Here's how we turn raw on-chain data into the verified figures across this site. ## Public settlement is the foundation Every crypto-casino deposit and withdrawal is a transaction on a public blockchain. Anyone can read those transactions and the balances of the wallets involved — no permission from the operator needed. That single fact is what makes independent, verifiable casino data possible, unlike a traditional casino's private banking. ## Attributing wallets to operators The hard part is knowing which wallets belong to which casino. We map them only from evidence we can defend: public block-explorer name-tags, operator disclosures, and on-chain behaviour patterns. Wallets we detect as casino-like but cannot tie to a named brand are labelled "unattributed" and kept out of verified figures — never guessed into a brand. See our [attribution methodology](https://tekeldata.com/methodology/address-attribution). ## From raw flow to credible figures Raw volume is misleading: it double-counts casino-to-casino transfers and includes internal treasury churn. We count only external-facing flow (real deposits and withdrawals with players/exchanges) and exclude wash/treasury-churn operators, so a headline number reflects player activity rather than money cycling internally. Reserves are read across every chain we track and shown with a coverage level, never as a claimed figure. See the live [proof-of-reserves hub](https://tekeldata.com/proof-of-reserves). ## Wallet clustering in plain terms The core technique for finding an operator's full wallet set is common-input-ownership. When a transaction spends from several addresses at once, whoever signed it must control all of them — so those addresses almost certainly share one owner. Starting from a single known casino address (a public name-tag, or a deposit you made yourself), we expand outward through these co-spending links to map the cluster of hot and cold wallets the operator uses. It's a heuristic, not a proof — mixers, shared custodians and exchange wallets can blur it — which is exactly why we corroborate before attributing a cluster to a named brand and label anything uncertain as unattributed. ## Why we publish coverage and confidence Most trackers hand you a single number and imply certainty. We do the opposite: every figure carries a coverage level (how much of an operator's footprint we've mapped) and a confidence grade, because honest on-chain data has to admit what it doesn't know. A reserve figure at low coverage is a floor, not a total. A volume figure excludes flows we can't attribute. This is less tidy than a confident leaderboard, but it's the difference between data you can rely on and data that merely looks authoritative — and it's why we never feature an operator we can't stand behind. See [how we score confidence](https://tekeldata.com/methodology/data-confidence). ## The limits On-chain tracking is powerful but partial: wallet mapping is never 100% complete, an operator can use wallets we haven't found, and balances are a snapshot that can be funded temporarily. That's why we label coverage and confidence on everything and pair on-chain signals with third-party reputation data rather than treating any single number as the whole truth. See [how we score confidence](https://tekeldata.com/methodology/data-confidence). ## FAQ How can a site track a casino's deposits without its permission? Crypto casinos settle on public blockchains, so their transactions and wallet balances are readable by anyone. Once a casino's wallets are identified from public name-tags and on-chain behaviour, its deposit/withdrawal flow and reserves can be measured independently. Why is your volume lower than other sites? We count only external-facing flow (real deposits and withdrawals) and exclude casino-to-casino internal transfers, double-counts and wash/treasury churn. Raw throughput figures look much larger but overstate real player activity. How do you know which wallets belong to a casino? We start from a known address (a public block-explorer name-tag or a confirmed deposit) and expand via common-input-ownership — addresses co-spent in one transaction share an owner. It is a heuristic, so we corroborate before tying a cluster to a named brand and label uncertain ones as unattributed. Is on-chain casino data 100% accurate? No, and we don't claim it is. Wallet mapping is never complete, operators can use addresses we haven't found, and balances are snapshots. That is why every figure carries a coverage level and confidence grade, and why we pair on-chain signals with third-party reputation data rather than trusting any single number. See the [attribution methodology](https://tekeldata.com/methodology/address-attribution), [data-confidence scoring](https://tekeldata.com/methodology/data-confidence), [why on-chain data beats complaint boards](https://tekeldata.com/guide/why-on-chain-data-beats-complaint-boards), and the [proof-of-reserves hub](https://tekeldata.com/proof-of-reserves). Methodology & disclaimer. Figures are derived from on-chain transfers attributed to wallets we associate with each operator, plus third-party ratings shown with their source. Blockchain attribution carries inherent uncertainty, and reserves are an all-chain best-effort estimate from mapped wallets — coverage varies by operator. These pages describe observed activity and third-party data only; they are not an endorsement of any operator and not a statement on any operator's solvency, legality, fairness, or safety, and nothing here is financial, legal or investment advice.
