How do you know how to trust online sportsbooks?

[Natalim]

Hello everyone, I've been using online sportsbooks for a while now, but I wanted to know how do you know how to trust those sites? What do you look for in them, what are some red flags for you, that kind of stuff. Hope it makes sense and please share what are your favorite online sportsbooks.

Checking their reputation is a big help. It is one of the steps you need to do before making yourself play with their service. Find out what issues does their players had encountered from playing on their site. Find reviews. Look also for accusation threads with strong proofs included.  

I try to get new promotions in the forum before joining a new casino site , especially if they are running a signature on this forum, or their feedback on ANN threads as well as being licensed to determine the legitimacy of that company. I try to take a good look at how long it takes to withdraw. I also try to find the information that the particular site have any restricted area or not. When i get any chance with high bonus having these feature on any particular site i recognized as a trusted casino site.

It's good that you really read the TOS of a certain site, honestly, sometimes I just do a quick sign up without reading the terms and condition, but I have never face a problem with the gambling sites I'm using because like you, I also check their ANN thread and if they have a signature campaign.

On the forums, several lists of reputable sportsbooks have been provided so that it convinces new users to join because here if there is a problem there will be accusations that warn many people.
But luckily on the forums, there are many who remind which sportsbooks are better if you look for them.

I'm sure people who come here will be instructed about a reputable sportsbook site and with their experience so they won't get caught up in a bad reputation.

As long as they don't sign up right away without doing research or reading about each sportsbook, they won't have any problems because the sportsbook site always maintains its reputation and will avoid any problems that could arise. Those people should know how to choose a sportsbook site that is good for them and remember that other people's advice is not necessarily good for them so they should find out more.

most importantly, don't just choose a site that is promoted or suddenly appears in our social media ads. it's not all bad, but through social media marketing, it's more likely that the site is new and doesn't have a good reputation.
especially if it is related to the promotion of a new site, most teams make their project reviews on youtube and some articles. it searches will show us some information.
still, be careful when choosing a place to play. not just making money or having fun. we must ensure the safety of our assets.

If you want to join a sportsbook, you must first read the overview. Real sportsbook requires a readable and printable license agreement. This is the basis for determining whether each user acts legally and complies with the laws of each country. The license requires the user to complete the terms and conditions without advertisements or changes. you have to know their deposit and withdrawn system. Is there any KYC process?. How much time will need to take withdraw? It is better to join Sportsbook knowing all the issues like what country it is operated from or how it is controlled. You can find out more about these topics by searching online and there are many topics or posts in this forum as well that you can find out about the feedback. If all the requirements are fulfilled then you can apply to this sportsbook.

I believe this forum, the gambling board and gambling discussion board are very comprehensive references when it comes to crypto gambling.
For me, if you want to know a specific casino or sportsbook, just head to their respective thread here and you will learn a lot more as compared to the reviews outside.
No filter about the reviews or feedbacks, and you will get a lot more information about how they respond to their players.
If you want a brief overview of the site, you can check the trust summary of their representative to see if they have existing complaints.

Apart from Review, license, site functionality and comments on the site. It is good to check the customer case as well.
How does the refund policies work and also what percentage the player get. RTP is as important as review and site functionality

Many have already said it, in fact I have seen that on TV there is a site called micasino.com but here there is not, in Chile and Argentina it is that I see advertising, as well as there is another casino called Rushbet that is of origin Colombian because there I see the promotion, however they are casinos that pay a lot in these countries to appear on TV, but here in the forum they do not have any thread, I would like it if one day it came and they stepped on it with a strong foot, maybe with signature campaign and doing a good marketing in social networks, because having it on TV would be widely completed with the forum, of course this is my way of thinking, they are casinos of Latin origin, but they still have to manage many clients.

Sometimes you also need to see who are those people gives their feedbacks because sometimes there are casino thread creator pays a thread bumper just to show to the forum users that they have relevance and their casino is good according to their paid reviews. But threads here is really a good reference its just we need to scan those reviews if that one came from legitimate people who test their casino and not those fake nor spamming users.

I personally wouldn't worry about such cases. bitcointalk is not kind of site where an unfair review of a gambling site can go unnoticed and just hang there forever. Write such a review and a massive backlash is unavoidable. Overall, it will do no good to a site that wanted to misrepresent itself.

Agreed!
Bitcointalk is not that kind of a forum. If someone is caught doping such things then apart from the backlash they might also get banned or might get an instant negative trust for scamming. There have been instances in the past so there are a lot of mechanism in place here. I would always believe on the feedback left on the respective threads by forum user.

The trust system and the merit system on this forum allows to see right away who's the person that left this or that feedback. And the system itself is not complicated at all: green is good, red is bad, yellow - be careful, and if you are still not sure, you can go to the users profile and read what trusted members of the forum are saying about him/her.

Reading feedback on online sportsbooks on other sites can be confusing. But not here.

I agree with you on many points regarding the ease of identifying trusted sites through the forum. But I would like to point out few points:
First, the trust system on the forum can be manipulated and we have seen many successful attempts to get untrusted members into the DT list just to get a positive rating from them about an unknown casino, especially scam sites.
Second, the member evaluation may be correct at a certain time, but it is not valid for every time. The evaluation owner may leave the forum or not return to the forum to review his feedbacks upon updates.
Third, there are other reliable websites that give good ratings and regularly update their data. You can ask about them here in the forum and use them as well.

Overall, the forum remains one of the best ways to get to the best gambling sites .

Right now I do not have any favorite sportsbook as I don't really gamble that much in relation to sports.

That is correct check the repute - check the reviews - check the functionality and also RTP as well.
But most importantly try to find what locals are using. Dont follow blindly.

For me it is enough to check the reputation, the RTP where can you find it? For example, if I enter Duelbits, it appears below the games or in what description? I did not know that this is shown by casinos, if the RTP is very high it can be won more easily, but otherwise it would be very complicated, another thing What I check is if there is a thread in reputation and if there is not, then everything is fine.

I think that TOS are mostly written for legal purposes, but it is usually quite complex to understand the precise terms you are signing for. It is not only in gambling sites, there is a comparison of TOS and licences from different social networks, software and services.


As you can see, even if you are the type of person that can understand the legal terms and have the visual acuity to not faint when doing so, you are off to a good 15 minutes and, if you do not agree, you have only one option.

As long as they don't sign up right away without doing research or reading about each sportsbook, they won't have any problems because the sportsbook site always maintains its reputation and will avoid any problems that could arise. Those people should know how to choose a sportsbook site that is good for them and remember that other people's advice is not necessarily good for them so they should find out more.

Choosing something like this is tantamount to choosing in crypto what project or coin we need to invest in because we have to read every ins and outs that exist and relate to the site they run.
The problem is that many people are sometimes not aware of this and are still tempted by the name of bonuses for new registrants which makes this something like something difficult to do.
Although this only applies to gamblers who are only momentary or not very careful, but from many cases from several existing sites, the new user bonus is one of the most frequently used, which makes this one of the gaps for sportsbook sites that intend to not good.

I searched Rushbet on Twitter and found that their account is verified but they are not a crypto gambling site as I visited their website and yeah they also have sports betting. I think it is probably impossible that they will come here to promote their casino by just launching a signature campaign as they don't support cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.

most importantly, don't just choose a site that is promoted or suddenly appears in our social media ads. it's not all bad, but through social media marketing, it's more likely that the site is new and doesn't have a good reputation.
especially if it is related to the promotion of a new site, most teams make their project reviews on youtube and some articles. it searches will show us some information.
still, be careful when choosing a place to play. not just making money or having fun. we must ensure the safety of our assets.

If we see advertisements about gambling sites on social media, we should seek more information about that site before we try it because it will reduce the risk of being scammed from the site. By getting more information, we can also get a list of trusted and reputable gambling sites to avoid the risk of fraud.

I don't really believe what YouTubers share when it comes to a site and will look for ratings from other websites because we don't know if they are telling the truth or fake. But I think you just need to look for those gambling sites from this forum and it's better than using them on social media.

Choosing something like this is tantamount to choosing in crypto what project or coin we need to invest in because we have to read every ins and outs that exist and relate to the site they run.

It would be better if we could find a lot of information because we can consider gambling sites that we can use to gamble. Don't be easily tempted by the bonuses offered by gambling sites because usually, they will use the terms and conditions they want. If we don't follow their rules, we can get into trouble, like having to do KYC when we want to withdraw winning money from the bonus. New users should be able to find information about the site and read from this forum.

If you want to find out easily, try to check the feedback or reviews of players who have played there. We can see that in this forum thread or on sites that provide gambling site recommendation services. Also, feedback from outside the forum like google and their social media.

You can tell which sportsbook is trustworthy only when you see that their activities are conducted through various social media, they have a large number of fans and followers and there are no bad comments from the followers. They will have good quality web site and will not have any problem in making big transactions. They will have registration in sportsbook. They will have various activities in the forum.

I hope you also check their social handles and if they are solvent enough as a new casino to handle big withdrawals. The last time Bitlucy started its business here, lots of promotions and bonuses were given, a signature campaign was also launched and social media engagement was going but didn't end well for the manager and those who deposit their money into the casino, they claimed that the system was abused but deep inside, they were insolvent, they didn't have enough money to open a casino but did and ended up jeopardizing some peoples money and reputation for working with them.

That is a good point mentioned - social media posts, content and comments of the users would help you know how does their customer care department works.
For every business - CSR is very important. And I always look for it. And also check the social handles too.

You dont trust them. With online sportsbooks trust can change over night. But try watching some reviews and how popular they are here on bitcointalk. I bet on a couple of them and i have no problems so far but im always cautious with them. But rating and trust is really important.

Yes - that is correct - review is an important point to be considered. But also keep in mind some reviews are purchased as well.
The point mentioned above about checking the social media content and considering the other factors like RTP and KYC should also be given due importance.

It is and remains a matter of gaining experience and you can only gain that experience on a personal level with a bookmaker. People will always have different opinions about a bookmaker. What counts for person A may be completely different for person B of course. You can look at the general reputation of a bookmaker, the average and general rating also says something of course. And if you don't have a certain amount of confidence with a bookmaker yet, you can also consider starting with a small deposit to test the site and the process.

Trusting something and someone in gambling is not mostly suggested however - keep a close look at what the competitors are doing and who is doing it well will surely be a good technique. REview, CSR, RTP, KYC all are very important factors to be considered.

You are right that mate online sportsbook trust can change and it based on their performances but some of them paid for the review they will give money to some people who are willing to give them a good feedback without playing. But some them they are newbie but some older gambler did not do that they will give feedback based on their experience and not because they got paid. But if you are willing to play then you should start small betting to test the casino or site.

I don't see any hard thing there to know a reliable and trusted Casino. You have to take a looks at it thoroughly and take a look at some review about it to get a hint of what it's all about. Sometimes we can try and test it buy depositing little fund there and try playing some games to how the platform works, then try and make a withdrawal to see how fast withdrawal could be. This is better to have a hint about how the casino works nit always depending on other people's reviews.

Some reviews are biased, so it is really hard to rely on someone else's feedback.
But you can get the idea how the sportsbook is doing by checking this forum and their corresponding thread.
And if you do want to try, yes, use small funds first and check how it will go thru.
Some people are being screwed because they also violate the terms of the site.
Not all complaints are owed because of the site, but also the player himself.
