How crypto casinos actually work
Seven plain English guides to the parts that decide whether you keep your money.
Bonuses
What a bonus is worth after wagering, max bet rules and cashout caps.
No deposit bonuses
Free credit and free spins, and the cashout cap attached to them.
Promo codes
What a code unlocks and how to tell a real one from bait.
Apps
Why there is rarely a store app, and what to install instead.
Provably fair
Server seed, client seed, nonce: how to check a result yourself.
Withdrawals
How long a cashout really takes and what holds it up.
Account security
Two factor login, phishing and what to do when you are locked out.
Before you deposit
Three checks an insider makes first
Five minutes with the terms page tells you more than any review.
-
Find the licence
Scroll to the footer and click the licence badge. It should open the regulator's own page naming that casino. A badge that is only an image tells you nothing.
-
Do the bonus maths
Multiply the wagering by the house edge. If the answer is bigger than the bonus, the offer costs you money on average. Then find the maximum bet and the cashout cap.
-
Test the way out
Read the withdrawal limits and the verification policy, then cash out a small amount early. How a casino handles a small payout is how it will handle a large one.
Countries
What the law says where you live
Whether online casinos are licensed, who regulates them and where crypto fits.
18+ only. In most of these countries a casino that takes crypto is not locally licensed, which means no local regulator stands behind your money. Gambling can be addictive. Free support is available from Gambling Therapy.
Questions
Before you read on
Is Cryptorino a casino?
No. Cryptorino is an independent guide to how crypto casinos work. It is not a casino, holds no player accounts and takes no deposits or bets. If you are looking for an account at a casino, this site is not it.
Are crypto casinos legal?
It depends on where you live. Most countries that license online casinos require licensed sites to work in local currency, so crypto casinos usually operate offshore and outside local protection. The country guides explain the position in each place covered.
Are crypto casinos safe?
Some are run honestly and some are not, and paying in crypto removes the chargeback and bank protections you may be used to. Check the licence, read the bonus and withdrawal terms, and test a small withdrawal before trusting a site with more.
Does Cryptorino recommend or rank casinos?
No. The site explains how things work so you can judge any casino yourself. If a page ever contains a commercial link, it will be labelled clearly on that page.
