Crypto casino graveyard — dead and dark operators

Graveyard

A survival score is only honest next to the operators that did not survive. This page holds the ones that closed, went quiet or stopped paying. They are excluded from the live ranking and keep their record here.

Why dead operators matter

Survival is worth 20 points of 100 on our grid, and it is the criterion most easily faked by a young operator with a large marketing budget. The only way to keep that number meaningful is to keep the failures visible: how long they ran, what they claimed while they ran, and what was left when they stopped. A dark operator scores zero on survival and leaves the ranking, but it keeps its other sub-scores as a record of what it looked like before it went.

Dark

DARK T4 Dark

45/100 Total

As of September 2026, Luck.io is closed. It was a Solana casino, marketed as fully on-chain and non-custodial, that ran for roughly a year before shutting down in April 2026 per industry reports, telling players to withdraw their funds. Reporting after the announcement questioned the "fully on-chain" framing — the settlement contracts were on Solana but randomness was described as coming from an off-chain source — and attributed the closure to unsustainable spending. We hold none of the underlying figures ourselves and reproduce none of them as verified. We list it here because a graveyard is the only honest counterweight to a survival score.

Cause

Shut down in April 2026 per industry reports, after roughly a year of operation. Players were told to withdraw their funds.

Risks

The site is closed. Do not send funds to it or to anything presenting itself as its successor.
Domains of dead casinos are frequently re-registered and used for phishing.
If you still hold a balance there, treat it as lost unless the operator provides a verifiable recovery path.

What we take from it

"Fully on-chain" is a claim until someone reads the programs. Settlement can be on-chain while the randomness that decides the outcome is not.
A one-year-old casino has no survival record, whatever its marketing budget suggests. That is why survival carries 20 points in our grid and why dark operators score zero on it.
Non-custodial play protects a wallet, not a business. When the operator stops, the product stops with it.
An orderly wind-down with a withdrawal notice is the best case for a closing casino, not the normal case.

What puts an operator here

The site has closed, or has stopped responding from more than one vantage point over a sustained period.
Withdrawals have stopped, or credible reports of unpaid balances have gone unanswered by the operator.
The operator has announced a shutdown, wind-down or migration that ends play at the original address.

A slow withdrawal, a bad month or a domain change is not enough. We move a row here when the operator has stopped being reachable as a business, and we say what our source is.

The operator is dark, so survival is set to 0.
