How we score: 100 points, five blocks, no decimal place

What is not measured is how good the playing is at a house. Nothing honest can be said about that without an account and money of one's own, and neither exists here. What is measured instead stands as a finished ranking on the overview of the best bitcoin casinos — this page only explains how the figures there come about.

What is measured is how much of the way back out is fixed in writing before the first deposit. That can be read without opening an account, and it is exactly where it is later decided whether a win can be withdrawn or gets stuck in a clause.

Full marks go for three items together: number found in the register, status of the entry, name of the registered company. Fourteen points if the number is there and one of the other two is missing. Eight if only the number is there. Zero if nothing could be found in the register.

• Example: OGL/2024/1676/0905, status “Active”, company “Latcas B.V.” — all three findable in the register of the Curaçao Gaming Authority.
• Counter-example: a seal in the footer of the casino's own site. That is an image file and proves nothing.

Important for context: none of the houses in this comparison holds a German permit from any authority in the reader's own country. The licences come from Curaçao, Anjouan and comparable jurisdictions, and that is what the first block scores. What a player can do about their own risk is on playing safely.

The coins are read at the cashier itself, not copied from a marketing page. Twelve points if at least one value-stable coin is among them, otherwise eight — plus up to eight more for the breadth of the selection.

Why the value-stable coin weighs so heavily: minutes pass between the purchase at the exchange and the credit at the cashier, and in those minutes the rate moves. With a coin pegged to the dollar it does not. 15 of 15 cashiers that opened take at least one.

This is where the sharpest distinction in the scale sits. Full marks only where the clause carries a figure — an amount or a deadline. Thirteen points for a reference in the terms without a figure, seven for a clause with neither.

A figure is a limit a player can point at. “Where the operator considers it necessary” is not. Both wordings sound equally polite, and only the first can be checked — more on that under casinos without KYC.

Full marks where percentage, factor and calculation basis are published together, so the turnover can be worked out. Twelve where the basis is missing. Six where only a description without figures is there.

This is the block the trade does worst in: only 4 of 20 houses publish all three figures. Percentage and cap sell well, factor and basis do not.

The breadth of the house, read off its profile: slots, live tables, in-house games with a checking mechanism, sports betting. Five points as a base, plus four or five for each category present.

Breadth here is explicitly not a statement about quality. A lean house with a few clearly computed games can be the better choice for a particular player than one with two thousand slots. The block measures how many routes a balance has inside the house, not how good they are.

The bar does not measure how good a house is. It measures how many houses are known well enough for anything to be computed at all — and a block with zero points always means “not read”, never “bad”.

1. Withdrawal times. Measured nowhere, therefore scored nowhere.
2. Which countries are accepted. That sits in the terms and can change at any time; as a fixed property it is not to be had.
3. Game quality and customer service. Experiences, not readings.
4. The future. A register entry holds as at the day it was read. Where a reading date stands beside a figure, it is not decoration but the scope of the statement.
