How we compare crypto casinos, in plain words

Sources that count

1. The casino's own documents. General terms, bonus terms, AML policy and help centre. We quote the clause number beside each figure. Where a document does not number its clauses, we quote the heading instead, for example “General bonus terms, unnumbered.” We never invent a clause number to tidy a table.

2. Licence registers. We search the Curaçao certificate portal by domain, because a domain is the only key that matches a brand to an entry without guessing, and we check the Anjouan public register as well. Of the 100 domains, the Curaçao portal returned 43 certificates and the Anjouan register held 39 entries. We quote the status exactly as the register shows it on the day. BC.Game's Curaçao record, for instance, reads Revoked, and we describe it that way.

3. Our two money tests. On 28 August 2026 we deposited at Vave, played and withdrew, and no ID was requested up to 5,000 USDT. In May 2026 we did the same at TrustDice: crypto withdrawals arrived in 10 to 15 minutes each, with no ID until withdrawals reached about 5,000 USDT in total. Those are the only two accounts we describe as tested. The details, and why a test result never becomes a general payout speed, are on how we treat payout claims.

Sources that never count

Review sites and rating aggregators. Not as a fallback, not for a single table cell. The reason is practical. We once held a weekly withdrawal ceiling of $25,000 for Jackbit that had come from a third-party review. Jackbit's own clause 12 says $10,000 per seven days and $20,000 per thirty days. The review figure was not slightly off; it described a rule the document does not contain. It lasted until someone opened the clause.

Homepage claims presented as terms. Several casinos advertise a payout time on the homepage and print none in their terms. Rainbet shows five to fifteen minutes on its homepage, while section 8 of its terms sets no time. We record the homepage line as the casino's own claim and never repeat it as a measured duration.

Third-party numbers about Duelbits. Game counts, player counts, payout times and revenue figures circulate widely. None comes from Duelbits' own documents, so none appears here.

How a comparison is put together

When we set Duelbits against another casino, both get the same questions, answered from their own documents:

• Does the licence show as Active in the register, and under which company?
• What does the ID clause say, and does it name an amount?
• What withdrawal window is printed, and when does the clock start?
• Is there a withdrawal ceiling, or only an instalment rule?
• What do the bonus terms say about wagering, maximum bet and expiry?
• Which coins and networks does the cashier list?

Each answer carries its clause and the date we read it. If the documents we read give no answer, the table shows a dash and the text says so. The same six questions, set out for a player to use, are on six checks before you switch, and every head-to-head is collected on our Duelbits comparison hub.

Duelbits itself is read a little differently. We captured its public front page on 26 August 2026. Everything deeper, from its terms and help centre to its rewards, Originals and promotions pages, comes from Duelbits' own pages as archived by the Wayback Machine, and each such fact is written as “Duelbits' help centre, as archived on” a given date. We never opened an account there, so nothing is described as seen inside a Duelbits cashier or lobby.

Three kinds of answer

We keep three statements apart, because they mean different things to a player:

• The casino prints X. A clause, a document, a date.
• The casino prints nothing on this point. We read the whole section and it is silent.
• We did not read it. The document did not open, or we have not reached it yet.

The second is a real finding. Bitcasino.io prints a window of up to three working days for fiat withdrawals at clause 6.1, and no processing time for crypto anywhere in its terms or help centre. Knowing that took reading the whole withdrawal section, and it tells a crypto player something useful.

There is no overall score. A score would blend answers we read with answers we could not find, and there is no fair way to weigh one against the other.

How we date everything

Dates are never adjusted to match each other. Vave's terms were captured on 25 August 2026, and its register entry was checked on 2 September. The terms and register records for 100 operators were read on 26 August. Eleven payout and ID sections were read on 2 September. Shuffle's terms and AML policy were read on 8 September. Those are separate dates and they stay separate, because documents change between readings.

Where a document came from an archived copy instead of the live site, we say so, with the archive date. The full dated list of what we read is on About us.

Who pays us, and what that buys

Vave is our advertiser and the only paid placement on the site. It pays us when someone opens an account through our Vave button. That payment buys the button and nothing else: no position in a list, no softer wording. What we print about Vave is its own clauses, read on 25 August 2026: a three-day processing window at clause 8.1, verification at the operator's discretion before any payout at clause 8.7, and payment in instalments over up to thirty days above 50,000 USDT at clause 8.8. Its licence, Curaçao OGL/2024/1676/0905 held by Latcas B.V., reads Active.

Open Vave

When a figure on our pages changes, we log the old figure, the new one and the reason with a date. We do not edit mistakes away quietly. That is also how we keep our Duelbits alternatives comparison honest over time.
