🔍 Transparency & How We Operate

Most crypto casino "review" sites hide how they make money and how they rank casinos. We don't. Here's exactly how CryptoCasinoSorted works.

How We Make Money

We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up to a casino through our links. This is standard in the gambling review industry, and it's how we keep the site free.

Important: Affiliate commissions do NOT influence our rankings. Rankings are based on the actual value and terms of each casino's rewards program — not on which casino pays us more.

Casinos We Have Affiliate Deals With

Full disclosure — we currently have affiliate partnerships with the following casinos:

Stake
BC.Game
Rollbit
Roobet
Duelbits
Shuffle
Bitsler

We're actively pursuing partnerships with more casinos. As we add new affiliate deals, we'll update this page.

How We Rank Rewards

We score every casino's rewards program against five objective factors. The full breakdown lives on our How We Rank page, but in short:

  • Expected value: whether rakeback, cashback, lossback, bonuses and promotions have realistic value after wagering terms, game weighting and withdrawal restrictions.
  • Trust: visible terms, provably fair tools, public reputation, withdrawal complaints and consistency between marketing and the actual rules.
  • Clarity: clear reward formulas, bonus terms and KYC triggers score higher than vague promises or hidden thresholds.
  • Friction: we penalise withdrawal delays, confusing wallet flows, surprise verification and bonus lockups.
  • Depth: VIP progression, supported coins, game library and whether there's enough substance for repeat play.
Casinos cannot pay to improve their ranking. If a casino offers us a higher commission to rank them #1, we decline. Rankings reflect the math and the terms — nothing else.

How We Evaluate Rewards

What we do:

  • Read the actual rakeback, cashback and VIP terms — not the marketing headline
  • Model bonus value after wagering requirements and game weighting (see our Bonus Calculator)
  • Compare rakeback rates side by side across operators (see Rakeback Comparison)
  • Factor in withdrawal speed, KYC triggers and community sentiment from Reddit and Discord

What we DON'T do:

  • Rank casinos by who pays us the most
  • Republish casino marketing copy as if it were a review
  • Ignore the fine print — wagering requirements and reward caps are where the real value is decided

Reward terms change often and can vary by region. We verify them regularly, but always confirm the current offer directly with the casino before depositing.

Editorial Policy

  • We do not accept payment for positive reviews
  • We disclose affiliate relationships clearly on every casino page
  • If we test a casino ourselves, we note it in the review
  • Community quotes are real and unedited (except for formatting)
  • We update rankings as reward terms and offers change

Our Mission

Traditional casino review sites regurgitate marketing copy and rank casinos based on who pays the highest commission. We're building something different: an independent platform that helps crypto gamblers find the rewards program that actually fits their wager size, rakeback goals and risk tolerance — backed by honest math and real community feedback.

We're not perfect, and reward terms move fast. But we're honest about our methodology, and we're constantly improving it.
