It is not an average of user reviews, a popularity contest, or a paid placement. It is the considered judgement of our editorial team, built from six published sub-scores that each measure a specific, checkable part of an operator&#8217;s offering. Because the method is fixed and public, you can see exactly why one casino earns an 8.4 and another a 6.1, and hold us to it across our <a href=\"\/reviews\/\">crypto casino reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This page sets out how the score is built, the evidence we require before publishing a number, and how often we re-check it. For a shorter, plain-language walkthrough written for new readers, start with <a href=\"\/learn\/reading-the-jackpot-score\/\">reading the Jackpot Score<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The six sub-scores and their weights<\/h2>\n<p>Every review is marked against the same six categories, using the same fixed weights. The weights total 100% and never change from one operator to the next. Licensing and Safety carries the most weight on purpose: in a market full of anonymous offshore brands, whether an operator is genuinely licensed and how it handles your money matters more than any welcome bonus.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Sub-score<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<th>What it measures<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Licensing &amp; Safety<\/td>\n<td>25%<\/td>\n<td>A licence we can verify at the regulator&#8217;s own register, plus account security, fairness signals, and how complaints and locked funds are handled.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Payout Speed<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>How fast verified withdrawals clear, from a real cash-out where possible or aggregated player-report data, and whether extra checks stall them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Crypto Support<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>The coins and networks supported, on-chain fee handling, deposit and withdrawal minimums, and how clear limits are before you commit funds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Game Selection<\/td>\n<td>15%<\/td>\n<td>The depth and quality of slots, live tables, and provably fair titles, the studios behind them, and how openly return-to-player is stated.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bonus Value<\/td>\n<td>10%<\/td>\n<td>The real, after-terms worth of a bonus once wagering, game weighting, maximum bets, and expiry are counted, not the headline percentage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer Support<\/td>\n<td>10%<\/td>\n<td>Whether help is reachable, responsive, and genuinely useful, which channels and hours are offered, and how it responds when things go wrong.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>How the weighted average is calculated<\/h2>\n<p>Each sub-score is marked from 0 to 10. We multiply each sub-score by its weight, add the six results together, and round to one decimal place. Nothing else feeds into the headline number, and there is no discretionary &#8220;editor&#8217;s bump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here is a worked example for an illustrative casino. These figures are a demonstration of the arithmetic only; they are not a rating of any real operator.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Sub-score<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<th>Example mark<\/th>\n<th>Weighted contribution<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Licensing &amp; Safety<\/td>\n<td>25%<\/td>\n<td>8.0<\/td>\n<td>2.000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Payout Speed<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>7.5<\/td>\n<td>1.500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Crypto Support<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>9.0<\/td>\n<td>1.800<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Game Selection<\/td>\n<td>15%<\/td>\n<td>8.5<\/td>\n<td>1.275<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bonus Value<\/td>\n<td>10%<\/td>\n<td>6.0<\/td>\n<td>0.600<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer Support<\/td>\n<td>10%<\/td>\n<td>7.0<\/td>\n<td>0.700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Adding the contributions gives 2.000 + 1.500 + 1.800 + 1.275 + 0.600 + 0.700 = 7.875, which we publish as a Jackpot Score of <strong>7.9<\/strong>. The weighting is what makes licensing decisive: it counts for more than twice what a bonus does, so a licensing failure moves the score far more than a weak promotion ever could.<\/p>\n<h2>The evidence checklist we complete before a score is published<\/h2>\n<p>No Jackpot Score goes live until a reviewer has completed and logged the checklist below. If any item cannot be satisfied, we do not publish a score at all.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Licence verified at the source.<\/strong> The operator&#8217;s licence is confirmed directly against the issuing regulator&#8217;s own public register, not against a logo or a claim on the casino&#8217;s own website. Our full approach is set out in our <a href=\"\/licensing-verification-policy\/\">licensing verification policy<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>At least one real payout data point.<\/strong> Payout Speed is backed by a genuine deposit and withdrawal we carried out, or, where a first-hand test is not possible, by credibly aggregated player-report data. We never guess a withdrawal time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Current bonus terms confirmed.<\/strong> Every wagering requirement, maximum cash-out, and expiry window we quote is checked against the operator&#8217;s own live terms and conditions page on the day of review.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Named editorial sign-off.<\/strong> A named editor reviews the evidence and signs off before the score goes live. The reviewer and the signing editor are recorded in our internal production log; in public, reviews carry the collective Bit Jackpot Editorial Team byline.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How often we re-check a score<\/h2>\n<p>A score is a snapshot, and crypto casinos change quickly, so we re-verify on a schedule rather than leaving old numbers to drift:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Licensing<\/strong> is re-checked against the regulator&#8217;s register at least once a month, and immediately whenever we become aware of a credible change to an operator&#8217;s status.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bonuses<\/strong> each carry a visible &#8220;last verified&#8221; date on the review, so you can see how fresh the terms we quote actually are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Licence suspensions or revocations<\/strong> trigger a published update within 48 hours. We cut the Licensing and Safety sub-score to reflect the change and recalculate the headline number. Because that category carries the single largest weight, a licensing failure drags the whole score down fast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Scores are never for sale<\/h2>\n<p>This is the line we will not cross. A Jackpot Score is never sold, traded, or adjusted for commercial reasons. No operator, advertiser, or affiliate partner can pay to raise a number, remove a criticism, or buy a &#8220;top rated&#8221; label.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Commercial relationships fund the site. They never touch the score. If we earn a commission when a reader signs up with an operator, that is disclosed and it changes nothing about how that operator is rated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"jackpot-watch\">Jackpot Watch: how the live board is sourced<\/h2>\n<p>Jackpot Watch is our curated board of live progressive jackpots, published on the <a href=\"\/jackpots\/\">jackpots<\/a> page and refreshed on a documented cadence, by default every six hours. It exists to show real, current jackpot totals, which means the sourcing rules are strict. We publish a total only when we can stand it up in one of three ways, in this order of preference:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a direct data-share from the operator or its affiliate feed;<\/li>\n<li>manual editorial verification against the operator&#8217;s own public jackpot page;<\/li>\n<li>a partner odds or casino-data API that licenses jackpot figures for redistribution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We never scrape jackpot data in violation of an operator&#8217;s terms, and we never invent a total to fill a gap. Every entry is tagged &#8220;Verified [time] via [source]&#8221; so you can see when and how it was confirmed. If an entry has not been refreshed within twice the cadence, which is twelve hours by default, it is flagged &#8220;Last confirmed [time] \u2014 may be outdated&#8221; until we can re-confirm it. At launch the board shows only the jackpots we can actually verify, even when that means listing fewer of them. There is no industry-wide &#8220;live jackpot feed&#8221; that covers every casino; anyone who claims otherwise is guessing.<\/p>\n<p>A high Jackpot Score means an operator is well run against our criteria. It is not a prediction that you will win, and nothing here is financial or gambling advice. All gambling carries a house edge, and over time the expected result of wagering is a loss. Treat any casino as entertainment you can afford to lose, keep it to over-18s only, and read our <a href=\"\/responsible-gambling\/\">responsible gambling<\/a> resources before you play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How the Bit Jackpot Score works: six weighted sub-scores, our evidence checklist, re-verification cadence, and why our ratings are never for sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51,"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14\/revisions\/51"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitjackpot.de.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
