Our Trust Score Algorithm
How we calculate the CasinoCodex Trust Score out of 100.
Licensing & Regulation (30 Points)
The foundation of trust is legal accountability. Casinos are scored based on the strength and reputation of their regulatory body. A UKGC or MGA license awards maximum points, whereas a standard Curacao sub-license awards moderate points. Unlicensed casinos score a zero in this category and are flagged.
Financial Liquidity & Speeds (25 Points)
If you win big, you need to be paid quickly. We score operators on their monthly withdrawal limits, the speed at which they process payouts (e.g., instant crypto withdrawals vs. 5-day bank wires), and the absence of predatory hidden fees on transactions.
Fairness & Game Providers (20 Points)
We evaluate the integrity of the game library. Casinos partnering with audited tier-1 providers (like Evolution, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play) or offering Provably Fair crypto games score highest. Evidence of pirated games results in an immediate blacklisting.
Player Experience & Support (15 Points)
This category measures usability. Does the casino have 24/7 live chat? Is the KYC (Know Your Customer) process straightforward or excessively burdensome? Do they offer a native mobile app or a highly responsive web interface?
Responsible Gambling (10 Points)
Ethical operators protect their players. We award points to casinos that allow players to voluntarily set deposit limits, loss limits, and trigger self-exclusion periods directly from their account dashboard without needing to contact support.
