Five questions, one point each
How we score crypto casinos against their own terms and the licence registers
Every casino in the ranking answers the same five questions, and every answer is taken from just two sources: what the casino itself publishes as terms, and the entry kept by whichever authority granted the licence.
This page explains how we score crypto casinos, step by step. The score is not an opinion about games, design or bonuses. It counts how many of five concrete questions a casino's own documents answer, and whether the authority behind the licence shows that licence for the casino's own web address.
Each question earns one point, so a casino can score from zero to five. The order of the twelve scored casinos follows those points. Nothing here is a suggestion to gamble at any of them; the ranking is a way of reading paperwork side by side.
How we score crypto casinos: five checks with examples
The checks follow the path money and identity take when a player wants to cash out. A clear clause on each of them is what separates terms you can plan around from terms that leave the operator every option.
- Is there an identity-check clause at all? Wolfbet has one in cl. 5 §1. For Jack.com and Wild.io the table shows a dash for this field.
- Does the clause say when the check starts? Vave ties it to the moment of a withdrawal (cl. 8.7). Bitcasino.io names trigger events instead, including random account checks (cl. 3.13 and 6.6). Thunderpick reserves the right to ask for documents in cl. 21.1 without naming any moment, so it gets no point here.
- Does the clause print an amount? Bitcasino.io writes €2,500 or the crypto equivalent (cl. 6.6). Rocketpot has a figure too, in fact two that disagree: cl. 11.4 says $2,500 or 0.05 BTC, cl. 12.4 says $2,000; the point is given because a figure exists, and the mismatch is shown next to it.
- Is there a deadline for sending documents? Rainbet gives 72 hours (cl. 20.1), Vave 14 days (cl. 8.7), Wild Fortune two weeks (cl. 8.4 and 9.3), Metaspins 30 days (cl. 9.10) and Rocketpot 30 calendar days (cl. 12.2).
- Does the issuing authority's register list the licence under the casino's own domain? On 12 September 2026 the Curaçao certificate for Bitcasino.io named bitcasino.io. Rocketpot's number 1668/JAZ came up as not valid on two lookups, and Metaspins prints an Anjouan number while the Curaçao register lists a different company and number.
Where each answer is read
The first four checks come from the terms and conditions page that the casino links in its footer, plus the help pages those terms refer to. Clause numbers are quoted exactly as the operator prints them, which is why Wolfbet appears with the § sign and the others with decimals.
The fifth check starts with the seal or the licence line in the footer and ends in the register itself. On the Curaçao side the lookup happens at cert.cga.cw; every entry there lists its holder, number and issue date, a one-word status and the web addresses attached to it. For Anjouan it is the public register of that authority, which also prints an expiry date. How to repeat such a lookup is described in the guide on searching a licence number yourself.
Read dates and what a dash means
The terms behind the current scores date from a reading window of 24 August to 12 September 2026. For the registers the window is narrower, 8 to 13 September 2026, and every licence note in the table names its own lookup day. Terms change without notice, so a clause number that fits today may point somewhere else next month. The date tells you how old the answer is.
A dash in a cell means the field gives no answer: the document does not contain a clause for that question, or the register entry does not show that detail. A dash never counts as a point, and it is never filled with a guess. TrustDice, for instance, shows a dash across all five checks and therefore stands at the bottom with zero.
Bonuses, games and speed: outside how we score crypto casinos
Bonus size, the number of games, the look of the lobby and any claim about payout speed do not move a casino up or down. Bonuses change from week to week and depend on wagering rules; game counts are the operator's own marketing figure; speed claims cannot be tied to a clause. Where such details help the reader, they appear in the text with their source and date, but they carry no weight in the order.
Withdrawal caps and instalment rules are also outside the five points, even though the table prints them. You will find them gathered, clause by clause, in the overview of caps and instalments, which is worth a look before any first deposit.
Two accounts with real money
Only two operators were used with money by the editors. For Vave the date is 28 August 2026. Deposits were made and withdrawals requested, and no request for ID arrived as long as the sum taken out remained below about 5,000 USDT. It was a single account over a single period. Clause 8.7 keeps Vave free to request papers ahead of any payout, whatever happened that day.
At TrustDice, in May 2026, USDT deposits were spread over a longer period. Withdrawals went out without a check until the total passed roughly US$5,000; the following request showed «payment under review», then came an email with a Veriff link. The driving licence was rejected; the passport got through at the fifth upload, and some time afterwards TrustDice sent a fresh request for papers. These observations are described in more detail in the guide to identity checks. They do not change the score, which rests on documents only.
The names below the ranking
Under the twelve scored rows, the page shows more casino names in a tile grid without points. That list was taken over from a live comparison page found on 16 September 2026 through a search for «beste crypto casino's Nederland», in the order it appeared there. Those names have not been scored, so they carry no number, no rank and no position relative to the twelve.
Why Vave has no rank
Vave sits above the table as an advertisement. Putting a score on a casino that pays for its spot would mix two different things, so Vave carries neither a rank nor a score in the text. Its terms are still described factually wherever they matter: the identity clause in cl. 8.7, the instalment rule for large wins in cl. 8.8 and the deposit wagering in cl. 8.11.
