Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys! Lately I have noticed a trend on one or two occasions and I am curious to ask for your opinion on this particular issue of casinos that do not have an ANN thread in this forum, where discussion on the progress and development of the casinos and also serve as a feedback mechanism to handle issues resulting from members' activities on their site.
I don't know if this topic has been discussed before, if it has, please point me to the thread where the topic has been discussed otherwise please leave your views here in the comment section.
Some of those casinos already hard a running signature campaigns in the forum but yet doesn't have an active ANN thread or a representative in the forum, so how do players deal with issues from the site, should we contact the campaign managers each time there is a problem from those casinos?

Having ANN thread of this forum is just a plus but its not really something necessary if they could able to hook up players and reach out via that common or basic support system.
When having issues as a user then you could just simply contact them via support and wait for their response.If they havent answered for long then try out to contact them via other
mediums like social media or their business email.Its not totally directing for people to look for ANN thread and post their problems or issues which it could be initially be done
via contacting them via support system.Its the main purpose on having these things on the first place.

Somehow having ANN thread sa a crypto business owner is something that be considered.It doesnt really plays out on some role but also
it does give out that impression which could possibly give out confidence into those potential players or the community itself.

That official thread for gambling site and their active official bitcointalk account do give moresense of comfort because it can be a good means to commmun with the casino and this forum is available to the public to know what is going on.

But there are other means to contact the gambling site, like through their customer care, and that does not still change the fact that some people can still come with posts about how the gambling site want to scam him or the issue they are facing.

But it is a plus for those gambling sites with official account and thread on this forum. I prefer to use them.

Players are more confident to play on casinos with active ANN threads in the forum.
Though it is not compulsory for the site to create one, but yes, it is a plus for them, as they reach out potential players.
Also, a lot of forum users are checking the threads or discussions first before sending their funds to these casinos.
Because a good feedback or review would encourage them to try the site. And with active support, that's indeed a plus.
There are other means of contacting them like their social media channels but if they have active rep in this forum, people are more confident that the site can help them in times of trouble.

They should create one because that’s the thread where we discussed topics about their site and that’s also where we raise our questions. Most of the gambling site today have their own ANN thread and its actively monitored by their own representative. If they still have no official thread, then a gambler can create one to ask other players from that site about their experiences and to discuss as well.

Well, I think @Hamphser has pretty much summarized everything, having an Ann thread on this forum is not completely necessary, though it builds some level of confidence in gamblers to know that their favorite casino has an Ann here, it also increases their trust for the casino in some very small level.

We all know that even if the casino have App on this forum, still the best way to reach out to a customer care of any casino is to contact them on their site, the Ann only acts as a secondary option when other means fails, and also, Ann threads help gamblers find solution to their problems fast since if the team or customer support isn't online at the time, other gamblers using that same casino can easily come up possible solutions to rectifying whatever the problem is.

It does not make them bad for not having an announcement here, Bitcointalk is an advertisement platform if they think that they don't want an announcement here or have no time to engage here then it's their decision and loss, I have not known a site without an announcement here but do have a signature campaign here can you give us at least one.
And on issues about the casino which launched or has an existing signature campaign here, they have a dedicated support use that supports first and exhausts its use before creating an accusation here, you can contact the manager as they have first-hand contact on these casinos, as it can help resolve the issue.

ANN thread gives more confidence to bitcointalk clients as it makes us feel special about the fact that even if the casino has live support on the site, we still have a representative on the forum who attend to members' complains and issues especially unlike support where cases are treated sometimes at a slower past since the support attends to all customers.
But if there is a representative of the casino that is active on the ANN thread, such cases will be handled expressly, that is just one among many other reasons why casinos have to have an ANN.thread here.

A crypto casino /or a gambling site must have an official presence here on the forum.
it is a way to advertise and also a way to collect feedback from users.
Especially for platforms of a certain size I think this is an essential step. Personally I avoid any site with no presence here on forum...

First there is a customer support button or link on the casino site.  If a player have some issue, he can always contact the customer support.  I do not think that it is necessary to contact the campaign manager because they are not a staff of the said casino.  They can assist you on the problem but isn't it a bit overboard since Campaign Manager is task to manage the campaign created in this forum and not responsible for any problems of a player on the casino except of course the participant's payment.

Having an Ann thread in the forum is an advantage especially if they run a signature campaign for marketing purpose.  But I don't have a say if the casino don't have any ANN thread in this forum.

Every casino is different from one other, some casinos are still doing great without an announcement here and some started small here and gain popularity by having an announcement and a signature campaign, it's their decision to promote or not promote their platform here but they lose a good market in Bitcointalk.
If they have issues and they have a signature campaign here, you can create a scam accusation for awareness if you are ignored by their support and also alarm them that they have an existing accusation here.

You got the point correctly, I have always been skeptical of a casino that does not have an ANN thread here in the forum as I don't 100% trust the judgment of the online support and I may prefer personal explanations towards issues.
I may not avoid casinos without ANN threads but I have more confidence in those that maintain their presence here, well we can also consider running a signature campaign as casinos presence since some of the participants will already have an experience with the site and can answer to some queries and help solve none technical problem from comments and contributions.

Yes I agree with you, moreover it's always a good thing to have an independent place with almost no censorship where feedbacks can be freely and anonymously(pseudonymously more precisely) posted. The sad thing is the amount of spam and spammers here, who flood those threads with garbage comments unfortunately.

A casino site must have an ANN thread. There are many casino sites that have some ANN threads, while there are many casino sites that do not have ANN threads. If there is an ANN thread then all information on that casino side can be collected from there and all your complaints can be filed there. But I think it's essential to have ANN threads in order to build casinosites.

If they don't have an announcement thread then there really is no discussion to be had. The platform may have never heard of Bitcointalk (which I find hard to believe) or may be a straight scam looking to stay under the radar. Hard to say, I'm sure there are many other reasons they haven't opened an announcement thread but I'm drawing a blank as it's 100% free to do so.

It's not that they are not worthy of my trust but I prefer to play on casinos with an announcement thread here and an existing campaign too, I consider casinos with announcements here easy to deal with when it comes to issues and being on an open platform they are open to challenge the credibility of their casinos that is why Casinos with the existing thread here are valued by the community because they are open to interaction, address issues about their casinos and the willingness to reach out to the gambling community.

If they don't have any ANN thread here, it made me think thrice because they can easily be a pop-up scam that will easily dissipate once a lot of alarm bells were rung. It gives a sense of security when casinos post their ANN here in this forum, even though it is not a requirement. A lot of people usually trust crypto casinos that have great visibility here in the forum rather than some random casino that says they have been in service for years and are padded up with paid reviews. Bitcointalk has been helpful in placing some great casinos in the map for us and I think if you don't see any ANN thread for a crypto casino present in here, just don't bother playing in there.

if they don't make ANN in this forum, of course there is no discussion available on this forum and gamblers in this forum also only play gambling sites that have ANN here because it will be more comfortable to play there with lots of recommendations from everyone in this forum , even when a problem occurs it is easier to report any errors on their site on their ANN , so if I think a casino site that does not have ANN should be avoided

When we do speak about crypto based casino or any other platforms which is related to crypto then its impossible that they would not heard off about this place or this forum considering about the origin of Bitcoin itself.

If they dont have ANN threads then it do really give out that lack of information which their users couldn't able to interact with plus its the best way on communicating users on this space.
Not all does have the interest on contacting on various ways but been focusing on finding ann thread this is why its really important but just like you said
it is really a free choice on doing so.If they dont feel or doesnt like then its up to them.

It's their loss, the gambling industry is a stiff business and casinos should find all the available platforms and venues where they can promote themselves, it's free to promote here all they need to be transparent and ready to engage.



I don't know of casinos with no active announcement here but with a signature campaign but I used to be on a signature campaign where they have an announcement but no updates on their representative here for a long time, I don't know why they prefer to just launch a campaign here with no announcement but they are losing potential players, because many players opted to play on casinos with announcements here.

Casinos who have ANN threads and with a representative here is is just plus, for a means of another options of contacts and support.
Many gamblers here considers casinos who doesn't have ANN here considers them as unknown, no reputation at all, as if bitcointalk is the foundation of all crypto casino which is really funny. I read it like in every thread who have an issue on such casino posting here.

Having an ANN here does not categorize casinos as reputable, known, huge userbase, and etc. Having an ANN here is just good way to express the community how the casinos can be flexible on their support which means they also accepts criticisms and hear the community whatever talks and suggestions the community may contribute.

I just remember a couple of years ago when the gambling site has bitcoin payments but doesn't have an Ann thread here. I've forgotten who contacted the CEO, but after that, the CEO immediately create the Ann Thread here, and after that, they run a signature campaign and success after that. In this case, this is a different bit, but the same case as Ann's thread.

IMO, sometimes is not many users interact with each other on the ann thread, but the casino is always crowded. you can see the example on the gambling board where the ann thread quiet poster but the casino has lots of traffic.

I only familiar with crypto gambling who have their own ANN thread here and have representative, so I think having a thread here is a good addition to their market exposure and they can attract more gamblers as they introduce their platform here in the forum. There are some site who are already in gambling industry for years and still not here in the forum, I guess they are still not familiar with this forum or just choose not to have one.

It's not a mandatory to have an official announcement thread for the site here. I meant those sites who have been making sign campaign in this forum has their own dedicated announcement thread for the discussion purpose only. it's also fine if sometime some sites didn't have announcement thread here. When someone was facing a problem with the site that doesn't have announcement thread and then he can just try to create a new thread in the scam accusation by mentioning enough proof and then im sure that even manager of sig campaign will be also paying attention to it but i do believe the most of sites have live chat for its users.

In my case I stay away from casinos like that, my reasoning is simple this is the best place where you can find information not only about casinos but about almost any service which deals with cryptocurrencies.

And while you can find information like this over the Internet, the source of the information cannot really be trusted at all as it is easy to manipulate the information outside the forum since no evidence is needed to back their claims, so I prefer to gamble only at casinos which have an ANN thread here and that are willing to accept the feedback of the community.

It's a plus point for a crypto casinos to have an ANN thread here. Because in their official thread we can raise questions and suggestions, interact to other gamblers who are playing on that particular site. And most importantly we can communicate to the owner/representative incase we experience a problem (aside from their on site support).

That's why many of us prefer to gamble in casinos who have existing ANN thread here, since we can also get feedback from other users about their experiences and become aware if it's a trusted or a shady casino.

Having an ANN thread in this forum is helpful for a gambling platform since there's a way for them to make any announcement, read issues, concerns, suggestions or shortly to communicate with their users and forum users as well. As said it is not a must, but it's a good addition for communication and announcement, this also brings confidence to people since it's one way to assure that there's a place where they can complain, or voice out any idea they have regarding the platform.

I think gambling sites should make an ANN thread on this forum. This forum has a dedicated section on the forum and many active gamblers post on this forum. Since making an ANN thread does not cost any money, gambling casinos should actively think about it. Also, they need to dedicate a person who will reply to the people's queries related to their gambling casino.
Once the ANN thread is established, the gambling site may try signature campaigns for additional marketing but that is not free but surely sites can gain customers if they go for signature campaigns.

I am also curious about what can be the point? They are not really interested in taking away the feedback from the members of bitcointalk while they want to promote it among them?

I don't really know which casino is of that kind but its really bad if they're not into having their customers view about the casino and what can be better at it and help to resolve the problem if there is any so people will get lot of trust when there is complete transparency in their actions.

BitcoinTalk is an advertising platform on the one hand and a discussion forum on the other.  Where a project is advertised and various discussions are held about that project.  But if any gambling site doesn't open their announcement thread here then it won't be a big problem.  But in that case they will have groups on telegram or discord to discuss about that casino publicly. However, in this case, they will be deprived of BitcoinTalk advertising. Which can be a negative point for them because this forum has a huge amount of potential gamblers if they don't open ANN of their projects here and they can lost those potential gamblers.

That's the thing, there are different effects of having an ANN thread on the forum on different crypto casinos out there. Some may get more users because of the forum while some are not and has already more than enough users and have just created an ANN Thread on the forum since their users are asking for it to gain more trust.

Also, in regard to signature campaigns, it is just one way of promoting or advertising your platform throughout the forum however it is not effective to all as some casinos prioritize promoting outside the forum, which is not wrong, but their targeted audience may not be focus to crypto users.

Having ANN thread in this forum is great but it is not a must. Having ANN thread alone is not enough, casino should have active official representative as well to communicate with forum users and players. Most crypto casinos aware about this forum, if they know that there is a good marketing chance in this forum then they will create their own ANN thread. If there are some casinos that do not create their ANN thread in this forum while they are aware about this forum, they must have their own reason why they do not do it. We do not know the reason and it will be just become speculation about the reason.

A casino doesn't have to have ANN thread here. Even those that have signature campaigns on the forum doesn't have to open an ANN thread. It is an advantage to us, of course, if a casino has an ANN thread here, but if it doesn't, then you'd have to go through their other official contact channels. All of them have it. They either have a live chat support or an official email or social media accounts.

Campaign managers don't necessarily know what's going on with the casinos whose promotion here they manage. They're normally not part of the casino team, so the most that they could do is to relay whatever concerns, recommendations, complaints, and others users here have to their contact. I guess it's better to just communicate directly with the official communication lines of the casinos.

Why do you need to ask the representative of the casino here while there is customer support available on most of the casino. The only advantage of having ANN thread here for me is when the casino cheat there player for not paying user profit so that the player will have a chance to prove himself and ask for the forum support to make the casino pay.

Besides that, I don't see why the ANN thread here is a must since there is a troll box in the casino that let you socialize with other players. Having an ANN thread is good but not a must imo.

Actually, it doesn't matter if they have a ANN thread here because they have other platforms that need to consider than here but the benefits of the ANN thread is having more convenient to us to give a feed back, and review if this is ideal to use and at the same time is we can reach out the representative easily seems like having an ANN thread makes a standard to us if this good to use or not.

It is not required.
But it is a part of a project's promotion and advertisement strategies especially in this industry wherein cryptos are the main mode of payment. It happened that this forum is known by cryptoinvestors which is also the reason for online casino owners to use this as one of their networking strategies;releasing ann threads, campaigns, contests and more; all aims to catch the attention of crypto users and to consider playing on their platform. Think of online casinos outside this forum which are still doing well. Not all people around the globe are aware on the existence of this forum right?
But surely they have communities on other platforms, having the same ideas as with this forum, but with different target population.

I think that it is their decision and their problem. It becomes difficult to gambler to make research, to get answers to his questions and leave feedback. They get problems with promote and new gamblers. I don`t ready to risk my money in some casino, that even doesn`t want to communicate with me. It doesn`t means that the casino is bad, but i would recommend it to someone.

Ann thread always helps to direct queries about a gambling site and to give out information like withdrawal amounts, deposits, and others that are important to users.
It's not like those who didn't create will be untrustworthy but those who did can quickly communicate with their customers if they have the special thread created for that discussion.
And that way, those looking for answers that had been asked before can just browse the thread and see if it was solved already, avoiding unnecessary questions that are being asked frequently and flooding the thread or their customer support line.

If these casinos are already established in the industry, I don't see a disadvantage if they don't want to create an announcement here, there are casino announcements that stopped posting updates about their casinos like 777 and Bitvest but they started here, they have their reasons why they do not want to introduce their casino here, and why they stopped updating their threads here, maybe they are already doing good using other platforms, besides Bitcointalk forum is not the only advertising forum where they can promote their casino.

Yes I think this is very good that they need to have Announcement thread that players can go into. Having the thread is good and if they don't have it means they are running away from something or hidding from the public to know what is happening from them as a direct source. ANN is not only to report non payment of winning but it also will get the information of good news from them to the public like promotion, addition of games and all will help to increase them in population of more players.

Some site have their own ANN thread here and guess what, the OP of that thread are no longer active and they even not make updates on that thread so I think this is not important especially if you are just going to abandon it once you already big a good name out of this forum. There might be advantage for the user here in the forum but it didn't affect the performance of the site, better if the site can make their name as one of the trusted site and for sure, they will come here with a great plan.

It is not a trend, it has exist long before now and I think that is one of the ways casinos get their loyal Bitcointalk players updated but Signature campaigns thread usually include them if there is anyone.
I've been following Rollbit since before I worked on their campaign, and I must say that there were certain activities going on in that thread that were never mentioned in their signature ads. Personally, if you are a one-person casino that is loyal to one, it is always a good idea to stick to their announcement thread to get updates and activities of the casino, as for example, the World Cup is coming up and many casinos have included some promotions on their threads but did not effect that on their signature, but my campaign Fortune Jack did with sweet bonus to be won.

for me personally if there is a gambling platform without having an ANN thread on this forum, I hesitate to go in there and start gambling. although gambling platforms are not required to have an ANN thread here, at least there is a party from gambling who is responsible for answering all complaints if one day a serious problem occurs.
and even though the gambling has already held a signature campaign here, it's impossible that every time we have a complaint about the platform we have to contact the campaign manager. because the campaign manager only carries out campaign duties from the company and cannot handle all the complaints that occur.
so for me if there is a gambling platform that does not have an ANN thread on this forum, it will make gamblers a little hesitant to gamble there or feel uncomfortable

to answer the title, I am neutral regarding trust or reputation but it would be better for them to have an ANN thread here in the forum if they have a running signature campaign.

would you mind mentioning which casino you're talking about?

by contacting their customer support. I don't think dragging the campaign manager on every issue someone experience is the right move to make.

I believe that if a gambling site has its own topic with announcements in this forum it makes it more transparent to customers because any emerging issue can be resolved in the public arena. Moreover, the profile of the representative of a gambling site can not only read the reviews of other users but also leave your own. For those who use the system of trust it is quite a strong tool to evaluate a gambling site.

So here you go, straight to the point what you said right some of the casinos that come here only pay managers to run 1-2 month, some others have campaigns and ANN threads.

Most managers are only hired for campaigns, but they are not directly involved with the casino site, after the contract ends the responsibility ends, meaning that it has nothing to do with the casino, so it's useless to contact the manager if there is a problem.

For that I have discussed it here.

In my quote above, it can be concluded, before making a bet at casino on this forum, it is highly recommended to look carefully at the reputation of the casino itself, before playing, in the quote above, of course there is a topic about trusted casinos, rates and avoidance, for me it is very important to see, in order to avoid problems.

Although, there are several casinos above that are trusted and accused for various reasons, but mostly I see mistakes from the users themselves, at least their representatives are here to solve the problem.
Conclusion: casino sites that have ANN threads are more important and prioritized to visit, than those without ANN threads.

I don't have any problem with them if they don't have it and they've became popular. But the better thing to do is to have an ann thread here if they want more visibility for an specific community where their niche is exact and targeted.

But since we've been here for a long time, we thought of those casinos that don't have an ann thread doesn't make sense. If they can't increase their online presence by having an ann thread to the bitcoin forum together with target customers which are the gamblers, they're losing their potential market here.

I'm not saying that they are not doing the right marketing but they are missing a lot, Bitcointalk has become the biggest and the number one forum for Crypto casinos I cannot think of another forum as popular as Bitcointalk, they may not see the benefit of creating a thread here but if they are a reputable casino they need to create an announcement here or they are afraid because they are scamming their players and they are not transparent.

I don't think that having Ann threads on this forum will matter a lot when it comes trusting a gambling platforms because surely mostly legitimate platforms don't have that and they preferred to focus on the internet to gain more attention as its easy and very effective way than making ANN threads. Anyways probably its a plus but for me it doesn't matter as long as i know that the platform is ok and 100 percent legit.

Having an ANN thread on this forum will add a positive trust rate from most users because most gamblers always check on Bitcointalk to have assurance of the legitimacy of a certain site. We all know that the ANN thread has a huge help for gamblers to see the legit casinos and those who shouldn't be trusted. However, there are also highly reputable casinos out of this forum who prefer doing their market on other platforms and creating their own community which I think is also a good strategy for them. It's just that having an ANN thread nowadays that scam casino sites are everywhere will add a plus rate on the site.

there are a lot of crypto gambling sites out there that don't have ANN threads on this forum but they have a small reputation. this forum is the best place for everyone to share information about a crypto gambling site, and crypto gambling sites that choose to join this forum have more value and also a good reputation, so don't be surprised if many crypto gambling sites are willing to spend a lot of money to campaign on this forum.

That's the thing, even if these gambling platform are legitimate and has a high trust rating score, not having an ANN thread on the forum could affect their trustworthiness as they are not being transparent to the community.

It's not required for casino to post any ANN thread to the forum however it is best if they do so even if they are not active on the forum.

I can understand a site prefers to deal with enquiries in-house and in private but its probably a positive overall to have open discussion of any larger site.   The smaller sites wont have spare staff to monitor a forum thread perhaps or might contest this particular forum is the automatic place for discussion particularly, especially recent operations or ones based away from BTC might not respect the origins of this site as requiring a presence.
  Most of us here would come to the same conclusion its better to have a thread because its free publicity and only a bad operation would especially fear discussion, I think a few operations take a while to decide that.

I don't think an ANN is a must for all the crypto casinos, but is the best way to introduce the casino to the crypto community. And for sure is the best way to get new costumers.

And it's important to have a thread to read the feedback from the customers because if the feedback is positive that will bring more customers.

A lot of casinos use the forum not only for promotion, they use it for customer support and to fix the problems that users can have with their accounts, that's the importance for casinos to have an account on this forum.

Some of the casinos did not have dedicated staff for replying messages and conversations on their announcement threads and if such a casino does not make such provision, it is better they don't open an announcement. It will be better than some casinos who open threa but no one replies questions issued in this announcement threads.
Any casinos that want to lunch an announcement thread should be fully ready for business and to answer questions.

A casino doesn't need a ANN thread here to operate but it would be a big plus for them if they have a ANN Thread here. Just by posting your ANN thread here can be equivalent to free marketing. All of the casino that I play has an ANN thread here and It's much easier to pick where to play especially if the casino has a reputation here. Though I'm still playing on a certain casino that is long gone here in the forum, It means their ANN is inactive but their service is still running. It got my loyalty and I don't have any issue with them. I haven't seen a signature campaign that has no ANN thread. The casino ANN thread is usually included inside the signature of those participants.

On the one hand, the spread of cryptocurrencies has long gone beyond this forum and many users do not even know about its existence, so this forum is not a "mandatory" place where this or that crypto project should be presented. On the other hand, it is natural that the members of the forum have more confidence in the projects presented here, which means that there is an additional feedback channel and there is confidence that the project will defend its reputation in an open discussion in case of problems.

Yes, many people don't know about this forum, but from time to time I notice posts from this forum on various social networks. Mostly it happens when it comes to Satoshi Nakamoto and his words are quoted.

Personally I trust more a casino which has its own thread here and positive feedback from users with good reputation than a casino which is advertised by some blogger having no experience in gambling.

I think that its not so very important whether or not a particular online gambling casino has or does not have an ANN, despite being a crypto-related business. It seems to be more important that their reputation does not become stained by having an open scam accusation on our scam accusation subforum. And if they do, then they should at least have the courtesy of creating an account just to talk to their community and explain themselves. Otherwise it makes it seem like they do not care about their players very much. Which to anyone, is a big red flag. ???

My opinion is that it is not completely necessary for a casino (o any kind of service) to have an ANN thread here in the forum. I assume it mostly depends on the approach people behind the casino have in terms of community management. They may have other review sites as priorities over Bitcointalk, for example. Perhaps (in the case or relatively small/new casinos) they do not have enough experience to realize the importance of public relations yet.

It is a personally thing, but I believe that an ANN makes me feel more welcomed to try a service, it must be because I participated around here often.

You can contact the customer support of each casino if you have a problem with that casino. But if the casino has an ANN thread or a representative on the forum, that would be much better because you can complain in that thread and I guess many people will pay attention to your problem. This will attract casino representatives to respond to problems that arise in their casino. And there is a possibility that the casino can quickly solve your problem because the other members will help you too. But if the casino doesn't have an ANN thread in this forum, it seems difficult to solve the problem but it also depends on the problem.

Thank you for raising this question- well, online casinos that do not have an ANN thread in this forum can be relatively tricky.

Remember that one of the ways that an online casino can establish their names on the market is by creating and developing trust among its users. This implies that a stable and convenient way of reaching their customer support, in cases of technical difficulties/problems, is the key in order to create their reputation. Of course, lack of an ANN in this forum does not totally mean that such casino can obtain this trust, but it can be relatively difficult.

Again, the more connection and communication that you can have with an online casino representative the better!

Yes it's true that having an ANN thread in the forum is a fulfilment but it is not necessary. But In my opinion every casinos which is related to Cryptocurrency they should have create ann thread for the communication with forum members. Even then there are good facilities to talk with the members inside the website but due to the lack of ANN Thread, sometimes that casino falls into the queue of ignore.

You are in the right direction with your contribution as there is no necessity for that and having an ANN thread is an optional thing, I am well aware of some reputable casinos that do not have an ANN thread in this forum but there are doing greatly well in the market.
But on a second note, ANN threads have helped to solve a lot of issues in this forum and I can remember some newbie's accounts coming in here to complain on the ANN thread to resolve and the effects have been positive.

I agree, asking the campaign manager to get involved should be the last resort since there are a lot of ways to get in contact with casinos.

That's the inevitable part though scam accusations will still appear later on as they slowly get popular and it's unfortunate that the gamblers can only hope for a response as there are times when some issues don't work out through the first few options(email, live support, etc).

I think the presence of the ANN title here is a positive situation for the betting site. If the betting site officials can answer the questions asked about the site in the title that opens, it would be very good for them. Because on gambling sites, people worry about whether I can easily withdraw my money whenever I want or whether I will be a victim. Here an ANN thread ends all worries.

The ANN thread creates more access and creates good means of communication between the player and the gambling site. If there’s no official thread, that would bring worries to the players and may even think that the gambling site alone may not be reliable. Although customer care service is present, but having an ANN thread is a lot way better since you can easily be assisted with your concerns not only from the site but also with your co players.

Having an official thread is one big important step that a gambling casino must have. Although it’s not compulsory, but it’s the only way that the players will be more comfortable to play and will never be worried if there are sudden problems that will arise, because they have high hopes that it will be easily resolved through the help of the people active in the ANN thread. The reason why most of the reputable casinos never fail to create an official thread of their own.

It is right in my case, I prefer to play on casinos that have active presence in the forum. Maybe, because I am a forum user, so I know what factors I need to check before sending any deposit to a casino. But some casinos are actively promoting outside the forum, hence, some newcomers are playing on them without knowing their reputation in this forum. Some crypto casinos built their reputation outside this forum, so it depends on how they operate their business to attract their patrons.

Probably the people behind wanted to get traction by having a signature campaign first. And besides, the people behind the casino is not familiar what a ANN thread is. Even some of the created one, but it doesn't look good or professional, because they have a newbie account and so images are not allowed.

But after several days on how to get on this one as per the feedback of community, sooner or later they will have a good design on their ANN. Another thing though, it's good to have a ANN thread, but if they are not that active on answering queries or doubts, then those ANN even if they have a good design, will be dead.

This is actually a bit odd. I look at the newest signature campaign and I noticed Marsbet still don't have an announcement thread. It's probably still "under construction".

Customer support should be the first to contact. Most casinos have live chat feature which make it convenient for any user to ask help. Last resort would be to open a topic here or other gambling discussion platforms if you still cannot settle things with the casino.

I personally think it isn't a must but an added advantage for casinos to have an ANN thread over here because it also shows how much transparency they're willing to show.
There are other means one can contact a casino eaither through their social media platforms, website or even live support which is only seen by the one making the contact.
I prefer using casinos with threads or representative in the forum because it will easier to communicate and also get support from co-players as well as letting people know when there is a red glad
Having a thread has alot of advantages especially if a casino is purely a crypto based casino if for nothing, then for transparency because it would also help to earn trust from players.

Contact their support. If they respond then good. If not, then give them time.

If still no response, bump their inactive ANN thread. If there's none, create a thread about your concern if it is really necessary now to do so.

But if I'm not mistaken, all casinos that run a signature campaign here have their own ANN thread. Did I miss one?

This makes sense.

It's much better to have ANN thread in the forum for quicker access and resolution of the problem. This could also serve as a form of engagement between the casino and the players. Having an active thread that contains the feedback of the players and inputs of curious members could possibly help them establish stronger connection among their existing players.

However, it's not really mandatory. It just provides a wider avenue to have the players' problems and concerns be tackled which could also provide an awareness to other people having the same concern as them. Fellow members can give opinions that could help the fellow members encountering a problem. The website can also gain potential players if it is seen that they have good customer service from the thread. It will just be the casino's discretion if they will put such to boost their reputation. Because having an accessible representative is a good quality which other might be looking for.

Having announcement thread on this forum is not a must nor is it an obligation that can make the casino more reliable, it's just that when the casino has an ANN Thread here, it means they have the intention to have more connections with forum members who can provide positive feedback because they have tried the casino.

I once participated in a signature campaign that didn't have an ANN Thread here and a problem arose in the signature campaign but the manager could handle it well, and if I'm not mistaken even now there are casinos that don't have an ANN Thread but hold a signature campaign because manage by a trusted manager I don't think it's problem.

Usually the manager will be responsible if there are accusations at the casino at least convey about the allegations.

There is no really an issue here mate because I think it is their right if they wanna have conversation with the community or not , though some sees this pointless but it is still a way to attract or gather players if they will have a ANN Thread here in bitcointalk.
and besides it is their Loss if they will not add such part here because though most of the thread have been spammed but this is a regular way of having advertising in one(if not the biggest) crypto community in the world and of course gamblers then.

My opinion, having an announcement thread makes the platform more trusted against the other Casinos that doesn't have announcement thread. Some form of discussion happening on the announcement thread keeps the thread bumped and this lets users about the existence of such a gambling platform. Maybe with which one can give a try while using his/her favourite ones.

Having a announcement thread is always good and adds value. Some find this to be a spam thread, but that isn't true. Because majority of the gambling sites have communication about the promotions and different events through the announcement thread.

For some, 'yes' it does not really matter but I think for the most of us here, it was really a big issue. Many times there is a casino review that we see and there are casinos listed there.

We often criticize them because we never saw those casinos in the forum but is really strange because who will never recognize bitcointalk when it was the number one bitcoin/crypto forum? If only those sites advertised their brand here then they can easily attain a massive traffic. Those crypto casinos who don't have ann threads in the forum can still gather users who are also not a bitcointalk member but for us here, we don't like to sign up on them.

For me it's a must, maybe those early casino's didn't need because the situation is very different then. But for the next batch of casinos that was born in 2020, they should have a good and aesthetic ANN thread because gamblers in those years are looking for casinos that are trusted. And having a good design that can attract gamblers, ANN is the first glimpse as what the casinos will be like. And so like Roobet, Duelbits and Rollbit, they become the front runner now because of their ANN threads in my opinion.

I haven't gambled in any casino (at least after got into cryptos) that doesn't have an ANN here but not because of a principle or something, but because I just learn about new casinos here, this is the place where I get to hear about them. If I somehow learned about a new casino by like some friend suggesting or something and not see the ANN here, I wouldn't mind that neither.

The reason is not like some sort of "if there is no ANN here then I won't gamble there!!" type of deal, I don't put bitcointalk to pedestal like that. I just don't look around for a brand new casino online everywhere, I only come here, which is why I can't learn about any other casino if they are not here neither.

It can become disturbing to keep contacting campaign managers for such issues. I think it is necessary that casino's have ANN threads here so they can get important feedback from here too. Having a casino ANN thread is an indication that our opinions and feedback here are valuable to them, and that gives a good feeling. An active casino ANN thread also will improve reliability people here have for them. Some people who promote campaigns from casino's here can because of a very active ANN thread refer the casinos to friends who are not in this forum , because of the feeling of assurance that an active ANN thread can provide.

I understand the point that some of us get to know about new casinos from the announcement threads in this forum as a first introduction and this has been the principle with many of us in the forum, we feel more comfortable playing on the casino that has an active ANN thread here and even if we want to try out some new one we look to see them build a good community base here in this forum before we trust them. But on other hand, it also looks as if not all gambling sites are aware of the existence of this forum and this has affected them from getting players from this forum.

As already suggested, your main option is to contact the casino's customer support team either via email or livechat. And next, all casinos have social media to interact with their customers and promote other things, it is also a great option for advanced options of customers to complain.

I don't recommend contacting the campaign manager because they are not the team, but if after a while you don't get any information from the team then maybe you should ask for help "only solutions".

Is there any chance that you can point out which casino sites are those mate? because as far as i know  , before the casino runs a signature campaign in this forum they are creating their ANN Thread or at least start a discussion in this forum , so please would you mind letting me find which are those?
and also it is not obligatory for a site that will try to use this platform to have ANN Thread but like what many says , this is a Plus factor to lure more players and engage in conversation with gamblers to prove their legitimacy.

That casino is not aware of this forum. Gamblers that have been in this forum for a long time really prefer the casino that has an Ann thread here, whether it is new or not, because it is easy to communicate with the developers or owners from here to fix issues. Also, we can get frequent updates or news from this, and most users of the website can easily have a conversation about the website in their Ann thread.

Maybe he saw that some people shared his casino site, but it was not accompanied by more detailed information, which confused him. But we already know that there have been many newly launched casino sites and each of those casinos already has an ANN thread to provide more detailed information about that site. And it is also very helpful for all of us because we can directly contact the representative from the casino if we have problems. And most of these casinos can get good ratings from all of us. Some of these can eventually become recommendations for people if they are confused about choosing a casino to play gambling.

I mean Bitconnect has an [ANN] thread on this forum, and it was the most obvious Ponzi scheme I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve worked in finance almost 20 years lol.  So nah I really don’t think it’s matters. People lie on here all the time so having a thread really doesn’t make me feel all that much better about any company.

It doesn't matter, sometimes people bring up the name of a certain casino we've never heard of just to ask a question. This is just a matter of marketing, the fact is that this forum does not have specific keywords related to gambling that can be found easily in search engines so many marketers might miss it. Or they prefer to publish ANN on a platform that makes it easy to handle customer disputes. By the way, they already have askgamblers who are oriented towards the gambling industry.

Indeed, it's such a hassle to contact directly the campaign managers for conflicts that will arise, most especially if the conflict is just a minor issue. It's a hassle on your part and on their end as well because they'll have to accommodate each person who will message them because there's no specific avenue for the players to reach out to. Hence, having an ANN thread will be beneficial on both players and managers because they can easily interact without invading the privacy of each other.

In addition, the members can also help their fellow members if ever they already encountered that kind of problem before. The members can also put up some insights and lay other perspectives in which the OP could seek to enlightened his mind. So, yes, it's much better to have an active ANN thread while it is not mandatory for them, it'll be so much better for having good communication with the issues at hand by some members of the community.

These are probably some specific topics on social networks, since I see that the average audience either does not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is or treats him as a mythical figure whose quotes are used rather in an ironic sense.
Gambling is always very risky, so it's really better to trust real people's reviews and reputation than advertising or "licenses" for example. Although recently I saw a crypto casino rating from some independent site and that rating correlated very strongly with what I see here on the forum - respected projects from here were in the top there.

Actually ANN design and copper membership didn't cost a lot, rather than rent an ads on popular site that will cost a lot, it's better if they just promote in this forum. If they have a well prepared ANN thread and run a long term signature campaign, they would become a big casino sooner or later. We already have so many casinos are success because of this forum, this mean Bitcointalk is really important for people who own casino.

Whenever you do make out crypto related searches then it is really that impossible that people wont be able to find up this place and its true that if you do dig deeper then you would be finding this place valuable.
I do agree that sites should really be having that ANN thread and its true that whenever i do see ann threads on what i do look for then it does really give out that kind of confidence
since you do know that you could really be able to see community real time reactions and experience towards a platform or service.Whenever you do have complaints or issues then you
could really post up and let the community know about it and this is why its really that recommendable on making one.

I think that with a well managed thread then there is a degree of credibility that it gives the company. You can see how they treat their customers, as it will often attract any complaints looking for a more direct answer and it gives you indicators of how the company runs - are they responsive, are they always pursuing new ideas, do they use it as a place to launch promotions or news. Not having a thread here could indicate that they have a bad history or have not been targeting this kind of audience, so you might have to do research elsewhere. Sometimes casinos / sportbooks here have multiple staff offering round the clock responses which can also indicate they are a bigger than average operation.

I don't use them but it's not because I don't trust them. It's really a simple thing. I'm a bitcoiner and a long time bitcointalker so I don't have time to be interested in other forms of gambling (fiat) and other casinos that aren't advertising here on this forum. It's like when you get some stores nearby and a new store pops up 50km from your home town. It would have to be giving stuff for free or with 80% discounts for you to be worth going there just to buy groceries. I like when things are convenient.

^Definitely right and they should, they should have an ANN thread here and actively support those concerns while they are new in this business field.
The reason could be, it is very easy for them to reach out when you have an issue, another factor is easy to spot when there is a new promotion on their casino. Everything could be done in a convenient way so probably the reason those gambling casinos are very popular until this day.
However, I noticed this, why gambling casinos stop active on this forum after years of their service, I mean there is no activity and their ANN thread already abandon.

Having an ANN thread will somehow guarantee us that whatever problem may arise, it will be quickly resolved because aside from the representative of the casino that will notice it, some experienced members will definitely offer some suggestions too on how to quickly resolve the problem. Otherwise, if there is no ANN thread, you will have to face your problem all by yourself and even don’t have any assurance if your problem will be quickly resolved by the casino manage or will give you hard time of waiting for the solution.

I only trust casinos that also have an active ANN thread here. This is the only one I use and have done well with it so far. It gives me the feeling that I have a contact person if there are any problems. Surely you can't just rely on it, but such casinos are still my first choice. I consider and rely on this forum as a good source of useful information about casinos.  :)

Having no ANN thread doesnt automatically means that they arent legit but it would be better if they have one on this forum itself and its true that it do really give out that
kind of guarantee that issues would get resolved once the forum representative will able to address out the problem directly into the team itself and made out fast or instant
solutions on whenever issues that might had faced on. It would be always preferable if we do see an ANN thread for whatever websites or services which
is attached to crypto.

If they are dealing with cryptos that's a red flag. On the other hand not everyone understand the importance of bitcointalk and unmoderated threads. If those casinos aren't hiding anythig it's in their interest to make an announcement thread here. I am trusting way more to casinos i can criticise or talk freely in their ann thread, and so does everyone else.

Personally i wouldn't gamble in any crypto casino without unmoderated ann thead in here.

for people on forums of course choosing a casino that has an ANN on the forum would be better. it's more convenient. Even though it is a new casino, it is worth considering if it has good marketing and community management.
a business will last if they think about its marketing and its community. if casinos make ads on forums, why not build their community on forums? isn't that also something strange and needs to be watched out for?

OP, don't rely too much on the campaign manager on the forums if you have a problem with the casino. yes maybe they can help, but it's not part of what they do. they only handle their campaign, and obviously, the campaign manager is not part of the casino team.

Not all casinos are purely crypto casinos. There are casinos that accept crypto payment, but they mainly focuses on fiat currency. Hence, you don't see them here. Almost all crypto casinos does have an announcement thread here. Why would they ignore the largest crypto currency forum to introduce their casino if they actually do care about their casino?
If they have users wearing signature, then there is already a representative of the casino here. You probably missed him.
