Is Bitstamp licensed in United Kingdom?

Bitstamp operates under a licence in United Kingdom (current licence status on record: active). A licence reflects regulatory standing only — the IndexFair score adds user-experience and operational signals on top, so a licensed brand can still hold a low score.

How fast does Bitstamp pay out?

We don't have enough payout-specific signal for Bitstamp yet to publish a Payouts score.

What are Bitstamp's weak points?

There isn't enough per-aspect signal for Bitstamp yet to single out a weakest dimension.

Why are some scores low but the brand is still licensed?

A UK Gambling Commission licence reflects regulatory standing — the operator meets statutory and conduct requirements. The IndexFair score additionally aggregates user-experience and operational signals (review aggregations, withdrawal-latency reports, payment-processor changes). A licensed brand can hold a low composite if those signals indicate quality issues that do not rise to a regulatory sanction. The methodology page details the per-block weights.

Where does Bitstamp's rating come from?

Bitstamp's score draws on 2 sources: app stores, public consumer-review aggregators, and the regulator register. Any one site is survey-biased, so signals are combined across sources with inverse-propensity correction. The per-source breakdown with weights is in the Sources section above and at /sources.

How often is Bitstamp's score updated?

Scores recompute on a scheduled cron at 03:00 UTC daily, plus outbox-driven recomputes when high-volume review data lands between scheduled runs. Every brand card displays the 'last recomputed' timestamp. Real-time updates are not offered — the daily cadence avoids over-weighting transient sentiment spikes and prevents single high-volume review days from displacing the longer-window picture. Methodology version changes themselves are dated at /changelog.

What is the confidence interval?

The ±0.x bracket alongside a score is a 95% confidence interval derived from sample variance and effective sample size after time-decay. A score of 8.4 ± 0.3 reads as: 95% confidence that the true value lies in 8.1–8.7 given current evidence. Wider intervals indicate small samples or high source divergence between aggregators, not lower brand quality.

Can I trust this if it's automated?

The composite score is computed by a published formula, not editorial judgement — so the same inputs always produce the same output, and the formula is auditable. Methodology versions are append-only at /changelog with effective dates. Disputes route through /privacy/contact; the methodology committee reviews factual disputes (licence status, regulator data). Aggregate review sentiment is not editable on a per-brand basis per source ToS.

Sources — what feeds this score

Why this matters: Single-source review sites read very differently from the composite. Selection bias — only the loudest users self-report — is corrected here by aggregating across several sources with inverse propensity weighting. The per-source breakdown below shows what each source contributed and how heavily it weighed in. Methodology v1.

Source	Signals	Filtered	Score	Weight	Last scrape	Domain
Google Play review aggregator	528	222	2.1	1.00	2026-06-08	play.google.com
Trustpilot review aggregator	141	9	1.0	0.70	2026-06-08	trustpilot.com

Per-source score mirrors the user-experience block on this source's signal slice; weight is set editorially per source. Em-dashes mean the source has no eligible signal yet — typically configured but not yet scraped.
