Methodology

How filings are made

Polycasino writes for players who keep their coins in a self-custody wallet and check a chart before they check a promo. Every filing carries one byline, Polycasino Sector Sheet: the name of the sheet's process, not of a person.

Filings are drafted with AI models. One that closes with a Data sources list was researched from the dashboards, explorers and documents named there, and every figure in it was checked against them. One without that list comes from an earlier process that ran no such check, and it stays up as filed.

A filing changed in substance shows an Updated date next to its filing date.

Where the numbers come from

Coin prices come from CoinGecko. Protocol TVL and Polygon DEX volume come from DefiLlama. The newsflow headlines come from public news feeds.

Each source is pulled once a day, so a figure on the sheet can trail the chain by up to a day. Prediction-market TVL is market data and says nothing about the funds a casino holds.

Briefs and long reads

A brief starts from one of the two panels only this sheet carries: prediction-market TVL or Polygon DEX volume. Newsflow filings sort the day's headlines. A long read explains a game, a rule or an operator and is filed under one or more sectors.

How operators are scored

Every operator in the matrix gets a Block Score out of 100 from 5 criteria. 4 are computed from fields the operator publishes. The last is the sheet's own mark, set per operator with a one-line reason drawn from the operator's own data. Weights: settlement 35%, analyst mark 25%, licence 15%, offer terms 15%, uptime 10%.

Some operator links on this site are affiliate links, and Polycasino can earn a commission when a reader signs up through one. Scores are editorial. The computed criteria use the same rule and the same fields for every operator.
