What counts as a crypto casino
A crypto casino, for this list, is a site where crypto is the main way money moves: you deposit coins from your own wallet, play, and withdraw coins back to an address you control. A fiat casino that bolted a Bitcoin button onto its cashier does not count. Neither does a sweepstakes site that pays out in gift cards. The catch is that "crypto" describes the payment rail, not the operator. Every site here holds an offshore licence or claims one, and none of them is regulated where most of my readers live.
That matters because what goes wrong at a crypto casino is rarely the blockchain. It is the terms: who is allowed to play, when documents get requested, how much of a bonus you can actually take out. So this page is built around those terms, read clause by clause, not around game counts and banner bonuses.
How I picked these sites
Every casino here went through the same review process, described on how I rate. To be listed, a site must:
- take crypto deposits and pay crypto withdrawals in several coins (the current entries accept 6, 9 and 11);
- name its licence or licence claim on its own pages, so I can quote it word for word;
- publish where it refuses players, as countries or as US states;
- have terms I read in full, including the bonus and verification clauses;
- stay off the Shit List.
The order follows each review's score, which weights payout 25%, reputation 20%, KYC 15%, games 15%, bonus 15% and support 10%. All three scores are still marked provisional. None of these sites has a payout test from me yet, so the payout weight rests on published terms and third-party reports, and each card says so.
The top 3 at a glance
Three published reviews qualify today, so this is the whole list rather than a top slice. "Not yet" in the payout column means I have not cashed out of that site myself; the review shows what the operator declares.

Roobet is the most mature product of the three: online since 2019, 14 provably fair originals and a sportsbook. Bovada is the odd one out, built for US players and sportsbook first, with a footer licence claim that carries no number. Rainbet launched in 2023 and has 16 provably fair originals, but the weakest paperwork, starting with two different company names for the same registration number.
What to watch out for
- KYC "at any time". All three let you start without documents, and all three keep the right to ask later. Rainbet may require verification "prior to granting any withdrawals". Roobet can restrict deposits and withdrawals until you finish identification. Bovada may check your details against government ID. None publishes a threshold.
- Deposit wagering before withdrawal. Rainbet puts a 1x wager lock on every crypto deposit, doubled while a promotion is active. Roobet wants the deposit wagered 100%. Bovada says all deposits must be wagered completely. Parking coins and pulling them out untouched is not an option anywhere here.
- Bonus caps. Rainbet caps withdrawals from welcome promo codes at $50. Bovada's crypto sports bonus is 5x on sports but 30x if you play it in the casino. Read the clause before typing the code; the wagering calculator turns it into a turnover figure.
- Restricted territories. Rainbet excludes 12 territories, including the US, the UK, Germany and Spain. Roobet lists 23, including the US and the UK. Bovada blocks 19 US states plus DC. Rainbet and Bovada forbid VPNs in writing, and Roobet can void bets after a breach of its territory rule.
- Licences you cannot open. Roobet quotes a Curaçao number that a third party reports as active, but I could not open it on the register. Rainbet's number is not on its own pages. Bovada names two authorities and no number. "Licensed" is where checking starts, not where it ends.
Common mistakes
Sending coins on the wrong network: Bovada takes ETH and USDT only on ERC-20, and a token sent on another chain is a support ticket at best. Typing a welcome code without reading its cap. Leaving a balance on the site between sessions; Bovada zeroes balances after 18 months of inactivity, and any account can be frozen while a policy changes. And reading "instant payouts" on a homepage as a promise. Roobet makes that claim with no processing time in its terms, and Bovada's own help centre says approval takes about 24 hours.
How to use this list
The chips above the cards filter by coin, sportsbook, KYC level and payout speed without reloading; you can also sort by score or by the date I last verified a site. Each card opens the full review, where the excluded countries, the exact KYC wording and the bonus terms are quoted. If you bet on sport too, crypto sportsbooks ranks the same operators on markets and limits. If documents are your main worry, start from no-KYC casinos. Stablecoin players can go straight to USDT casinos. Before you deposit anywhere, check the Shit List. When my withdrawals start, their timings and transaction hashes go on the payout tests page.
