About us

CryptoCasinosHub is a review site for crypto casinos, run on one rule: nothing gets a rating until we have funded an account there with our own money and taken a withdrawal back out. Every casino listed here has been through that. Every number you see on this site, the score, the Trust Index, the payout window, comes from that testing rather than from an operator’s press kit.

Tested with Real Money

Each one funded, played and cashed out from a normal player account, with no press access and no test balance from the operator.

30 Timed Withdrawals

Payout speed is measured with a clock, at different times of day, and re-measured on every retest. The fastest averaged 8 minutes.

The Method Is Public

All 2,500 words of it, including the weights behind the Trust Index and a worked example you can check line by line.

Zero Paid Placements

No casino has ever bought a rating, a position or a Trust Index point here, and no rating has been changed on request.

What is actually on this site

Four kinds of page, and they all point at each other.

There is also a converter for checking what a deposit minimum or a bonus cap is worth in real money, and a blog for the things that do not fit in a review.

Who writes it

Reviews on this site are written and signed by Kevin Rendel, a casino analyst and editor with close to twenty years in online gambling, first as a player, later as an administrator and editor. He has tested more than 120 brands, which means deposits, withdrawals, bonus terms read to the end and support queues sat in, not a glance at a landing page.

Every review carries his name, the date it was published and the date it was last checked. If a number on this site is wrong, there is one person it belongs to. That is the point of putting a byline on it. His profile lists every review and article he has written here.

A payout claim without evidence is just a sentence.

From how we test and rate

How a review gets made

The full procedure is written out step by step on how we test and rate. The short version is seven steps.

  1. Open an ordinary account, with no press contact and no arrangement with the operator.
  2. Deposit our own crypto, at the minimum the casino advertises, to check the minimum is real.
  3. Play across the library: slots, live tables and any provably fair games in house.
  4. Claim the bonus and read the terms to the end, including the maximum bet rule and the expiry.
  5. Withdraw, and time it from the click to the coins arriving.
  6. Ask support something real and see how long the answer takes.
  7. Go back later, because payout queues get longer, licences lapse and bonus terms get rewritten quietly.

Where we can publish the receipt for a payout, we do, and the receipt is a public block explorer record rather than a screenshot of the casino’s own cashier. Here is one from a test on Vavada.

A cashier screenshot proves the casino’s software printed a number. A transaction on the Tron network, with the hash and the block it was written into, proves the coins moved, and anyone can look the same block up without taking our word for it.

The Trust Index

Every casino carries a Trust Index out of 100, built from five factors with fixed weights. It is separate from the star rating: the stars cover the experience of playing, the Trust Index covers whether the place is safe to leave money in.

Factor

Weight

What it is built from

Reputation

40%

Complaint history, payout disputes and how they ended

Licensing

20%

The licence looked up in the regulator’s own register

Payout speed

Bonus fairness

15%

Wagering, maximum bet rules, expiry and caps

Track record

Years in operation and what happened during them

Scores currently run from 85 to 97, and no casino has a perfect one. Here is the arithmetic for a single casino, generated from the same data the review uses.

Factor Score Weight Points
Reputation 94 40% 37.6
Licensing 100 20% 20.0
Payout speed 96 15% 14.4
Bonus fairness 90 15% 13.5
Track record 95 10% 9.5
Trust Index for Stake 95 / 100

That total puts it in the Very high band. The same breakdown appears in the sidebar of the Stake review.

Every casino we have tested

Ordered by score. Scores run from 4.1 to 4.9, and the gap between them is mostly payout speed and bonus terms rather than game count.

How the site pays for itself

Some links here are affiliate links. Open an account through one and the casino may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra, and the offer is the same as it would be arriving directly. That commission is what funds the deposits we make during testing.

What it does not buy is worth spelling out, because most sites in this business are not clear about it:

  • It does not buy a rating. Placement follows the score, and the score follows the test.
  • It does not buy a Trust Index point, or a spot in the top three.
  • It does not stop us publishing the bad parts. Every review has a list of them.
  • If an operator asks for a review to be changed, the answer is no, and if the request arrives with an offer attached, we say so in the review.

A casino comes off the site entirely if it stops paying, if its licence disappears and is not replaced, or if we find the operator misrepresenting who owns it. The full policy, including what pushes a score down, is on the method page.

What we do not do

  • We do not review casinos we have not funded ourselves.
  • We do not promise anyone will win. Gambling costs money on average, and a fast payout is only good news if there is something to pay out.
  • We do not pretend an offshore licence is the same as a Malta or UK one. Every casino here is licensed offshore, mostly in Curacao, and we say what that means for a dispute.
  • We do not copy bonus terms from a landing page. If a figure is in a review, someone read the terms and checked it.

Corrections and getting in touch

Payout times and bonus terms change faster than any review schedule, and readers usually spot it first. If something here is out of date or wrong, send the detail through the contact page and say which casino and what you saw. The review gets corrected and the last checked date moves, so you can tell the page was actually revisited.

Comments are open on every review and every article, and player reports there feed into the reputation factor. Our privacy policy and terms cover what happens to anything you send us.

Gambling is for adults only, and it is entertainment that costs money rather than a way to make it. Set a deposit limit before you start, and if it stops being fun, stop.

Curacao’s regulator was hacked. The files show who owns the casinos

On 22 September an international investigation published what the Curacao Gaming Authority’s public register never shows: who actually owns the casinos, and what the regulator wrote down before it stamped the licence. The files come from the authority’s own licensing portal. They cover roughly 650 licensed firms, about 800 owners and more than 8,000 casino […]

About this site: common questions

Who is behind CryptoCasinosHub?
Kevin Rendel writes and signs the reviews, with close to twenty years in online gambling and more than 120 brands tested. His profile page lists everything he has published here, and every review carries his name and the date of the last check.
Do casinos pay you for a review?
No. Some links are affiliate links and a casino may pay a commission when someone opens an account through one, which is what funds the test deposits. It buys no rating, no position and no Trust Index point, and no review has been changed on request.
How do you know a payout really took that long?
Because we made it ourselves and timed it. Where the receipt can be published, it is a public block explorer record with the transaction hash and the block, not a screenshot from the casino cashier.
How often are reviews updated?
Whenever something changes, and on a regular retest anyway. The date shown on a review is the date of the last check rather than the date it was first written.
Why is every casino here licensed offshore?
Because that is the market. Crypto casinos are almost all licensed in Curacao or a similar jurisdiction. We do not present that as equal to Malta or the UK, and the licence is looked up in the regulator’s register before a review goes live.
Can I suggest a casino to test?
Yes, through the contact page. It goes on the list, gets funded like any other and gets published whatever the result, including the result where we do not get paid.
