Most crypto casinos look alike on the surface: thousands of games, a large welcome bonus, a promise of instant payouts. The differences that matter show up when you try to withdraw. This checklist puts the checks in the order that saves you the most trouble.
1. Can it legally accept you?
Start here, because nothing else matters if the answer is no. Every casino publishes a list of excluded countries in its terms. If you sign up from one of them, often through a VPN, the casino can void your winnings when it finds out, and it usually finds out at withdrawal.
Some countries only allow operators that hold a local licence. Our eligibility page shows what applies where you are.
2. Is there a licence you can verify?
A licence number in the footer is not proof. Click the seal or look the operator up on the regulator's public register. The licences guide explains what each common licence does and does not give you.
3. What happened when someone withdrew?
A casino's deposit page always works. The withdrawal is the test. Look for a recorded withdrawal with a date, a coin and a time, not a marketing claim. That is what our test records are for.
4. Are the bonus terms short and findable?
Read the wagering requirement, the maximum bet while wagering, the game restrictions and the expiry. If you cannot find them in two minutes, treat that as an answer. The bonus calculator shows what an offer is worth on average.
5. Can you check the games are fair?
House games at many crypto casinos are provably fair, which means you can recompute each result yourself. Third-party slots rely on lab certification instead. See provably fair, explained.
6. Does support answer?
Ask one simple question before you deposit. How long a person takes to reply now is a fair preview of how a withdrawal query will go later.
7. Who runs it?
A named operating company with a registered address is a basic sign of accountability. An anonymous operator leaves you with nobody to complain to.
