As the global blockchain gaming market reaches $21.6 billion in 2025 and projects growth to $1,270 billion by 2033, evidence-based insights and good research matters more than ever. Cryptocurrency gambling is a sector that intersects with technological innovation and regulatory complexity, which creates challenges and opportunities that may or may not be captured with traditional research methodologies.
To gain insights into this specific niche requires an understanding of blockchain technology, familiarity with cryptocurrencies, studying crypto integration in iGaming platforms, keeping tabs on latest trends in iGaming, and staying up to date with changing legal and regulatory frameworks.
At CryptoSpinners, our research team doesn’t just talk about trends. We gather data, look at how people play, and study different laws around the world.

How We Conduct Research
Our methodology combines traditional gambling research techniques with innovative approaches specific to crypto-friendly gaming platforms. Now, the exact research methodology depends on the type of study we are conducting. However, in this section, we will give you a quick overview of how we do it –
- Primary Data: For some studies, we have to collect data hands-on. For instance, we visit crypto casino websites ourselves and perform hands-on audits, such as testing the speed and helpfulness of customer service by interacting through live chat and email. We also evaluate how easy it is to sign up and deposit, test games for fairness and reliability, and rate overall site usability. By gathering feedback through surveys and direct engagement, we make sure our reviews reflect what real players experience when using these casinos.
- Secondary Data: Our research is backed by literature reviews, regulatory analysis across multiple jurisdictions, news websites, and industry reports. We examine academic studies from reputable institutions, regulatory frameworks from authorities including the Malta Gaming Authority and Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, and market intelligence from leading industry sources.
- Regulatory Analysis: We conduct detailed examinations of regulatory frameworks across key jurisdictions including Malta, Curacao, Isle of Man, Kahnawake, and emerging markets. This analysis covers licensing requirements, compliance standards, taxation frameworks, and evolving regulatory approaches to cryptocurrency integration in gambling operations.
- EEAT-Compliant Content Production: All research outputs adhere to Google’s Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness guidelines. Our team includes experts with extensive backgrounds in gambling research, blockchain technology, and regulatory analysis, ensuring content meets the highest standards of accuracy and credibility.
“At CryptoSpinners, we like to back up any claims with stats and numbers – it’s an important part of our content production process. Our ‘research’ section is just one of the more prominent ways of doing that.”
