Author profile

Rauf Aliyev writes the best crypto casinos Azerbaijan rating and the guides on this site. He lives in Baku and has spent years writing about payments, cards and crypto for readers in Azerbaijan.
Background
Rauf started out writing about everyday banking: card fees, international transfers and online payments. As more readers began asking how to pay online services with crypto, he moved to exchanges, P2P markets and stablecoins — and from there to crypto casinos, where the same questions about fees, limits and verification decide whether a player gets their money back.
He is a football fan who follows Qarabağ in Europe and never misses the Baku Formula 1 weekend, which is why the guides pay attention to sportsbooks as well as slots.
How Rauf works
- Terms first. Before a casino gets stars, he reads its terms for verification rules, withdrawal caps and restricted countries.
- Registers, not logos. Licence numbers are checked in the issuer's register, not taken from a footer badge.
- Real money only where stated. The site used its own money at two casinos — Vave, with a withdrawal paid without a document request, and TrustDice, to describe the steps. Everything else is marked as coming from documents.
- Monthly rereads. Coins, bonuses and licence statuses change; so do the stars.

Rauf's rules for playing with crypto
- Send a test deposit every time you use a new casino or network.
- Keep gambling money in a separate wallet from savings.
- Prepare documents before a big withdrawal, not after.
- Play without a bonus when you want to cash out quickly.
- Stop when the session budget is gone. No second deposit on the same evening.
Editorial independence
Rauf does not own shares in any casino and is not paid by casinos for ratings. The site's partnership with Vave is disclosed on every page where Vave appears and explained on about us.
