How Jessica Tests Crypto Casinos

I spent four years writing about payments compliance before I wrote a word about gambling, which is an unusual route into this and the reason I read terms pages before landing pages. The pattern that made me start covering crypto casinos was how many complaints came down to the same thing: someone told a site was no-KYC, discovering at withdrawal that it was not.

So this page is built around the question operators are least keen to answer. What will you be asked for, when, and how long does review take? I fund every account myself, log each document request and time each review. Where a site advertises one thing and its terms say another, I go with the terms and say so.

I am based in Austin. If a site's verification behaviour does not match what I published, email me — I would rather re-test and correct the page than defend a number.

The Method in Short

Fund the account personally. Play. Request a withdrawal. Log the submission time, the approval time and the arrival time as three separate numbers. Rank on the middle one, because it is the only number the operator controls. Re-test when a reader reports something different.
