How We Rate Online Crypto Casinos

When we review online crypto casinos, we follow a consistent, structured process every time. At LuckyHat, we don’t hide how we rate casinos. The whole process is right here, out in the open, so you can see exactly how every score is earned.

There are seven primary factors we consider, giving each a rating between 1 and 5 stars:

  1. Reputation: How trustworthy the casino is based on its license, track record, and player feedback.
  2. Casino: The size and quality of the gaming library, including slots, tables, live dealers, and Provably Fair titles
  3. Sportsbook: The strength of the sports betting offering, from odds and markets to features like live streaming.
  4. Crypto Support: How many cryptocurrencies the site accepts and how smoothly crypto transactions are handled.
  5. Player Experience: How easy, fast, and enjoyable the site is to use across desktop and mobile.
  6. Promotions: The overall value of the welcome bonus, ongoing rewards, and VIP or loyalty program.
  7. Customer Support: How fast, available, and helpful the casino’s support channels are when you need assistance.

Below, you’ll find an exact breakdown of what each star rating means for every category.

Other Factors We Consider

While the above seven factors are the ones we focus on, there are other subtle aspects to an online crypto casino that we also take into account. We don’t give these a rating 1 through 5, but they can have an influence on the final, overall rating:

  • Ease of sign-up: You should be able to sign-up, deposit, and start playing on an online crypto casino in just a few minutes.
  • Anonymity: No one likes giving away their personal information. We prefer crypto casinos that require limited KYC (or ideally, none at all).
  • Terms & Conditions: We take a close look at every casino’s terms and conditions page in case we find anything unusual, unfair, or shady.
  • Responsible Gambling Tools: Every good casino should allow players to apply Deposit Limits, Stake Limits, Loss Limits, Short Breaks, and Self-Exclusion.
