DegenCity Review 2026: Is it legit? No KYC to withdraw, says its help center, but its terms disagree

DegenCity is a crypto casino and sportsbook licensed in Anjouan, and its license checks out at the register. Its own documents contradict each other in seven places, starting with whether you need KYC to withdraw. In its public feed, 42.01% of 719,520 settlements never show the wager behind the payout. Our real-money tests are coming soon.

DegenCity FAQ: what people ask, answered up front

  • Is DegenCity legit and safe?

    Yes, DegenCity is licensed in Anjouan. License ALSI-202601025-FI1 is on the regulator’s register under 3-102-939867 Limitada (checked Oct 4, 2026). Its own documents contradict each other in seven places.

    See the register entry →
  • Who owns DegenCity?

    DegenCity is owned and run by 3-102-939867 Limitada, a Costa Rican limited liability company whose name is its corporate number. It holds Anjouan license ALSI-202601025-FI1. DegenCity names no directors or beneficial owners.

    See the operator record →
  • Is DegenCity available in the US, the UK or Australia?

    No. All three are among the 37 territories in Terms §3.4, and the Anjouan license excludes them too. No game-provider block list is published, so even an allowed market can lose part of the catalog. That is DegenCity’s list, not legal advice.

    Open the Countries tab →
  • Can players in New Zealand use DegenCity?

    New Zealand isn’t blocked by name. It isn’t on the 37-territory list in Terms §3.4 or among the license’s 7 named exclusions. But §3.4 also bars anyone where online gambling is restricted or prohibited, and neither document says whether New Zealand counts.

    See the full list →
  • Does DegenCity require KYC?

    Yes, by its Terms, before a withdrawal (§5(b)). The help center says you can deposit, play and withdraw without it. Checks can come at registration or any time after, against no published threshold.

    See both readings →
  • How fast are DegenCity withdrawals?

    DegenCity’s help center says withdrawals are “usually processed instantly” and arrive within an hour. The Terms give no time, and our payout tests are coming soon. First, Terms §4.1 makes you wager every deposit once, not just bonus deposits.

    Open the Withdrawals tab →
  • What does a DegenCity rank get you?

    DegenCity publishes an XP band for 4 rank families and a rakeback rate for none. Nothing is published for the other 5. The help center never says what earns an XP, so no band converts into a wagering amount.

    See the rank ladder →
  • Does DegenCity have a promo or referral code?

    Only a referral code, and you can enter it at sign-up only. The welcome offer needs no code: a 7-day 10% cashback on net slot losses starts when you register, once you have made a deposit. Other promotions set their own WR, and Terms §6.2 gives no numbers.

    See the sign-up rules →
  • Is DegenCity’s stake concentrated in a few accounts?

    Yes. Of the 1,613 public keys that placed a visible wager, one placed 28.29% of all visible stake, ten placed 57.76% and fifty 73.81%.

    See the concentration curve →
  • Does the data show DegenCity’s RTP?

    No. The stake side of this feed is incomplete, so no feed-wide ratio exists, let alone a game’s RTP. Two bounded diagnostics come out at 13.61% and 183.31%, and neither is the true feed ratio.

    See where the line falls →
  • Does 183.31% mean DegenCity pays out more than it takes?

    No. It means the feed shows more payouts than wagers. 42.01% of settlements show no wager anywhere, and they carry 60.12% of every dollar paid. Taking out the 1,000 biggest linked plays only brings it to 130.44%.

    See the linkage evidence →
  • What games are played on DegenCity?

    The feed logged 1,705 titles across 45 provider codes in one week. 555 of them paid out without ever showing a wager, and whether a title shows one follows its provider integration, not the game.

    See the provider split →
  • How many players are in DegenCity’s bet feed?

    The feed can’t say. 2,258 account keys appear over seven days, and 325 of them showed up at least once in the source’s hidden mode. Those stay protected, so 20.07% of events appear only inside totals. A key is not a person.

    See who cannot be counted →
  • How do I complain to DegenCity if something goes wrong?

    Email support@degencity.com or use live chat in your account. DegenCity publishes no complaint deadline, response time or escalation step after that. The only forum any DegenCity document names is a Costa Rican court.

    See the missing rung →
  • What is still not checked in this DegenCity review?

    Only the hands-on tests are still open. Both halves of the review were researched by Oct 4, 2026. We haven’t opened an account, deposited, withdrawn, set a limit or filed a complaint yet, and those tests are coming soon.

    See what is still open →
  • Can DegenCity’s feed numbers be reproduced?

    Yes. A 168-hour window anchored to collection time holds 719,520 settlement envelopes and 209,566 deduplicated wagers. One wager was republished 18 times, which is why raw stake overstates by 3.24%.

    See the capture checks →

DegenCity at a glance

DegenCity is run by a Costa Rican company under an Anjouan license that the regulator’s public register confirms. It blocks 37 territories and publishes its KYC ladder, a full deposit table, a 1x wagering rule on every deposit, its rank thresholds and one responsible gambling control. Its own documents contradict each other in seven places.

Its public feed is a settlement tape. Payouts arrive in full, but wagers show up only sometimes.

DegenCity pros and cons

Pros

  • Anjouan license ALSI-202601025-FI1 valid on the regulator’s register, matching DegenCity’s footer and Terms
  • Names its operator: 3-102-939867 Limitada, a Costa Rican limited liability company
  • One rule for every deposit: wager it once (Terms §4.1), repeated by the help center
  • Deposit minimums published for all 6 deposit assets
  • XP thresholds published for 4 rank families, plus the full reward schedule

Cons

  • The help center says you can withdraw without KYC, but Terms §5(b) says you can’t
  • 42.01% of captured settlements show no wager, so no feed-wide ratio can be computed
  • No withdrawal fee, minimum or maximum published as a number
  • No rakeback percentage published, at any rank
  • Self-exclusion is the only documented responsible gambling tool, and two documents describe it differently
  • No ADR body named, though its Anjouan license requires one

What to check before you deposit at DegenCity

  1. 1Who operates DegenCity, and under what license?

    Verified

    3-102-939867 Limitada, a Costa Rican limited liability company, runs DegenCity under Anjouan license ALSI-202601025-FI1. The Anjouan register and the license validator both match DegenCity’s footer and Terms (checked Oct 4, 2026).

    What to do

    Check the register entry yourself. It is public, and it expires on January 14, 2027.

    See the evidence →
  2. 2Does DegenCity accept players where you live?

    37 territories blocked

    The Terms block 37 territories, and the Anjouan license adds Comoros plus every FATF-blacklisted and sanctioned country. No game-provider block list is published, so an allowed market can still lose part of the catalog.

    What to do

    Check the list and your local law before you sign up.

    See the evidence →
  3. 3What do DegenCity’s bet feed figures cover?

    30.29% of events show a wager

    DegenCity publishes settlements, not bets. 42.01% of captured events arrive with no wager anywhere in their play group, and they carry 60.12% of every dollar paid. So no complete stake figure exists.

    What to do

    Read every ratio here as the visible slice, not the casino.

    See the evidence →
  4. 4What does the public feed appear to pay back?

    183.31% of visible stake

    No casino survives paying that, so it shows the feed publishes payouts without their wagers. The same wagers give 13.61% on a narrower count, and neither figure is a game’s RTP.

    What to do

    Treat both numbers as facts about the feed, never about a payout.

Overall

7.6

Weighted from DegenCity’s own documents, its license record and its public feed. How we score

DegenCity restricted countries: where can’t you play?

Terms §3.4

DegenCity blocks 37 territories (Terms §3.4). Its Anjouan license excludes one more the Terms leave out, and neither document lists game-provider blocks.

DegenCity’s restricted list and the Anjouan license

The license adds Comoros, the union the licensing island belongs to. Six of the license’s seven named exclusions are on DegenCity’s list, and Comoros is the seventh.

  • Terms §3.4 (Jurisdiction): 37 territories. Six small European jurisdictions most lists skip are each named: Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
  • Anjouan license: 7 exclusions. Australia, Comoros, France, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom and USA, plus all FATF-blacklisted countries, all sanctioned jurisdictions, and any territory deemed excluded by the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority.
  • Game-provider blocks: None published. The capture carries 45 provider codes, and DegenCity publishes no studio-level block list, so a market the Terms allow can still lose part of the catalog.

Comoros missing from DegenCity’s list matters. An offshore licensee generally can’t serve the market that licensed it, so treat this license as an export permit, not home consumer protection. The license also excludes every FATF-blacklisted and sanctioned jurisdiction, which the Terms don’t list, so the real excluded map is wider than the Terms print. It is DegenCity’s list, not legal advice, and a country missing from it isn’t automatically allowed.

Where DegenCity players are, by the feed

The feed carries 13 display-currency codes, and NZD covers 67.91% of events. A display currency is an interface setting. It proves no wallet, deposit method, country or residence, and the feed carries no country, region, language or IP.

Who owns DegenCity, and is its license real?

Register checked

3-102-939867 Limitada, a Costa Rican limited liability company, runs DegenCity under Anjouan license ALSI-202601025-FI1. The Anjouan public register and the license validator, both checked on Oct 4, 2026, match DegenCity’s own footer and Terms on every field.

This gaming platform operates under License No. ALSI-202601025-FI1, issued by the Offshore Finance Authority of the State of Anjouan pursuant to the Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005.

The register prints a shorter form of the registered address than the Terms, which carry it with typos (“House Humber Hour Hundred”, “CeibaStreet”).

The register tells you who answers for the site and where. It doesn’t tell you which of two DegenCity documents applies to you, and they disagree in seven places.

Is degen.city DegenCity?

No. The live site, and the licensed one, is degencity.com. degen.city resolves, but every request returns “Application not found”.

DegenCity KYC: when does DegenCity ask for ID?

Documents disagree

DegenCity can ask for ID at registration or any time after. Its two document sets disagree on whether you need KYC before your first withdrawal.

Do you need KYC to withdraw from DegenCity?

Yes by the Terms, and no by the help center. Both documents were live on the same day, and this is the disagreement you hit at your first payout.

  • Help center: “In general, you can deposit, play, and withdraw without completing KYC verification.” Verification is presented as optional.
  • Terms §5(b): A precondition of withdrawal. “Required KYC has been successfully completed. Please note that delays in providing documents may result in withdrawal processing being paused until verification is finalised.”

The help center’s own withdrawal article asks for a verified email, not KYC, which backs the help center reading.

Can you have more than one DegenCity account?

No by the Terms, yes by the FAQ. Terms §2.3 allows one active account and treats any more as a breach. The FAQ says “Degencity users are allowed to have multiple accounts, as long as there is no suspicious activity.” A breach can cost you the account and its bonuses, so go by the Terms.

DegenCity KYC documents

Level 2 asks for a passport, national ID card (front and back) or driver’s license (front and back). The Terms ask for a different set: a government-issued ID, proof of address (a utility bill or bank statement) and payment-method details, plus identity, age, address and source of funds (Terms §2.2).

What the DegenCity feed shows about accounts

The feed says nothing about KYC. 2,258 account keys appear in the capture, and 325 of them (14.39%) showed up at least once in the source’s hidden mode. Those keys are protected everywhere and appear only inside totals. A key seen even once in hidden mode stays protected across the whole snapshot, and no raw name or source ID is published.

DegenCity withdrawals: what has to happen before you cash out?

1x on every deposit

You have to wager every deposit once before you can withdraw (Terms §4.1), bonus or not. In the feed, play was charged against 9 crypto balance rails.

DegenCity 1x deposit wagering

Terms §4.1 says so plainly, and the help center repeats it. It covers all deposits, sports bets included, not just promotional ones.

Wager the value of your deposit at the time it is credited at least once before requesting a withdrawal. A withdrawal requested before the deposit is fully wagered may be delayed or denied until it is.

(Terms §4.1)

No game weighting table is published, so no DegenCity page tells you whether a live-dealer hand and a slot spin clear the requirement at the same rate.

DegenCity’s Steam refund policy

The Refund Policy is written around Steam skin trading (“Virtual Game Units from Steam”, “Degencity’s bots process Steam trades almost immediately”). The Terms, dated the same day, disclaim any link to Valve or Steam and describe only fiat and crypto deposits. No Steam deposit rail appears in the help center or the cashier docs.

Before your first DegenCity withdrawal

Start small and test a withdrawal early. Check the fee and the minimum on the withdrawal screen before you confirm, because DegenCity publishes neither as a number.

DegenCity balance rails in the feed

The feed shows 9 crypto balance rails, and LTC has the most events at 30.83%. Each rail is a crypto balance whose bet and win figures arrive in dollars. The separate currency field is a display setting, and the feed has no native coin amounts.

A rail is the balance a bet was charged against in the game session, not a deposit method or withdrawal option. DegenCity’s cashier lists 6 depositable coins, which is a different list.

“With a wager” is the share of a rail’s settlements that showed the bet behind them. It runs from 51.87% to 88.00% across the rails, so no single ratio from this feed can stand in for the casino. One smaller rail is left out.

DegenCity ranks, rakeback, VIP and bonuses: what is a rank worth?

No rakeback rate published

DegenCity publishes no rakeback percentage at any rank. It does publish XP thresholds for the top four rank families and the full reward schedule. The feed stamps a rank on every settlement, 23 labels from Unranked up, and 5 account keys at the top of the ladder placed 27.06% of every visible wager.

DegenCity VIP ranks and XP

The help center gives XP bands for the top four families and nothing for Unranked, Chiplet, Ante, Shuffler and Dealer. It never says what earns an XP.

Each published family covers three numbered sub-tiers in the feed (Hustler I–III, Card Shark I–III, Pitboss I–III, Ace I–III), with one XP band per family. With five families unpublished, more than half the observed ladder has no stated requirement.

DegenCity bonus: a 7-day cashback

DegenCity’s one live promotion is a 7-day 10% cashback. If your first seven days after registering end in a net loss on slots, it credits 10% of that loss automatically, with no code. You need at least one deposit, only slot spins count, live casino, game shows and bonus buys are left out, and a spin counts for at most $5. The offer states no WR on the credit.

How to claim DegenCity weekly and monthly rewards

At release time, a claim link goes out on DegenCity’s social channels, such as Telegram, and opens the reward pop-up on the site. Before release, the button reads “Join Telegram to claim”. After release, it reads “Available”.

DegenCity says you don’t need a Telegram account and the link works in any browser. But the link is only posted in its social channels, so you have to find it there.

DegenCity rank labels in the feed

The feed shows 23 rank labels, from Unranked to Ace III, and 1 with no captured activity. This is the order the generator recorded from the feed, not a tier table from a DegenCity page. It may be incomplete, and it says nothing about what any rung requires or pays.

High rollers at the top of the DegenCity ladder

The 5 account keys at the top three active ranks placed 27.06% of every wager the feed could see. The tier counts up to the three highest ranks with observed wagers, and empty labels aren’t merged in.

Stake goes to the rank a wager showed when first seen. A republished wager can show a newer rank, so it may not be the rank at the moment of the bet.

DegenCity games: what gets played?

From the bet feed

The feed logged 1,705 titles from 45 provider codes in one week, and 555 of them paid out without ever showing a wager. That is one week of play, not a catalog, and no proof that any title is available where you are.

Why DegenCity payouts show no wager

Whether a payout shows its wager works almost like a provider setting. 87.82% of pgp plays showed one, against 1.60% of orgam plays. Some integrations publish the bet with the settlement, and some publish only the settlement.

That is the clearest explanation for the incomplete stake in this feed. orgam alone carries 11.27% of captured events and 11.45% of payout while showing a wager on 1.60% of its plays.

Who makes DegenCity Originals

Origami Games does. The orgam code is DegenCity’s Originals lobby, and opening one of those games loads Hub88’s launcher, which hands it to Origami’s game host in a DegenCity theme. The game pages credit the studio as “Degencity”, so the Originals are a branded supplier product, not games DegenCity built.

DegenCity titles with enough data

Only 57 titles carry enough visible wagers to compute anything. A title qualifies with at least 250 unique wagers and $5,000 of visible stake. What it carries is a linked-play diagnostic, not a game’s RTP.

Of the 57 qualifying titles, 2 land below break-even (the lowest, Wisdom of Athena 1000, returns 95.62%). The other 55 all return more than the stake they revealed. That is the 183.31% headline effect, title by title. A play group counts all its captured payouts but only the stake it revealed. A list where 55 of 57 entries beat the house is measuring how much stake is visible, so reading the top row as “the loosest game on the site” would get the number backward.

These are the 8 codes with the most captured events, and 37 more appear in the capture. One code carries 84.74% of all visible stake, so almost everything said here about wagers is really about the integrations that publish them.

What responsible gambling tools does DegenCity offer?

One tool, two versions

Self-exclusion is the only responsible gambling tool DegenCity documents. No deposit limit, loss limit, wager limit, time-out or reality check appears in its Terms, help center or Responsible Gambling page. The two pages that cover self-exclusion also describe it differently.

DegenCity deposit limits

No DegenCity page explains deposit limits, but Terms §10 bans “Attempting to bypass self-exclusion, deposit limits, or other responsible gambling tools”. So the Terms treat deposit limits as real, while no page says how to set one, for how long, or how fast it can be lifted.

Anjouan’s self-exclusion form

DegenCity’s license seal page carries the regulator’s own self-exclusion form, with set periods. You can pick a 2-day or 1-week cool-off, 1 to 6 months, 1 year or permanent. Anjouan shares that list only with operators on its platform. Open the regulator’s self-exclusion form

DegenCity stake concentration

One account key placed 28.29% of all visible stake, and ten placed 57.76%. That is across the 1,613 public account keys that placed at least one visible wager, with $2,534,554 of stake between them. A key is a source ID, not a person. One person can hold several, and one key can be shared or automated.

High rollers in the DegenCity feed

Fewer than 3% of the account keys placed 52.88% of the visible stake. This high-stakes cohort is our math over the capture, not a DegenCity tab, badge or VIP tier. A key qualifies with at least five wagers at or above the capture’s P99 stake, and protected keys stay aggregate-only. We publish no win or loss figure for them, because the feed is too incomplete to show how a cohort did.

Self-exclusion: the Terms vs the Responsible Gambling page

QuestionTermsResponsible Gambling page
How you request itEmail support@degencity.com, any timeLog in, open “Live support” and write that you want to self-exclude
Your account and balanceLocked for the period, and you “will not be able to access or reopen your Account under any circumstances”Deposits, promo codes, tips and play restricted, “although you can still withdraw your funds normally”

One document sends you to email, the other to live chat, and neither mentions the other route. The Terms also say you can still ask support to withdraw your balance while excluded.

DegenCity complaints: what can you do if something goes wrong?

License condition unmet

Email support first. After that, the only route is a Costa Rican court, with nothing in between. DegenCity’s Anjouan license requires access to an ADR service, and no DegenCity document names one.

DegenCity complaints policy

The site’s own code declares a route for a complaints policy that was never published.

Who settles a disputed DegenCity bet

DegenCity does. A game that malfunctions lets it “cancel and revert affected bets, rounds, and winnings” (Terms §9), and its sportsbook team investigates sports disputes and can hold a withdrawal for up to 31 days while it does. The Terms carry no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver.

A privacy contact on another domain

DegenCity’s privacy policy names support@bethype.com as its contact for privacy questions, while its own §9 sends data requests to support@degencity.com. Use the DegenCity address.

The Anjouan complaint route

Anjouan says you complain to the operator first, “via the operator’s license validator page”. The operator then has 30 days to resolve it. After that, you can go to an approved ADR provider at the operator’s cost. DegenCity’s validator page lists support@degencity.com and carries the regulator’s “Submit a Complaint” form, for license breaches. Payout and account disputes go to DegenCity first. Open the regulator’s complaint form

Keep records for a DegenCity dispute

With no dispute body to escalate to, keep your own records from the first deposit: transaction hashes, timestamps, screenshots and every message you send or receive.

Can our bet data help in a DegenCity dispute?

No, not for one account. Only 30.29% of the 719,520 captured events show the wager behind a payout, and 20.07% of events belong to protected accounts that appear only inside totals. Every identity in this snapshot is a synthetic alias, so nobody can rebuild one account’s week from it.

What public DegenCity bet data did we analyze?

We analyzed 719,520 settlements from 168 hours of DegenCity’s public feed, and 217,925 of them carry the wager behind them. That is enough to describe the feed precisely, but not enough for a feed-wide ratio.

What the DegenCity feed publishes

719,520 settlements paid $14,149,588, and only 30.29% show the wager behind them. DegenCity publishes settlements, not bets. Each row is a source “win” message (the name of the message type, not a result), and the wager sits inside some messages and not others.

So payout is known for the whole tape, and stake only where a wager shows. We never divide one by the other.

DegenCity settlements with no wager

42.01% of settlements have no wager anywhere in their play group, and they carry 60.12% of every dollar paid. Every row lands in exactly one of the three layers in the table, and rows and payouts are checked to add back up to the capture. The third row is the size of the hole, $8.5M of payout whose stake nobody outside DegenCity can see.

Why the DegenCity ratio tops 100%

Where a wager shows, payout comes to 183.31% of it. That is not a game’s RTP, and DegenCity doesn’t pay 183%, because the visible tape is selected. No casino survives returning more than it takes.

These plays were credited with payouts whose wagers never appeared. 199,323 of the 417,248 settlements inside them came with no bet attached. Nothing in the payload says whether they were stake-free continuations or separate plays whose wagers the feed didn’t show. There is no free-spin flag to settle it, so we don’t assume the generous reading.

Either way the stake is short, so don’t read 183.31% as a return to players.

  • Diagnostic one · the narrow view: 13.61%. Payout on the 217,925 settlements that carried their own wager, over $3.1M of deduplicated stake. It looks terrible for players and is just as wrong, because it drops every continuation payout from the same play.
  • Diagnostic two · the wide view: 183.31%. The same stake, with every captured settlement in those 209,522 play groups counted ($5.6M). It looks impossible for the house, and it is, because play groups that never showed a wager are left out of the stake entirely.

How the biggest plays move the DegenCity ratio

Take out the 1,000 biggest linked plays (0.48%) and 183.31% becomes 130.44%, still above break-even. Each cut removes whole play groups, stake and every payout, and recomputes. If a few jackpots explained the ratio, it would drop below 100% here. It doesn’t, which points to missing stake rather than a fat tail.

This is a stress test, not a corrected figure, because the removed plays happened.

53.17% of all play groups (259,221) are a single settlement row, and only 5,525 of those rows carry a wager. Together they hold 58.98% of captured payout. A settlement with no wager isn’t a zero-stake bet, a free spin or a bonus round. The payload has no free-spin flag, so the stake behind it just isn’t published.

Our score

Is DegenCity legit? Yes, licensed in Anjouan, but its documents contradict each other in seven places

Start small, check the KYC rule before your first withdrawal, and don’t read the feed as a guide to what play costs.

  • Data behind this review: 719,520 settlements. 487,494 source play groups over 168 hours, reconciled row by row.
  • Main finding: 42.01% show no wager. They carry 60.12% of the money paid, so no feed-wide ratio can be computed.
  • What the visible slice returns: 183.31%. Above break-even because the stake is incomplete. Still 130.44% without its 1,000 biggest plays.
  • Main concern: Seven documented contradictions. KYC before a withdrawal, fiat withdrawals, multiple accounts, the self-exclusion route and its effect, the confirmation table, and a refund policy written for Steam trading.

What is still open at DegenCity

Two chapters stay open, because only moving money or filing a complaint can close them.

  • Payments: Does the cashier behave the way the documents say? 4 open checks.
  • Complaints: Does a DegenCity complaint reach anybody? 4 open checks.

DegenCity’s public feed logged 719,520 settlements across 1,705 titles and 9 balance rails, with $3.1M of deduplicated stake. Ten account keys placed 57.76% of that stake.

Who is DegenCity best for, and who should skip it?

Best for
  • Crypto players in a supported country. The help center says payouts arrive within an hour, and the withdrawal fee shows before you confirm. Each deposit needs just one playthrough (Terms §4.1).
  • High rollers switching casinos. Email a screen recording of your tier and total wagered, and DegenCity reviews the VIP transfer within 48 hours and picks the matching tier. VIP host eligibility starts at Card Shark.
  • Players who want a big catalog. 1,705 titles showed up in one week of the public feed.
Skip it if
  • You want to cash out without KYC. The help center says you can, but Terms §5(b) makes completed KYC a condition of withdrawing.
  • You live in one of the 37 blocked territories. The US, the UK, Australia, France, Spain and the Netherlands are on the list, and the license adds Comoros.
  • You want deposit limits. Self-exclusion is the only documented tool, and two DegenCity pages describe it differently.
  • You want a dispute route past the casino. Support comes first, then the courts of Costa Rica. No ADR body is named, though the Anjouan license requires one.
  • You want to know what rakeback pays. No rakeback percentage is published at any rank, and nothing says what earns XP.

About this DegenCity review

Written by

Alex Savelle

Founder and author, 0xCasinos

Alex Savelle runs 0xCasinos and writes everything on it. Since July 12, 2026, Alex has captured 210 million bets from the public feeds of 24 crypto casinos. Alex turns that data into the reviews, rankings and studies on this site.

When a review covers a casino’s rules, Alex reads its terms, help center and license record first. Every document behind a claim is linked, and a review built from the bet feed alone says so. The numbers come from the captured feeds. The casino rules come from the casino’s own documents, dated the day they were read.

Update history

  1. Documents re-read, and the privacy policy, the sportsbook rules and the Originals game frames read for the first time. DegenCity now runs one promotion, a 7-day 10% cashback on net slot losses. Its FAQ allows multiple accounts while Terms §2.3 forbids them, a seventh contradiction. The Originals are Origami Games titles served through Hub88, and the privacy policy names a contact on another brand’s domain. Another 30 questions we hadn’t checked are now answered from the Terms, the privacy policy and the help center.
  2. Data refreshed: every feed figure now recomputes from the Sep 16 to Sep 23, 2026 capture, 719,520 public settlement events over 168 hours, 42.01% of them with no wager shown. Operator chapters as read on Sep 9, 2026.
  3. Operator chapters added: restricted markets, operator and license, KYC, ranks and rewards, and responsible play. The cashier and complaints stay open, because reading can’t close them. One needs money moved, the other a complaint filed. The Anjouan license checks out in the regulator’s public register, and two DegenCity documents disagree in six places.
  4. First published, bet data only: a 168-hour capture of 495,422 public DegenCity settlement events, split into three money bases (captured payout, deduplicated parent stake and the linked play groups that join them), with no feed-wide ratio, because 49.11% of the tape showed no wager. The operator chapters were not researched yet, no DegenCity page had been opened, and each chapter said so.
