How we rate

We publish the formula instead of asking for trust. Anyone can recompute every score on our pages from the figures operators make public, plus the payout timings we record ourselves.

The four dimensions

Each dimension is worth 0 to 10 and the final score is the mean of the four.

  • Bonus value. The dollar ceiling divided by 3,000, plus the match percentage divided by 100, capped at 10.
  • Wagering. 10 for no wagering, 8 up to 25x, 7 up to 35x, 6 up to 40x, 4.5 up to 50x, 3 above that.
  • Tested payout speed. 10 for a same-day crypto cash-out in our testing, down to 4 for the slowest band. This is measured, not quoted.
  • Entry cost. 10 for a minimum deposit of $10 or less, 8 up to $20, 7 up to $25, 5.5 up to $35, 4 above that.

How we test payout speed

This is the dimension that does the most work and the one nobody else measures. We keep funded accounts on these operators and request withdrawals on a recurring schedule, recording how long the crypto cash-out actually takes. The tier next to each brand is that recorded result. It is the reason a smaller bonus can outrank a bigger one, and we never restate it as an operator claim.

What goes into the rating

  1. A full read of the promotional terms, not just the offer headline.
  2. Verification of the operator and license number declared in the footer.
  3. A check of that number against the issuing regulator's public register, and that the domain in use is covered by the license.
  4. An inventory of the declared deposit and withdrawal methods and their limits.
  5. Repeated real withdrawals to time the payout.

What stays out on purpose

We do not score game-library size or the quality of live chat. We hold no comparable metric for them across all fifteen sites, and an unverified sub-score would be a number we made up. The ranking order also weighs catalog breadth and, for two sites, a real poker network, so it does not match the terms-and-payout score line for line, and the two are shown separately.

Sources

Bonus figures come from operator communications and always carry a date. Payout figures come from our own testing. The resulting ranking lives on the California online casinos page; otherwise the site terms apply.
