Scores come from documents

Rankings come only from documents

When looking at casino site rankings, the first thing to check is the calculation method stated below the ranking table. This site does not play games or make deposits. Points are assigned based on the terms, user protection provisions, and withdrawal policies disclosed by the operator. Actual play experience is not included in the score.

Online casino rankings are based on documented records, not advertising copy submitted by operators. For example, if a withdrawal limit is stated in the terms, it counts as a verifiable item and earns points. Conversely, if there is only a promotional page and no terms, that item cannot earn points. This principle applies equally to all operators.

Bitcoin casino rankings use the same criteria. We do not award bonus points just for claiming to support coin deposits and withdrawals. We check whether conditions such as wallet address generation, fees, and minimum withdrawal amounts are in the documentation. Information not present in the documents is not treated as nonexistent; it is left as missing.

The scope of documentation is limited to the terms, user protection provisions, and withdrawal policies disclosed by the operator. Promotional pages and affiliate text are excluded from scoring. The documents must be publicly accessible for anyone to review.

Scores are fixed based on the documents at a specific point in time. If the operator later changes the terms, the score follows the previous documents until an update. On a ranking table, it is important to know at what point in time the documents were read.

Missing is not zero points

If a cell is treated as zero points whenever an operator does not disclose a specific figure, the ranking becomes distorted. Not disclosing something and disclosing a bad condition represent different amounts of information. Therefore, this site leaves such cells as missing and excludes them from the total score by the weight of that item. This makes it difficult for operators with few published materials to receive a high score.

The biggest reason for handling as missing is to preserve comparability. If all items were given 0 points, operators hiding information would be disadvantaged, but at the same time the score distribution would be lower than it actually is. Keeping items as missing preserves the meaning that the score is an assessment within the confirmed range. Unverified areas are not judged.

Therefore, an operator with many publicly disclosed figures is not necessarily a good operator. However, in this site's ranking table, the top ranks go to those with many verifiable documents and clear conditions in those documents. If there are many undisclosed items, the ranking is not lowered; instead, they are excluded from the score calculation, reducing the comparison set itself.

If the weight of missing items is large, the total score becomes that much smaller. For example, if withdrawal conditions are not verified, that item is removed from the denominator. Unlike zero scoring, the score distribution is not skewed downward.

Undisclosed information does not necessarily mean bad terms. However, in unverified areas, it is impossible to know which conditions apply. Rankings are only assigned within the verified range.

Items Included in the Score

The score calculation includes operator verification information, withdrawal conditions, bonus wagering multipliers, identity verification procedures, and clarity of the terms of service. Each item receives a score only when it can be confirmed through documentation. The point allocation is fixed per item, but the numbers are not repeated on this page because they are already reflected in the ranking table.

In South Korea, legal gambling industries are supervised by the National Gambling Control Commission and are subject to the National Sports Promotion Act. Overseas operators fall outside this supervisory scope, so the operator's license and the regulations of the country of registration are checked separately. The verification items for overseas operators differ from those for domestic operators. Supporting KRW deposits and withdrawals does not mean that domestic law applies.

Figures that operators can control, such as withdrawal speed or customer support response time, may differ from verified terms. This site only uses values stated in documents disclosed by the operator. Real experiences or reported incidents are not included in the score because the score must be reproducible.

Operator verification information may include the operating entity, country of registration, and license number. If a license number is not disclosed, it is treated as missing. The existence of a number and its validity are verified separately.

Clarity of the terms of service is assessed by whether the sentences are readable and whether the conditions are fully stated. If the terms are ambiguous, that item receives a low score. How they would be interpreted in an actual dispute cannot be determined from the text alone.

The Relationship Between Affiliate Disclosure and Rankings

Operators with an affiliate relationship are separately marked in the first row of the ranking table. Affiliate commissions are not added to the score. Affiliate status and score calculation are kept separate. However, users may use the affiliate disclosure as material for their judgment.

Being an affiliate operator does not change how missing values are handled. Undisclosed figures remain missing for affiliate operators as well. The verification criteria apply equally to all operators. An operator indicated in the first row of the ranking table is only disclosing the relationship, not a score.

When reading online casino rankings, you should check whether affiliate disclosure affects the rankings. This site does not reflect affiliate commission rates in the score. Signing up through an affiliate operator's link does not change the score. The disclosure is for transparency and does not constitute a recommendation.

Affiliate commissions are not included in the rankings because the purpose of the score is comparison. A higher commission rate does not make the documents better. The affiliate disclosure serves solely as a separate transparency mechanism.

Users should read the calculation criteria in the ranking table before signing up through an affiliate link. An affiliate disclosure does not mean that the operator's terms are more favorable. The disclosure reveals the relationship, not a recommendation.

Restricted Countries and Unverified Terms

All operators may include clauses in their terms of service that restrict registration or betting by residents of certain countries. Restricted country clauses have not been individually verified, and users must read the terms themselves before depositing. Unverified clauses may be applied to the user's disadvantage at any time.

Restricted country clauses apply equally when viewing bitcoin casino rankings. Coin deposits and withdrawals crossing borders does not invalidate an operator's terms. In the coin casino score, whether the restriction clauses in the terms have been verified is also included. If not verified, it is missing.

If you need help, you can receive counseling through the Korea Center on Gambling Problems. This site discloses how rankings are calculated but does not make decisions on behalf of users. The standard of safety is based on the verifiability of documents. The score is not a tool to eliminate risk, but a resource for comparison.

Restricted country clauses have different wording for each operator and change when the terms are updated. This site does not verify all operators' terms against individual users' countries of residence. Therefore, users must check directly before depositing.

We do not provide guidance on circumventing geographic blocks. In countries with restrictions under the terms, registration itself may be refused. Depositing without checking the restriction clauses remains the user's responsibility.

The Score Must Be Reproducible

Score calculation should lead anyone who reads the same documents to the same conclusion. That is why subjective assessments or real user reviews are not included in the score.

If the documents change, so does the score. The ranking table reflects only the documents at a specific point in time, so if an operator modifies its terms, it may change at the next update.

Reproducibility allows objections to the score to be raised. It is possible to check against the documents to see why a score was given on a particular item.

What Disclosed Figures Do Not Tell You

Withdrawal limits disclosed by an operator do not guarantee actual withdrawal speed. The limits in the documents and the operational processing times may differ.

The same applies to bonus wagering multipliers. Even if the multiplier is stated in the terms, the actual conditions for converting the balance may vary depending on the user's playing pattern.

Thus, the rankings are a comparison of documented conditions, not a measurement of operational quality. Operational quality is an area outside the documents.

How to Read the Ranking Table

First, read the calculation method below the ranking table. The score calculation method described on this page is the criterion.

Next, check the affiliate disclosure. Since affiliate status is separate from the score, you should not judge rankings based on the disclosure alone.

Finally, read the restricted country clauses directly in the operator's terms. Unverified clauses must be checked before depositing.

The Cost of Unverified Items

Since unverified items are excluded from the score, an operator cannot raise its score by reducing disclosure. On the contrary, the amount of comparable information decreases, making it harder for users to judge.

One might misunderstand that operators that hide information are not disadvantaged because it remains missing. However, in the ranking table, the top ranks belong to those with many disclosed figures.

Operators with a broad unverified scope require users to read more terms on their own. That cost is passed on to the user, not to the score.
