Review methodology

The six axes explained for crypto casino players (review methodology)

This page follows our Review methodology: 9-criteria weighted scoring across 17 deposit cycles per brand, with license, cashier and KYC tier evidence documented at Editorial policy.

Instead of a single rating, every review is scored on six independent axes. Each axis has an explicit pass-or-fail threshold and maps to a field in the brand's trust file at data/casinos/<slug>.json.

The bankroll cycle explained for crypto casino players (review methodology)

Every brand is tested with a personal real-money cycle. The protocol is fixed across all ten brands in the catalog so cross-brand comparison stays honest.

Each brand goes through at least eight cycles across at least three different wallet-network pairs. The bankroll rotated between twenty-five and eighty thousand US-dollar equivalent across the eighteen months ending May 2026.

Trust files and source verification

Numbers do not float untethered in our reviews. Every numeric or licence claim has an entry in a trust file with a verification timestamp and at least two source URLs. The first source is usually the brand's own page (terms, cashier, KYC). The second is an independent authority: a regulator registry, an external review database, or an on-chain explorer for casino tokens.

When sources disagree, the conflict is recorded in the trust file. The verdict reflects the more conservative value, and a small flag in the review surfaces the discrepancy so the reader can see it rather than read a smoothed average.

Re-test triggers explained for crypto casino players

A published verdict gets re-tested when any one of these signals fires:

Bonus-term tweaks and marketing-page rewrites do not trigger a re-test. We do not edit the verdict to chase short-term promotional cycles.

What the methodology is not

This framework will not predict casino solvency twelve months out, score brands on subjective UX features that do not change cashier behaviour, or substitute for the reader's own legal research in their jurisdiction. It is a tool for comparing crypto casinos on observable, reproducible signals. It is not investment advice or legal counsel.

Frequently asked questions explained for crypto casino players

A single number hides the trade-offs that matter when you choose a casino. A brand can pay fast and document slowly, or accept any wallet and be slow on support. Six independent axes show you both halves of the trade-off in the verdict, so you can weigh them against the bankroll you plan to deposit.

From first deposit to published verdict, roughly two weeks per cycle. The cashier path itself can complete in a few hours, but we run at least eight cycles per brand across different wallet and network combinations before publishing. Re-tests after a licence or KYC change run faster, usually inside seven days.

Licence change, owner change, KYC tier transition, payment-method addition or removal, casino-token contract upgrade, or a credible reader-submitted correction with sources. Cosmetic site updates and bonus-term tweaks that do not touch the six axes do not trigger a re-test.

In trust files at data/casinos/<slug>.json for casinos and data/tokens/<slug>.json for casino tokens. Every numeric claim carries a verification timestamp and at least two source URLs. If a number is not in the trust file with sources, it does not appear on the page.
