How we rate crypto casinos
The BoosterHand Score (v1) is calculated only from facts we have documented with a source and a check date. Affiliate commission is not an input.
Weights
| Criterion | Weight | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Licence & operator transparency | 25 | Licence and legal entity. Full points when confirmed in the regulator register; 75% when only declared by the casino; 50% when only reported by a secondary source. Tier-1 regulators score higher. |
| Withdrawals | 25 | Stated processing time, fees and limits; after our own test — the measured time and transaction hash. |
| KYC transparency | 15 | Whether the KYC/AML policy is published and states its triggers. We score clarity, not the absence of checks. |
| Crypto payments | 15 | Coins and networks supported, minimum deposits. |
| Bonus fairness | 10 | Wagering requirement, max bet, win caps. |
| Provably fair | 10 | Documented provably-fair verification for in-house games. |
Rules
- Unknown = 0. We never fill gaps with averages or assumptions.
- Minimum data. A score is shown only when at least 60% of the weight is documented. Otherwise we show data completeness.
- Tested vs research-based. “Tested” requires our own deposit and withdrawal with the transaction hash. Everything else is labelled “Research-based”.
- Re-checks. Facts carry a check date and are re-verified at least monthly; licences in this segment change often.
- Sponsored placements, if we ever sell them, are labelled “Sponsored” and kept outside the rating.
