beyond template answers, and how often the site is down or games won't load.
  1. About 2 minutes9.5
  2. About 5 minutes9.0
  3. About 10 minutes8.5
  4. About 30 minutes7.0

Set by hand

How the overall score is set

The overall rating is set by hand. It is not an average of the sub-scores: one serious problem, like a lapsed license or a pattern of refused withdrawals, matters more than good support or a big bonus. Red flags listed on a review always weigh into the overall score.

  • 8.5 and upExcellent. Few casinos get here.
  • 7.5 – 8.4Great, with a few weak spots.
  • 7.0 – 7.4Good, with clear weak spots.
  • 5.0 – 6.9Mixed. Worth reading the review before you deposit.
  • Under 5Poor. The review explains why.

The score ring is gold from 7.5, so the strongest casinos stand out in every list.

Scores are spread out on purpose. A list where every casino is "9.8, the best" tells you nothing.

Four sources

Where the information comes from

Every review combines four sources:

Official terms and the casino's own websiteLicense, restricted countries, bonus terms, rakeback and VIP rules, payment methods, KYC and VPN policy.
Regulator registersWhere a regulator publishes a public register, we look the license up there instead of trusting the logo in the casino's footer, and note any regulator actions against the operator.
Player reportsPublic complaints, forums and community discussions, read critically. One angry post isn't a pattern; many similar ones are. When we use them, the review says "players report", not "we found".
The author's own experienceAs a long-time player and from inside a crypto casino. Personal experience is marked as such, usually in the "Insider note".

In-house games

Originals RTP

The RTP of every original is checked in the game or confirmed by the casino's live chat, with the date. Where we haven't been able to check yet, the review says so. See every casino side by side.

Direct or on-ramp

Payments

Most crypto casinos don't take card or e-wallet payments themselves; they send you to a third-party on-ramp (MoonPay, Swapped, Banxa…) that charges its own fees. We show which is which.

KYC

ID checks

Every review shows when the casino asks for ID, based on its terms:

  1. No ID checksNo ID at signup, deposit or withdrawal.
  2. No ID for normal playNo ID at signup; the terms allow a check in rare cases, such as very large withdrawals or unusual activity.
  3. ID before first withdrawalNo ID at signup, but you verify before your first withdrawal.
  4. ID before first depositYou verify your ID before your first deposit.

When a casino publishes the amount at which it checks ID, the review shows that instead, for example "ID above ~€2,000". A casino that only asks for ID before card and other fiat payments shows "No ID for crypto play".

Sourced, always

Red flags

Every review has a red-flags section, and every red flag links to its source. Red flags come only from the casino's own terms and conditions, regulator decisions, court rulings or credible press. Review-site scores and complaint threads (Trustpilot, Casino Guru and similar) are not used as red flags. If we haven't checked a casino for red flags yet, the review says "Not checked yet" rather than implying it's clean.

Where a red flag can come from

  • The casino's own terms and conditions
  • Review-site scores
  • Regulator decisions
  • Complaint threads (Trustpilot, Casino Guru and similar)
  • Court rulings
  • Credible press

Honest dates

How reviews are kept up to date

Casinos change their terms often. Each review shows a "Last updated" date: the day its facts were last checked. We change that date only when we actually re-check something, never just to make a page look fresh. Real changes are listed under "What changed" on the review.

When a casino changes something that matters (bonus terms, KYC rules, payout behaviour, a new restricted country, its license), the review and, if needed, the rating are updated. If you spot something out of date, tell us at [email protected] and we'll check it.

Per category

King's Choice

King's Choice is our pick for one specific thing, not an overall "best casino". The categories are:

Fastest payoutsRakebackOriginalsBonusesFewest ID checks

The rules

  • It's rare on purpose. Most categories have one pick, or none.
  • When you sort or filter the casino list by a category, its King’s Choice is shown in a clearly labelled block above the list. The list itself stays in its honest order, so the same casino also appears in its real position.
  • It's only shown when the pick matches the filters you chose.
  • A casino whose review is still a draft is never King’s Choice.
  • The casino the author works at isn't listed on this site, so it can never be King's Choice.
  • King's Choice can't be bought, and having an affiliate deal doesn't earn it.

Independence

Ratings and money

This site earns commissions through affiliate links (see the affiliate disclosure). That never changes a rating, a red flag or a King's Choice. Casinos can't pay for a better score or a higher position.
