Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of sidestepapp.com (referred to here as "Online Crypto Casinos", "we", "us" or "the site"). By browsing this site, reading our reviews, or clicking through to any operator we cover, you accept the terms set out below. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

What this site is — and isn't

Online Crypto Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource covering crypto casinos that accept US players. We publish rankings, reviews and educational content about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT, USDC, Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies as they relate to online gambling. We are not a casino, a payment processor, a wallet provider, a gambling operator, or a financial adviser. We do not accept deposits, place bets, or process withdrawals on behalf of any user. All gambling activity happens on the third-party sites we review, entirely outside of our control.

Editorial approach and affiliate relationships

Online Crypto Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a listed operator and signs up, deposits, or plays. This is how the site funds its research and stays free to use. Commission arrangements never determine how a site is ranked or scored — our editorial team assesses operators on the same criteria regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists. Where a limitation exists with an operator, we say so, even where that operator ranks highly. Full detail on how we arrive at our rankings sits alongside our reviews on the Best Crypto Casinos for US Players page.

Accuracy of information

We research each operator's supported coins, bonus terms, licensing status, and payout practices at the time of writing, and we update pages when we become aware of changes. That said, crypto casinos change their bonus terms, coin support, licensing, and country restrictions frequently and without notice. Details such as wagering requirements, welcome offers, withdrawal limits, and supported cryptocurrencies can shift after publication. Always confirm current terms directly with the operator before depositing or claiming any offer — treat everything on this site as a starting point for your own research, not a guarantee of what you'll find when you arrive.

We do not fabricate reviews, ratings, or user testimonials. Editorial ratings shown on this site reflect our own assessment against factors like coin support, game variety, payout speed, licensing and player feedback patterns we're aware of — they are not customer-review scores and should not be read as such.

Eligibility and legal status

You must be at least 18, or 21 where the operator or your state requires it, to use this site or follow links to any casino we cover. Nothing here is intended for, or should be accessed by, anyone under the applicable minimum age.

Crypto casinos referenced on this site are typically licensed offshore — in jurisdictions such as Curaçao or Anjouan — rather than by any US federal or state regulator. There is no federal legalization of online casino gambling in the US, and only a small number of states license regulated online casino play, none of it on a crypto basis. For most US readers, playing at an offshore crypto casino sits in a legal grey area rather than a clearly regulated one. Gambling laws vary by state, some states restrict or prohibit offshore online gambling outright, and it is your responsibility to check the law in your own state before playing anywhere. We do not advise readers on how to bypass state restrictions, geoblocks, or an operator's verification checks, and nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to do so.

Your responsibilities

By using this site, you agree that:

• You are responsible for verifying an operator's licensing, terms, and legality in your own state before signing up or depositing
• You understand that cryptocurrency values fluctuate, and that any crypto you deposit, hold, or win can lose value independently of your gambling results
• You will not hold Online Crypto Casinos liable for losses, disputes, delayed withdrawals, or account restrictions arising from your use of a third-party casino
• You are gambling with funds you can afford to lose, not funds set aside for essential expenses
• Any tax obligations arising from gambling winnings or crypto gains are your own responsibility — consult a qualified tax professional rather than relying on this site for tax guidance

Responsible gambling

Gambling carries a real risk of losing money, and that risk is compounded by crypto price volatility — a win can lose value before you cash it out, and a deposit can be worth less by the time you play it. We do not present gambling as a way to earn income or solve financial pressure, and nothing on this site should be read that way. If gambling stops being enjoyable, starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, or you find yourself chasing losses, free and confidential help is available through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Note that offshore crypto casinos generally don't offer the same self-exclusion tools, deposit limits or player protections as state-regulated US operators — build your own limits in before you start. Our Responsible Gambling page has more on setting limits and finding support.

No KYC and verification content

Some pages on this site discuss casinos that allow no-KYC or reduced-verification play. Where we cover this, it's presented as a feature relating to speed and privacy of play — not as a method for hiding income, avoiding tax obligations, or evading anti-money-laundering or sanctions checks. Operators may still require verification at certain thresholds or for withdrawals, regardless of how they're marketed. It remains your responsibility to comply with any applicable law, including tax reporting requirements, irrespective of an operator's verification policy.

Limitation of liability

Online Crypto Casinos provides information "as is" without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of this site or your dealings with any third-party operator listed here, including but not limited to gambling losses, crypto value fluctuations, account restrictions, delayed or denied withdrawals, or changes to bonus terms after publication.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our content, the operators we cover, or applicable law. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the site after changes are published counts as acceptance of the revised terms.
