We test, so you can play!Learn more about how we, at CryptoSpinners, rate and review crypto casino sites. Find out what checks we run, how the score is calculated, and meet the team behind the scenes.
At CryptoSpinners, we take crypto casino reviews seriously. Every casino site that has been recommended by us undergoes a careful evaluation by our researchers. Further, CryptoSpinners is backed by a team of experienced crypto researchers who have been actively involved in the iGaming industry for years. We encourage our team to conduct thorough hands-on research and share their honest opinions about the products.
Here’s a quick look at what the review process looks like –
- We sign up at the crypto casino site using one of our temporary email addresses
- Next, we start following our checklist and testing the casino site (we’ll get to the evaluation criteria in a minute)
- Our crypto researchers then look into all the details, which includes licenses, support for crypto payments, quality of games, frequency of promotions, bonus conditions, and much more.
- We also go that extra mile and use the website on multiple devices and note down our experiences to give you the full picture

Our Crypto Casino Evaluation Criteria
In this section, we will walk you through our casino review criteria and how we rate the sites. As you can see, we have divided the review into seven main categories with point-based weightage attached to them.
Here’s an overview –
| Category | Points |
|---|---|
| License, Safety, and Player Trust | 25 |
| Crypto Payments and KYC | 20 |
| Bonuses, Promotions & Rewards | 15 |
| Games Library | 15 |
| Innovative Web3 Features | 10 |
| Customer Support & User Experience | 15 |
Now that we have laid out the categories, we will be explaining what we consider in each category while scoring.
✅ License, Safety, and Player Trust – 25 Points
As the title suggests, this category includes important details like operator’s license, websites’ security, commitment to responsible gambling, general casino terms, as well as bonus terms. In fact, this is the very first section that we look at, and we read all the fine print so we don’t have to.
We check if –
- The casino site holds a valid license from a reputable licensing authority
- The casino platform offers responsible gambling tools and easy access to resources
- The website is encrypted and has relevant certifications
- The bonus terms are fair and compare them to other similar casinos on the market
Further, we also always check the reputation of the casino operator online. For this, we visit reputable review sites like Trustpilot, we also research player feedback on online forums including Reddit, and more.
✅ Crypto Payments and KYC – 20 Points
Considering that we’re talking about crypto casinos, payments are an important part of the player experience. In fact, most players at crypto casinos value flexibility, privacy, and security that cryptocurrencies offer.
In this section, we consider –
- The number of cryptocurrencies the platform supports. Based on our experience, it can vary between 8 to 140 or more.
- Experience with deposits and withdrawals. That is, how clear the payment terms are, how easy the transactions seem, and how fast the withdrawals are.
- Since KYC at crypto casinos is closely related with payments, we added it here. We check whether the casino has a no KYC policy, demands minimal KYC, or has full KYC.
✅ Bonuses, Promotions & Rewards – 15 Points
In this section, we mainly look at how generous and transparent the casino platform is with promotions. Bonuses attract new users and encourage existing players to stay and participate more frequently.
Casinos that offer welcome bonuses, loyalty rewards, and ongoing promotions are often more committed to player satisfaction. This, in turn, helps brands build a strong reputation and increase player numbers.
To make sure you get a rewarding experience, we look at –
- Welcome bonus for new players
- Evergreen bonuses for existing players
- Seasonal promotions
- Tournaments, leaderboards, and other rewarding gamification
- VIP program and/or loyalty program
✅ Games Library – 15 Points
Games are central to a casino’s popularity because a broad and diverse selection ensures there is something for every type of player. Casinos with multiple game categories like slots, live dealer games, casual games, and originals tend to attract more users.
In our reviews we look for the following –
- Variety of games, including slots, live casino games, crash games, and trending games
- Whether the casino platform offers provably fair original, in-house games
- The software operators that the platform has partnered with
- If the crypto casino platform offers free game demos to try without signing up
✅ Innovative Web3 Features – 10 Points
Compared to traditional online casinos, crypto casinos tend to have a more modern and tech-savvy approach, which gets reflected in the features they offer. For instance, several crypto casinos offer features like Telegram integration, native tokens, provably fair games, DeFi integration, staking rewards, crypto faucet rewards, and more.
✅ Customer Support & User Experience – 15 Points
From our research, responsive customer service goes a long way to gain customer loyalty and trust. This is why, in our reviews, we have a separate section for customer service. To be more specific, we check the various channels of communication the brand has, how elaborate their help resources are, and how responsive their support team is.
Along with that, we also look at other aspects of the overall user experience, like responsiveness of the site, navigation, mobile optimization, and even the theme.
