[Opinion Needed] What do you want to see in a gambling site review?

[Baofeng]

Of course the number one criteria is that you should be unbiased. Because there is a practice that reviews  are created to make the sites looks good because they have been the websites to make a favorable reviews on them. Short of glorifying that websites and then those who read it believed that play in that casino and then get trap or being scam. And we need the review sites to keep updating because we all know that some sites will start to be so called 'provably fair', but later some gamblers are complaining that it is not.

They really need to be unbiased otherwise all those reviews are going to be useless for us gamblers. And I think one way to be an effective reviewer is to really try to play on that gambling platform. It's hard to make a review if you yourself haven't experience it. Very easy for you to write the pros and the cons. I have a feeling that those who write reviews didn't get the experience first hand and they just copy other reviewers.

Some screenshots of the games and notable features would be nice to see in reviews.There's not much interesting information to include other than daily stats similar to how dicesites track certain stats from popular casinos but that's going to take a lot of effort.

I have a feeling that those who write reviews didn't get the experience first hand and they just copy other reviewers.

I think the reason why some reviews might look like they're copied because they always mention the usual stuff we experience in casinos.

Also, if you can include if there are existing scam allegations or unresolved issues, along with the links discussing such outstanding issues. It will give the notion to players to check more of the site if they see there are existing issues and check the validity of the complaints.

Only have two things I need to see...
1st is transparency( there is no need to hide bad claims/feedbacks) and the 2nd is the team must be responsive. Being unbiased will fuel doubts and uncertainty that brought a negative impact on returns.

The review must be clear enough and all the pros and cos must be read for all the readers. Negative feedback is normal knowing that we all can't be perfect that is why we seek feedback in order to correct it and become acceptable. Actually, there is no need to hide if you are doing good and for the intention not to trick people. We know how hard to gain trust we are just telling lies even though it was already been cleared to see.

Honest review, but I don't think that will be easy to find because I think the gambling site review can copy-paste from another gambling review site. They don't need to try to play on that site just to check the site so they can do a review. People will know if the gambling site review can give an honest review to them or not because people can find the other info from the other sources. If the site doesn't use KYC and allows the gambler to withdraw their money even for just small money, I am okay with that.

What will you find truly useful in such a review?

If your service is enough professional and transparent then i don't think you need to care about reviews whether its in favor of you or not. Let your platform users give their reviews by their own where your honest service will cover all fake negative reviews. Just not only in gambling site but also in google playstore apps you will see that some idiots give fake and negative reviews but i don't think anyone gonna waste their time by reading their baseless comments on review section.

I won't say that every negative review is baseless where some users negative reviews are important which actually give you the opportunity to identify the weaker point of your project. After being notified by their reviews you can easily make the list of things which you have to implement in the next update.

1. The validity of the review is the first thing the user wants. We know many review websites (whatever they are) that now only thinking of their own benefits. Examples of ICO / IEO review websites that are no longer "neutral" in providing reviews.

2. UX and UI are the second factors that will be taken into consideration.

3. Does not need a lot of features, as long as the content provided is the truth, is enough.

4. Admin does not take advantage of giving a review or by pretending to give a positive review because the gambling owner pays. As @Yamifoud says, negative feedback is normal. No one business provider will always get positive feedback, so stay away from the paid review. You can make money in another way (if you want to build a review website).

5. Withdrawal process information (WD limit, KYC or anything related)

6. Accepted deposit (crypto/fiat/e-wallet)

7. Scam or legit tag in the title based on user review. Example: [SCAM] Thismycasino.com [WARNING] thismycasino.com, [LEGIT] thismycasino.com this is will help the user to know current status of gambling provider and will help you to gain users from search engine.

I would like to see an honest review by real users, their experience even it's negative or not, of course with a response from the management itself to see how honest they respond to their users and how they plan to address negative feedbacks in their platform. Transparency from the team will assure users that the management is there to provide quality service.

Other features such as UI, the games, deposits, and withdrawals, etc. is workable, but how the management will address those points in their platform will determine how determined and dedicated the management is in delivering their service to their users.

[Debonaire217]

What particular review? video or text? If video, I want to see some penetration testing, it's kind of weird but for the sake of reviewing the security of the gambling site, a skilled ethical hacker might want to try to test if the gambling site could handle attacks and of course, the person reviewing should not expose the exploit if they find some, but just tell the viewers whenever there's a vulnerability in it, as well as report it to the website itself.

Though, stating pros and cons of the gambling site is enough already for people to play and enjoy the site.

[MCobian]

I want to see the bonus reviews given, currency options, payment methods, security, types of games available and users experience.
If all the reviews I mentioned are available it will make me and other users interested in playing gambling in your place. And don't let
you include reviews copy paste from other gambling sites, if this happens I make sure the reputation of your gambling sites will be
destroyed.

I want to see the bonus reviews given, currency options, payment methods, security, types of games available and users experience.

Those info surely brings readers attentions, if you can provide this inside your review sites, interest to play will be possible, 
it helps readers to understand what's the advantages
of the gambling site that you are featuring.

If all the reviews I mentioned are available it will make me and other users interested in playing gambling in your place.

Correct, after reading and learning all the features the next thing from readers/gamblers is to try it out and play the game.

And don't let you include reviews copy paste from other gambling sites, if this happens I make sure the reputation of your gambling sites will be
destroyed.

It's not a good practice to only copypaste others offers, best to be more creative to get more visitors.

Also, if you can include if there are existing scam allegations or unresolved issues, along with the links discussing such outstanding issues. It will give the notion to players to check more of the site if they see there are existing issues and check the validity of the complaints.

Yeah and this is the main used of review, to check whether the website is safe to play or not. The feature review is just next to it because are talking about here a casino rating and not some app. Most of the casino are using almost identical script so the gameplay is just same. They just changing the aesthetic design to fit on there website theme.

In addition to this fact statement. A good review on how customer support handle any issue in game will really made all readers to feel safe on playing on this casino.

Hi there,

What do you want to see in a gambling site review?

The fact, if you are a diligent gambling addict, you surely know there are thousands of games/bets on gambling sites.

Maybe you have to determine and choose from the many sites that you need to use, no, wonder, since gambling sites appeared & until now, there is still more new, almost useless if gambling site reviews are published here, as I say every day continues to grow.

The best solution for you is; approach and read scientific reviews and choose a random gambling site, you will get information, advice, production, crypto etc., about gambling site reviews.
You really need a long time, for all that.
As; this initial research is very important.

[plvbob0070]

I don't specifically look for something when looking at a review. I'm just reading what gamblers have experienced and what they can say about the gambling site. I don't really explore many gambling sites, but when I try to look for a review, I tend to read a lot of insights to gather as much information that would satisfy me and convince me to try the site.

Also, it would be more honest if the reviews include a negative or something that they don't like about the site. But since not all reviews are honest, I don't just depend on gambling site online reviews when looking for a casino.

What do you want to see in a gambling site review?

I want to understand what people want to read about, besides the standard pros & cons list, supported currencies, etc.

What will you find truly useful in such a review?

So far all review sites are works of individuals for providing reviews or it may be extended up to a team of gamblers but definitely not a community based. How about a gambling review site where I can make use of bitcointalk's rank and reputation to provide my experience happened in one particular gambling site?

I mean a community based gambling review site will be more exciting and more reliable. You may wonder why another one when are already having this forum. But, I guess if a dedicated site for reviews (about both positive and issues) will be too good to surf and find out new good sites and to enjoy their all offers without getting mislead by shills.

Already some gambling houses are offering in-house forum for their community; so this could be combination of bitcointalk+gambling forum. Anyone should be allowed to talk and to participate in a review discussion. I know it will be tons of work but when we need a perfect system, it will be possible only when we have strict regulations like how bitcointalk team do.
