How to choose a reliable casino

[Altryist]

I think this topic can be especially important for beginners who are just starting their gambling journey. The importance lies in the fact that newcomers can often end up on fraudulent sites and most likely face problems with withdrawing funds. To avoid this, I’ll highlight the main aspects you should pay attention when choosing a casino to play in.

Main criteria when choosing a casino:

License from an authoritative regulator.
Although I suspect that very few people think about this when they start playing, the first thing players usually check is reviews. That’s why I’d put reviews as the second most important factor.

Player reviews.
This is probably the first thing we look at when trying out a new casino. Try to find independent platforms with real reviews, look through casino ratings, and pay attention to complaints about payouts, hidden fees, account blocks, etc.

Payouts.
It’s important that the casino clearly states payout timeframes, minimum and maximum limits, as well as available withdrawal methods. And of course, many of us expect crypto to be included in this list.

Game selection.
Beginners often just look for their favorite games, but the more games and reputable providers a casino offers, the more it shows the casino cares about its reputation. The availability of live dealer games is also a strong plus.

Customer support.
At the beginning, it might be difficult to test how good the support is, but at the very least make sure it’s available 24/7. You can also check how quickly they respond, but it’s better not to bother them without reason.

Casinos to avoid (Red Flags):

• No information about licensing.

• Hidden or unclear withdrawal conditions.

• Promises of guaranteed winnings, or very high bonuses with unclear terms.

• Poor or non-functioning support.

Important before registering:

• Always read the Terms and Conditions. Even if it looks too long, don’t be lazy, go through all the points.

• Don’t deposit large amounts right away. Your first deposit should be more of a test.

If experienced players can add to my points, I'd be grateful.
And if you have any experience to share, how do you choose a casino for yourself, you're welcome too!

As long as I am on this forum, this forum is enough for me to know trustworthy gambling sites.

Don’t deposit large amounts right away. Your first deposit should be more of a test

What if you deposit small amount of money and nothing happened and you like the gambling site and you decided to deposit high amount of money and the money is seized?

I gamble with small amount of money and I have not problem with no gambling sites till now.

[cryptoaddictchie]

The best way I guess is research here in forum since this is the hub for most gamblers. Almost all legit payout casino site has been making moves to be here and creating reputations among users.

Typically if they have signature campaign to boost their users and trust. Later on they will be known and quite famous like most casino site here.

[Odusko]

The safest way to go about this is to gamble on gambling sites that have a well established presence here in the forum and sure go through them reading others comments and complains see how they resolve Cases and how they treat they customers, because even gambling platforms like 1xbits have license and very popular off forum but yet their are scammers so licensing alone is not enough to gain trust.

Actually, if you are a forum member as well as gambler, this forum alone is indeed more than enough to know if the site is reputable or not. Because if you are very familiar in this forum, you basically know which casinos are worthy or those casinos which have existing complaints. Of course, as a player, you won't play on a site where there is existing complaint or scam accusation. This is why, the easiest way to check is the trust summary of their respective rep here in the forum. By now, most gamblers who are also forum members know how to determine if the site is trustworthy or not and most of them are playing on the sites found in this forum.

Player reviews is a good way know of the casino is reliable or not. But then again, for a new casino, it's hard to gather that type info since, well, they are new and there isn't much player feedback that you can read through.

Another thing I would check is the design and structure of the platform. There are plenty of new casino nowadays that uses similar template when it comes to their overall designs. Sure, it may not be a very big deal to others but think about it, if a platform that's supposedly, would be able to handle thousands to millions worth of bets a day can't hire a proper designer to make their site standout then that's a red flag (again, at least for me).

Speaking of payouts it's possible to experience smooth transactions without delays at that beginning of using that casino but after a while you start noticing delays in the time frames and pending transactions based on issues that you don't understand. The point you listed under important things to take note of important things to notice before registering, starting with low amounts as your stake, some people register and immediately stake high only to find out that the withdrawal process is complicated

I totally agree with you, mate. This is the best reply in this thread.

Google, unfortunately, can't give you a proper answer, but this forum can.

I completely agree with you. I think this forum is perfect for selecting a reliable casino, especially those that have a good partnership with our forum. We can also see the latest information on specific casinos, and we can even see honest reviews from real users, this is a better reference than relying on external sources, which potentially can be manipulated. Personally, I have never had any problems with the casinos that I have tried on this forum, especially those who have partnered with. So, I think this forum is a great source of information for choosing a trustworthy casino. We can even discuss specific casinos here, and some users are willing to share their experiences.

I mean I can't be part of a forum where hundreds of signatures have come, stayed with either a good or bad reputation and left, but then still get confused on which platform to gamble on. What's the point of signature campaigns? Anyone can just look around as there's a bunch of truth worthy casinos!

I don't know what else they always want to achieve by scouting for casinos abroad, but when their winnings are locked and their accounts are restricted for no definable reasons, they share their problems in here...

The Google algorithm, if you search through it, to find the most reliable casino; they will only suggest based on the review and what others have suggested, even from paid and sponsored reviews. This forum at least will give you options with both the casino's past and present issues and how they handled them, and personal reviews from forum members who have used the casino personally.

Ensuring support is available online at all times is indeed important. I also do this for new casinos that interest me. Even for casinos listed on forums, I have come across those that claim that support is available 24/7. But in reality, it is not like that. It doesn't mean they are bad, but it might not be comfortable if you encounter a problem with the casino and support is not available with the expected response.

[Justbillywitt]

Just pray you don't fall victim to these fraudulent casinos, because there has been cases of some casinos that has all these qualities/ criterias that you have listed above yet they turned out to scam people. Casino can be good initially and at some point ownership can change and things that weren't happening with the casino in time past suddenly starts happening. At that point both pros and beginners can be victims.

Well said, this is a great community not only about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies but also for gambling. We have the threads specifically done by the owners/staff of the casinos directly and so, having feed back is important by the other users posted on their threads. Some have scam accusations and it also helps not just us but also them to resolve the issues that have been faced by their customers for them to improve. It's hard to trust on the new casinos but, it doesn't mean that they won't be trusted after they have built their reputation here and outside the forum.

[danherbias07]

Read the terms. That's very important. Before, I didn't care about the terms. I just started the game and played without even thinking about what I got myself into.

I think you got it all covered on how to choose the right online casino for a gambler. The other things will come when the gambler starts gambling, like withdrawal and deposit speed, which cannot be seen on paper. Or, we could first ask gamblers who have used the service, so we will have an idea of how it goes.

I sort of disagree with you here. My 2 first google results are sponsored links, and after that rest that rest of them are very shady looking review sites i have never heard of. They might as well been paid to give 5 stars and there's no guarantee that those high ranked casinos wouldn't own those sites.

Other links i get are reddit posts, and that site is notorious for being used to spam ads that are meant to look like real posts.

Only sites you can trust are forums that aren't moderated for having different opinions.

I gamble with small amount of money and I have not problem with no gambling sites till now.

Relying on this forum is a very good choice because here players interact directly with casino representatives and if there are any problems, they always get a lot of responses from other users so that information is much faster and unedited. Many casinos falsify reviews just because they want to get good reviews from rating sites.

No matter where you gamble, as long as you are prepared to lose the amount of money you are betting, you won't encounter many problems or experience excessive emotional stress. So, use a small amount of money for your well-being.

actually not everyone do this because some people do not mind whether the casino is regulated or not some of them even prefer having casinos unregulated because it means it’s non kyc

Player reviews.
This is probably the first thing we look at when trying out a new casino. Try to find independent platforms with real reviews, look through casino ratings, and pay attention to complaints about payouts, hidden fees, account blocks, etc.

i think the most accurate reviews you can get is not under the app but in forums like this one because anyone can just leave a review and they can be honest about their experience

[DaNNy001]

This is very educative and it can help a lot of people begin their gambling journey...These are the benefits of being on the forum because you'd get access to informations that can save you from making careless mistakes...A lot of times we say that reviews is one of the important things to look before choosing a reliable casino but I don't really think that is the only thing that should be taken seriously, some casinos pay people to drop fake reviews

[Beparanf]

Being reliable means the casino has the feature that makes the user experience great including instant withdrawal, active live support 24/7 and consistent with their bonuses without any shady ToS.

Many already pointed put that casino review is the best way to find out all the casino qualities but what if the casino is just new here in the forum?

When casino is new, I always check their marketing strength and social media presence since there’s always a review about this casino from other people outside the forum that match to multiple review.
