What the marks mean

Pass

The platform clears the check on the first test and has the supporting documentation in a public place. There is no hidden step, no email-only dispute path, no surprise delay on payout.

Caution

The platform passes the check but one of the supporting signals is weak: payout is steady but slow, or the rule card is hidden behind an in-app link that does not appear on the public site. Read the check note before staking.

Avoid

The platform fails one of the checks outright: no public rule card, no grievance officer, payout times that stretch into days. The risk is documented and unaddressed.

How often we re-test

Every quarter. KYC, UPI and payout-speed checks rerun on each platform. The marks below were refreshed on 12 August 2026. They will change; bookmark this page rather than the marks.

Where this comes from

Marks are independent. Platforms cannot pay to change a verdict, and the desk does not run deposit tests on a stake that is not its own. Where a fact is unverified, the desk says so. Audit logs are kept and available on request.

Figures and rules on this page come from arithmetic on a fair six-faced die, public platform rule cards, and MeitY / PROG Act 2025 notifications. Where house rules differ, the platform's published rule card supersedes this page.
