[Opinion Needed] What do you want to see in a gambling site review? || 2

[shoreno]

video is best review, you need to sow people its real and you playin and it workin people like to see words are only so far

you mean review in a form of videos or video review ? it didnt came to my head but i remember i see it on youtube where they review a casino  .  

there are video review campaigns held on this forum for every new casino . this is a good addition to a written format type of review so that lazy people or simple users that visit the review site can get an overview easily without the need of visiting the link  .  core factors for a review site is also listed already on the first page , i cant think of any to add  .

@OP, it's very subjective and depends on an individual on what they want to see in a casino review. For me, I look at the below parts more carefully within a casino review,

1. Deposit and withdrawal experience
2. If kyc details are asked while withdrawing big amount
3. License
4. Verifiable Provably fairness in results
5. Support turn around time
6. If they have active community or not
7. House egde

I am newbie in gambling so that's my tiny list of information that I look for. Experienced gamblers will be able to provide you with more insights.

If the mentioned opinions aren't enough, we have this thread made also yesterday.

Which website do you usually go to get your news and casino reviews?

Some ideas can be extracted from the posts there which can be helpful to your survey for opinions and other related things.

Since I have stated my ideas in detail in the previous topic, I would like to mention briefly about my expectations here. Personally, when I read the review of a gambling website, it contains detailed information about that website, as well as detailed information about how this service has additional advantages over other services, how reliable it is compared to other websites, and the license the website is using. I also check if the information is available. If these data are mentioned, I will read those articles carefully and completely. Such details are very important to me because I pay attention to such details while choosing the service.

The most common complaint I notice in all these crypto is when someone comes in and claims scam, and then it is related to double spending (same old story if you know crypto gambling). I wonder if there is an effective and transparent way to assess how each casinos deal with this? I know all casinos want 0 confirmation deposit so that double spending risk is always a problem.

We have seen that zero confirmation deposit wayback but it isnt really been used as of today due to that double-spending issue thats why they do already had that at least 1 confirmation on said deposit.
So far i havent seen any related cases as of this year - maybe i did miss some but so far i havent encountered as of this moment.In topic on what i do like to see in a gambling site review then
i do just need transparency when it comes to review where theres no bias nor just a one sided words just because they had been paid up on said gambling site.

Most popular gambling sites has the specs and popular features that you need to know about users demand. You could try to visit those sites.
All the above mentioned about of a gambling site is necessary but something about it is missing. In my opinion, i would like an all in one site that has sports betting and casino games.

[Latviand]

1. Deposit and withdrawal experience
3. License
4. Verifiable Provably fairness in results

These three features are the most important to me, it will make a gambling site much trusted and people will try your platform if the review included those three.

+ License is one of the most needed or required to verify if a gambling site is really trusted and supported by the authorities. If a gambling site don't have any license, then you should doubt their platform.
+ The deposit and withdrawal experience should be seen in a gambling website review to see how fast and how convenient those transactions are so that it is less hassle for the customer to acquire his winnings or to spend more money.
+ Fairness in results is what most of the gamblers are looking at so that they will not feel any biased or unequal about the outcome in a specific gambling game that the customer played.

I am newbie in gambling so that's my tiny list of information that I look for. Experienced gamblers will be able to provide you with more insights.

That's normal for a newbie, to look for a reputable gambling where he can become comfortable accessing it. Just continue to watch more gambling site reviews and don't hesitate to try them so that you know how it works and how it really feels to play in that certain platform.

To me, one of the most important parts of an online casino is the community. If I want to spend my time playing my chances with some bucks, I definitely want a fun community to virtually hang with. So it'd be nice imo if the review includes at least a brief opinion about the community or how active the chat is. I find it quite boring to play alone, so I usually "invite" other players to bet with me at the same time and see who wins the most

What else would you add to this?

These were the OP questions:

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?

Short (head):

Main Pros & Cons
Is it provably fair for real?
Supported coins
Offered games



Then the full review, based on the real playing experience. Trying to be as much objective as possible, staying unbiased.

After playing for a while:

- Bonuses & promotions: terms, do they offer rakeback, tournaments, chat & community events, wagering competitions, etc.

- User Interface and what experience it's offering

- Offered games in details

- Supported coins in details

- Provably Fair system - how does it work, is it really provably fair and how to check your bets

- TOS: Is something sneaky there. Do they require KYC?

- Deposits & Withdraws - limits, how easy and how fast they are, etc.

- Site support & security: How quickly do they answer queries, do they offer 2FA, emergency withdrawing address, etc.

- Checking for open Scam accusations and mark the sites.

With screenshots of the interesting points.



Thank you

I guess one good feature of a Gambling Website Platform is a KYC. It would really be useful for those people to trust the platform BUT they need to make sure that once giving their information, the Gambling Platform won't do something bad with it because building Gambling Websites will take a lot of time before it gains popularity. It should also have an interactive complaint section where their needs are immediately taken care of.

Giving bonuses and referral bonuses are already given to a lot of websites and I guess another thing to add is that make sure the games are not rigged since they can easily discover if they are being scammed.

Since they have already stated what they look in a gambling review site, even in your first thread. I've also said my opinion there so I don't think I still have something to add since most of the gamblers are just looking for the same thing when reading reviews and it was already mentioned.

But if op is planning to include everything listed and mentioned,  I hope it won't be that too long of a review. For me, it will be tiring to read such a long review. Just an honest review including its pros and cons. And then it will already depend on the gamblers whether he will gamble on that site or not.

I don't really agree with you, I believe it's better to have a complete review than one with missing pieces. Bolded subtitles could help you get to the points you want to read about. There were phone review websites out there that had like 10 pages of reviews and you could choose which part of the phone's review you want to read.. it's nice imo.

It depends but to know that phone reviews and a gambling site reviews does have difference when it comes to key areas that should really be reviews about.

They wont really be on the same page when you do try to elaborate each thing thats why phone reviews does have much longer than gambling sites.

What would you write up that for long on a specific key are in gambling? Keypoints is already enough imho.

These are good points to consider when creating a review for a platform. This will cover the whole concept and scope of the platform if this is present in a review. You can also add a little overview or summary while using the platform, I think this will somehow give the reader a little information about the gambling platform as a whole.

But take note, it is a long review is not really as attractive as it looks. A very short but direct review will be suffice.

[kire - cryptzino]

Thank you all for your opinions.

I updated the list.

I understand that not every person wants to read a 10-page review, so the reviews will be structured

- Short intro with the main points:

   - Pros & Cons
   - Is it provably fair for real? Yes/No (Issues?)
   - How easy could you check the provably fair function? Easy, Moderate, Hard (Issues?)
   - Supported coins
   - Offered games

And then continue with a detailed review for anybody who wants more and clear information on all the topics, based on the real playing experience—trying to be as much objective as possible, staying unbiased.

After playing for a while:

   - Bonuses & promotions: terms, max. winnings with bonus money, do they offer rakeback, tournaments, chat & community events, wagering competitions, etc.

   - User Interface and what experience it's offering

   - Min & Max bets

   - House edge (bookie margin, etc)

   - Offered games in details

   - Supported coins in details

   - Provably Fair system - how does it work, is it really provably fair and how to check your bets   

   - TOS - Is there something sneaky. Do they require KYC?

   - Deposits & Withdraws - limits, how easy and how fast they are, etc.

   - Site support & security - How quickly do they answer queries, do they offer 2FA, emergency withdrawing address, etc.

   - Scam accusations - is there any (open) and mark the site.

   - Investment options, if any

   - Licence

Thank you again. I appreciate it.

I'm sure people would be more interested in a list of a casino/sportsbetting no deposit bonuses 😁
A list of poker free roll promotions
A list of high pay rates referrals program

And yeah I agree to those who suggest you to add the bitcointalk ANN link somewhere in your site.
I know it would be hard to keep such a gambling sites review to remain netral , there's always a good offer on the table to make certain manipulative reviews.
It's always hard to reject such an offers 😄.

Goodluck with your project.

I would like to see the unbiased review of the people who uses the site without any involvement of the site. Also, the ranking system based as per the user if it can be highlighted will be helpful. Another thing is that a section if can be created like any ongoing issues with any of the sites maybe it could be payment, bonuses not given etc if any such occurrences happen can be in a separate note. And once it is solved the comment can be mentioned it the case is solved something on those lines if possible.

I don't think any user of bitcointalk will give forced review about particular casinos for some reasons like they are wearing theit signature and getting paid from it etc, almost all the points given here are basic and general opinions of individuals.

All I want about a casino reviewing site is just the brief note about the casinos without shilling for it.

well the conclusion is that no one can provide a guarantee that the casino is safe or not for that at least if you want to try a new casino then at least you should be able to look deeper and as much as possible use a balance that is not being used so when your assets will know that the casino is safe or not.

Simple and precise, all the details that gamblers should need, it's best for any gambling review sites not to shill and
write only important hints that will benefits the gamblers, things like being honestly fair, good and 24/7 customer
supports, whether KYC is needed and importantly if the site really have the good amount of bankroll so whatever
happened the assurance of withdrawing funds in case gamblers got lucky and win big time.
