Methodology
How CryptoBets scores crypto casinos and game risk.
Our methodology separates platform checks from game-format risk: payments, KYC, bonus terms, licensing, provider transparency, sportsbook rules, VIP value and responsible gambling tools.
KYC pressure
Verification timing, country restrictions, blocked countries and account-closing friction.
14%
Start bonus
Wagering, max bet, expiry, excluded games, max cashout and bonus transparency.
12%
Rake back and VIP
Cashback, lossback, VIP mechanics, real value and lock-in pressure.
10%
License and entity
Operator identity, licensing claims, terms clarity and jurisdiction risk.
16%
Live games and providers
Studio/provider quality, table limits, RTP disclosure and game availability.
10%
Sportsbook
Market depth, settlement clarity, odds margin and bet restrictions.
8%
Highroller limits
Max bet, max win, withdrawal caps and account-review thresholds.
6%
Other bonuses
Promotions beyond the welcome offer, hidden restrictions and realistic value.
6%
What we will not do
We will not present gambling as safe income, publish paid ranking positions, hide withdrawal/KYC friction, or turn bonus terms into marketing copy.
What changes a rating
Withdrawal incidents, license changes, new KYC restrictions, bonus-rule changes, provider changes, blocked-country updates and credible player complaints.
Evidence ladder
How a review becomes stronger
Public source note
A current official terms, help, license or restriction page is identified and summarized cautiously.
Dated source capture
The review file records dated terms, bonus rules, country restrictions or account-tool evidence.
Account-flow check
The editor documents signup, wallet, KYC prompt, responsible gambling tools or support path without making a deposit claim.
Withdrawal evidence
Public terms, help-center articles and support documentation are used before any account-level payout claim is considered.
Editorial states
What each review status means
Preliminary review
The page can describe review scope, public source notes and open checks, but cannot recommend the platform.
Verified fields
Individual sections can be marked stronger once source capture or account-flow evidence exists.
Scored review
Final score requires current terms, country restrictions, responsible gambling tools and payment/KYC notes.
Recheck
Any license, bonus, KYC, withdrawal or restricted-country change can move the page back to preliminary review.
Before indexing
Opening search is a checklist, not a switch
- +Every casino page has source notes, cautious jurisdiction language and no unsupported bonus claim.
- +Every game guide has risk notes, fairness checks and no strategy or guaranteed-profit language.
- +Legal pages are connected from the footer: 18+, responsible gambling, affiliate disclosure, terms, privacy and geo restrictions.
- +The public sitemap exposes only pages cleared for staged indexing; held casino reviews stay out until final source capture.
Score is not approval
A score does not mean the casino is legal for every reader, suitable for every budget or guaranteed to process withdrawals without review.
Source age matters
Older public sources reduce confidence when the field can change quickly, especially bonus terms, restricted countries, license pages and payment limits.
Game risk is separate
A casino can have a strong platform score while a specific game format still has high volatility, fast loss cycles or weak player-control tools.
Country fit matters
A platform that looks strong globally can still be a poor fit for readers in blocked, high-KYC or bonus-ineligible regions.
Strong bonus, weak cashout
A large welcome offer can still score poorly if wagering, max cashout, excluded games or withdrawal rules make the value unrealistic.
Fast crypto, unclear KYC
A casino can support quick blockchain payouts while still reserving broad manual review or source-of-funds checks before release.
Known brand, narrow access
A platform with strong providers or sportsbook depth can lose points when restricted-country language is broad or product access is uneven.
Provably fair, high volatility
Seed verification can help prove a result, but the game can still be high-risk because of house edge, max win, speed and loss cycles.
Final review questions
- +Can a reader see why each major score changed without trusting a black-box rating?
- +Are public source notes current enough for claims that change quickly?
- +Does the page separate platform risk from individual game risk?
- +Are no-guaranteed-winnings, 18+, geo and responsible-gambling warnings present before launch?
