What do you want to see in casino reviews?

[Wind_FURY]

3. What should a casino review contain to make you read it?

I want to read actual reviews and experiences from actual people/admins working in the review website. Post about real user experiences, and update them to compare from past reviews if the casino improved its service/UX, or if it has gotten worse since last review.

Plus the people have currently become smarter. I suggest avoid using generic reviews that make it obvious that the "reviewer" didn't spend some time in the casino that he/she is reviewing.

I'm really interested in the negative points, problems that occurred and how they were handled, any misuse of player information, ToS abuse... Most reviews don't mention that and it's actually the most important thing these days. I want to know if people were being forced to go through stupid KYC requirements, like having all their documents translated to English.
I want to know what their withdrawal times are for small and large requests, if they're trying to delay this process.
I want to know how many complaints were there in the recent months and if the team was previously involved in any other casino project, especially a project that failed or scammed people.

Unfortunately most reviews are shallow and focus on the amount of games available, bonuses and all that, while it's more important to know that they charge you additional fees on withdrawal. I don't care that for every $100 staked I'll get $1 from them.

Such requirements are quite difficult to implement in terms of information reliability. Both in journalism in general and in casino/gambling reviews in particular, the authority of the reviewer primarily plays a role. No small independent reviewer can compare with a large publication; their reviews will not inspire commensurate credibility. In addition, the same can be said based on private negative reviews from gamblers - we do not know them and cannot fully trust the information received from them. Someone can whitewash one casino, and someone can denigrate its reputation.

A must thing to be done and this is why it wont really be that simple  on finding out those kind of platforms who do have this kind of standard when reviewing out on a certain site on which they do really reach out on a certain extent just for them to deliver out on whats good and whats really that bring that easiest to understand.

I believe that there doesn't exist a platform like that but I believe we may have such platforms if a few gamblers get support via donations from casinos or other investors to test out any casino of our own choice.

The gamblers then should be allowed to get some money for the reviews but no one should tell them the platform that they want to choose and when they choose a casino then they will get some deposit from those donated funds and the gamblers may use the funds to gamble on the casino of his/her choice.

The gambler must need to review the casino afterwards and in that way I believe a gambler would more like write a review without getting paid from the casino that he/she tested. That's the best way to have such reviews and I guess so far no such platform exist that does that.

In my opinion, reading online casino reviews can be a good and valuable source of information for us before getting involved and we also have to know the site's rating, but we also have to be smart and careful in assessing existing reviews. Because not all recommendations and reviews can be trusted and relied upon, and of course not all reviews are true, some are dishonest, and some are just made up and don't match the facts, are biased or fake.
However, reading it is also important, we also have to filter it and do research for consideration so that we don't get trapped in reviews that don't match reality. And all of this aims to find an online casino that suits our wishes and is also safe and comfortable overall.

The site's rating though should not be taken too seriously because some are biased on this.
You still need to dig on your own and assess for yourself if the site is indeed worth sending your hard-earned money.
Casino reviews are important to new players but they also should be conservative in giving too much credit for whatever they will read on the review.

[boyptc]

No bias reviews and just actual honest opinion would suffice the readers like me from these casino reviews that we have.

To cover all of those good and bad features that they have and the actual experience although it varies per user but it's good to gather all of those experiences whether they're good or bad.

That's why many of the casino reviewers here are loved for being honest.

1. Do you read casino reviews?

I rarely read a review casino if outside of this forum. because in my experience, sometimes the review on the outside it doesn't fit with reality because many users lost a lot write a bad review for the casino, and told all bad things. And some reviews outside also no clear refutation by the owner or other people who tried the casino, so it's not clear if that review is true or not.

3. What should a casino review contain to make you read it?

Just do everything as they are. so it helps for website development. User reviews are very useful to help casinos be better in the future. Let's make it what it is, So if it continues to be covered with good reviews, I think it will create bad relationships between the casino and the user.

I can say what i don`t want to see. Referral links or some marketing tricks that makes me to give some profit to review owner. I can`t believe that the review is truth in such situation.
The best review of any casino for me is the list of advantages, the list of games, KYC, withdraw/deposit restrictions. That`s all.

rating is just a BS way of tricking readers and gamblers , in the past this still works but not in our day now because it is already burned , even proven scam casinos mostly become top rank in many review sites which tricks and victimized newbie gamblers.

exactly , it is more easy to mention what we don't like than what we like.

KYC comes with Withdrawal as well because that is what mostly the problem , as when we need to withdraw the KYC will take part.

Referral links are OK in my opinion, as long as the review site makes it clear that you're going to sign up through their referral link, AND as long as the person signing up could also get a better cash-back deal/incentive if he/she signs through the site's referral link.

I believe many review sites are not doing that to get better margins from new sign-ups, but I believe if they did, they might scale their business and get more sign-ups even though they'll have smaller margins.

If you find and read reviews from sites, you may not find honest reviews because the reviewer may have a purpose in making that review. But if you read reviews from this forum, you will find honest reviews of the casino so you won't experience scamming. This will help you find the casino you are looking for so you will also avoid registering at a scam casino.

Once we find the casino we are looking for, we can make a list of them and check each one to find the one we want. The casinos we collect are trusted casinos on this forum so we can gamble comfortably. We can also group casinos based on our criteria so that we can have a list of casinos from top to bottom.

Yes that's true. Referral link is a boring thing because it only wastes users' time and never gets a big reward from it unless an influencer can collect huge amount of referrals by sharing the referral link on their profile.  And it doesn't work just by opening an account using the referral link, the referral must deposit and gamble.  So it's very difficult to get referrals because of this mind the process of earning through referral links is a waste of our time so it should not be in a site review I agree with you on this.

I'm not sure about casino reviews unless I play there in person. The ones I often play at are usually casinos with a long lifespan, they are much more trustworthy than new casinos. Please bring a little money to a new casino just to try or get the event. When I first entered the casino, I was always fooled by lots of fake reviews. Finally, I was convinced by my own reviews by jumping straight in. I know this is a risk, but I don't want to continue being exposed to unfair casinos.

Trying out platforms with the minimum allowed deposit isn't a bad way, but if there is a platform or a website that writes and publishes honest and unbiased reviews about each casino platform and all their features and services, that's a great thing because you won't even have to spend any time and you will know how the platform is and what you can expect from them. An honest and unbiased review can only be written and conveyed if the platform has been tried personally which means that it is a personal experience being shared as a review.

One should never trust reviews and feedback posted on websites such as TrustPilot because they can be manipulated. A single person with 10 or more email addresses can write that many reviews about a platform and they can either do negative or positive ones and that will affect the overall trust rating of the platform or website.

Don't review sites have a different kind of deal when it comes to referrals unlike the normal ones? And I think that the reason that they're not scaling it up is because the normal traffic in their referral link isn't that huge that they need to upgrade it. Or they haven't thought of it yet already, that's the only other reason I can think of right now.

Yes, they are boring. But what about the cases when review author warns readers that there is a referral link, and normal link can be found, for example by the end of review? What about the case, when the resource owner (web page) tests casinos with own money, and dont have ads on the page. Ref link are his only source of getting a reward for spent time. Also, when you put mouse over a link and see there is a ref link, why not just type page address in new tab without ref code? I see nothing bad in referral link if they are appropriate. But, if the page flashes with referral links like Christmas tree, then I support your opinion.

I also agree with you that these referral links are not really good many people think it is a way to earn money but they don't last long. If there is no interest in this referral then they will never want to do it. It is best to stay away from referral links when it comes to gambling along with time wasting and chances of getting scammed. If the casino has good experience then a gambler will find the game itself no referral link is needed.

Because it is not easy to identify good review articles, which is the reason behind the lack of sites interested in this sector, I was and still am convinced that the best reviews about gambling platforms of all kinds can be found here on the Bitcointalk forum. The gambling section of the forum includes a significant number of experienced members whose profiles prove their integrity.

Also, many casinos are interested in launching a paid review campaign, which always contains honest reviews that are monitored by the community and subject to constant criticism. These evaluations are important for the platform to help it develop and identify loopholes and shortcomings, and at the same time help users get to know their systems before experimenting.

Will agree unto this since here we can see real people having discussion toward what they experiences on the casino they tried that's why its more good to seek for reviews or feedbacks here since we can get more genuine information or ideas posted by people. Compare to those review site where everything there can be manipulated just like other people say and will agree to them since we see how a scam casino get a 5 star review from them that's why I don't usually check those kind of site when I need to figure out something on a casino especially on their reputation.

Review campaign is one of the reason why we can't see any legitimacy of those reviews written since we don't know if they are a member of the campaign and write those reviews just to get paid.

[Dunamisx]

Review campaign is one of the reason why we can't see any legitimacy of those reviews written since we don't know if they are a member of the campaign and write those reviews just to get paid.

If you look closely, most of the review campaigns participants were randomly selected from various ranks and people from other signature campaign, all these were done just to have the best reviews from the members who have used their platform and experienced it, same way those making promotion of any gambling campaign is allowed to make contributions across every other gambling thread, announcement thread or discussions thread.
