How do you see a gambling review website that has its own gambling website?

I am asking this question because, for me, there could be a possible conflict of interest here.

As a review site running its own gambling site, there might be a concern that they could potentially undermine their competitors on their website to boost their own standing in the competition. This could involve making biased or false statements to praise their own website.

While I'm not certain if this is happening in the real world, it raises the question of whether you would trust a review website in such a case.

One bad thing.

They make their casino and have good ratings. A review casino should not have any connection to a casino, because the credibility of their review can be questioned by everyone/user. I never use any casino-review.

I more like it from user review especially in thread, reddits and other.

I know that there are many trustworthy casino review websites, but I don't rely on them for information. Before approving any gambling platform, it is important to do your research. It is not proper for a gambling site to have its review site, this is because the gambling review site will only publish good things about their own casino while it will only show the weaknesses of other competitors. They might claim to be unbiased but there will still be some level of partiality. I will not trust such a review site because it will be used as an instrument of propaganda.

It's just bad optics. It would still come off as a desperate attempt to shill their own platform even if their review of other casinos are fair and objective. Imagine Domino's giving out ratings to Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. They wouldn't give them a higher score than their own for obvious reasons so think of how would they look like in the eyes of regular pizza eaters.

[stomachgrowls]

Pretty obvious!

If their new site does have that more stars or bigger ratings compared into those old/reputable/popular sites that we do have in the market then it is really that obviously that they are just
simply trying out to boast up their site and giving out those reviews to be that on the positive side. For us gamblers that have already that experience and awareness into this crypto space in related to
market and we could easily point out on which one is legit and which one is new.

If thats the case, then people would really be losing up trust into them considering that they do have a review site plus their own gambling site
but they are misleading out people that they are good and trustworthy. They would really be just simply breaking their credibility.

I think in this case, there could be biase in judgement that is the casino could possibly review another casino in a bad bad just to promote their own casino. They can not be a judge in their own case so therefore, it is best they stick to their review or they face their casino business otherwise they are going against the ethics of professional engagement.

In some cases, they might even recruit reviewers to talk bad about their counterparts in strong competition with them just to discredit them and make them look bad ii n the eyes of gamblers with ill intentions of getting more traffic to their casino.

In all, I think it is unethical to engage in such because as a review site, it is expected that they remain neutral and fair I judgement as it relates to their activities.

How can a gambling site has a review site. People should not use such gambling site at all. Only what I believe is that the gambling site will want to ack like Binance that bought Coinmarketcap and having their exchange at the top for people to see. That is the reason I no longer use Coinmarketcap but using Coingecko which I know is not having an exchange. About gambling site too, I can not believe in their review.

[Outhue]

That's not good, casinos are good at marketing their casinos with lies about winning the jackpot, how can they at the same time doing reviews on casinos? It's simply going to be full of lies.

I don't see lies from casinos as a red flag, there is no way they will attract people if they say the truth, they need to craft some lies about how gamblers can easily win some money, that's why a casino can never say the truth about gambling, it's bad for business.

Many gamblers are still thinking that casinos have the best for them in mind, the truth is casinos need to see you lose so that they can keep their company or business alive and running, your losses brings them the income they so desire, that's why you need to only gamble with your sense, don't risk more that you can afford to lose.

I haven't seen any online casino with a dedicated gambling review site yet. Do you know of any, OP? Are they active, and do they have their announcement thread on this forum? If we encounter one, we can scrutinize the reviews closely and look for signs of bias. The biggest concern is bias and false statements to boost the reputation, and it's inevitable to question the credibility of the reviews. Ideally, they should provide unbiased and honest assessments of various gambling platforms, promoting transparency to ensure that the reviews are fair and objective.

[decodx]

You raise an excellent point about being cautious of new gambling sites that seem to have suspiciously positive reviews.  It's wise to approach them with skepticism rather than take all the shining testimonials at face value.  More established, reputable platforms tend to have more balanced feedback.  It's best to look for reviews from multiple sources and to evaluate the overall reputation of the review website before making a decision about which gambling site to use.

While I'm not certain if this is happening in the real world, it raises the question of whether you would trust a review website in such a case.

I haven't actually seen that before.  Maybe others have.  I think most people can sniff out the real user reviews from the fake ones.  But if you know of a specific example, share it and let's take a look and  could help others from getting scammed.

I've never seen a review site have a gambling site, although there may be things you're worried about that could happen, such as creating fake reviews and ratings to increase the positive reviews of the gambling sites they have, but in my opinion that won't happen in the real world because there are so many people who are smart enough now to know which reviews are fake and which reviews are genuine, I personally prefer to look at the reputation of the site rather than looking at gambling sites from review sites.

As a general rule, any kind of review website should be impartial- this means that they should have absolutely NO connection with any platform they try to review.

For example, if a gambling platform has their respective review website, then they will definitely have natural bias against any of their competitors. I mean obviously, who would undermine their own business to the advantage of others?

Unfortunately, this is what is happening to what you just mentioned OP. A gambling platform that has their respective review website can potentially be biased to the prejudice of others. In conclusion: avoid that review website and gambling platform.

That's it. That's the only way you should see it.

Casinos are not SEO-friendly at all, and Google likes to kick them off in various regions at the request of governments. Therefore they heavily rely on advertisements on social media and other websites to get people to play on their sites. How is a gambling review operation supposed to survive on such a site? Not to mention the conflict of interest issue which you hinted about.

Talking about gambling industry reviews, review websites can be trusted and cannot be trusted, some review websites are paid to post lots of positive reviews, because the reviews written can be deleted and so on, I'm not saying the review was dishonest in writing, but the fact is that it happened.

For me, there are not many guidelines on review websites if you want to play and register at an online casino, I tend to trust more in the experience of people who have played there for years, for me reviews are not the main benchmark in assessing whether a casino is good or not.

Not fan of these review sites and I only follow the genuine one but tbh I'd say there's nothing wrong with it as long as they're not reviewing misinformation along with other websites or should I say their competitors. Of course always give them a benefit of the doubt considering they're running of what could make them stand and what could harm their competitors, but you can distinguished a genuine review to a sloppy review.

Do we have a casino review site that has its casino please tell us what review site/sites is or that so I can unfollow that, it's questionable if a casino review site has its casino even if they do not review their casino they will make it a point to give their casino more exposures or anything that will give them an edge in the competition, a casino review site should be independent if they have association on one casino as part owners they should exclude that casino in his review site and let other review sites give it a rating

It's tough to review a platform where you are a part owner, whatever review you come out people will criticize you, so to avoid this don't associate yourself or do not own one, or better pick which one you should have.

What type of review site?
There are types of reviews based on the personal description or experience of the author (site owner) and can't be commented on by visitors, the author may be paid to carry out the scenario you suspect.
If it was a user based review site say like trustpilot, I would look at the moderation levels. In fact, there is no casino that is truly clean with a 1 star score.

[Crypt0Gore]

This is pretty hard to believe, next time when you see such things you should also share the link and let's see for ourselves, if this is possible I believe that such casino is hurting itself, because normally review platforms are not always trusted, they do a lot of things to get money so that they can put good reviews online for readers, how can same people run a casino? You see where this is all wrong?

People like us for example will prefer to walk away from such nonsense, because it's obviously not a trust move at all, so the platform will start writing it's review for itself to make it attractive to lure in readers?

Gambling is gambling and casinos don't or won't ever come out and tell you that you will lose more money than you will win in gambling, doing this will scare customers away, the best advice they can give is to gamble responsibly, without going too deep into details.

I had to quickly check one gambling site that I know of that usually drops articles on sports and tips on how to gamble if they also have a review page but it turned out that they don’t.

I don’t think that’s a good idea in the first place, having a review site is more like showing people various sites that they can choose to use for that specific purpose and if a casino therefore decides to implement a review page then it’s same as showing their customers sites that are far better than theirs to choose from, because there’s no way they’re going to be the best in the list of their reviews unless they decide to be partial in the review.

[BABY SHOES]

How can a review site have its own casino site, if it did they would give the highest rating to their own casino.

But so far there hasn't been any casino reviews owning gambling? I don't find this unless there is something hidden behind it, even I myself don't believe in any review sites and just look but never a recommendation for myself.

More precisely because it has been in the forum then it is enough to know which casino is good and that I will stay playing there.
