Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of upwardhartford.com (referred to here as "Crypto Casinos", "we", "us" or "this site"). By browsing this site, reading our reviews, or clicking through to any operator we cover, you agree to the terms set out below. Please read them alongside our Responsible Gambling page, which carries important information about gambling safely.

What Crypto Casinos is — and what it isn't

Crypto Casinos is an independent comparison and review site covering crypto casinos available to US players. We publish rankings, write-ups, and comparison tables covering supported cryptocurrencies, bonuses, licensing, payout speed, and related topics — including, on our VPN Friendly Crypto Casinos for US Players page, sites that are accessible through a VPN.

We are not a casino, a payment processor, a gambling operator, or a regulator. We do not accept deposits, place wagers on your behalf, or hold custody of your funds or crypto. Every wager you place is with the third-party operator you choose, under that operator's own terms, not ours.

Editorial content and our ratings

The ratings, rankings, and write-ups on this site reflect our own research and editorial judgment. We assess publicly available information about each operator — including supported coins, licensing, stated bonus terms, game providers, and payout policies — and score sites against that research. Ratings can change as operators update their terms, coin support, or policies, so always confirm current details directly with the operator before you deposit.

We do not fabricate reviews, testimonials, or performance figures. Where we describe an operator's offer, wagering requirement, or payout limit, that figure comes from information supplied by or published about the operator at the time of writing, and it can change without notice.

Affiliate relationships and how we're funded

Crypto Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up, deposits, or plays. This is how independent review sites like ours are typically funded. Commission arrangements never determine an operator's position, rating, or the content of a review — a site is not ranked higher because it pays more, and we do not accept payment in exchange for a specific score or a favorable write-up.

Age and eligibility

This site, and the crypto casinos it covers, are intended for adults only. Depending on the operator and your state, the applicable minimum age is 18 or 21 — check the specific age requirement stated by any operator before signing up. This site is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under the applicable legal age. Age and identity verification requirements vary by operator; some apply standard KYC checks, others operate with reduced or no verification, and readers remain responsible for meeting any eligibility rules an operator imposes.

Legal status of offshore crypto casinos for US players

It's important to understand the legal landscape before you use any site covered here. Online casino gaming is legal and state-regulated in only a small number of US states, and those regulated operators generally do not run on cryptocurrency. The crypto casinos we review are, almost without exception, licensed offshore — typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao or Anjouan — rather than by any US federal or state regulator.

That means these operators sit in a legal grey area for US players: they are not illegal to use in the way we present them, but they are also not licensed or regulated the way a state-approved casino is, and player protections common to regulated markets (formal dispute resolution, mandated self-exclusion tools, guaranteed fund segregation) may not apply in the same way. Laws and restrictions vary by state, some states are more restrictive than others, and operators often self-exclude certain states in their own terms. You are responsible for checking your own state's laws and each operator's stated restrictions before playing. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and if you're unsure of your position, consult a qualified legal professional.

Crypto and financial risk

Playing with cryptocurrency carries risks beyond the gambling itself. Coin values fluctuate, sometimes sharply, between the time you deposit and the time you withdraw, which can change the real-world value of your balance regardless of game outcomes. On-chain transactions involve network fees and confirmation times that are outside any casino's or our control. You are solely responsible for managing your own wallets, private keys, and the security of your funds. We do not hold, transmit, or safeguard any crypto on your behalf, and we are not liable for losses caused by price movements, network issues, wallet errors, or operator-side problems.

US players are generally liable for tax on gambling winnings and may have separate tax obligations relating to crypto gains or disposals. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a qualified tax professional about your own situation.

No guarantee of outcomes

Nothing on this site should be read as a promise or implication that you will win, profit, or recover losses. Gambling involves a real risk of losing the money or crypto you stake, and no strategy, bonus, or "provably fair" mechanism removes that risk. We do not encourage gambling as a way to earn income or solve financial difficulty, and we do not encourage chasing losses or wagering more than you can comfortably afford to lose.

Responsible gambling

If gambling stops being enjoyable, or starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing, help is available. The National Problem Gambling Helpline can be reached at 1-800-GAMBLER. Note that offshore crypto casinos may not offer the same self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, or player protections that state-regulated US operators are required to provide, so it's worth checking what tools — if any — an operator makes available before you play. Our Responsible Gambling page has more on this.

VPN use and operator terms

Some operators we cover are accessible via a VPN, and we discuss this on our dedicated VPN Friendly Crypto Casinos for US Players page. Using a VPN does not change the legal grey-area status described above, and it does not override an operator's own terms of service, geoblocking rules, or verification requirements. We do not advise readers to falsify location, identity, or other details to bypass an operator's checks, state restrictions, or applicable sanctions or anti-money-laundering controls, and nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to do so.

Accuracy, changes, and no warranty

We take reasonable care to keep information accurate and current, and this page was last fact-checked on Sep 2, 2026. Even so, bonus terms, licensing, coin support, and payout policies at third-party operators change without notice, and we can't guarantee that every detail on this site reflects an operator's current terms at the moment you read it. Always verify current terms directly with the operator before depositing. This site, and all content on it, is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of this site or from your dealings with any operator listed on it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our affiliate relationships, or the regulatory landscape. The version published on this page at any given time is the one that applies. We recommend checking back periodically if you're a regular reader.
