About CryptoWagerIndex
CryptoWagerIndex is an independent, text-only index of crypto casinos and sportsbooks. Our reviews and guides are written and maintained by Ethel Schaefer. Every operator is scored on the same six published criteria, every figure carries the date it was checked, and nothing on the site is paid for by an operator.
Who is behind CryptoWagerIndex
Ethel Schaefer — Founder and Editor, CryptoWagerIndex. Ethel Schaefer writes and maintains every review, ranking and data table on CryptoWagerIndex. She has worked in search and content for online gambling brands, which is where the habit of checking an operator's cashier and terms rather than its marketing comes from.
Ethel Schaefer researches each operator the same way: open the cashier and read the fees and minimums as a player sees them; read the terms in full, including the withdrawal, bonus and restricted-territory clauses; look the operating company and licence up in the issuing register; and record the date each fact was checked. The score is then produced by the published method, not by impression.
What the site covers
- Rankings: the best crypto casinos overall, plus bitcoin casinos, crypto sportsbooks, instant withdrawals and bonuses.
- Reviews: one per operator, all on the same template, so two reviews read as two rows of one table. See the review index.
- Coins: which operators accept BTC, ETH, USDT and SOL, with networks, settlement times and fees on the coin hub.
- Data: the Fee & Payout Index, the licence register, a dated changelog and a CSV download.
How reviews and rankings are produced
Six criteria, fixed weights: withdrawal speed and reliability (25%), fees and limits (20%), licence and operator transparency (20%), product and usability (15%), promotions and rewards (10%), scale, track record and player sentiment (10%). Each is scored 0–10 with a one-line reason that is published on the review; the headline score is the weighted mean. The full method, including what moves a score down and what never affects one, is on How We Score.
Facts are re-verified monthly; this edition was verified on 23 October 2026. Where a withdrawal time comes from a dated third-party test rather than the operator's own terms, the row says so. Where a figure is not published by an operator, the cell says not disclosed. Nothing is estimated.
Independence
No operator pays for placement, links, reviews or scores. The site has received no payment, commission or consideration of any kind from any operator it ranks, and links to operators are plain links to their own domains with no tracking. No operator reviews content before publication. Full statement on the editorial independence page.
Why there are no images
Tables, dates and sources are the product. A ranking that can be read in full by a person on a phone, by a screen reader, or by a search or AI system without loading a single image is faster, more accessible and harder to misquote. Logos are text; scores are text; charts are tables.
Corrections and updates
If a figure on this site is wrong or out of date, write to about@cryptowagerindex.com with the page and the source. Corrections are made on the page, dated, and recorded in the changelog. Operators may send updates to fees, limits or licences the same way; every update is verified against the operator's own site before a cell changes.
Responsible gambling
Gambling is entertainment with a cost, and outcomes are chance-based. Every operator in the index offers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion; set them when you open an account. You must be 18 (21 where required). If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential help is listed by country on our responsible gambling page.
