Our ratings come from using a casino the way you would, with our own money on the line. We don’t score from a media pack or a screenshot tour. For Rainbet, that meant a funded account, real deposits in several cryptocurrencies, real withdrawals timed with a stopwatch, and the provably fair tools tested bet by bet.
This page lays out how we work so you can judge the ratings for yourself. Where a figure is something we measured, we say so; where it’s the operator’s published claim, we label it; and where we couldn’t confirm something, we flag it as unconfirmed rather than guessing.
What we actually do
The process is deliberately hands-on, and it runs in the same order every time:
- Register a real account and fund it with crypto across multiple chains.
- Deposit and withdraw repeatedly, timing each transaction to the minute.
- Play the casino and the sportsbook, and claim the rewards on their real schedules.
- Verify provably fair results by rotating seeds and re-checking a past bet.
- Contact live support with genuine questions and time the replies.
- Read the terms - bonus, withdrawal, KYC - end to end.
How the score is weighted
A rating out of 10 is only useful if you know what’s driving it. Payout behaviour carries the most weight, because a casino that won’t pay cleanly fails at the one thing that matters most.
| Area | Weight | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Payouts and speed | Heaviest | Timed withdrawals across chains, fees, limits |
| Fairness and licensing | High | Provably fair checks, licence verification, recourse |
| Games and library | Medium | Depth, providers, demo access, performance |
| Rewards value | Medium | Real value of rakeback, reloads, races over time |
| Support and UX | Lower | Response times, clarity of terms, navigation |
Independence and disclosure
Rainbet Review earns affiliate commissions when readers sign up through tracked links. That funds the testing, but it doesn’t buy a score. The cons sections get as much room as the wins, and we’re willing to say when we can’t recommend something. If a commercial relationship ever conflicted with an honest verdict, the verdict wins.
When we re-test
Casinos change - terms rotate, payout speeds drift, licences get renewed. We re-check the dated figures periodically and note the update. If a fact can’t be re-confirmed, we mark it rather than leave a stale number standing as gospel.
Frequently asked questions
Do you test with real money?
Yes. Every rating comes from a funded real-money account with crypto deposits and timed withdrawals, not a press kit or a demo tour.
Does affiliate income affect your scores?
No. Commissions fund the testing but don’t set the score. Cons get equal room, and we’ll say plainly when we can’t recommend something.
What matters most in your rating?
Payout behaviour carries the most weight, followed by fairness and licensing. A casino that won’t pay cleanly fails at the thing that matters most.
