Boilerplate
The Bitranked Awards is an annual, global award program published by bitranked.com. Winners are chosen editorially from data-driven suggestions among the crypto casinos we review ourselves, across 5 categories. Each award covers a stated year, is issued to one recipient per category, and has a permanent verification page carrying the frozen figures, the criteria as they were run and the measurement period.
This text may be reproduced verbatim. Anything quoted from us keeps its year and category. See the press terms below.
Press contact
Write in English or Swedish. We answer method questions, share the underlying figures for a specific award and can confirm whether a badge in the wild is genuine.

About the program
The Bitranked Awards are annual crypto casino awards decided by our published review model: one vintage per year, each award naming its year.
What the awards are
Winners are drawn from the same weighted review data as every score on this site. No juries, no entries, no votes.
How to verify a claim
Every winner has a permanent verification URL showing the frozen scores, weights and measurement details behind the decision. A badge that does not link to a matching verification page is decoration.
What we never publish
No external platform scores anywhere in the awards, no paid placements, no sponsored categories. Player signals from external sources are a weighted input only, with source name and retrieval date disclosed.
Computed, not written
Quotable figures

The transparency statement
What we promise, and the receipt
No voting, no entry fee, no paid placement. No candidate can pay for the outcome.
We have commercial partnerships with most reviewed casinos; this does not influence ratings, opinions or outcomes.
The receipt: the rating spread in our own published reviews is public and verifiable. Several partner casinos hold low ratings. The spread is recalculated every year.
The receipt, in numbers
32 of the 33 casinos we review across our sites have an affiliate link with us. Across the same pool, internally weighted ratings span 2.3-4.7: 11 below 4.0, 3 below 3.5. See how we set ratings
Affiliate disclosure
Our sites earn commission when players sign up at casinos via our links. Awards, ratings and rankings are never part of any commercial agreement.
The award reflects our own review data: what we verified at the time of review. It is our assessment, not the whole truth about the market. We never make claims about what a casino does not offer.
The awards are decided among the casinos we review across our sites, not the whole market. Every verification page states how many qualified candidates the category was judged among.

Withdrawal policy and press terms
If an award is withdrawn
- An award covers a stated year. If a recipient no longer merits it, we pause or withdraw the award with a reason and a date. The verification page shows both and keeps answering.
- There is no replacement winner mid-year. A withdrawn award leaves the category without a holder for that year; the next vintage decides it anew.
- One published exception: an error on our side, corrected within 72 hours. The wrong award is marked as issued in error, the right winner is published in the same category, and the original verification page stays live and points to the correct holder.
- Verification pages are never deleted or redirected. A badge in the wild always resolves to the truth about its current status.
Press terms
Quotes must be unabridged. Year and category may not be omitted, and the three parts of the transparency statement may not be split or removed from a quote. Presenting the award as certified, approved, official or accredited is prohibited. Violations are handled through the award status on its verification page.

Data reports
Alongside the awards we publish data-driven reports on the crypto casino market: licensing, deposit costs, currency acceptance. They are written under our own byline and published when the data is ready; there is no fixed schedule.

What we can contribute
For a story on crypto casinos, payouts or the awards themselves, this is what we can put on the record.

Quoting us
We ask three things of any quote or reuse. They keep the claim honest in both directions.
Quotes may not be shortened in a way that changes their meaning, and a winner claim always carries its year and category.
Our transparency statement has three parts: how winners are decided, how we are funded, and the rating-spread receipt. They may be quoted only together, never split.
The program does not certify, approve or endorse casinos, and coverage should not paraphrase an award that way. An award is a year-stamped measurement claim, nothing more.
