Methodology
Rank by paperwork, not by payout
CryptoCasinoScan exists because most casino rankings are advertising. This page documents the rules our index follows, so you can check our work instead of trusting it.

What we rank on
Every casino in the index starts as a source record, not a score. We collect the operator's own published material: terms and policies pages, licence claims with numbers, cashier and supported-crypto guides, promotions pages, product catalogues and responsible-gambling resources. Each fact keeps the date it was captured and the URL it came from.
The ranking weighs three things in order. First, licence evidence: an entry we could trace to a regulator register outranks a self-published licensing claim. Second, published withdrawal terms: operators who write down turnover rules, minimums or review triggers rank above those who leave them unstated. Third, catalogue and rewards depth, counted only from the operator's own displayed figures. Commercial relationships are read after the rank is fixed, never before.
Evidence states
Three labels apply to every field in our comparison. Verified means the claim traces to a primary source such as a regulator register or legal entity page. Source-limited means the operator publishes something real but incomplete, like named crypto assets without network detail. Unknown means no citable figure exists; we print that instead of estimating. As of the August 2026 snapshot, 19 comparison fields across the index are verified, 53 are source-limited, and 78 are unknown. We consider that ratio honest reporting, not weakness.
What we do not do
- We do not deposit, play or withdraw with the casinos we cover, and no review claims otherwise.
- We do not publish aggregate star ratings, because we have no measurement behind them.
- We do not copy figures from forums, affiliate competitors or player complaints.
- We do not treat accessibility from one country as proof of legality anywhere.
- We do not remove or soften a restriction note because a link monetizes better.
Refresh cadence
The current index snapshot was captured on 2026-08-13, drawing on twelve cited official URLs per operator. Licence entries are re-checked against regulator registers when the register itself publishes validity dates; where a register confirmation was not reproducible at capture time, the field stays marked source-limited even if the operator's terms state a licence number. When an operator changes material terms, the affected fields get re-dated rather than silently overwritten.
Affiliate policy
Some outbound casino links pay us commission. The registry of those links is owner-approved and fixed; it cannot be edited per review, and every compensated link carries rel=sponsored and a visible label. Rankings and review text are produced without reference to it. If we ever cover a casino with no approved link, it gets the same treatment as everything else, minus the button.
