Casino Deposit Options Review Criteria
Our team evaluates each casino based on seven key criteria, resulting in a final rating that categorises the brand into one of three overall rating levels. Casino Deposit Options is one of them. Scroll down to learn how we review account funding methods and what points brands can get from Gamblizard.
Our Overall Rating
Rating 4–5 This category signifies varied casino deposit methods, excellent adherence to industry standards, and instant transaction times.
Rating 2–3 The casino’s deposit method range includes the most popular options. The transaction speed is standard in the industry, lasting no more than a couple of hours or being near instant.
Rating 1 These casinos have fewer possibilities for flexible depositing, and the waiting times are generally higher.
We attribute the ratings above to the Deposit Options adopted by the reviewed casino, having evaluated 4 pivotal factors. Each is defined by a range of percentages with a total weight of 100%. The weight of these factors is not tantamount, though – the consideration we put into each influences the overall impression, with the Range and Quantity of Methods being valued higher and the Disclosure Transparency and Processing Speed Compliance being valued lower.
You may consult them and the bearing they have on the final rating in the chart below:

[Isometric chart]
The final rating is calculated by the sum of criteria significance in per cent (S) multiplied by the respective criterion rate for each category, from 1 to 5, in whole numbers (CR). The arithmetic formula for the final assessment is, thus, as follows:
Σ (S × CR) = Final Rating
Ex: For deposit methods of an X casino with the next entry data:
| Criterion |
S |
CR |
| Range of Methods |

| Quantity of Methods |
30% |

| Disclosure Transparency |

| Crediting Speed |

the final rating calculation will be this:
(30% × 4) + (30% × 5) + (20% × 3) + (20% × 5) = 1.2 + 1.5 + 0.4 + 1 = Rating 4.1
