How We Rate Crypto Gambling Sites

The most important part of gambling online is finding the right site, and with thousands of options to consider, this isn’t always an easy task. Luckily, our team of experts here at ValueWalk did all the research to bring you the best picks.

We provide data-driven reviews that you can trust, with a scoring system that makes it easy to compare crypto gambling sites across different metrics. Our goal is to ensure that readers make informed decisions that best meet their requirements.


Our Review Criteria

In order to highlight the pros and cons of each crypto gambling site, we have a proven reviewing process that covers a strict set of criteria. You can learn more about the key elements we analyze below.

Security

Online security is first on our list. We ensure that every gambling site that we recommend provides high-end security for every user. This includes state-of-the-art encryption, secure banking methods, a valid operating license, fair payouts, and a clear privacy policy.

Proper licensing from established regulators, like the Curaçao Gaming Control Board or the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, is a must for every gambling operator.

Game Selection and Software Providers

The games can make or break a crypto casino. That is why we carefully assess the variety and quality of games offered, covering everything from the latest slots to the exclusive provably fair, and blockchain-based games. We check the available software providers and the extent of their portfolios.

As a result, many top sites featured in ValueWalk have thousands of games from top studios, such as NetEnt, Games Global, Play’n GO, Betsoft, and Evolution Gaming.

Crypto Payment Options and Speed

Next on our list of criteria when reviewing crypto gambling sites is banking. More precisely, the payment options supported for deposits and withdrawals, the minimum and maximum limits for transactions, and the fees taken by the operator.

We also check the speed, especially when it comes to withdrawals, to ensure quick transactions on the top sites.

Bonuses and Crypto Promotions

To ensure that we provide the full picture for bonuses and promotions, we look beyond the flashy banners and check the fine print. We review the offers and their terms and conditions to recommend bonuses that are actually beneficial for players. This applies to welcome bonuses, reloads, cashback, free spins, loyalty perks, and more.

The best deals not only offer a large reward, but also keep the wagering requirements low, don’t have many game restrictions, and make it easy to withdraw the winnings.

Data Protection

Keeping with our focus on security, data protection receives extra attention from our experts when reviewing crypto gambling sites. We check the Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and the level of anonymity provided by the operator. In other words, we want to ensure that you don’t have to provide a lot of personal details to play.

Moreover, the sites must have proper data protection measures to keep your information safe. Even if it is just an email address, none of the top sites share your details.

Extra Features and Tools

Modern crypto sites come with all sorts of features that make them more appealing and convenient. These can include integrated crypto wallets, quick sign-ups, support for VPNs, Bitcoin Lighting Network integration, dedicated mobile apps, and more. We test these out to give you the complete picture before you even access the sites.

The extra features can allow you to sign up through a crypto exchange platform, buy coins through the casino cashier, play on mobile, and withdraw with just a few clicks.

Customer Support

While you will most likely never have to use the customer support service on the leading crypto gambling sites, we leave no stone unturned. During our reviews, we often bombard the support team with questions and made-up scenarios to see how they handle them. Top rankings are awarded for quick, polite, and informative replies.

A good customer support service is a sign of a great casino operator, showing that the customer is always taken care of.

Responsible Gambling Measures

Last but not least, we want to make sure that players have all of the measures they need to gamble responsibly. These include deposit limits, betting limits, timeouts, and self-exclusion. While not a requirement for most players, responsible gambling measures are nice to have when real money is on the line.

Similar to customer support, having good responsible gambling measures on a platform shows that it is reliable and that the operator is mindful of all its customers’ needs.


Our Rating Process

We apply a strict rating process in order to assign a numerical value for every crypto gambling site, both for its overall performance and for every key criterion. This allows users to easily compare sites, and see where some operators come out on top, and where there is still room for improvement.

The entire reviewing process takes place over several steps.

  1. Research

    Gathering information about the crypto gambling site and its offerings in terms of games, bonuses, security, banking methods, and more. This is also where we check the parent company, available licensing, and overall reputation.

  2. Testing

    Examining the platform in more detail by actually signing up, depositing, playing, and withdrawing. This step often takes a couple of weeks or more so that we can conduct an in-depth examination under different circumstances.

  3. Comparison

    Placing the site side by side with other top-ranking recommendations to highlight differences. Comparing platforms is the best way to see how a crypto gambling site performs. It also allows us to improve the rating process with every new addition.

  4. Final Scoring

    Evaluating our findings on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best. The final score is the result of every category in the review but at different levels of importance. Some categories, like games and security, have more weight towards the final score than others, such as customer support.

During the rating process, we emphasize crypto-specific features, like anonymity, blockchain, support, provably fair games, and transaction speed. We also ensure that we update our reviews to reflect changes and improvements in the casinos.

Understanding Our Rating System

The final rating indicates how good a crypto gambling site really is. You can learn more about the scale and what each rating means before you check out the actual reviews.
