Crypto casinos, with the register number attached

The catalogue

Eight crypto casino sites, ordered editorially. Beside each one: the licensing body, the register number that locates it, the number of settlement assets where the cashier states it, and the kinds of games the site runs.

Where an asset count is absent, the cashier's list was not read — that is a gap in what this site checked, not a short list at the operator.

This page is the long form: every entry, every field, nothing folded away. The short form — the same eight crypto casinos in Kenya with the market around them, the route a shilling takes and what the fields are worth — is the overview on the front page.

Ordering is editorial and no position on this page was sold, but every entry does lead to the same destination and that destination pays this site. How the site is paid, and what that does and does not buy is set out in one page rather than a line of small print.

What the licence line means

Two regulators appear in this catalogue and they are not interchangeable. Curaçao restructured its licensing under a gaming authority that now issues numbered entries; Anjouan issues its own, in a different format. Both produce a public record that can be searched, which is the entire reason the number is printed here rather than a vague "licensed and regulated".

Read in each regulator's register rather than in the operator's footer. A licence is a statement about a document, not a guarantee about conduct.

The cashier is the real difference between them

Game catalogues at these sites overlap heavily — the same studios supply most of them — so the catalogue size is a weak way to tell them apart. The cashier is not. A Kenyan player arrives holding whatever coin the exchange sold, and whether the casino settles in that asset decides whether anything is converted again on arrival.

"Not read" means exactly that: this site did not confirm the list, and will not print a number it did not see.

At a working rate of about KSh 129 to the dollar, the minimums these sites state in coin land in ordinary shilling territory — a $10 minimum is roughly KSh 1,290 — but the figure moves with the coin's price, so a minimum quoted in coin is not a fixed shilling amount.

The eight, one line each

What this catalogue refuses to publish

The reasoning behind each of those lines is on how each one is checked.
