How We Rate and Review Crypto Gambling Sites
Last updated:
CryptoManiaks strives to have the most accurate, trustworthy, and reliable reviews in the business. That’s why we record and use nearly 200 individual datapoints and hands-on testing to craft every single one of our reviews.
In this article you can find out how much detail we put into each and every crypto casino review on CryptoManiaks and why you can trust that when we recommend a casino is good, we mean it.
Let’s start with our promise to you.
Our Reviews are Accurate and Impartial
Accuracy is crucial to the quality of our reviews. All our reviews are expertly researched and verified, and the data is recorded and updated periodically. We even use an algorithm to generate scores from this data, so that each review is an impartial as possible.
You Can Trust us to be Honest
We want our readers to trust our reviews. That means pointing out flaws as well as strengths and not being afraid to say something is bad when it is; our conclusions are always constructive and evidenced by data or hands-on experience.
If you’re curious about how we make money, you can read about that on our About Us page.
Everything is Tested and Written by Humans
Our reviews are built from two parts: data gathering and a hands-on test. The data gives us a factual foundation from which we can accurately compare a casino to a competitor on a by-feature basis.
The human part puts our reviewers in the players’ shoes, i.e., yours. We wager our own crypto when we play the games, so we know what it’s like to deposit funds and – if we’re lucky – withdraw our winnings. You can read exactly what our experience was like in these hands-on sections.
What Review Data do we Collect?
We want to be as thorough and as impartial as we can be so, during our review process, we collect nearly 200 datapoints, across ten categories and 48 sub-categories.

This enables us to compare crypto casinos in an impartial way. And, as mentioned above, these datapoints are periodically updated, so you can trust that our review scores are up to date, as indicated on each review.
We think these are the most important elements to take into consideration when judging a casino’s quality.
- Promotions
- Reputation
- Safety
- Payments
- Registration and Anonymity
- Usability
- Support
- Responsible Gaming
- Casino Games
- Sports Betting
Let’s explore what we test in each category.
Promotions
Here we look at the promos and bonus codes that are available for new and existing players and rank them based on industry standards relative to the competition. Everyone likes a nice welcome bonus, but what can players expect if they become long-term customers? We’ll let you know in each review, and update our codes as each casino updates them.
Reputation
Hard to gain but easy to lose in the crypto gaming industry, reputation speaks to the overall quality of a crypto casino. If it’s a brand that’s been around for years and has thousands of satisfied customers, then it’s more likely to be recommended over one that hasn’t. Longevity and quality count for a reason.
Safety
We want our readers to play in safe spaces, where there’s little or no chance of a rug pull, or having their data stolen or sold. In this category we look at a casino’s security measures and how they keep your data and crypto safe. It goes without saying, that sub-par encryption or cyber security breeches will count against a casino. Heavily.
Payments
Like all players, when we win we want to get our winnings as soon as possible. Here, we measure not only what the payments process entails, and the flexibility of payment options and wallet options, but also how quickly a payment will reach you.
Registration and Anonymity
We understand that some people want to remain anonymous when they game, while some players are okay with being visible. Either way, in this section we’ll test each casino’s registration process, its level of anonymity, and how long it takes to get gaming from registration to depositing funds, to playing our first game.
Usability
This is where we test a crypto casino’s user experience: ease of site navigation, how quickly the games load, how good the mobile site or dedicated app is… everything that impacts your enjoyment of playing the games and making bets.
Support
A vital part of the crypto casino experience is customer service. In this category we test all the ways in which you interact with the casino, as well as evaluating its documentation: how to play guides, FAQs and so on.
Responsible Gaming
We believe that crypto casinos should take responsible gaming seriously and offer advice and tools to help you manage your gaming experience, so that it doesn’t overwhelm you.
Casino Games
This is where the fun begins. Or at least that’s what we expect of the best crypto casinos. Having a wide selection of the best and trending games is essential to the experience. We like choice and we like quality; we think you do
Sports Betting
What are the sports betting options, and how do they differ from the competition? Here we look at the range of bets on offer, the number of markets, and how odds compare.
How we Score our Reviews
There’s a reason we gather all this data. We feed all this information into our algorithm, which considers which features are essential to have, which are nice-to-haves, and which are red flags, and weights the scores accordingly.
Scores are generated on a per-category basis, as well as an overall score. This way, you can make a judgement based on your priorities for a crypto casino. So if you’re looking for a casino with the best security, our reviews will tell you exactly that.
Alongside our category and overall scores, we also provide a safety score. This gives you an at-a-glance rating of the casino’s reputation and security, letting you know that you’re safe to play. Or not.
Final thoughts
We’re in the process of updating existing reviews with this new method, so this doesn’t apply to all reviews on CryptoManiaks yet. We’re committed to updating our reviews as quickly and accurately as possible, and expect this process to be complete towards the end of 2025.
Our review process makes up one part of our editorial standards, our promise to you to uphold high standards, and why you can trust all the content you find on CryptoManiaks. To learn more, head over to our Editorial Standards page.
