Fan of casino reviews online? This is a must-read

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I have to completely agree with the op, if not for anything, but for my own personal experience, I myself have posted a lot of reviews on trustpilot, and all this reviews have always been good positive reviews with a 5 star ratings , but the dark side is that, those reviews I posted weren't reviews influenced by my own personal experience (s), but rather, there were paid for, yeah, I won't mention the name of the  companies but they all actually paid me and several thousands of other people to rate them good, and I believe that not just the companies I've reviewed do this, several other companies with page on trustpilot either pay their users to post good reviews about them on trustpilot, or the pay trustpilot to remove all the bad reviews on their page and leave only the good ones, or they engage in both ..

This is why I personally will never trust in reviews posted on trustpilot, and I do not encourage any one to .

To cut this topic short, stay the hell away from TrustPilot, I think Coinguru is still a better choice.

We have our very own casino review platform such as BTCGosu and Gamblingbro that is very active on updating their list of casino for their review. They gives a very thorough insights especially thise casino that has ANN thread here.

Just to be safe. Only play on casino that has an active ANN thread here and verify their score on the casino review website that I mention above to avoid experiencing headache from casino that taking advantage against their user since we can’t voice out our opinion to the casino if we are being ignored or worst banned in the casino.

Both are affiliate platforms, registering and playing under an affiliate has some advantages in my opinion and experience. Along with different bonuses and promotions in dealing with some issues, you can get help from your affiliate manager, he has direct contacts with casino admins and he can really push some things in the right way.

I can just repeat myself once again, if it's not BTCGosu-approved I will not register and play.

I most likely love to get a review from user-experience in reddits.
- See a review experience from user
- Check in-case there has some thread who discuss about the problem on these casino
- How the casino handle and response

Always work for me, I never have a problem with online-gambling. Everythings is smoth, even my self have experience withdraw a few thousand dollars without needed to passed (KYC).

I don't trust trustpilot or any review sites because it's full of fabricated, manipulated, or false reviews.

This can be the site hire paid reviewers to write a good review about their site or they hire spammers to attack the other competitor by creating fake review, everything is possible. Fortunately in this forum, there are many people care with honest review, so if someone write a fake review, the other people will tell it to warn everyone.

So TrustPilot is complete shit at this point,  

Forgive me as I don't know that a popular rating and review platform like TrustPilot can be this blind or maybe it's all intentional I don't know.

My advice to all new gamblers on this forum, do not use Trust Pilot to fund good-rated online casinos, they can't be trusted. I have been seeing TrustPilot for a long time and I don't even know that I will end up using it one day, I was looking for a platform that rates casinos base on good records and good reviews online, that's when someone recommended this TrustPilot.

I was like oh I have been seeing TrustPilot for a long time, just never used them, until I grabbed a cup of coffee and decided to do some surfing, then I found out that the most popular scamming casino on this forum called 1xbit was rated well on TrustPilot.

So if I don't know about Bitcointalk forum and 1xbit I would have though the online casino is a good one. There is no single bad review about 1xbit on TrustPilot and I was like how the hell this is happening?

To cut this topic short, stay the hell away from TrustPilot, I think Coinguru is still a better choice.

I think that it is possible that the competition and/or disgruntled sore-loser players put up fake reviews to damage the reputation of casinos but I do not see how the solution to fighting fake/malicious reviews is to go into a different website. Anyone can fake reviews. Especially if they come from a "reviewer website", which either sells good reviews or is abused as a troll platform to smear reputations.

We need a different solution.

People get paid to leave good reviews about apps on Google Play store even without trying them out, do we now think that there are no people who do the same thing about casinos on Trustpilot and other websites where they leave reviews?

The best place to get the real and true review about a from those small YouTubers without sponsorships. Not those streams or whatever you call them. This board is another good place to get an unadulterated review too. But we know that this is the last resort after falling for one of those scam casinos.

A trustworthy rating tool is an important way for gamblers to find legitimate sites. So, differences make people wonder. I've done a lot of study on gambling platforms, and your emphasis on doing thorough research is very important. Before you make a bet or choose a site, look into a lot of different sources. Even though TrustPilot may have let you down, sites like Bitcointalk are a good reminder that cross-referencing is not a nice-to-have, its a must. Coinguru could be another option, but you should always double check. Not only does responsible gambling involve money, but also a lot of study.

1xbit probably paid the Trustpilot to put them on top. I couldn't be sure but there is no way that casino is going up the rank without doing some manipulation because 1xbit is very well known to be a scam in the biggest crypto community.

But every review site today I think is also paid. Some of them don't even list the popular casinos yet the unknown are featured on top all the time. Apart from that, the administrator of the casino accepts banner advertisements where an unknown scam casino can buy the ad space. I remember 1xbit links and banners are on so many crypto sites that I visited.

Trust pilot have lost it credibility for long since when they were scams and Ponzi are getting positive reviews on trust pilots which have led many to fall into scams or investing in Ponzi schemes that are disguised as investments which have misled many in the current market.

So just as I have stated in several of of comments,  the best form of reviews anyone can get when it comes to casinos is by following the opinions of forum users who may have taken out the time to truly test the casino to see how effective they are.

These rating platforms have different parameters used in measuring the performance of casinos. It is key to check these benchmark to know if it suits your standard. It will also be a mistake to rely on a single rating by platform to evaluate the reputation of a casino, we should always check other rating platforms. Most reviews are arranged to suit some casinos. Some review websites are secretly owned or financed by these casinos so you don't expect them to publish a negative review. In most cases only reviews that favors the casino is publicized. I don't trust any of them which is why doing research is cardinal.

I agree with the part about using different sites to check the ratings and reviews of casinos but it's still better to rely on a single rating if they're known for their casino reviews over the others filled with nothing but paid reviews.

I also take reviews with a grain of salt because i've seen others rate other casinos lower when they're almost the same as the good casinos. You can't always be sure about some of them, and it encouraged me to start looking for other available reviews.

My way of checking whether a gambling site is good or not is to ask for players in that platform (if there is a community outside or inside the site) or to check it for myself with minimal amount of deposit for checking. I know reviees can be easily done by the platform itself which is part of its marketing strategy which for me it is not a a good way to check for a site's credibility especially in this industry. But it works for landbased casinos, as far as I know. Problem only is that, a platform will only be considered as faulty or a scam once things already occur and once majority of players are affected by it. Which also makes it hard to determine at first glance.

I have personally found some good parts in Trustpillow about products and services which have nothing to do with Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and gambling. On the other hand Op, you are need to be aware that shady casinos like 1xbit, since they have their reputation badly damaged they need to rely on deception and misinformation to further continue to scam new people, many of those positive reviews you saw are likely part of a campaign of shilling, people getting paid cents for a fake review.

By the way, there have been several efforts to establish several review web pages for gamblers around here, some of them are okey, others have failed, but to this day I have not found any which is big enough to have a significant percentage of the traffic.

Trustpillow was a good company back in the day, but not nowadays, with these waves of scammers.

If you want to read crypto gambling reviews access bitcointalk forum or do your research on Google including bitcointalk forum on the keywords. Maybe it's not even necessary to do this, because the forum is already quite popular on gambling matter, but just to make sure include it. Here you can find accurate feedbacks and reviews from veteran members of gambling community, against random created accounts at TrustPilot you don't know who are, what means they can be members of the casino itself reviewing their own company as fake customers.

[MAAManda]

If you say that there's not a single negative review on the 1xbit page on TrustPilot then you are wrong. So far there's a composition of 22% of the total 3028 reviews that have been submitted. After all, TrustPilot is an open platform where each user can give a review as they like. So don't blame TrustPilot for what is happening now.

FYI, TrustPilot isn't just silent about what is happening now, they are also trying to filter out the fake reviews that exist.

To answer his question I think YES. Regular users of the internet, the not savvy ones will trust the reviews on Trustpilot because it's almost like a consensus where there are hundreds to thousands of users there rating 1xbit like they experience heaven while in reality, it's not.

Someone from facebook will really be persuaded to just register on 1xbit and just play there. It must be worth for 1xbit to pay reviewers and advertise through Truspilot, it pays. Despite how badly the casino was condemned here, they managed to make money from those users.

[maydna]

Most of us know that TrustPilot is dishonest in its reviews and ratings of casino sites. And we presume that the casino pays TrustPilot or is it based on their own judgment. But TrustPilot should be able to look for other more accurate and valid information so that they don't provide ratings and reviews that seem dishonest.

There have been many sites that have honest reviews and ratings by TrustPilot, even though that is not true at all. I would only feel sad if there were people who were entirely new to this matter who discovered the information provided by TrustPilot. They can be completely fooled by the ratings and reviews on the site and lose their money.

To cut this topic short, stay the hell away from TrustPilot, I think Coinguru is still a better choice.

If I can be honest, even though we know TrustPilot and so on as sites that can be used as references, in reality I have never used them as references for me personally. BTW, I rarely look for reviews regarding online casinos that have good ratings. The problem is simple, we are in a community. In fact, we know very well which casinos have a credible and trustworthy reputation. Except, the casino you mentioned in this thread. because based on its history in the community, this casino has a red report.

Other than that I'm also not referring to Coinguru, although based on your rating it's still a good choice, I didn't bother to check it out. because as I said once again, after all, we already have casinos that have good ratings in the community and some casinos can really be trusted. at least, for now. and hopefully, there will be no problems or obstacles in the future. So far, I have not experienced any problems with several casinos on my trust list. and that, is enough for me personally. but after all, what you do deserves appreciation.

I don't really use Trustpilot to check websites, I rely on other sites as well as my own experience to judge whether a website is legitimate or not. I believe that any website owner can manipulate reviews by purchasing votes and creating a façade of trustworthiness with fake positive reviews. This can ultimately lead to scamming many gamblers who may wonder how they got scammed when the casino had received a lot of good reviews on Trustpilot or any other platform.

IMO a better thing to do is to engage with gamblers who are already using the website. Have conversations with them to learn about their experiences with the casino before investing any money. This way, you can avoid fake reviews from random people that you don't know about.

I've never trusted any review site be because they could only be used to manipulate and be paid just to increase the trust rate of some sites regardless of their reputation.
It's something that we have to be careful and skeptical about as many reviews nowadays aren't really and were just paid to made.
It's better to check things on other gamblers or trusted communities like this forum if we're checking on the legitimacy.
Deep research is always necessary so we won't fall for scam casinos which exist everywhere nowadays.

[Casdinyard]

Honestly you have a point, any review site that advertises shady dealings/companies should be avoided outrightly. And this goes not only for Trustpilot but for every other "reputable" review sources out there that takes bribe, or is not diligent enough to check the validity of customer reviews. At the very least as a beacon of information and safety in an industry ridden with fraudsters and untrustworthy companies, you could've been more responsible enough so as to employ parameters that would detect whether a casino is getting reviewbombed or not. I've seen review sites do this in the past, so it's not a matter of "it's impossible given the technology.

I don't really rely on review sources for casinos to play in as I still see bitcointalk as my best source of info should I decide to jump to gambling, at the very least I am confident and at ease knowing that the information dropped within this forum is based on customer experience alone and with guarantee too.
