Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired?

[Pmalek]

I have never really been a person who cares about the design aspect of software as much as I favor a fully functional, easy-to-use, and bug-free platform. An online casino that looks good but functions badly is of no use to me. I am interested in sports betting, and if the odds are higher than what I can find locally in my neighborhood, that's all I care about. I am not that into casino games, but they are all basically the same, no matter how the site looks.

Yes but how the site would be presented, could reflect to how well they give importance to their users. If they are giving efforts to smallest details, then they're more likely to put effort as well with concerns in the long run for their platform. Being minimalist is different from being uninspired. Aside from its appearance, another thing that matters is their credibility to be trusted given that money is involved and it is not solely experience and time which will be wasted if things will get out of hand. There are many platforms to choose from; with different designs and with different offers. Appearance of the platform might be disregarded by some but it is the first thing to give us an impression, therefore it should be also considered.

If you see several casinos with the same design it can be a scam. The same time, someone can decide that it would be easier to attract more gamblers using different site clones and it works normally, but i prefer not to risk.
But possible that lots of casinos looks similar because the it would be easier for gambler get the standard interface and don`t spend time studying the new interface or even leave the casino because it is uncomfortable.

Scam? Or maybe more on phishing? But. this one can be justified if the domain name is also identical to the original site. The other thing that you said is also possible. I never thought of that TBH, but you got a good point there. This may be the reason on why more and more casinos are seem to be identical to each other. It's like they don't want to destroy the momentum that is already built up in the gambler.

There is still a slight difference that I can notice, like some has a missing feature, while the other has more/complete feature. I prefer the complete one obviously, because it can mean that they are doing their best to deliver a good experience to their customers. Those who are unique and original, still has a special place in our hearts.

If gamblers have found a place to play that feels comfortable and enjoyable, they will not be too interested in other casinos even though their interface is almost the same. unless the casino where he plays has an unpleasant problem for him. looking for another casino might happen. but choosing something that is almost the same certainly creates suspicion. Moreover, if the casino names look identical, of course, there is a possibility that it is a scam site.
some gamblers may not mind the same interface. because what they think is that the game they like is there.

[Pmalek]

Yes but how the site would be presented, could reflect to how well they give importance to their users.

You can look at it from different perspectives. Yours isn't wrong, but let me show you another point of view. Making a site look pretty and sparkly could just be a trick to mask its ugly and unfunctional core. There is a saying that goes, it's like putting lipstick on a pig. With or without the lipstick, it's still a pig made to look a little more presentable.

The way the casino works and the services it offers to its customers is to me a reflection on what they think of their clientele.

Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? Yes I feel that way but it is what it is

A lot of them seem to be hastily assembled clone sites with very little effort put in and gimmicky marketing. All they care for now is profit in my opinion so why not clone successful sites to make a new one, all online gambling sites "In my opinion" is almost the same. but scam casino it does cost copy and paste with different name 

It also seems to me now that the flow of copying gaming sites and casino sites is gradually decreasing. 
I agree that this process has begun to move into the stage of real new startups, which foresee and announce in advance some new competencies that are interesting for players.
 This is simply a natural process of development of the gambling industry itself.  We can say that the period of the “wild West” in this area of ​​IT technology is ending.  And this, of course, is good, if only because naturally there are relatively fewer new casinos aimed at some kind of fraudulent activities in the future.  It seems to me that there are really fewer of them lately. 
Here's what I think about it.

You are right, I have seen that there is a decline in casinos that are occurring because the reason can be very particular , perhaps it is because the decisions regarding Creating new casinos entail a lot of work, and since it is difficult, I think many prefer to do so. investments in the most reliable casinos on the forum and thus save work, in addition the creation of casinos involves a lot of effort, dedication and above all for some it can bring many Complications , in particular I think that many things can happen, for example the problem of capital, Good capital is difficult to acquire, and when you are in such a competitive environment things tend to be very hard to be able to keep up with everything , in retrospect things can happen where companies only want to do certain things, for example set up the caisno, do all the security process and that the casino begins to be able to maintain itself , paying attention or even to the fact that there are many players who are whale style who enter betting very hard and that those bets can make the difference and if the caisno is not very well Prepared , because it can bankrupt you.

Everything is there and it consists of not letting yourself be decaptized , I think that is the reason why now many do not want to launch their casinos , because there are players who are very nice and can do these types of acts making things more difficult for them , because a well-established channel with everything, its well-structured KYC systems , that can also be very decisive in whether people are reluctant, you can't do things like that all the time, you have to consider more things to be at the level, I think that when A person has a lot to show in one place, they have to keep in mind that if there is not enough to be launched it is better not to do it , because there are many cases in which the cainos like this end up being scam due to the fact that they cannot bear all the expense that comes to them , since they do not have capacity.

I often see sites like that that are clones of the main site, sometimes I think that they stand with one flag and one company but it turns out to be different, but I never touch cloned sites because it looks like they are not creative and don't have the talent to make the appearance of the site which is different from others in building a gambling business so it can be seen that they are not really safe because of course the security of our money is very important if the site is hacked.

Sites that have developed a lot lately show that the gambling business is really very profitable, which is why there are so many new sites that clone other sites to make it easier for other people to play and make deposits, at least get money faster, but most of them actually ignore security. their site, so it doesn't really look serious and it would be better to stay away from sites like that.

Looking at the requirements of setting up an online casino, the website design wouldn't be much of a concern. A legitimate casino has more problems to solve like getting a license, attracting multiple game providers, setting aside whopping amounts of money for paying winners, etc. The site may look cloned, but it's not, because of the back-end programming, that legit casinos would want to prioritize and customize to their taste. Most casinos I've visited have similar GUI or layouts, but that doesn't mean they all clone or copy from each other. I'd say that the interface is what is needed to portray the games they offer, live chats, partners, etc. Working with a different script or theme where the visitor would have to look for the qualities or factors won't convert the visitor easily to gamble on the site. Features are meant to be sampled first to attract the interest of the player to wager or deposit money. Mak013 is right, in his last line of words.

Once a site is registered and has a gambling license hosted offshore or somewhere in the USA, I don't think they should need to fear whether they're genuine or not. The gambler must research and gather information about the casino on review sites. Scam casino sites, to my understanding, do not bother about getting any license, they only get a clone of a famous casino and then do some ads and SEO to lure victims to the website. And this happens because of the fast growth of online casinos, as you said. Hence players are expected to gamble with aged online casinos and endeavor to do their research. Website template similarities have nothing to do with that aspect of recognizing scam casinos. Creating an online casino requires lots of money; millions of dollars. A casino wouldn't spend all that money to scam people and then miss out on the opportunity of staying in the market for a long time. When bathed with negative reviews all over the internet, the casino would fall and lose customers.

I think it is time you start noticing the design of casinos, especially for the reason of the safety of your funds. Some casinos are only there to make fast money and disappear and such could come with the cloned design of other casinos or with some errors. From this point, anyone who is sensitive will begin to suspect if this is a good thing or not, and from there, you might do your research that will eventually make you conclude on what to do. This observation has saved a lot whose money would have been taken just like that, and if the new casinos are not such that allow KYC, you should know for sure that there is something fishy. Even if there are still genuine ones without KYC requirements, for the fact that you have been suspicious already makes the one you investigate questionable. I often love it to trace it down to the regulation if they allow KYC and claim they are regulated. But the issue here is that it is exhaustive and most regulators are not so thorough in disclosing the companies that are regulated under them. While some people will have to wait for long for an official email response just to furnish them with facts. But in all, it is good to be observant of the site we play with aside from the functionalities, it goes a long way to save us in this current spate of them coming on board daily.

No, this is just how technologies evolve...

You get a pioneer with a good idea and they become very successful... then other people see their success and they start to copycat them. Some of them try to make a success of this, but some scammers also see an opportunity to exploit this, so they jump on the opportunity to scam people.

This is not just happening with online Crypto casinos.... just look at all the scams with ICO's and ShitCoins.

I don’t know what the conditions are for obtaining a gambling license from Curacao - is it necessary to disclose information about the founders of a legal entity, confirm the authorized capital and similar issues, perhaps it’s enough to just pay for the license. But finding information on the real owners of online casinos (legal entities) is very problematic. Such nuances cause mistrust.

Similar fraud schemes have appeared for a long time. Cloning websites of banks and online stores is used in phishing attacks. So Crypto as a whole is not to blame for the current situation.

The functionality of the casino is the most important thing and how easy and friendly their games software are also is what makes for what should be called a good casino and not the design,  because the graphic design may have little to nothing to do with the functionality and at that,  it's very ok to see some casino who may not have that 100% clear design but with excellent services coming up to make the most of the presence here since their tend to offer the best to their clients.

Most times, the majority of the scam casinos are the ones with the best design all to lure clients into their casino and for sure it will definitely attract them but in the long run, it will end in regret at the end.

I think this had been discussed in other set of threads here in the gambling section of the forum, if I recall correctly. Though, in my opinion, it makes sense the market of online gambling would reach such a state Among the small and new casinos seeking to have a percentage of this huge industry. It just take some minutes of insight in order to realize why the interface and the artistic work of those small casinos can be that lacklustre.
First of all, the most important part of a casino in technical terms is the reliability of the software and the code behind it, so a casino owner will try to use as much funds as necessary to invest in the software of the games and the casino itself, so he can securely admit people to gamble on them, due to this, the budget for the art and the interface of the casino gets pushed into a secondary position of importance which the owners of the casino believe/expect to be able to improve once they have started to make money off their operations.
It takes a more serious budget and dedication for a casino to pull off a visual state which could appeal to the average gambler from the beginning. There only small/new casino which appeared here not long ago and to me actually out much Medford into their interface and art was Neodice, though, I have not heard about them in the official ANN for a while, so I am not sure of the state of their platform, sadly.

Summarizing, when comes to new casinos, it is a little bit similar to seek for good news alternative coins in the market, there are a handful of gems hidden among a lot of rocks and sand.

This depends on the online gambling website that you visit.

While I do agree that there are tons of online gambling websites that have the same layout, outlook, and features, these "online casinos" are nothing but red flags for you to completely avoid. When you spot that such has similar features and designs to other websites, then that should be the sign for you to avoid it since it definitely has a high chance of being a scam.

While this may be the case, I do recommend that you try online gambling casinos that have been around for a relatively long time on this forum. If you truly want to experience a game that is entirely different, then I suggest trying out Rollbit's Duel Arena as it features a PvP battle in a gambling platform.

[Dunamisx]

Online casinos can only be uninspiring to us when we don't know or have an idea about them, if you want to gamble, then try to limit yourself to the boundaries of where you're more effective at, online gambling casinos are more inspiring than we had previously before their introduction when we all played using the physical casinos, except someone is not tuned to online crypto gambling that they may not find it interesting all because they were yet to understand the process.

[Pmalek]

I think it is time you start noticing the design of casinos, especially for the reason of the safety of your funds.

You have mentioned a whole spectrum of things here going from KYC verification to regulation and the safety of money. The style and design by which an online casino represents itself doesn't make your money safer or less safe. it's just eye-candy. Compare it with a beautiful woman or a handsome man. The one that is more beautiful isn't necessarily more intelligent than the less beautiful one. The appearance also doesn't signal a better character.

Everything is possible. I just want to match, that not all the clones are scam. Someone is lazy enough, someone wants to get lose new users copying the well-known interface, etc. Of course there are different cheaters.
As for me, i prefer well-known casinos if it is possible. And i`m lazy gambler, i don`t need something unique - i want stable gambling and lots of matches for betting.

But finding information on the real owners of online casinos (legal entities) is very problematic. Such nuances cause mistrust.

I also noticed that most owners of a casino don't have a solid online presence, but their staff does. Go on LinkedIn or other gambling review sites you see a good number of casino staff available to settle problems relating to their casino. They do that for PR and don't want bad publicity spreading around the internet about the casino. Hence it's very crucial to always look out for casinos who have the interest of their customers at hand whether on the site or outside the site. Like in this forum, there are many representatives ready to solve some allegations placed on their casino, if the player is right they'll work hard to resolve it hence not costing them another client or member who wants to gamble using the casino. Looking for the details of the casino owner on the sites of the license issuer can be cool, but what you'll get there wouldn't be sufficient. Obtaining the license costs some money and time, not every body would be able to get a license to set up a casino.

I think they'll have to present some funds to show they're capable of paying members, then work on a provably fair feature as a way of signifying transparency and that the house is not manipulating the results way too much. Although some casinos lie about this and don't follow the provably fair rules, players have to look into such features by trying to know if they are losing more often than usual. How do you mean legal entities in a bracket for the real owner of a casino? How does it pose a problem or cause mistrust, I'm not clear on that aspect. But, not knowing the full details of an online casino boss doesn't pose any threat. The law enforcement agency can reach to him if required or need, as he's not hidden, their details are available, but contacting them would be impossible for some casino users like you and me. However, not all of them chose to hide their online presence.

[Reid]

Don't trust them if they don't have any originality. An obvious copy can easily be seen and if I were you, I would avoid them. This can lead to scam attempts and who knows how much money they will take especially if newbies start using them.

They are taking the easy road which means they don't really have any developer in their midst, if not, they are trying to be cheap and just copy everything from a not popular gambling site so that they won't be sued by copyright or whatever case can be filed on them.
This are the types of business which purposes are short term, most of the time to steal money by preventing cashout by using the wager requirements.

[Dave1]

A lot of them seem to be hastily assembled clone sites with very little effort put in and gimmicky marketing. Do you guys have any thoughts on this... plague?

There could be some gambling casinos that might have hastily built or just close other sites, but we all know that this will back fire on them so doesn't make sense to do that. I mean if they are into the business of casinos then they know that it's a billion dollar industy.

And why one to get that slice is to make a good site, UI and feel is good plus good casino operators and slot games and everything that you can really find in a good and top notch casinos. And if we gamblers find some clone sites, for sure our first impression and not to play on it, so again, as I have said, it will rebound adversely against them and instead of making money, they will lose customers.

[goldkingcoiner]

A lot of them seem to be hastily assembled clone sites with very little effort put in and gimmicky marketing. Do you guys have any thoughts on this... plague?

I think the biggest reason for cloning is that they know that they are safer than sites which have been constructed from scratch. They have been tested and tried many times. If a hacker were to hack into a casino, chances are that it would be a custom one, not one of the clones. Although the fact that they are cheaper to procure is also seen as a plus for the website owners. That is a pro. A con is that they all look the same and it is hard to offer something which already exists in many places. I guess the marketing, UI/UX and community approach is what makes the difference.

Have you read the thread and not just the title mate? because your point of letting us gamble
still with small amount isn't applicable in this way because  that part of being Uninspired is like a copycat
site which means completely scam , because who is in the right mind that will create a site with no originality?
those are surely has no funds to start a site and yes using others creation to promote theirs and to scam people.
