Editorial Policy
Where our data comes from, how scores are assigned and how mistakes are corrected.
Home / Editorial Policy
Research sources. Every figure in our rankings comes from the official website of the service concerned, or from an official document published by a bank or a regulator. Where a service publishes no figure, we write that it is not stated rather than estimating it. Claims we could not verify are marked as unconfirmed and never used to raise or lower a score.
Ranking methodology. Each option is assessed against six criteria: whether a Thai card or bank account is required, whether a visit to an office or a courier is needed, which inputs are accepted (roubles and USDT are scored separately), payout speed, minimum amount and Russian-language support. Scores run from 0 to 10 and are editorial judgements by our correspondent, not aggregated customer reviews. We publish no star ratings that imply customer feedback where none exists.
Fact-checking process. Before publication, each service's page is opened and the claim is matched to the wording on it. Bank fees are taken from the bank's own fee schedule, with the date it took effect. Every page shows when it was last updated, and figures older than that date are re-checked before the next update.
How we describe shortcomings. We state what a service does not do — that it does not accept roubles, or pays out only to a Thai bank account. We publish no accusations and do not call a company unreliable without a documented basis. The leader of a ranking carries its drawbacks in the same way as every other entry.
Links and disclosure. Every service in a ranking is linked to its official website with the same anchor text, in a new tab and without nofollow. This site carries no affiliate links and no sponsored placements, and placement in a ranking cannot be bought.
Corrections. Rates, fees, limits, opening hours and addresses change. If you find an inaccuracy, or represent a service listed here whose terms have changed, write to us through the contact page with a link to the page on your official site, and we will check the source and update ours.
