Which casinos operate under no license?

[Strongkored]

The only casino I know of that is not licensed is freebitcoin, but their reputation is bad at the moment, so players should probably be wary of any potential bad things happening to them.

Off the top of my head I could name a few already.

Just-dice.com, Bitvest.io, bustadice.com, bustabit.com, swcpoker.club

Many of these sites are very old and have been running for years without stop. Generally they have an ok reputation. But what they have in common is that none of these sites runs under a gambling license. Do you know more such sites?

I just found out that some of the casinos you mentioned are not licensed and of those I have only ever played at just-dice.com, and crypto lovers who have been involved in crypto for a long time must have played at just-dice because this is one of the old casinos and it's quite amazing that they have survived for long time.

Often unlicensed casinos have limited games, so players will eventually go to licensed casinos.

I didn’t know those casinos you mentioned had no licenses. I don’t even get why they don’t have it; it will add to their outlook of the casino and show that they are doing the correct operations and protocols when operating a casino.

This made it look like they were unreputable because they had no license. To me, this matters.

I was actually thinking the same thing as you also,I had Bitvest on my mind because have been seeing it as a reputable casino that has every necessary regulative policies to be registered and licensed.
Despite it,some users have commented that it has a solid reputation influence and wide range of users too.It could still have lapses,but they're proposed to be different from the others.

This is an honest, sad truth about the Curacao master license holder that provides a gambling license to online casinos, and this is also why some gamblers see a casino with a Curacao license as a no-go platform.

I did a quick search, and it seems the licensing process has been challenged multiple times in the past. Some people claim the licensing has no legal basis while the related parties are corrupt. Some legal battles also claim that the government actively denies requests to ask for more details related to their licensing process[1]. CMIIW.

Btw, it seems like the Curacao license will change in the near future[2]. I don't know enough to comment about this but it seems like we'll easily find the responsible individuals under the new licensing rules (assuming the process is done correctly). But yeah, if a casino has enough reputation that they're reliable, they don't need it in the first place.

I don't know if licensing has no legal basis, but based on what I read years ago about the Curacao master license holder, they seem to have rules and regulations every casino must follow, which protect the interests of the casino and its users. Suddenly, everything changes; that casino that operates with their license has the freedom to do as they please, and I believe this could be what triggers the belief of people that licensing has no legal basis.

I also believe things will change in the future.
We gamblers  have different beliefs, some gamblers don't like casinos that's not licensed while the casino's genuine services is the main focus of some gamblers

Betpanda is a well known casino and they do not have a gambling license as far as I'm aware. Like many casinos that are unlicensed they choose to incorporate in Costa Rica where they do not have strict regulations.

There is not much difference between licensed and unlicensed these days. Having a license from some exotic location isn’t going to make a casino any more likely to be held accountable.

Being inspired by a discussion that erupted after I posted asking "What's even the point of licenses anymore?"

I think it's a good opportunity to make more of a direct question to try and find out which GOOD casinos actually have been operating under no licensing scheme at all. Of course there are hundreds if not thousands of casinos that run online without a real license, or pretending to have one that is actually fake, only to scam people. But I'm making this thread to ask about casinos that are not known to be out there with the intention of scamming everybody.

Off the top of my head I could name a few already.

Just-dice.com, Bitvest.io, bustadice.com, bustabit.com, swcpoker.club

How did you know that they are not running on a license? I will like to know how you get this information, and also I won't be surprised even if they have no license because who knows them? Yes they have been running for some time already, the attention isn't just there yet.

It is only online casinos that aren't popular manages to stay hidden with no license, no one will come after them, so all they can do is stay under the radar, and operate quietly.

Truth be told, they are only shooting themselves in the foot, because they won't be able to grow bigger without license, they choose to operate quietly and the consequence of doing so is lack of attraction, many people won't know the casinos.

Bustabit and Bustadice are licensed casinos, they both hold Costa Rica licenses, bitvest and 777casino are both unlicensed but they have been advertising here since 2014.
There aren't many unlicensed crypto casinos because almost all of them advertise on Bitcointalk or at least have an ANN thread here and as far as I'm aware, some casinos got red trust or neutral trust on their account for not having a license.
Btw the only safe and trustworthy crypto casino that I know is l0tt0. They don't have a license but the owner is a very good guy.

In the end this is what counts, that they are casinos that are trustworthy, that do not cheat and above all that do not scam people, I imagine that things are like this because they want to maintain that particularity, those unlicensed casinos in the near future for me will be very attractive to gamblers because they offer different things, and as you say, if it is a friend of yours or is a trustworthy person then that gives rise to it being trustworthy in the end.
