About Us
Who Runs Bitcoin Gambling and Why This Site Exists
Bitcoin Gambling (cartagen.org) is an independent comparison and review site built specifically for US players who want to gamble online using cryptocurrency. We research, rank, and write honest assessments of offshore crypto casinos — covering the coins they accept, the games they offer, how fast they pay out, and whether they require identity verification — so readers can make informed decisions before they deposit a single satoshi.
Most US players arrive at crypto casinos because regulated domestic options either don't exist in their state or don't support crypto. That creates a real information gap: these sites operate offshore, their terms vary widely, and the legal picture is genuinely complex. Our job is to fill that gap with accurate, plainly written information — not to hype a sign-up bonus or push a quick click.
We do not operate any casino, accept any wagers, or hold player funds. Every gambling service mentioned on this site is provided by a third-party operator.
What We Actually Do
Our team researches each site we cover. That means reading licensing documentation, testing navigation, verifying coin support, mapping out bonus terms and wagering requirements, and cross-checking withdrawal conditions. We do not claim to have deposited at or played through every site we assess — we say "researched" and "reviewed" because that is what happened. We never fabricate testing activity or invent payout figures.
The sites ranked on Bitcoin Gambling — including LuckyRollers, BetPanda, CoinCasino, and others in our list — were selected and ordered through that research process. No operator can pay to improve its ranking. Where we earn commission through affiliate relationships, that is disclosed clearly below and never influences where a site appears in our rankings.
Our Ranking Criteria
- Cryptocurrency support — which coins are accepted for deposits and withdrawals, including BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC, and DOGE
- Anonymity and KYC policy — whether the site operates with no-KYC or light verification, and what triggers a document request
- Payout speed and limits — on-chain withdrawal times, minimum and maximum limits, and network fee handling
- Game range and software providers — slots, live dealer, crash games, provably fair titles, and the studios behind them
- Bonus terms — headline offer size alongside wagering requirements, time limits, and eligible games
- Licensing and regulatory standing — the jurisdiction that issued the licence (commonly Curaçao or Anjouan) and what that means in practice for a US player
- Security — two-factor authentication availability, fund segregation, and site transparency
- Support quality — responsiveness, live chat availability, and quality of responses
- Responsible gambling tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and whether links to help resources are prominent
Commission does not buy position. A site that pays us a higher affiliate rate does not rank above one that serves players better. Our editorial rating is the output of the criteria above, applied consistently across every site we cover.
Affiliate Disclosure
Bitcoin Gambling is supported by affiliate relationships with the casinos listed on this site. When a reader follows a link from our pages and registers or deposits at a casino, we may receive a commission from that operator at no additional cost to the player. This commercial relationship is how the site is funded.
It does not determine our rankings, ratings, or the content of our write-ups. Sites we have an affiliate relationship with are held to exactly the same assessment criteria as any other. If a site has a meaningful drawback, we say so — including for the top-ranked option on any page.
The Legal Grey Area — What We Are and Are Not Saying
The crypto casinos reviewed on Bitcoin Gambling are offshore operators, typically licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao or Anjouan. They are not licensed by any US federal regulator, and they are not the same as the state-regulated online casinos operating legally in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and a small number of other states.
Online casino gambling at offshore sites occupies a legal grey area for US players. Federal law does not explicitly criminalise individual players for placing bets at offshore sites, but state laws vary considerably, and some states are more explicitly restrictive than others. Certain operators also self-restrict access to particular states. We never state that a site is legal or available in a state where it is not, and we do not advise readers to circumvent geoblocks or site restrictions.
Every reader is responsible for checking the gambling laws in their own state before signing up at any site listed here. Nothing on Bitcoin Gambling constitutes legal advice. If you need a definitive answer about what is permitted where you live, consult a qualified attorney.
Similarly, US players are generally liable for tax on gambling winnings and may also face taxable events from cryptocurrency gains. We flag this as general information only — consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.
Our Position on Responsible Gambling
Gambling carries the risk of financial loss. Cryptocurrency gambling adds a second layer of risk: the value of coins you deposit can fall significantly before you withdraw, meaning you could lose money even without losing a bet. We do not present gambling as a reliable income source, and we do not encourage anyone to gamble with money they cannot afford to lose.
Offshore crypto casinos may not offer the same responsible gambling tools — deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, formal self-exclusion — as state-regulated operators. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, or if someone you know is struggling, contact the National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-GAMBLER (available 24/7). More guidance is available on our responsible gambling page.
Bitcoin Gambling does not target or market to anyone under 18, or under 21 where that is the applicable minimum. By using this site you confirm you meet the minimum age requirement in your jurisdiction.
Accuracy and Editorial Standards
We make every effort to keep information current and accurate. Casino offers, bonus terms, supported coins, and withdrawal conditions change frequently. We verify information at the point of research, and our pages carry a last-updated date. However, you should always confirm current terms directly with the casino before signing up or depositing.
We do not invent brand names, licence details, payout figures, game counts, customer review scores, or any other specific claim we cannot support. Where a detail is unavailable, we write around it rather than guessing. Editorial ratings on this site are our own assessments — they are not customer review aggregates and are never presented as such.
Only the operators listed in our ranked set are named, reviewed, or linked on this site. We do not introduce operators outside that set, and we do not reproduce wording from the casinos themselves or from competing comparison sites.

A Note on Crypto Price Risk
Playing at a crypto casino means your balance is denominated in a digital asset whose price can move sharply in either direction. A deposit worth $500 in BTC today may be worth considerably less — or more — by the time you withdraw, independent of anything that happens in the game. Stablecoins (USDT, USDC) are one way players manage this exposure, since their value is pegged to the US dollar, but they carry their own counterparty and smart-contract risks. We explain these trade-offs across our site so you can choose a deposit method that matches your risk tolerance.
