KYC policy distribution
According to Casino Catalog's October 2026 index, verification-free play is the norm in crypto gambling, not the exception: 4 casinos (19%) run no routine checks at any listed volume, 13 (62%) verify only above volume thresholds, and 4 (19%) require full verification.
| KYC model | Casinos | Share |
|---|---|---|
| No routine KYC | 4 | 19% |
| Threshold-triggered | 13 | 62% |
| Full KYC required | 4 | 19% |
Licensing
10 of 21 indexed casinos (48%) operate under a Curaçao license — still the largest single regime, but no longer a majority. 5 hold an Anjouan license, and 4 have no gaming license we could confirm. The2026 licensing report tracks who moved and when. The median founding year across the index is 2019 — a young industry where a decade of history is a genuine moat.
Bonus terms
Across the 17 welcome offers with a comparable multiplier, the median wagering requirement on deposit-match offers is 40x, and 8 offers are fully wager-free (rakeback, cashback, or wager-free spins). The gap between those two structures is the single biggest driver of real bonus value — thewagering guide quantifies it.

Frequently asked questions
Where does this data come from?+
Every statistic on this page is computed directly from the 21 casino fact-files in the Casino Catalog index — the same data that powers our rankings. Facts are compiled from operator terms and public records, dated, and re-verified on a 30-day cycle.
Can I cite these statistics?+
Yes, with attribution: "Casino Catalog, October 2026" and a link to this page. The dataset updates monthly, so include the date. If you need the underlying per-casino values, every number traces to a listing on this site with its own last-verified date.
Why only 21 casinos?+
Because the index is curated, not scraped. Every casino in it passed a license check, a terms read-through, and CC Index scoring. We add casinos as they clear that bar — a small verified dataset beats a large guessed one.
