About PlayMagpie
Independent ratings for crypto casinos. We score on what actually matters to players.
What We Do
PlayMagpie rates and ranks crypto casinos based on four metrics that directly affect your experience: withdrawal speed, bonus fairness, KYC friction and platform trust. We do not accept paid placements. Our scores are independent, and the rankings order is trust-score order: operators cannot buy a position.
PlayMagpie is an independent publisher. We are not owned by, invested in, or affiliated with any casino operator, game provider or payment company. The site covers crypto casinos for players in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the Nordic countries; it is not intended for UK players.
Editorial Standards
Three rules govern every page. First, verify or omit: legal and tax claims cite primary sources (the statute, the regulator, the tax authority) or they do not appear; where we lack a verified figure, we say so rather than inventing one. Second, the criticism stays in: documented complaint cases, confiscation clauses and hidden fees are published with specifics, including for operators who pay us commission. Third, no fake freshness: the "Facts last verified" date on reviews and country guides only changes when we have actually re-verified the page against its sources.
The full process, including what we deliberately do not claim to do and the pages we have refused to build, is documented on our methodology page.
How We Score Casinos
Withdrawal Score
Stated processing windows, automated vs batch-manual processing, documented limits and holds, and the coin lineup for fast settlement. Sourced from cashier T&Cs and public complaint records, not invented lab tests.
Bonus Fairness Score
We read the full T&Cs. We calculate the real expected value of each bonus based on wagering requirements, game contributions and caps.
KYC Score
Lower is better. We rate how much personal information a casino requires and when it asks for it: at signup, at deposit, or only at high withdrawal thresholds.
Trust Score
Licence quality, platform history, documented complaint patterns and whether the T&Cs match the marketing. Moves most on negative evidence, which is why our lowest-scored operator is one that pays commission.
How We Make Money
PlayMagpie earns commission when you sign up at a casino through one of our links. This is standard affiliate revenue and does not affect our scores or rankings. We would rather lose a commission than recommend a casino we do not stand behind.
