What legit means on this register

The register does not certify casinos, and this page gives no yes or no. An operator is checked against documents: the licence it names is looked up in the issuing authority's own register, its binding terms are retrieved and read, its KYC and withdrawal clauses are quoted, on-chain deposit figures are cited where a third party publishes them, and its marketing pages are compared with its terms for contradictions.

The one figure that combines the checks is the payout index, computed by a published formula that never sees a commercial relationship. Vave scores 9/100 from 2 of 5 components. 18 of 24 operators on the register have a licence found in the issuing register. 0 of 24 have had a withdrawal tested by this register.

What this page does not say

A licence found in a register shows the licence existed on the day the register was read. It does not show that the holder pays, or that the authority will act on a complaint.
