Independent crypto betting intelligence.
Real tests. Real data.

Most casino review sites are funded entirely by the operators they review. The incentive structure is obvious: platforms that pay higher commissions receive better scores. Platforms that refuse affiliate relationships get buried or blacklisted. Readers have no way of knowing which reviews reflect genuine analysis and which reflect financial arrangements.

CB exists to resist that incentive structure. We have seen how affiliate relationships shape editorial decisions across this industry, and we built CB specifically to work the other way: every platform is tested by a human, with our own money, through a full deposit-bet-withdraw cycle. Nothing is scored that has not been tested. The documented data decides the score — not the commission rate.

This document is our public commitment to that resistance. It explains our scoring methodology, our conflicts of interest policy, what we refuse to do regardless of commercial pressure, and what recourse readers and operators have if they believe we have violated these principles.

On our use of AI: every test, score and finding on this site is produced by a human. We use AI to help write up Reviews from that human test data — it is a drafting tool, not a source of evidence. No score, withdrawal time, fee or KYC result on CB is generated, estimated or verified by AI. If we have not tested it, it is not on the site.

Every CB score is derived from direct testing. We deposit real money. We make real withdrawals. We time them. We screenshot them. We read the terms and conditions — all of them, including the sections in small print that most reviewers skip. We submit support tickets and time the responses. We test on peak hours and off-peak hours. We repeat tests across multiple weeks before publishing a score.

The CB scoring system uses ten weighted dimensions. Two notes on the current methodology: a dedicated withdrawal fees dimension was added in July 2026, because on-chain withdrawal cost is one of the most immediate and least-disclosed realities of crypto betting and deserves to be scored in its own right rather than buried inside another category. A mobile experience dimension is currently parked — CB has not yet tested it across platforms, and would rather omit it than carry weight on untested ground; it will return as a scored dimension once CB has tested it directly.

Scores are updated when CB re-tests a platform or new evidence emerges. When a platform's tested performance changes — positively or negatively — its score changes. A platform cannot lock in a favourable score by paying a higher commission rate.

Provisional scores and coverage. A CB overall score is a weighted average of the dimensions CB has actually tested for that platform. Until CB has tested most dimensions, a score is marked provisional and shown alongside a coverage figure — the share of the methodology weight CB has tested so far. A provisional score can move, up or down, as CB fills the remaining dimensions; a platform tested only on its strongest areas will sit higher than its finished score, and CB says so rather than hiding it. CB does not publish a final score until coverage is reasonably complete.

Verify it yourself — on-chain proof. This is the part of CB's method that matters most, and the part almost no other review site offers. When CB reports a withdrawal or deposit, the review includes the actual blockchain transaction — the hash you can paste into a public block explorer (Tronscan, Etherscan, Solscan) to confirm the amount, the fee, the status and the timing for yourself, straight from the network rather than from CB. The point is not that you should trust CB; it is that you don't have to. A published median is only as good as the site that published it. A transaction hash is checkable by anyone, forever. Where CB states a fee, it is measured against the real on-chain network cost; where CB states a time, it is stopwatch-timed from request to funds landing in an external wallet. If a figure on CB cannot be traced to a documented test, it is not published.

What CB tests, and how deeply. CB tests each platform with real money through a full deposit → bet → withdrawal cycle, and documents every step with screenshots and, for on-chain events, a verifiable transaction. CB is deliberate about not overstating the depth of that testing: most platform scores rest on a documented single-cycle test at the amounts stated in the review, not a multi-week longitudinal study across many withdrawal sizes. That is enough to verify what actually happens when money moves — the fee, the KYC behaviour, the withdrawal time, the bonus terms in practice — and every figure is real. It is not enough to characterise how a platform behaves across dozens of cycles or at very large amounts, and CB does not claim otherwise. Where a finding reflects a single observation, the review says so. Larger or repeated activity over time can behave differently, and CB flags that limit rather than papering over it.

What CB does not test. Honesty about limits is part of the method. CB does not independently audit RNG certification or game fairness at the cryptographic level, does not verify provider RTP figures in a lab, does not perform security or penetration testing of a platform's infrastructure, and does not conduct beneficial-ownership investigations across offshore jurisdictions. Where these matter, CB cites the operator's own published certificates and licences and scores transparency accordingly — but CB does not pretend to have done lab or investigative work it has not done. Claiming audit-grade verification you never performed is the exact affiliate-industry habit CB was built against.

The following are commitments CB holds to regardless of any commercial arrangement. They govern what CB publishes and how it scores:

CB operates a real-time monitoring system that watches for complaint patterns across Reddit, Trustpilot, and our own testing data. When CB identifies a pattern that suggests a platform may be failing players — slow withdrawals, KYC delays, bonus term breaches, support blackouts — CB issues a public warning.

When a warning is issued, CB notifies its Telegram channel immediately. The warning remains on the platform's page and in CB's leaderboard until CB independently verifies resolution — not when the operator tells us it is resolved.

CB also maintains a blacklist of platforms that have received warnings not resolved within 30 days. These platforms are removed from CB's comparison tool and rankings. Any affiliate links are deactivated. This policy applies regardless of commission rate.

CB earns affiliate commission from some of the platforms it covers. That is the central conflict of interest in this business, and we disclose it plainly: a platform that pays commission could, in principle, receive preferential treatment in scoring.

We resist that conflict through method rather than promises. Every platform is tested by a human with our own money, and the recorded evidence — timestamps, transaction records, screenshots — sets the score, not the commercial relationship. We address the conflict through the following commitments:

CB analyses crypto betting platforms for adults in jurisdictions where this activity is legal. This site and its content are not directed at users in the United States, United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, or any other jurisdiction where crypto gambling or the promotion of it is restricted or prohibited. Online gambling laws vary widely by country, state and territory. It is your responsibility to know and comply with the laws that apply to you before using any operator linked from this site. CB carries an age-confirmation gate on entry; see our legal disclaimer for the full position.

CB's content is analytical and informational. We test and score platforms. We do not encourage excessive gambling, promote gambling as a reliable source of income, or publish content designed to exploit vulnerable individuals.

Every CB page carries responsible gambling resources. Every CB video description includes an 18+ notice and a link to BeGambleAware. If a platform CB reviews does not display responsible gambling resources clearly, this is noted as a negative in our trust score.

CB publishes corrections when we get things wrong. If a withdrawal time we published was inaccurate, we correct it, note the correction publicly, and update the score accordingly. We do not delete or silently edit content to remove errors.

If you believe a CB score is inaccurate, inconsistent with our stated methodology, or reflects a conflict of interest we have not disclosed, please contact us. We will investigate and respond within 7 days.

If you are an operator who believes a CB score is unfair or a CB WARNING is unjustified, please contact us with your evidence. We will retest. We will update the score if the evidence warrants it. We will not update the score because you asked us to without evidence.

CB uses AI tools in its production workflow. This includes AI-generated video avatars for YouTube content, AI-assisted script generation using CB's real testing data as source material, and automated monitoring systems that flag complaint patterns for human review.

We disclose this because we believe readers have a right to know. The following commitments apply to CB's use of AI:
