How We Rate

At Adjustableputters, every crypto casino review you read has been personally researched, tested, and written by James Whitfield. This page explains exactly how that process works, what criteria we measure, how we weight each factor, and why you can trust the scores we publish. We believe you deserve full transparency about how we reach our conclusions — so here is our complete review methodology.

Our Review Philosophy

James Whitfield founded adjustableputters.com to give UK players an honest, independent guide to the best crypto casinos available in 2026. The GB market is heavily regulated and fast-moving, and crypto gambling adds an additional layer of complexity that many review sites fail to address properly. Our goal is to cut through marketing noise and give you a clear, fact-based picture of each platform before you deposit a single satoshi.

We do not accept payment from operators in exchange for higher ratings. No casino can buy a better score on this site. Every review reflects our genuine findings only.

Step-by-Step: How James Whitfield Reviews a Crypto Casino

Step 1 — Initial Background Check

Before registering on any platform, James conducts a background check covering the casino's ownership, licensing history, and any publicly documented complaints or regulatory actions. Sites with a history of withholding player funds or operating without valid licences are removed from consideration immediately.

Step 2 — Account Registration and Verification

James creates a real account using the standard sign-up process available to UK players. This tests how straightforward registration is, whether KYC requirements are clearly communicated, and how long identity verification actually takes in practice — not just what the site claims.

Step 3 — Depositing With Crypto

A real deposit is made using one or more supported cryptocurrencies — typically Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a stablecoin — to test wallet integration, transaction speed, minimum deposit thresholds, and whether any fees apply that are not clearly disclosed upfront.

Step 4 — Playing the Games

James plays a range of games across categories including slots, live dealer tables, and provably fair titles. This tests game performance, loading speed, RTP transparency, and whether the software behaves consistently on both desktop and mobile.

Step 5 — Claiming a Bonus

Where available, James claims the welcome bonus and reads the full terms and conditions in detail. Wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and maximum withdrawal caps are all recorded and factored into the bonus score.

Step 6 — Testing Customer Support

James contacts the support team via live chat and, where available, email. Response times, quality of answers, and whether agents have genuine knowledge of crypto transactions are all evaluated.

Step 7 — Processing a Withdrawal

A withdrawal request is submitted to verify processing times, any withdrawal limits, and whether the experience matches what the casino advertises. This is one of the most important steps in the entire review process.

Step 8 — Writing the Review

Only after completing all of the above steps does James write the final review. Every score is based on documented, first-hand experience — not press releases or operator-supplied information.

Our Rating Criteria and Weightings

Each casino receives a final score out of 10, calculated from six weighted categories. Here is how each category contributes to the overall score:

Category Weighting What We Assess
Licensing and Safety 25% Valid licences (including UKGC recognition), SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, and ownership transparency
Bonuses and Promotions 20% Welcome offers, wagering requirements, ongoing promotions, clarity of bonus terms, and fairness of conditions
Game Selection 20% Breadth and quality of slots, live casino, table games, and provably fair crypto titles; quality of software providers
Payment Methods 15% Range of supported cryptocurrencies, transaction speeds, withdrawal processing times, fees, and deposit limits
Customer Support 10% Availability of live chat, response times, agent knowledge, and support for crypto-specific queries
Mobile Experience 10% Mobile browser performance, dedicated app availability, game compatibility, and ease of navigation on smaller screens

Understanding Our Rating Scale

All casinos are scored on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is what each range means:

How Adjustableputters Stays Unbiased

Independence is the foundation of everything we publish. James Whitfield operates adjustableputters.com without editorial influence from any casino operator, affiliate network, or third-party sponsor. While the site may earn referral commissions when readers click through to a casino, these commissions have no effect on ratings or editorial content. A casino that pays a higher commission does not receive a higher score — that relationship simply does not exist here.

Reviews are updated regularly. If a casino changes its terms, withdraws its licence, or deteriorates in quality, the score is revised to reflect current reality. We also publish negative reviews. If a platform fails our testing, we say so clearly and explain why.

Our commitment is to you — the player — not to the operators we write about.
