Do review Sites Still help bad casinos?

[Sanitough]

I noticed that some casinos already have bad reputation in forums, many complaints, delayed withdrawals, even scam issues. But when you check review sites, they are still listed, just with low ratings.

For me, this is still publicity. Even with bad reviews, they are still visible. New players might still click, see the bonus, and register. Most people don’t really read deep.

Feels like some review sites only care about affiliate money. As long as they earn, they will still list these casinos even if there are already many complaints.

They say good or bad publicity is still publicity, and in gambling this feels true.
I think review sites should be stricter and just not include these casinos at all, instead of giving low scores and moving on.

What do you guys think?

You can't also see them get low rating, but you can also see on other less reputable sites that those proven scam casinos still 5 star ratings. If you asked if this is helpful for those bad casinos to still get new players which can fall as their new victim? Well yes, this could really helpful to them. Since not everyone is knowledgeable with the reputation of those casino. There are lots of people just research deeply once they have been scammed by those known scam casinos.

This is one of the reason why its not good to look for reviews on less known sites. Also people should know how to verify and double check those information they read to they can check carefully if the casino they are looking at is really reliable and have great reputation.

You would have given examples by mentioning one bad casino that you know and the site that listed them it will help some new gamblers and prevent them from getting scammed. Right now people really don’t care about the next person, they just want to make money and then move on, if the next person is scammed is not there business, and that is what those sites usually do now they really don’t give a fuck about the lost and damage that may come to the next person as long as they are making their evil money.
I love this forum and we don’t hide scam casinos in this forum so if you are in this forum using casinos with reputation here is more safe.


Let’s also try to read feedbacks, it can save you from losing a lot. Beware of manipulated reviews too.

[stadus]

Some users don’t really read feedback anymore, they’re more focused on the bonuses being offered. That’s usually what catches their attention first.

And honestly, I think some review sites are not that transparent. They’re the ones who sort, approve, or reject reviews, so they can easily control what shows up. If they’re getting paid by casinos, then there’s a big chance they’ll manipulate the ratings.

That’s why for me, I don’t really trust casino review sites that much. I trust the forum more, because people here are more honest and share real experiences, good or bad.

[bitbollo]

The real problem is ... Are reviews useful? Are people really taking care of it?

Similar this is going to happens with HYIP. There are monitors/platforms that list clearly SCAM sites.
Why they need to advertise/promote and for who? of course for other monitors/scammers... they should be aware of a specific issue... Sometimes these are the sites that offer THE HIGH RATES of course not casual.

Review sites don't care IMO, especially paid review sites. They're going to post a bs review and get their money regardless of the sites activity. You also gotta remember that not everyone knows about this forum and what a casino might have pulled here to ruin their rep here. If you see a site like 1xbit with a positive rep on a review site, leave your own review and try to get the word out about the scam site.

Can you name the casinos and the reviewing sites that you are referring to?

The reason I asked is because I do not check any reviewing sites, I only stay on this forum and know some reputable gambling sites easily without the need of any site for reviews.

I want to know if the bad reviews that you are talking about are like 1 or 2 out of 5 starts. Also the people  with the bad review are allowed to leave a feedback about the review? That should be enough reasons to let people know that they should stay aways from such gambling site.

But I know some reviewing sites that do not care, all they care about is money which makes them rate all the site the list as good.

I'll judge and view you as a badman if you still consider gambling in a platform that has tons of negative reviews and feedback from the community.

There's a reason on why forums are created- it is to spread review regarding a certain casino, whether it be positive or negative. Even if you argue that it's still "bad publicity", no one would ever consider investing in a certain casino with tons of issues. It's like you're giving away your money for free.

Like I mentioned above, there's a big difference between good and bad publicity.

In a platform where money is involved, having a negative review on a certain gambling website can definitely destroy their reputation and business. That's exactly the reason on why gambling casinos care for their reputation on the market.

[dimonstration]

Depending on the viewer but a negative remark will give a bad impression rather than good impression which means it’s not a good publicity at all if it was reviewed badly.

It’s user fault already to still play on those low rating casino despite having a lot of good casino alternatives.

Only fool will become a victim of this scam casino.

As long as a casino is listed on a reputable review site, most people will trust it. But there are so many review sites out there, and not all of them are honest.

If a beginner gambler visits those sites and just follows their reviews, they can easily get misled. That’s probably why we see many newbies here complaining after getting scammed, because they checked review sites first instead of coming here.

[cryptoaddictchie]

You’re not wrong OP,  visibility alone can still convert players, especially when a big bonus banner distracts from a low rating. From my own gambling experience, I’ve learned that review sites are just one data point and the real truth usually shows in consistent player feedback, withdrawal history, and how a casino handles complaints over time. At the end of the day, responsibility sits on both sides on the platforms should be transparent, and players need to dig a little deeper before depositing.

As long these review sites would be able to make money then they would definitely be doing it and dont mind or care about into people registering it and busting themselves just because of those known issues on which they might be able to avoid it if they were that sensible enough on reading up things then they would be able to know on what they are dealing. The only time that they would be making up some verification is on the time or moment that they would be facing up some issues but as long they arent that facing up some problems then they dont really care. Its important that you would be needing up to sensible at least into the things that you are reading online on which we know that it could be that having the possibility about being deceptive on which this could be resulting into disaster or facing up some problems. I dont trust up any review sites and i would rather prefer on reading up some real time feedbacks here on this forum rather than on sticking or relying into those review sites on which we know that those reviews could be altered out or be faked out.

If they only knew about Bitcointalk, they wouldn’t have to dig too deep just to figure out a casino’s real reputation.

You can already see a lot just by checking the ANN thread. If the thread is active and people are actually discussing issues, that usually says something. Dead thread, no real replies, that also says something. Just my view.

Maybe that’s what we should be promoting more. Most campaigns here are gambling anyway, so it helps if new players know this place exists before trusting random review sites. And another thing, review sites don’t have real gambling discussions like we do here. Here you’ll see complaints, feedback, even unresolved issues. That’s something you won’t easily find on those polished review pages.

This forum is already one of the most active crypto forums out there, so in a way that’s already promotion. We don’t really need to go out and advertise it on other platforms.

Anyone who spends enough time in crypto will eventually find this place anyway. And once they do, they’ll realize it’s more useful than most review sites when it comes to checking casinos and their reputation.

That’s why this forum is unique. We have gambling discussions, gambling ANN threads, and even scam accusations, so you can really learn more about a specific casino here. Just by reading the threads, you already get a good idea of what’s going on. And if you check the account profile of the people posting, that also gives you a hint about their reputation.

If you exclude low-rated casinos from your reviews, how will people (who are trying to understand what they're dealing with and checking reviews) know that a casino isn't trustworthy? A very strange proposal.
As for whether reviews work or not, the question is who's reading them. If a reasonable person reads reviews about a service, they'll be able to draw useful conclusions, but as we know, not everyone is reasonable  and not everyone reads reviews.

Review sites usually emphasize the high ratings casino over lower ratings casino such as Gosu.



The default filter is the high ratings casino is on the front while you will only see low rating casino if you browse further. Unless the user itself is interested on low rating that’s the only time they might possibly check those scam casino.

However, there’s some review site that fakes review which is the exception to my suggestion.

That’s a good idea, I agree with that. I’m just thinking about the other side of it as well since it’s part of the option.

If a casino is rated from low to high, it still gives the impression that it’s legit, just with a lower score. But if we’re talking about outright scam casinos, they shouldn’t even be included in the list in the first place. Giving them a rating at all might just make people curious and check them out anyway. Sometimes no exposure is better than putting them on the scale.

[panjul07]

In fact the main purpose of most review sites is all about affiliate/referral commission only and most of them do not care whether the casino is scam or not.
Of course there are some honest review sites that do something better than those that do just for commission or even paid review.
However, I do not really care about review sites as it is rare for me to visit them.
This forum is more than enough as a source to find review about casinos where I can also check myself if the reviews given in this forum is real or fake.

[lovesmayfamilis]

There are a lot of sites that pay for completing tasks. I think everyone understands how this all happens: there is an advertiser who is ready to pay for advertising on his site, and there will always be those who are ready to write reviews for which the advertiser will pay, of course, after checking and filtering out unnecessary reviews. Isn't that what we see on our forum, where you need to write a review? Advertising works the same way. And for those who are ready to play in such casinos, of course, it is necessary to check not just one site with reviews but to conduct some investigation. Those who are careful in their choice will always be ahead of those who do not want to engage in checks but only believe that their chosen casino is clean in payments and generous with bonuses.

[Findingnemo]

As long as it gives monetary benefits, they will not likely to ignore their names unless it is completely ruined and they will hide under that they are just leaving the feedbacks from the users to decide the ratings not by themselves.

I will not trust the google results when it comes to any kind of crypto platforms because most of them were featured results or paid articles not really the actual ratings or rankings.
