How We Rate Casinos
Our methodology at oxibet is built on eight core pillars, each weighted by importance to produce a fair and transparent final score. We evaluate every casino against the same set of standards so you can trust that our 1–10 rating reflects consistent, evidence-based criteria.
1. Licensing & Regulation
Licensing is the foundation of any trustworthy casino. A valid license from a recognized authority is mandatory before a casino can appear on our site. We accept licenses issued by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), Curaçao eGaming, and the local СФ license. We verify the license number, confirm its active status, and check whether the operator is legally permitted to offer services in the target jurisdiction. Casinos operating without proper licensing receive an automatic low score in this category, regardless of other strengths.
2. Game Selection & Software Providers
The depth and quality of a casino's game library directly shape the player experience. We assess the total number of slots, the variety of live casino tables, and the range of classic table games such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker. We also examine the software providers powering the games. Leading studios like NetEnt, Microgaming, Play'n GO, Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, and Yggdrasil signal fairness, reliability, and innovation. A diverse provider portfolio gives players access to different game styles, volatility levels, and unique features.
3. Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements
A bonus is only as valuable as its terms. We carefully read the full terms and conditions of every welcome offer, reload bonus, and free spins promotion. Key factors include the wagering requirement (rollover), the maximum cashout limit, game contribution percentages, and the validity period. We flag misleading offers, hidden clauses, and unreasonable playthrough demands. Casinos with transparent, player-friendly bonus terms score higher in this category.
4. Payment Methods & Withdrawal Speed
Fast, secure payments are essential to a positive experience. We evaluate the range of deposit and withdrawal options, including cryptocurrencies, e-wallets, and bank transfers. Withdrawal speed is a major factor — casinos that process payouts within 24 hours score higher than those that take several business days. We also check for hidden fees, minimum and maximum transaction limits, and the KYC verification process. Crypto-friendly operators receive additional points for speed and anonymity.
5. Customer Support
Reliable customer support is non-negotiable. We test the responsiveness of live chat, email, and any other support channels available. A 24/7 live chat with real human agents earns the highest marks. We measure average response times, the quality of answers provided, and the availability of a detailed FAQ section. Multilingual support is also a plus for international players.
6. Mobile Experience
Most players now access casinos from their phones. We evaluate the mobile experience across multiple devices and operating systems. Responsive design that adapts to any screen size is essential. Dedicated iOS and Android apps are a bonus if they offer the full feature set of the desktop version. We test game loading times, navigation ease, and the availability of banking and support features on mobile devices.
7. Responsible Gaming Tools
A responsible casino provides tools to help players stay in control. We look for deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, self-exclusion options, and cooling-off periods. The best operators also offer links to external problem gambling resources and allow players to set limits directly from their account dashboard. Casinos that lack these tools or bury them in fine print receive a lower score in this category.
8. Our Rating Scale
Every casino receives a final score from 1 to 10. The seven criteria above are weighted by importance, with Licensing & Regulation carrying the highest weight. Here is how we interpret each score range:
- 9–10: Outstanding — top-tier casino that exceeds expectations across all categories
- 7–8: Very Good — strong overall offering with minor room for improvement
- 5–6: Average — acceptable but with notable weaknesses in one or more areas
- 3–4: Below Average — significant concerns in licensing, fairness, or user experience
- 1–2: Poor — avoid; major red flags in security, licensing, or payout reliability
Our scoring uses a weighted average. Licensing & Regulation accounts for the largest share of the final score, followed by Game Selection & Software Providers, Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements, Payment Methods & Withdrawal Speed, Customer Support, Mobile Experience, and Responsible Gaming Tools. This weighting ensures that the most critical factors — safety, fairness, and transparency — have the greatest impact on a casino's rating.
