The method
How a Review Is Done
Every review starts with a deposit and ends with a withdrawal attempt. What happens in between becomes a 0 to 10 on each criterion below, weighted into a score out of 100.
The weights are deliberately uneven. Whether the locks came back out matters more than anything else we record, and the score is built so that it cannot be outvoted by the softer criteria.
What we record
Payout reliability
Do winners actually get paid, every time, without having to chase an owner in Discord? The single thing that matters most.
Track record
How long it has run, who is known to be behind it, and what the community says happened the last time it went down.
Provably fair
Verifiable seeds you can check yourself, a published house edge, and results that hold up when you audit them.
Withdrawal speed
How long between hitting withdraw and the locks being in your world, including at peak hours.
Bonus value
What the free lock, rakeback or deposit match is really worth once the wagering requirement is read properly.
Site & support
Whether it works on a phone, stays up under load, and whether anyone answers when something goes wrong.
What each band means
Deposited, played, withdrew. Everything we checked held up.
Paid out, with something in the write-up worth knowing first.
Paid, but the process gave us a reason to write a caveat.
The withdrawal or the fairness check went wrong. Read the review.
The verdict is not the score
Every listing carries a badge — TRUSTED UNVERIFIED AVOID — that is a conclusion we draw, not a figure we compute.
The two are kept apart so they can disagree. A site can score respectably on everything measurable and still earn a verdict telling people to stay away. A site marked AVOID sinks to the bottom regardless of its score, and its page opens with a warning rather than a link.
What the working cannot show
A review is evidence from one day. It says what happened when we deposited and withdrew then — not what will happen when you do, because the decision that ends these sites is made by a person and made without notice.
Where we have not tested something, it is left blank and excluded from the average rather than scored zero. An unfinished review should read as unfinished, not as a bad one. Read staying safe before you deposit anywhere, including at the top of the board.
