How will I know I'm playing on a reliable online casino site

[Kavelj22]

I understand you until the point where you contradict yourself. You might want to clarify what you meant by "I don't follow any site to choose casino sites" and "I choose a reliable casino site based on their reviews." For me, you will have to follow sites if you would review casinos as you can't do it all by yourself.

I believe you missed the part where he said "I only use the casino sites on this forum" 
What he meant is that he only trusts reviews posted on bitcointalk.
Anyway, I advice him to be also careful about reviews he reads on this forum as some casinos hire shill accounts or create new accounts in order to write fake positive reviews.

I think he means casinos that have managed to achieve a good reputation over a long period of time, especially platforms that run promotional campaigns on the forum such as longstanding signature campaigns and betting competitions. All of these platforms have a good reputation and I believe the best crypto-based platforms are represented here on the forum.
In addition, members with a good reputation run casino review sites such as casinoguru and casinocritique, which can be trusted at some extent.

I agree with you that all reviews should be treated with caution regardless of their source, but at the same time I cannot deny that the forum is the best space to get honest reviews. It is more effective if the person is at least familiar with the mechanisms of the forum and the features of its use in order to be able to distinguish between the different reviews.

Well 😁I thought it was just me and a friend who knew that most casino that know about this forum usually give users from this forum some special kind of treatment..
Some time back, like about 3 to 4 months ago, a close friend of mine had an issue with a casino that has an announcement thread on this forum (i don't want to mention their name), he was having kyc issues, where the casino won't allow him to withdraw until he passes the kyc verification, but the casino kept rejecting the document he submitted which was his Nigerian drivers license, the casino asked him to submit a passport after initially requesting a national ID card or a drivers license, he kept on chatting with the online customer care trying to explain to her the he does not own a passport, and getting a Nigerian passport is very expensive and takes alot of time for its issuance, the online customer support simply stopped replying.

That friend told me about the issue and asked if there was anyway I was going to help him, me know that the casino is  present on this forum, I told him to tell the customer care that he (my friend) was proceeding to create a scam accusation against the casino here on bitcointalk, surprisenly after about an hour or so, the online customer care replied and said they have accepted my friend's drivers license and that he can then resubmit his withdrawal request 😁.

This goes to show that almost every casino on this forum value their reputation and do not want anything that would taint it.

These are things that usually happen because they are quite frequent in casinos that demand data unnecessarily, it is like bothering the player, with a driver's license it is enough to say that a person, apart from the inconvenience that it means to give data to a platform, has to demand it, in this aspect I consider that having a passport is expensive also in my country, sometimes people are not aware of such a thing, when there is money to spare there is no problem, but if you Win in a casino the least is that the casino pays, because when you lose one as a player does not demand Additional data from the casino.

Good day forum members, please as a newbie how do I know a reliable online casino site that offers great experiences and promotions.

And What methods or resource will I use to quickly verify the credibility of a platform before playing?

Great experience is an individual thing. You have to visit casinos and check their user interface and the functionalities. If you like the time you spend there and find it user friendly, then be assured that you have found a casino site that offers great experiences.
Promotion is also an individual thing but be careful with it, you must check the terms of promotions before you get too excited because many times there are very beautiful offers shown but behind the scenes, you need to wager too many times. But sometimes you'll find great promotions with great terms.

Focus on trust, gamble on casinos that are active on this forum and take trust seriously. This way, if something happens, you'll be sure that with the help of the community, your problem will be solved.
You'll quickly verify the trust of casino by checking bitcointalk profiles of their representatives on this forum. The greener the trust, the better.

You would really be able to determine on a good long running casino specially if you've seen their signature campaign had been running for how many years already on which this is something that you could really be able to trust on. Although it wont really be that totally 100% safe but its better rather than making yourself dealing up into those platforms which are new and doesnt have that sufficient legit feedbacks.
It would really be just that needing up your own common sense whether you would really be that trying out to test those new ones or would be sticking into those old ones? Its not really that hard to distinguish
in between two things. All you do need to do is to find out those community feed backs and advises plus having those additional research in regarding about its reputation.

If you wont really be that getting satisfied then you could really be able to make ask question into the community in regarding on a certain platform on which you could really be somehow assure yourself
that you would really be getting legit feedbacks and warnings if ever you've been mentioning some shady sites. You cant hide anything from this community and this is really indeed the beauty of it.
On the time or moment that you cant be able to make yourself getting satisfied with those words then deal up on something with your own discretion.

This is a sound logic if we take into account the registered users on the forum who have experience in how to use social platforms. However, given the number of visitors who find the contents of the forum through a simple search on the Internet, they may be confused about the type of opinions they will find, and I do not rule out that they may find official announcements of new casino platforms that are still under testing by experienced users or even old platforms whose representatives are no longer active on the forum.

On this basis, I find our discussion now very useful and rich, especially if someone wants to find the right way to benefit from the ratings on the forum and avoid falling into the traps of scammers.

• Check if the casino is licensed,
• Check the reviews on credible casino rating websites,
• Check for open scam accusations against them,
• Check the website layout and design; if it's a quick copy and paste, avoid it.
• Go through their ToS,
• Go through their socials for authenticity and community interaction,
• Check how efficient their support team is in responding and fixing issues.

All of these does not guarantee a casino is reliable, so always start by playing small amounts and withdrawing regularly. Gradually increase this as they prove to be more credible.

Thumbs up.

I do have a problem with online casino licenses, because you really can't tell if they are truly licensed, you can't ask any online casinos to provide proof that they are truly licensed so its a free run that any online casinos, either scam or real can be licensed or not.

Let me use 1xbit for example, this is a known online casino scam in this forum but if you ask them for license they will just keep claiming that they are indeed licensed, and it is against their rules to show anyone who isn't part of a regulator firm or something, I bet you understand what I am trying to say.

So for me, license is off the table for gamblers like us, there will never be any real proof shown to gamblers.

- Plus check if the casino is vouched by the campaign managers, who have high probability of trustworthiness, of BitcoinTalk through their signature campaigns. If there's no signature campaign in the forum, ask the high-ranking members here who are also members of signature campaigns. They are incentivized to tell the truth because lying would risk their removal from their campaign.

You are wrong on that. You have the right to ask any service provider about their license and there is no reason why they would refuse your request.
Actually, most licensed casinos have a digital seal on the bottom of their main page which allows you to verify the validity of the license and get more information about it just by clicking on it.
So, if a casino refuse to provide information about their license then you can assume they are liars. 1xsh*t is not a reference.

we should ourselves have to feel first how to place bets on an existing platform to determine whether the casino is indeed trustworthy or not, although other people can give advice about casinos that have a good reputation but that does not fully guarantee because maybe it can be trusted but it will not necessarily make us comfortable but considering it first must be done because there is nothing wrong with considering it first.

we will have our own trust in the casino that we have visited by also placing bets, by placing bets on the casino that is visited then we ourselves will feel how comfortable the casino is that is visited. the process by process that occurs we will feel when we have placed bets at the casino, but seeing reviews might make us believe that the reviews do have positive value.

It's true that we should try first, after being given advice by a predecessor who played on the platform in question, getting input but not trying is the same as lying, just wasting the time of the person who recommended it, if we feel that the recommended casino is uncomfortable, we can give our opinion to the person who recommended the platform, right?

Sorry but I will have to disagree wit you on the basis that giving advice, or recommendations is not the same as commanding, or forcing.
You can recommend what ever platform you like to someone, and that person surely have the liberty to either go ahead and use the site, or decide within himself not to use the site, this decision is completely at his discretion and he or she can decide to either tell you about his decision, or may also decide not to tell you, specially when he or she is unsure of how you will take their turning down your recommendation.

So, overall, as an experienced player or so, you can recommend what ever platform to other players, but don't expect them to take your recommendation serious, and don't also expect them to get back to you with their decision, it's not like it's your right to get feedback from them and your recommendation.

I mean, communication between those who gamble on a casino and the casino staff itself has always been considered to be one of the most important aspects / characteristics when comes to knowing how reliable the casino itself is in general, that is why it is perceived as a positive feature. It is even more applicable when the mean of communication is not only the typical social media accounts we already know: like reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook or Instagram, but also this forum. In my experience it is easier to spot when a casino is shady and when it is not, thanks to the kind of meritocracy and healthy community we have here. There is a good reason scammy casinos and bookies are quickly exposed and expelled away from here and that is good for all of us

Yeah.  I completely agree with you that the fraudulent aims of the casino are indeed immediately exposed by experienced gamblers who write a corresponding warning here on the forum.  And if you consider that many forum users very seriously value their rank on the forum and their reputation in the community, which many of them have achieved over the years by communicating with other users of our forum and receiving merit, then it is immediately clear that such authoritative users will almost never misinform others  , write lies or false information about the casino.  So, yes, the quality of studying the topics of a particular casino on the forum provides a lot of truthful and objective information.  Unfortunately, I believe that relatively few new forum users register on the forum now, much less than, for example, in 2017, but I hope that many people simply read the topics about casinos and the Gambling section general without registering.

The rate of new people registering in the forum may have much to do with the format of forums being considered to be out of date when compared to how social media works nowadays and the millions of users which are attracted to cryptocurrency by a vast amount of influencers on the internet, though, I believe those who are truly interested in the history and the future of Bitcoin will eventually find this place and create an account in order to interact with us. As crypto gambling grows as well as an industry, more people will find appealing to discuss here with us, just not in the same numbers you already do in the official forums of the casinos their play on, Stake has its own forum, for example.

This is definitely true, since the use of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in Gambling is growing at a much faster rate than regular payments for gambling in fiat money.

As for registrations on our forum, I don’t care, even though many Internet users really consider the forum format outdated, nevertheless, the number of registrations on our forum is still every month and is listed in several hundred new users, maybe even a thousand registrations. And naturally, some users are looking for information about Gambling and even about specific casinos. And the relevant topics in which currently practicing players usually write are definitely objective and full of valuable information for new players. And this information, by the way, is usually very fresh and corresponds to the current state of affairs of the casino itself and the relevant, current rules or their changes.

Yes and maybe it can be said like the saying that the real experience is when you try to do it, whatever it is, because that way you will be able to feel the advantages and disadvantages according to yourself, because usually everyone is different in terms of making judgments.
For me, I usually first look for information from some of my gambling friends regarding trusted sites and usually the first thing I do is make sure that the casino site is really trusted by looking at its reputation.

After that I also saw some reviews from gamblers who had been subscribers there for a long time and then I tried to allocate a small amount of money for the trial stage

[virasog]

These are things that usually happen because they are quite frequent in casinos that demand data unnecessarily, it is like bothering the player, with a driver's license it is enough to say that a person, apart from the inconvenience that it means to give data to a platform, has to demand it, in this aspect I consider that having a passport is expensive also in my country, sometimes people are not aware of such a thing, when there is money to spare there is no problem, but if you Win in a casino the least is that the casino pays, because when you lose one as a player does not demand Additional data from the casino.

You mean that winning in a casino should not bother the casino and they do not hesitate to make your big withdrawals, if you find such a casino, then it means that you are playing at a reliable casino. While they may be true to some extent, but there are casino who do selective scamming and try to scam the gamblers intelligently.

Some may have manipulated algorithms in their sites that won't let you win. Others may delay withdrawals or scam only elective withdrawals so that the general impression of the gambling site remains good and they can scam for a long time with the same site. I think one needs to play for some time before concluding whether the casino is reliable or not.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think one needs to play for some time before concluding whether the casino is reliable or not.

Yes, or see the reputation, the ann thread and maybe see a lot more like the reviews that some give, all that helps, to save yourself all the research or something like that, it is best to see the reviewers, of course the most reliable ones, but that is not so simple because for some a casino is better because there are more games or because they are always at the forefront of things like having the best contests or the best bonuses, for me a good casino is one that does not put obstacles in your way to withdraw the money you win, and that respects the rights of the players , which there are many here in the Forum and that are an example for many casinos.

Good day forum members, please as a newbie how do I know a reliable online casino site that offers great experiences and promotions.

Great experience is an individual thing. You have to visit casinos and check their user interface and the functionalities. If you like the time you spend there and find it user friendly, then be assured that you have found a casino site that offers great experiences.
Promotion is also an individual thing but be careful with it, you must check the terms of promotions before you get too excited because many times there are very beautiful offers shown but behind the scenes, you need to wager too many times. But sometimes you'll find great promotions with great terms.

Focus on trust, gamble on casinos that are active on this forum and take trust seriously. This way, if something happens, you'll be sure that with the help of the community, your problem will be solved.
You'll quickly verify the trust of casino by checking bitcointalk profiles of their representatives on this forum. The greener the trust, the better.

Yep, the picture of trust builds up with some check-ups both on the forum and other platforms, and only afterward can the decision be made, you are right.
Temptation from different promotions shouldn't be the key factor

Moreover, having studied all possible information sources about a new casino for you in advance, it is probably best not to rush headlong to play, stop a little, suppress the feeling that you have realized and understood everything about this casino. And once again shake out in your head and memory the information that you have gleaned from these sources. And also try to systematize them somehow so that at the right moment your memory brain would quickly tell you the right answer. For example, I would wait at least 10-20 minutes after reading all these sources, digesting what I have learned. And only after that I would start playing. But of course you want to start as quickly as possible, in no time, as they say.
So to stop, you naturally need self-control to the extent that you can do this. Not everyone has it. And then the game can become too confusing and chaotic.

If its a crypto based or related then there's no other place that you could be able to check up but only this forum. You could be able to search up various informations on which related into a certain platform.
If you cant be able to find up information then you could always have the right to make out some questioning the community in regarding on a sites legitimacy and this is something that you could do anytime or as you do like when you do like on verifying things. This is why its really that recommended that you should really know at least on how you would really be gonna doing things according into your observations and would act out on what are the viable things that you must do on the moment that you are really that making out such actions. Its really that up to you.

When it comes to gambling review sites then these are the two i do trust.

Verify everything and this is something that you must do specially when you are really that dealing up with sites which do involves money or simply making deposit.
You are the ones who would really be that responsible with your actions and if you wont really be that careful then you are really that putting up yourself on such big trouble.
Just read up peoples feedbacks and opinions as these things are really that important so that you would be wary at least on what are the things that happening around.

Wow! What a nice answer and guide to the Op. The Op can follow up your recommendations to know a legit casino site but the knowing a good casino review sites these days is hard because all the once I know now are bias except forum. So I will add o e to your list that the Op should check the casino he is interested to have fun with in the forum how people have talked about it in the past and in the present or if possible he can create a thread on those casinos and see the different answers from users in the forum. The best website to review a casino without bias is the forum.

[uchegod-21]

I think one needs to play for some time before concluding whether the casino is reliable or not.

Yes, or see the reputation, the ann thread and maybe see a lot more like the reviews that some give, all that helps, to save yourself all the research or something like that, it is best to see the reviewers, of course the most reliable ones, but that is not so simple because for some a casino is better because there are more games or because they are always at the forefront of things like having the best contests or the best bonuses, for me a good casino is one that does not put obstacles in your way to withdraw the money you win, and that respects the rights of the players , which there are many here in the Forum and that are an example for many casinos.

One of my major criteria to measure reliability is longevity. A casino who has been in the industry for more than 5yrs might likely not scam you. This means that a very new casino might likely scam you. But then, in search of other qualities to strike a balance. You'll begin to look at the method of registration, reviews and the rest of them.
I believe in giving new casinos platform to excel but we do it with carefulness because if EE continue patronising the older ones, the industry might be affected.
