The OCC Trust Score is a composite 0\u2013100 score that reflects the observable trustworthiness of an online casino based on public signals. Higher scores indicate a stronger public reputation. A score of NULL means we are actively monitoring but do not yet have enough data to produce a reliable score.<\/p>\n
Reputation core (0\u201365 pts):<\/strong> A recency-weighted mean sentiment score derived from mentions on Reddit, AskGamblers, CasinoGuru, CasinoMeister, and Google News. Mentions from the last 7 days carry 3\u00d7 weight. Mentions from 8\u201330 days carry 1.5\u00d7 weight. Mentions from 31\u201390 days carry 1\u00d7 weight.<\/p>\n Licence quality penalty (0\u201310 pts):<\/strong> MGA and UKGC licences carry no penalty. Cura\u00e7ao carries \u22124 pts. Anjouan carries \u22125 pts. Unlicensed casinos carry \u221210 pts.<\/p>\n KYC friction penalty (0\u20136 pts):<\/strong> Derived from the volume of KYC-related complaints in verified mentions. High KYC friction: \u22126 pts. Medium: \u22123 pts. Low: 0 pts.<\/p>\n Withdrawal status penalty (0\u20138 pts):<\/strong> Derived from withdrawal-related mentions. Slow withdrawal reports: \u22128 pts. Mixed: \u22124 pts. Fast: 0 pts.<\/p>\n Streamer dependency penalty (0\u20135 pts):<\/strong> Casinos that are heavily reliant on a small number of high-profile streamers carry additional risk. Very high dependency: \u22125 pts.<\/p>\n On-chain volume bonus (0\u20135 pts):<\/strong> Casinos with verifiable on-chain deposit volume receive a small credibility bonus. $100M+ in 7-day deposits: +5 pts.<\/p>\n Bayesian shrinkage:<\/strong> Casinos with fewer than 200 data points have their score pulled toward the neutral prior of 50. This prevents false precision on casinos with limited signal coverage.<\/p>\n Every score carries a confidence level based on the number of data points in the last 90 days. High confidence: 500+ data points. Medium: 100\u2013499. Low: fewer than 100. Low confidence scores are displayed with a visible warning.<\/p>\n In exceptional circumstances \u2014 such as a regulatory action not yet captured by public signals \u2014 an admin override score can be applied. Every override is recorded in a permanent audit log with the reason, the user who applied it, and the date. Override scores are never applied for commercial reasons.<\/p>\n OCC earns commission from some casinos listed on this site. These commercial relationships have no effect on OCC Trust Scores. The scoring engine has no access to affiliate data. Casinos with OCC Trust Scores below 50 do not receive a play button regardless of affiliate relationship.<\/p>\n Signals are ingested from Reddit (OAuth2 API), Google News RSS, AskGamblers, CasinoGuru, and CasinoMeister. Every mention row in our database links directly to the original source. On-chain wallet data is sourced from public blockchain explorers.<\/p>\n Scores are updated weekly. The ingestion engine runs hourly. Score snapshots are stored permanently \u2014 every casino has a full score history going back to when monitoring began.<\/p>\n Current methodology version: 1.0. When the scoring formula changes, the methodology version increments. Every snapshot records which methodology version produced it, so score changes can always be attributed to either new signals or a methodology update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Confidence levels<\/h3>\n
