Methodology

How We Score Crypto Casinos

Every brand on RushLayer is rated across eight editorial angles. Each angle is scored 1 to 10, then weighted into a single headline score. Below is exactly what we measure, where the data comes from, and how often we re-check it.

The short version. Scores reflect what the product actually does today, not what an operator’s marketing page claims. We do not accept payment for placement. We do hold active affiliate partnerships with every brand we list, which we disclose on every page. Rankings are editorial.

Where the data disagrees with public perception (a popular brand scores lower than expected, an under-the-radar brand scores higher), we publish the disagreement and explain it. Re-evaluation happens at minimum twice a year per brand and on any major product change in between.

Re-evaluation cadence

Every covered brand is re-scored at least twice a year. We also re-score on any major event: a license change, a public dispute that crosses a threshold of severity, a material product launch (in-house sportsbook, new VIP tier, new banking method), or a corporate event (acquisition, leadership change, jurisdiction switch).

When a score changes, the brand’s review page shows the previous score struck through next to the new one, with a one-line explanation of why. Old comparison snapshots are archived rather than overwritten so anyone can see the trajectory.

Conflict of interest

We hold active affiliate partnerships with all five covered brands (Gamdom, Stake, BC.Game, Rainbet, Yeet) and earn commission on referred players. Commission rates and tier structures differ per brand, which would obviously create incentives to inflate higher-payout partners if we let them. The eight-angle framework above is the mechanism we use to keep that from happening: a brand cannot rank higher than the sum of its angles.
