We want you to feel comfortable entrusting your bets to crypto casinos, which is why we have instituted a comprehensive review process. We use a systematic approach to deliver a detailed evaluation of each platform in order to give you the best possible analysis. Let’s take a look at our multi-step process:
- We register with a casino using a personal or temporary email address, just as any other customer would do to register.
- We examine the website thoroughly in order to explore everything that the typical user would do and to evaluate it for mobile responsiveness and how user-friendly it is.
- We test the games with real money. We deposit a fixed amount of money and use it to participate in the site’s games to evaluate them.
- We read the terms and conditions in detail in order to evaluate the wagering requirements, whether the platform has KYC, the level of privacy afforded your data, and much more.
- We engage customer support to see how responsive they are to questions and concerns so we can deliver a well-rounded analysis.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to crypto casinos and games, we utilize a more specialized testing process. Here is how it works:
Learn How We Review Crypto Casinos
The steps we outlined above are only the starting point for our more thorough deep dives into crypto casinos. We want potential players to be well-informed about each casino we assess, which is why we take the following additional steps to deepen our crypto casino reviews:
We review licensing and registration
Above all else, we double-check each platform’s licenses and legal standing We check for seals of approval from respected licensing bodies like the Curaçao Gaming Control Board or the Malta Gaming Authority. That said, a license is not necessary for a casino to be upfront and trustworthy, but we consider a license to be a value-added bonus that indicates a site is safe for players and can be held accountable if disputes or issues occur.
We review game selection
A casino is only as good as its games, so we evaluate each crypto casino on its selection of games. We weigh this criterion heavily because a casino should be fun for its players, and we evaluate a range of gaming categories.
To earn top ratings from us, we expect a crypto casino to have a wide range of common games, such as slots and blackjack, as well as specialty games on the order of Crash or Plinko. To evaluate games, we ask a few probing questions:
- What game providers are in the crypto casino’s portfolio?
- Can the casino prove the games are fair?
- Are there any games produced in-house rather than licensed from a provider?
- Are the RTPs profitable?
After you’ve read our evaluation, you should have a clear concept in mind of what kinds of games you will be able to play if you sign up for the casino. We also test specific games using a special process, which we will explain below.
We report on payment options
As we mentioned above, we use our own money to make deposits and withdrawals from every casino we review. However, some casinos accept hundreds of different crypto currencies, making it impossible to individually test each coin.
We want to make sure you feel safe and comfortable entrusting a casino with your assets, which is why we search the web to evaluate each casino’s payment record and to determine if it has any history of problems with payouts. We also examine fees that the casino charges and any limits it imposes, and if payouts are slow for a particular currency, we will let you know about that, too. If we determine that these would make games unprofitable for players, we will recommend alternatives.
We report on bonuses
We all know that bonuses are the biggest draw in any crypto casino, which is why we give higher ratings to casinos that provide the most generous bonuses. However, our evaluation of bonuses isn’t limited just to measuring who offers the biggest ones. After all, when you see seemingly massive bonus offers, you might find that they are subject to limits or obscure terms and conditions that mean that the bonuses are essentially off the table for most users because of the difficulty in meeting wagering requirements. We want you to be fully informed before you place a wager, so we thoroughly review all of the rules and regulations to bring you the facts you need to make an informed choice. After all, if a smaller, no-deposit bonus like a free spin has better odds and is more likely to return a payout, it might be a better deal than a smaller chance at a bigger payout. We’re all about helping you maximize your profits on any platform, and our analysis can help you calculate which combination of games and bonuses are most likely to yield the most successful outcomes for you. With our comparison of the best deals and top brands, you can select the option that works for you.

We examine each casino's security
Our top priority is ensuring you have the information you need to be safe when you play at a crypto casino, and we would never recommend a platform we wouldn’t use ourselves. One of our key steps in evaluating a casino is to review its casino security protocols and evaluate the methods used to protect user data. Similarly, we probe the terms and conditions in order to evaluate how platforms both use and protect user data. For example, we want to know if they are selling your data to third parties. As a policy, we will not review a casino that does not meet minimum data and privacy protection standards.
Our Four-Step Test for Casino Games
The heart of any crypto casino review has to be the evaluation of its games. At Casinos Blockchain, we review casino games with a collaborative model that allow us to explore each game from multiple perspectives to craft a useful and comprehensive analysis of each:
- We Assemble a Crack Team of Reviews. Everybody has an opinion, but we believe that the truth emerges best when we sample the widest range of opinions. That’s why we don’t test games by ourselves. Each of our reviews is the work of the specific reviewer assigned to it, but that reviewer draws on the opinions of a collaborative team drawn from across our operation. We test widely and deeply with a large number of players, and then we discuss our findings in order to reach a fair and unbiased consensus about each game.
- We Examine Each Game’s Features. Each evaluator carefully examines all of the features of the game under review. When a casino has many game providers, there is typically a rich array of game features for every potential player, so we want to make sure we have a thorough sampling of these features. We test out each game with different bet amounts, varying scripts, and altering the volatility—all to see how well the game plays and where possible pain points may emerge for players. When our team comes together to discuss what they’ve found, you’ll learn what works well and what areas to avoid.
- We Test Bonuses with Each Game. When you earn bonuses, you want to be able to use them, which is why we carefully evaluate how easy it is to use your bonus money in each game. If the bonuses are hard to use or don’t deliver the desired results, we’ll let you know first.
- We Examine Wagering Requirement Fulfillment. Not all games are created equal when it comes to fulfilling wagering requirements. For example, some games such as slots contribute a full 100% to wagering requirements, but games like poker and blackjack might be as low as 10% or even 5%. We’ll give you the details so you can make your bets strategically.
- We Estimate Potential Profits. Obviously, no one can guarantee that you will come away from casino games with a profit, and the odds are always in the house’s favor. But we do our best to estimate how well you can expect to do over the long term. Our method for calculating potential profits involves looking at the Return-to-Player percentage, estimating volatility and risk, and checking the casino’s published limits on winnings. This allows us to provide you with a decent idea of whether you are more likely to win big or suffer losses.
And that’s how we do it! Our time-tested research method ensures thorough and unbiased casino game reviews every time! For an added layer of protection, we also employ a dedicated fact-checker to verify all of our data about casinos and cryptocurrencies by cross-referencing facts with multiple sources, ensuring all of our reports are reliable and trustworthy.
