HOW WE REVIEW CRYPTO CASINOS

Every ranking on ProvenlyFair.com is backed by real deposit data, hands-on testing, and a standardized 7-category scoring system. Here is exactly how we do it.

OUR PROCESS

Every review follows the same four-step methodology.

01
Volume Data
We pull on-chain deposit volume from Tanzanite Analytics to establish each casino's real market position and growth trajectory.
02
Real Deposits
We deposit real cryptocurrency at every casino we review. No demo accounts, no free credits — real money testing to verify the actual user experience.
03
7-Category Scoring
Each casino is scored across 7 standardized categories with weighted averages to produce a final rating out of 10.
04
Monthly Updates
Reviews are re-evaluated monthly when new Tanzanite data drops. Scores, volume figures, and bonus details are updated to reflect current conditions.

Volume Data from Tanzanite Analytics

Unlike most review sites that rely on self-reported casino data or affiliate payouts to determine rankings, ProvenlyFair.com uses Tanzanite Analytics — an independent on-chain data provider that tracks cryptocurrency deposits to verified casino wallet addresses.

This gives us objective, verifiable numbers for:

  • Total monthly deposit volume (USD equivalent)
  • Number of individual deposit transactions
  • Average deposit size per player
  • Month-over-month growth trends

Volume data is the foundation of our rankings because it reflects real player behavior — not marketing budgets or affiliate commissions.

Testing Process: Real Deposits, Real Withdrawals

Every casino review on ProvenlyFair.com involves hands-on testing with real cryptocurrency. Our reviewers:

  • Create a new account and complete any registration process
  • Deposit cryptocurrency (typically $100-$500 in BTC or ETH)
  • Test 10+ games across different categories (slots, table games, originals, live dealer)
  • Verify provably fair implementations by checking server seeds and hash chains
  • Initiate a withdrawal and time it from request to wallet confirmation
  • Contact customer support with a test question and evaluate response quality
  • Test the mobile experience on both iOS and Android devices

Update Frequency

All reviews are updated on a monthly cadence aligned with Tanzanite data releases. Volume figures, growth percentages, and deposit counts are refreshed each cycle. Bonus details, wagering requirements, and game counts are verified quarterly or whenever a casino announces changes. We only change a review's "last updated" date when the content has materially changed — we do not re-stamp pages to look fresh.

Who Writes and Tests These Reviews

ProvenlyFair.com is maintained by a small editorial team of crypto-gambling analysts and reviewers. Every review carries a named author, and you can see the people behind our coverage — their backgrounds, areas of focus, and the casinos they cover — on our authors page. Volume analysis, provably-fair verification, and withdrawal testing are carried out by team members with hands-on experience across dozens of crypto casinos.

AI Assistance and Human Oversight

We use AI tools to help draft and structure some of our written content, as many publishers now do. What AI does not do here is decide rankings, invent data, or replace hands-on testing. Every figure on this site — deposit volumes, scores, withdrawal times, bonus terms — originates from Tanzanite Analytics or our own real-money testing, and is checked by a human before publication.

In short: automation helps us write faster; it never determines which casino ranks where. Where a page relies on data we could not independently verify, we say so rather than presenting it as tested fact.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. Rankings are determined by Tanzanite volume data and our 7-category scoring system. We earn affiliate commissions when users click our links and register, but this has zero impact on scores or rankings. A casino paying us more in commissions will never receive a higher score. Our affiliate disclosure explains this in full detail.
We test provably fair implementations by placing bets, recording the server seed hash before the bet, then verifying the unhashed server seed after the bet resolves. We check that the SHA-256 hash of the revealed seed matches the pre-bet hash, and that the game outcome was correctly derived from the combined client seed, server seed, and nonce. We document this process for each casino's original games.
When a casino's performance changes significantly — positive or negative — we update the review and adjust the score accordingly. We note the change date and reason in the review. If a casino suffers a security breach, implements unfavorable policy changes, or loses its license, we will flag this prominently and may reduce the score immediately rather than waiting for the monthly cycle.
Yes. If a crypto casino is not yet on ProvenlyFair.com and you believe it deserves coverage, contact us. We prioritize casinos that appear in Tanzanite data with meaningful volume, as this indicates genuine player activity. We generally do not review casinos with less than $1M in monthly deposit volume, as smaller operations are harder to verify.
Each of the 7 categories is scored from 0 to 10, then multiplied by its weight. The sum of weighted scores produces the final rating. For example: Game Variety (9.0 x 0.20) + Provably Fair (10.0 x 0.15) + Withdrawal Speed (9.0 x 0.15) + Bonus Value (8.0 x 0.15) + UX (9.0 x 0.15) + Security (9.0 x 0.10) + Support (8.0 x 0.10) = 8.95/10. Scores are rounded to one decimal place.
We use AI tools to help draft and structure some written content, but all rankings, scores, and data come from Tanzanite Analytics and our own real-money testing — and every page is reviewed by a human before it goes live. AI never decides which casino ranks where, and we never present unverified figures as tested fact.
