How We Rate Casinos and Sportsbooks at Blask

At Blask, our team of experts has tested and reviewed some of the industry’s leading sweepstakes casino sites. But for those reading these reviews, there’s an obvious question regarding how we actually score each platform.

We have a set of core principles that the entire team uses as the base of any sweepstakes casino review. If you keep reading, you’ll learn more about these scoring and ranking metrics, including a breakdown of how our trust, experience, player interest scores, and recommendation ranks work.

Core principles of Blask’s ratings

Blask uses a number of different scores to help you compare operators.

Each score looks at something different, so it’s worth viewing them together rather than treating one as the definitive answer.

Trust Score

Trust Score looks at how reliable and trustworthy an operator appears based on the information available to Blask.

It considers factors linked to reputation, transparency and reliability.

A high Trust Score is a positive signal, but it shouldn’t replace your own checks before using an operator.

Experience Score

Experience Score focuses on the quality of the overall user experience.

It looks beyond trust and considers how strong the product and experience appear to be.

That means an operator can score well for trust without necessarily having the strongest Experience Score, and vice versa.

Momentum

Momentum shows which operators are gaining or losing attention.

It reflects changes in visibility and interest, rather than the quality or trustworthiness of the operator.

A brand can therefore be rising quickly without having the highest Trust or Experience Score.

Recommendation Rank

Finally, we’ll provide a recommendation rank by ordering operators based on their overall relevance, user intent, availability, offer information, and editorial judgment.

The first operator shown will not always have the highest Trust or Experience Score.

How should I use the scores?

The scores are there to give you different ways of looking at an operator.

Use Trust Score to understand reliability, Experience Score to compare the overall experience, and Momentum to see which brands are currently gaining or losing attention.

Recommendation Rank is slightly different. It helps organise operators across Blask rather than acting as a rating in its own right.

Commercial relationships

Blask may have commercial relationships with some of the operators featured on the site.

These relationships do not determine an operator’s Trust Score or Experience Score.

Responsible gaming and why it’s important

If you read our sweepstakes crypto operator reviews — or any review for that matter — there’s one increasingly popular theme: responsible gaming. That’s because we strongly believe in the importance of encouraging responsible play here at Blask.

Before you visit any site, be sure to check it’s actually available in your state, which you can usually find in the terms and conditions. Also, consider using limit-setting tools, such as Gold Coin purchase limits, session limits, session reminders, or self-exclusions.
