How we research & score
Transparency is the whole point of this site. Here is exactly how the reviews are produced, what the numbers mean, and — importantly — what they can't tell you.
Our independence
- No affiliate links. The crypto gambling industry runs on affiliate revenue: most "top 10" lists are paid placements. We publish zero referral or affiliate links. We don't even link to sign-up pages.
- No payment from operators. Platforms cannot pay to be listed, to rank higher, or to remove criticism.
- No ads, no paywall, no account. The site is free to read and collects no personal data to do so.
The six-factor score
Each platform receives an overall score out of 10, derived from six weighted sub-scores:
| Factor | Weight | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Trust & track record | 25% | Operating history, ownership transparency, public incidents, payout-dispute reports, parent company. |
| Fairness & transparency | 20% | Provably-fair implementation, published house edge / RTP, auditability, on-chain verifiability. |
| Deposits & payouts | 20% | Withdrawal speed, limits, fees, custody model, documented friction or frozen-funds complaints. |
| Game / market selection | 15% | Breadth and quality of offerings relevant to the category. |
| Usability | 10% | Onboarding, clarity, mobile experience, how clearly risk and odds are presented. |
| Support | 10% | Responsiveness, channels, quality of help with real problems. |
Where our information comes from
We synthesise: publicly available terms of service and licensing pages; on-chain data where a platform is smart-contract based; provably-fair documentation and verifier tools; community reports from forums and review aggregators (weighed sceptically, as these are gameable in both directions); regulatory notices and enforcement actions; and the technical literature on the underlying mechanisms. Where a claim can't be verified, we say so.
About the interface images
The "screenshots" on review pages are illustrative, generated mockups — schematic recreations of a typical page layout for that category, tinted with the platform's brand colour. They are not live captures. We do this deliberately: we don't want to drive traffic to live gambling interfaces, scraping them raises legal and ethical issues, and live UIs change constantly. Every mockup is captioned to make this clear.
What a review can't do
- It can't make gambling profitable. Over time, the house edge wins.
- It can't guarantee an offshore operator will still be solvent — or honest — next month.
- It can't account for your jurisdiction's laws or your personal risk of harm.
Corrections
Facts change and we make mistakes. This is a static educational project; treat every figure as a snapshot and verify anything that matters to you against primary sources before acting on it.
