Why we score documents, not impressions
Most casino ratings are a mix of feelings about the lobby, the bonus and the logo. Two reviewers can look at the same casino and land a full point apart. We wanted a score that anyone could recount, so it uses only facts a casino publishes or a regulator lists.
That choice has a cost. A casino with excellent games but vague terms scores lower here than its reputation suggests. We think that is the right trade for a payout board: when money is about to leave a casino, the written rules are what decide what happens.
The base: 4.0
Every casino on the board starts at 4.0. To be on the board at all, a casino has to accept crypto deposits and withdrawals, show a licence number in its footer and publish its terms. Casinos that fail any of those are not listed, so there is no score below 4.0.
The five checks
| Check | Adds | What we look for |
|---|---|---|
| Named licence holder | 0.2 | the licence number appears in the regulator's register under the company in the casino's footer |
| Verification rule read | 0.2 | we have read the clause that says when the casino can ask for ID |
| Verification rule is specific | 0.2 | that clause has a number or a clause reference we can quote |
| Withdrawal cap written | 0.2 | the terms give a maximum per day, week or month, or say how large sums are paid |
| Wide coin choice | 0.1 | eight or more coins in the cashier |
| Provably fair games | 0.1 | in-house games whose results a player can verify |
The verification rule counts as one check with two steps, so the table has six rows for five checks. Together they can add 1.1, but the score stops at 4.9.
Licence holder. We search the Curaçao Gaming Authority register or the Anjouan register for the number in the footer. The check passes when the number exists and the holder matches the company the casino names. When a casino changes licence, as Wild.io and Bitcasino.io did in 2026, we check the new number.
Verification rule. We read the section on identity checks. Rocketpot's "0.05 BTC or $2,500" (clause 11.4) earns both steps. "We may request documents at any time" with a clause number earns both too: it is vague, but it is written and quotable. A rule we have not read earns nothing.
Withdrawal cap. A written cap is a worst case you know in advance. US$5,000 per month at Rocketpot is low; 1,000,000 USDT per week at Bitcasino.io is high. Both earn the point, because both are written. The size of the cap appears on the card, so you can judge it.
Coins. Eight coins usually means Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT on more than one network and a few faster chains. That is enough to pick a cheap network for every deposit.
Provably fair. Casinos with their own dice, crash or plinko games that publish a seed system get the point. Slots from outside studios are not provably fair in this sense, whatever the casino calls them.
What the score does not measure
- Speed. No casino on our board publishes a guaranteed approval time, so we do not score one. The instant withdrawal casinos page explains why.
- Bonuses. Bonus terms change often and depend on the market. We describe them in reviews, but they do not move the score.
- Game quality. The size of a lobby says little about whether you will enjoy it.
- Whether a casino serves your province. That is in each casino's country list, and you should read it before signing up.
When scores change
We re-read a casino's terms when it changes licence, when a reader reports a change, and on a regular cycle. If a clause disappears, the points go with it. If a casino we have not yet read publishes a clear verification rule, it gains points the day we read it. Stake, Cloudbet, 7Bit Casino and BC.Game are the casinos whose terms we will read next.
Where every fact comes from
Each card on the best crypto casinos page shows the clause number where there is one. The licence data comes from the regulators' public registers. We do not copy figures from other review sites, and when we have not read something, the card says "not read" rather than guess.
Who is behind the method: about the site and the editorial team. Before trusting any casino, run through our red flags checklist and keep the glossary open for unfamiliar terms. How we handle your data is set out in the privacy policy.
Questions and answers
Why does no casino score 5.0?
Because the score stops at 4.9. A perfect score would mean we know everything about a casino, and reading documents never gets you there.
Do you play at the casinos you rate?
The score is based on documents: the casino's terms and the public licence register. It is not based on our own deposits or play, and we do not claim it is.
Does a partner deal change the score?
No. The score comes from the five checks only. The order of the board follows the score.
How do I report a mistake?
Write to [email protected] with the casino name and, if you can, a link to the clause. We re-read the source and correct the card.
What does the score measure?
What each casino publishes: licence holder, verification rule, withdrawal limit, number of coins and provably fair games.
What is the highest possible score?
4.9. Every casino starts at 4.0 and earns points for each documented check.
Do you play at the casinos?
We read their documents: terms, licence registers and cashier rules. We do not claim test results we do not have.
Why does a casino score lower?
When a term is missing or unclear, or a licence cannot be confirmed in the register.
How do you check licences?
We search the licence number in the regulator's public register and compare the holder with the casino's footer.
Do partner links affect the score?
No. Some links earn a commission; the score comes only from the casino's documents.
