No single score tells the whole story. A platform with low fees can still rank lower if its security or support is weak.
We check how a platform protects your account and your coins, including two-factor sign-in, and what it says about how funds are held.
We compare trading, deposit and withdrawal fees, spreads and limits, and how clearly they are shown before you confirm.
We look at which coins a platform supports and what you can do with them: buying, selling, storing, sending and staking.
We check the payment methods you can use to buy crypto, and how easily and quickly you can move money back out.
We check that the website and app are easy to use for a first purchase as well as for regular use.
We check how easy it is to reach support and how clearly the platform explains its own rules.
We check where a platform is available and what it asks for when you open an account.
We look up the fees for buying, selling, sending and withdrawing, and the limits that apply.
We check which coins are supported, what the platform lets you do with them, and whether its app is easy to use.
We look at the security options a platform offers and how it handles support requests.
We update a guide when fees, features or availability change.
We look for deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and support links that are easy to find. Free, confidential help is available online from Gambling Therapy and from support services in your own country.

No. Our checks decide the rating. A platform with unclear fees or weak security should not earn a top place because it pays a commission.
Not for every review. Where we have not used a feature ourselves, we rely on the platform's published fees and terms and say so.
When something that matters changes: fees, features, security or availability. Always check the platform's own terms before you sign up.
