This is not a casino.

It is a record of what crypto gambling operators announced, and what actually happened afterward.

If you came here to place a bet, there is nothing for you on this site.

What this site does

NewsFilings, enforcement actions, licence grants and revocations, insolvencies. Reported as they happen, with the document attached.
InformationPlain explanations of how these platforms are structured, who holds the funds, what a licence in a given jurisdiction actually requires, and what "provably fair" does and does not mean.
AggregationScattered records pulled into one place. Regulatory filings, corporate registrations, audit claims and court dockets sit in different systems in different countries. Here they sit next to each other.
AnalysisWhat the assembled record shows. Clearly marked as our reading, and never mixed with the record itself.

The method

Every entry has the same shape. A claim was made publicly, on a date, in a document anyone can check. Something followed, or nothing did. Both halves are cited.

AnnouncedAn independent audit of reserves is commissioned and publicised.

Then whatThe audit is never published. The announcement stays online.

AnnouncedA platform states it holds a licence in a named jurisdiction.

Then whatThe regulator's own register lists no such holder.

AnnouncedPlayer funds are described as segregated and on-chain.

Then whatWithdrawals are paused. The chain shows where the funds went.

Our standard

Documented record and opinion are kept apart and labelled. Where a claim rests on a filing, the filing is cited. Where it rests on our reading of two documents placed side by side, we say so plainly.

We take no payment, affiliate commission or advertising from any gambling operator, and we never will. There are no referral links on this site and there will not be any. That is the whole basis on which this is worth reading.

We correct errors. If something here does not match the record, write to us with what you have and it will be fixed.

Why bother

Crypto gambling is covered almost entirely by outlets that depend on operators for advertising and access. When a platform collapses, the coverage arrives after the money is gone and rarely returns to what was promised beforehand.

The filings exist. The press releases exist. Nobody is reading them next to each other. That is the entire gap this site is built to fill.

In development

The first entries are being assembled now. If you are a journalist, researcher, regulator or attorney working in this area, or you have documents that belong in the record, get in touch.

Gambling, Clearly: Six Steps

Web3Casino.com looks at gambling with clear eyes: how the games really work, what the law says, and the tools that keep play in check.

0 of 6 complete

Every casino game is built so the operator keeps a percentage of all money wagered over time. In the long run, the more you play, the more the math works against you.

House edge

In the US, online casino games are legal in only a small number of states, each with its own license and rules. Many offshore and crypto sites are not licensed where you live.

Licensing

Some crypto casinos publish a method to verify each result was not tampered with. A fair game still carries a house edge.

Provably fair

Licensed operators must offer deposit, loss and time limits. Set them before you play, not after a bad night.

Deposit limit

Chasing losses, hiding play, borrowing to gamble and feeling restless when you stop are signs gambling has become a problem.
