The formula

  • Fairness 25%8–10: seeds you can verify + full odds. 5–7: odds only. 0–4: neither, or removed.
  • Trust 20%Named company, licence, years running, Trustpilot volume and flags.
  • Payouts 20%Shipping, Steam withdrawals or buyback: speed, fees, complaint patterns.
  • Value 15%Sell-back rate, exchange fees, published RTP, entry prices.
  • Selection 10%How many boxes, cases or packs, across price points.
  • Experience 10%Speed, mobile, support, demo mode, extras.

Each criterion is 0–10. Overall = weighted average × 10, shown out of 100.
