BLACKLIST · 47 OPERATORS REJECTED

The crypto casino blacklist

Every operator below failed the 100-point Trust Index and was excluded from the published ranking. The methodology page references this list every time we cite a rejection count; the entries are grouped by canonical rejection-reason bucket (licence, withdrawal integrity, KYC trap, bonus trap, dispute pattern, cloning, geofence misrepresentation). Each row carries the failure detail and the date of the test run that produced the rejection. The list is non-exhaustive — it covers brands we deposit-tested in the 90-day 2026 audit cycle.

Rejection reasons at a glance

The 47 brands break down across 10 canonical rejection buckets. The buckets are not equally weighted in the methodology: a licence-integrity rejection is automatic at protocol step 1, while a bonus-trap rejection requires a multi-step deposit + clearance test before the failure mode is fully evidenced.

044 OctaBet Crypto 3×-deposit max cashout enforced only on bonuses-cleared funds; not disclosed in bonus terms.

POLICY NOTES

How an operator gets on (and off) this list

  • Listing criteria

    An operator is listed when at least one of the canonical buckets above is documented against it during our deposit-test. A single failure inside a single bucket is enough; we do not require pattern-of-failure for licence or withdrawal-integrity buckets.

  • Delisting procedure & timeline

    Operators may request a re-test after addressing the documented failure. Re-tests are not free of effort: we re-deposit, re-time withdrawals, and require a 90-day clean window before delisting. Delisting is at editorial discretion; we publish the delisting decision with reasoning when it happens.

    • Day 0 — operator submits a remediation statement to [email protected] documenting which failure mode was resolved and how.
    • Day 0–14 — editorial review of the statement; we re-deposit and re-time the failure mode under our normal protocol. If the remediation does not survive the first re-test the clock does not start.
    • Day 0–90 clean window — measured from the date the first successful re-test completes, NOT from the original audit date. We monitor complaints, withdrawal-timing, and licence registry during the window; any regression resets the counter.
    • Day 90+ — editorial decision published on this page with the delisting reason and the date the clean window closed. The original blacklist entry stays on the page as a strike-through with the delisting note attached — we do not silently delete blacklist history.
  • Why some brand names are unfamiliar

    Many failing operators recycle brand names every few months — the cloned / reputation-laundered bucket exists exactly for that pattern. Names you don't recognise are usually the freshest skins of older blacklisted parents; we identify the parent in the failure-detail column when the link is documented.

  • Report an operator

    To submit an operator for blacklist review, email [email protected] with the brand name, the URL, and the failure pattern you observed (ideally with timestamps and the withdrawal transaction IDs). Every submission is read by a real editor and triaged inside 48 hours.
