Most sites in this industry tell you a casino pays out quickly. We would rather show you the record.
The four things we check
1. The licence — the number, not the logo
A licence badge in a website footer is an image. Anyone can copy it. What matters is the licence number, whether it appears in the regulator's own public register, and whether the company name in that register matches the site you are actually using.
We record the register we checked and the date we checked it.
2. The payout — on the public record
This is the part we can prove, and it is why this site exists.
When an operator pays in cryptocurrency, the payment exists on a public blockchain. Anyone can look it up. Time between withdrawal request and confirmed transaction is a measurable number, not a marketing claim.
Where we have measured it, we say so and show the date. Where we have not, the field says *unverified*. We would rather show a gap than fill it with a guess.
3. The terms that actually govern withdrawals
Withdrawal limits, currency support and identity requirements are usually set out in the operator's terms — not in the promotional copy. We read the terms, quote the relevant section, and link to it.
Note that the terms an operator publishes for players and the terms it publishes for affiliates are different documents, and they do not always agree. Where they disagree, we say so rather than resolving it silently.
4. Whether it is usable where you are
An operator can be excellent and still be unavailable in your country or state. Our tables mark this per market, because a fast payout is worth nothing if you cannot open an account.
What our scores mean
We publish a number with its components — for example payouts, transparency and support — rather than a single star rating. A five-star badge tells you nothing about what was measured. A breakdown tells you what we looked at and lets you weight it differently if your priorities differ from ours.
What this method cannot tell you
Being honest about the limits is part of the method:
- A licence check filters out unlicensed operators. It does not make gambling legal where you live. Your local law decides that, and it is your responsibility to check.
- A verified payout is evidence, not a guarantee. It records what happened, not what will happen.
- A certificate proves the state of a system on the date it was issued. That is why we show dates.
- Fair games are still games you are expected to lose. A fair game is one that loses at the published odds — not one you can beat.
