Ratings / How we rate
How we rate
Every score on Yasha Rates is an editorial score out of 10. Brands are ranked within their own market, because a UK casino and an offshore crypto casino play by different rules.
What goes into the score
Four factors, in order of weight. The licence comes first: a strong regulator outweighs any bonus or game count.
| Factor | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Licence and regulator | Who licenses the brand and how strong that regulator's player protection is. National regulators (UKGC, SRIJ, GGL) score highest, Kahnawake next, offshore licences such as Anjouan lowest. |
| Track record | How long the brand has traded and who runs it. |
| Games and products | Range of the casino lobby, live dealer, and whether sports betting is under the same account. |
| Payments and withdrawals | Deposit and withdrawal methods, minimums and how clearly the terms are written. |
Where the licence data comes from
Licence numbers are taken from the public registers of each regulator. Every rating row links to that register so you can check the licence yourself:
- UK: Gambling Commission public register
- Portugal: SRIJ licensed operators
- Germany: GGL whitelist
- Canada: Kahnawake Gaming Commission permit holders
- International: Anjouan licensing authority
Commercial relationships
We earn commission from many of the brands listed. That can influence which brands appear on the site and their order. It does not change the licence data we show, and we do not list brands without a licence.
