How We Review Crypto Casinos
Every CryptoHut score combines five weighted dimensions. This page explains what each score measures, how we label evidence, how updates work, and where our money comes from.
The 5 rating dimensions
Every casino is scored 1–10 on each dimension. The weighted average, rounded to one decimal, is the overall rating shown on every review and used to rank our best-of category pages.
| Dimension | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
Trust & Licensing | 25% | License validity, ownership transparency, complaint history, and time-in-market. |
Payments & Payout Speed | 25% | Deposit and withdrawal times, fees, network coverage, and cash-out reliability. |
Bonuses & Terms | 20% | Wagering multiplier, max bet during wagering, expiry, game weighting, and cash-out caps. |
Games & Providers | 15% | Library depth, provider mix, RTP transparency, and provably fair verification. |
Support & UX | 15% | Live chat quality, response time, mobile experience, and self-serve tooling. |
| Total | 100% | Weighted average rounded to one decimal. |
How we evaluate trust & licensing
We look for the claimed licence on the relevant regulator's public register where a searchable record is available. We compare the registered entity with operator terms and review credible public complaint sources. Missing or conflicting evidence is recorded as uncertainty, not treated as verified.
How we evaluate payments & payout speed
We compare the currencies, networks, limits, fees, and processing windows published in operator terms and payment pages, then look for credible corroborating evidence. A payout time is labelled as a CryptoHut test only when a dated transaction record has been logged; otherwise it remains an operator claim or third-party report.
How we evaluate bonuses & terms
We read the T&Cs as well as the promo page and compare the wagering multiplier, contribution table, max bet, expiry, and cash-out limits. Restrictive or hard-to-find conditions reduce the bonus assessment. "No wagering" is treated as an operator claim until the surrounding cap and time-limit terms have also been checked.
How we evaluate games & providers
We review the displayed library, provider information, published RTP material, and any provably fair documentation available to players. A provably fair claim is not described as independently reproduced unless a specific verification has been completed and documented.
How we evaluate support & ux
We assess the clarity of the website, account controls, mobile presentation, and published support routes. Direct support conversations and device tests count as first-hand evidence only when the review records that they occurred; otherwise the score is based on observable product information and disclosed limitations.
Three evidence labels
A precise number is not automatically an independent test. We use the following labels so readers can see where a claim comes from.
Operator-stated
Taken from the casino's website, terms, support material, or marketing. It may change and is not presented as CryptoHut verification.
Third-party corroborated
Supported by a regulator, provider, technical document, or credible public report. The source should be linked or named.
CryptoHut verified
Directly checked by CryptoHut with a dated record. If that record does not exist, the review must say that independent testing has not been logged.
Payment evidence and payout claims
CryptoHut does not currently claim that every listed casino has received a real-money deposit or withdrawal test from our team. Published processing windows are treated as operator claims unless a review clearly identifies a dated CryptoHut test or links to independent supporting evidence.
A marketing phrase such as "instant" or "no KYC" does not become a verified fact simply because it appears in operator copy. Reviews should state the source, applicable limits, and any verification gap. Future first-hand payout tests will show the asset, network, request time, confirmation time, date, and relevant qualification without exposing private account information.
Update policy
- Scheduled review: we revisit published reviews as editorial capacity allows, prioritising highly ranked and frequently visited operators. We do not claim a fixed cadence that we cannot consistently document.
- Event-driven updates: license changes, ownership changes, major software swaps, and well-supported payout complaints can trigger an out-of-cycle review. The page's update date changes when the content or score materially changes.
- "Last updated": the date shown on each review is the date of the last score change or material content edit — not the date of the last typo fix.
Editorial independence
CryptoHut may earn an affiliate commission when a casino link is explicitly labelled as commission-eligible. Commission rates, revenue share, and partnership status are not scoring inputs. Operators cannot buy a rating, ranking, or positive verdict.
Our affiliate disclosure explains the money side in plain English. A casino can be reviewed whether or not an affiliate relationship exists, and affiliate status must be disclosed separately from the editorial score.
