How We Review Casinos

Before we test anything else, we confirm the operator holds an active gambling license from a recognized authority (such as Curaçao Gaming Authority, Anjouan Gaming, or a comparable regulator) and check that license directly against the regulator's public register where available. Casinos without a verifiable, active license are excluded from our rankings entirely.

We create a genuine account using the same sign-up flow a new player would use, and note how much information is required to start playing versus how much is required before withdrawing (KYC). We flag casinos with unusually invasive or opaque verification requirements.

We deposit cryptocurrency using the methods listed on each site and play across categories — slots, live dealer, table games, and sportsbook where available — logging load times, crashes, and any discrepancy between advertised and actual RTP or provably fair verification.

This is the step most review sites skip. We request withdrawals at multiple size thresholds and record the actual time funds take to arrive in our wallet, including any manual review or additional verification steps triggered along the way. Withdrawal speed claims in our comparison table reflect our own test data, not marketing copy.

We contact live chat and email support with real, specific questions (not generic ones) and measure first response time, resolution time, and whether the answers were accurate.

Each casino receives a score from 1-5 across five categories, which combine into the overall rating shown on our comparison table and review pages:

• Games & Software — library size, provider quality, live dealer variety.
• Bonuses & Promotions — realistic wagering requirements and transparent terms.
• Deposits & Withdrawals — measured payout speed, fees, and limits.
• Customer Support — response time and answer quality from our tests.
• Trust & Security — licensing, operating history, and account security features.

Bonus terms, licensing status, and payout consistency can change after publication. We recheck every listed casino at least monthly and adjust rankings, or remove a casino entirely, if standards slip.

Casinos cannot pay for a better ranking position. We only add affiliate links to casinos after they've been through the process above and earned their place on the list. See our affiliate disclosure for how we're compensated.
