10 tips to identify a legitimate casino

[Mia Chloe]

From the beginning (before I joined the forum) I am not always bothered to check all this thing, as long as it's a popular casino or sport bet site, I would use it and am just happy that I haven't been scammed or my money being sized on any casino/sport bet site yet. However, these are a good tips that one should look forward to because they would help. Although presently I only use a casino in the forum because I believed that only the forum have a good review about casinos that are on the forum.

There are many things to consider before making your choice of preferred casino and one of them is popularity too. A casino that is popular also portrays that they have a good reputation to an extent and that is because if they have a bad reputation the reverse will be the case as people would talk bad about them and they will have more bad reviews compared to if they are good.

Another thing to consider is their customer support response and also how responsive their website or applications are. A poorly built application or website suggests that they are probably a scam to gather cash and disappear.

For new gamblers who want to choose a casino for continuous gambling, maybe they can pay attention to the reputation and popularity of the casino. That is the best and easiest way for all gamblers to do when choosing a casino.
But I also often create new casino accounts, especially those registered on the forum. Just to get experience from some of the casinos on the forum. Of course, new casinos, don't have popularity and maybe a newly built reputation.

Another thing to consider is their customer support response and also how responsive their website or applications are. A poorly built application or website suggests that they are probably a scam to gather cash and disappear.

Customer support is one that I will always access to ask a few things when I am going to register a new casino. I am most unhappy when support is not available or is only limited for a certain time. Even some ask customers to wait for a reply email that is received for hours

Yes, this can be the main recommendation by looking at reviews and testimonials from trusted people, most importantly, we must also be able to compare them by doing our own testimonials, because it could be that the person who gave the review or testimonial has collaborated with the site admin in order to attract the attention of many people.

This is the reason why I don't trust review places like TrustPilot since a company can just hire a group of shills and pay them to write something positive about their brand, which if you're not careful enough and follow up with that review, you might fall into the wrong hands.

For a community like this one (Bitcointalk), where we can publicly voice out what we feel about a brand, it will be hard for a casino to bribe and collaborate with a member to write something good about them, as those who have firsthand experience with the casino will definitely give their own honest opinion.

I think that many people might find this type of post helpful, and I believe it is worth discussing so that they can avoid falling into scam sites.

While a casino that meets all 10 criteria without any objection would be living in a perfect world since the general public will never be 100% satisfied, in my opinion, if a casino meets at least 7 of these, it could be considered a legitimate site.

These are all great examples and will give good indications of how honest a casino can be, but no method is impervious. As a newcomer you probably want to stick with the casino and bookmakers that have the biggest threads in this forum, as they've shown they will stick around for a long time while handling any mudslinging that comes with time. There are a few other more subtle hints that I look out for - the wider range that a gambling site offers, say casino and a sportbook, indicates that they have spent a while developing their platform with key features that take money to setup. I also look at "too good to be true" welcome offers, like deposit matching 500% or ridiculous amounts, but the play through criteria makes it almost impossible to unlock - that is a bad sign.

This is one of my priorities because often when navigating a new online casino, there might be features we aren’t as familiar with yet. So, if we are to make the most out of the casino questions should be raised and answered right immediately after.

Yea, some people finds the t&c very boring at first, but when they find their self not complying with the rules set by the casino, they beging to point fingers and end up going back to read what they hand misses. These things are very important so we shouldn't take them likely. For here on the forum, we have seen so many thread been raised by people who had issues with casino, but unfortunately for them, they failed to read the t&c before using their services. It's a very important part for playing on a casino.

User experience makes everyone go back to the casino.

And that's an over all package in there and for those that cannot stop themselves looking for, they'll have to find out and figure out what are some of those casinos that can give them good user experience that they can be satisfied with.

This is the reality, welcome to it and I think majority of us don't read that at all.

A good casino will never make an attempt trying to cheat gamblers or deprive a gambler in any form, we should all start from the rules and regulations including KYC requirements. Op is right, stating a clear rules and regulation is the top important thing every gambler should know although I have seen gamblers complain about a casino after using it severally probably they failed to read the rules secondly a casino without licenses, gambling becomes risky because no one knows what might happen next. Giving out review should be done freely like for example reviews about the casino doesn’t really matter especially when there’s no room for criticism so in such situation it takes luck to search for a good casino. I always look forward to an accountable casino, at least with good features I’m sure my funds are safe.

Knowing who are behind the existence of a launched casino in operation is very important, the aim, target and goal they have in place also go along with what they are likely to offer you, having a registration license does not end in proving their reputation, but we need to know the exact team who are behind the operations of a gambling casino and track their past projects to see how successful they have been, know about their consistency as well as have every other details of information needed about them, that is why a serious  gambler will always go after promoting and use of a reputable casino, we must see that we are fine with the checks made to verify for a legitimate one before going for any.

it’s not the casino itself that attract the player but gambling games however there are still casinos that are so good it may have generated some customers

we don’t maybe only specific parts that would be useful for us in the future

As a person who started playing online, I can say that it's so hard sometimes to understand whether the casino is good. Of course, there are a few popular and trustworthy ones, with many reviews and so on. So that you can know what to expect. But sometimes you come across something relatively new, and in such a situation, everything is different. I don't want to try my luck in such a way, so I just play in two casinos which you can hear often about
