Do review Sites Still help bad casinos?

If I talk about the 1xBit casino from a long time ago, they had a negative reputation on our forum, but they also captured a huge market due to their huge promotional activity on other platforms, especially social media and through celebrities.

This platform is no longer that big or relevant, actually casinos are giving way too much relevance and money to this website compared to its actual relevance on the market. Most crypto users are not on this forum, most even don't know it exists. So don't be surprised that negative reputation that does not stick across other platforms does not have a lot of effect as some would hope.

The presence of review sites is, in fact, a fortification line that is impervious to unfaithful betting websites. Actual user experience will give an objective image that is hard to be manoeuvred by casinos. Although there are efforts to conceal the blemishes using synthetic reviews, with repetitive data on the services by a number of different users the actuality will be known. This critical review of reviews would save us on the deceit of sites of lower quality.

User experience does not give an objective imagine of anything, it gives a subjective image of things. If you simply go towards believing the users on whatever they claim, then total chaos will ensue as users will be able to destroy any casino with made up stories.

If I had to choose between review sites and this forum, I would definitely trust more the guide of people here than a bunch of anonymous people with no reputation.

You are in the minority of internet and casino users with this, and it is for a good reason. As far as money-oriented corruption goes, this website is as bad as any other website except completely scam review websites. Don't deny it simply because you are also making money here.

If you end up finding a bad website and on the review websites they are promoted, then just check here, you will get the honest truth about it. Either the topic of that casino itself would be filled with bad comments, or if they are not allowing that then you could see scam accusations page and the trust of that account suddenly crash when they scam.

It is only bad for people who do not use this forum, because outside at review websites we can see manipulation of the ratings easily.

There are also fake stories and fake scam accusations here. All kinds of people come so there is all sorts of things happening.

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?

To me, eliminating this Bad casino platforms entirely from review site is not the best, I think when you see a casino site with low trust score, that is enough reason to tell a gambler that site is a no go area because of their poor services, when it's being deleted entirely, it means gamblers will not be able to read and know they are poorly rated and will still go ahead to make use of the site. The worst part is when a betting platform is not doing well, and a review platform is rating it very high or giving such platform high trust score, that is corruption, and is another way of luring gamblers into gamble with the wrong platform. It is also very necessary to expose any gambling site rendering weak services here, so that gamblers will remain very cautious and abstain from using such gambling site.

I feel your pain, but I do not believe that an out-and-out ban on bad casinos on the review websites is the solution. An extremely low trust score of the platform with visible complaints sends a message of caution to players. It is true that that transparency can even help gamblers to make bad decisions. The actual problem lies in the fact that the review sites are unfairly rated highly although there are severe issues. There should be no hiding of delays, scams, and any unresolved issues under the guise of honest reviews since affiliate commissions should not have any effect.

A ban on bad casino platforms would do the exact opposite of what the user thinks would happen. People will and do occasionally stumble upon these casinos for whatever reason, and they may have some very lucrative offers that will turn their brain into denial mode full of hopium. They want it to be real, and with absence of strong evidence that the bad casino is malicious they will often go the way of blind faith. That means that after doing some basic research online and failing to find information about these platforms, such as on review websites, they will proceed to play on them anyway even if there is no information that they are good casinos either. It is people like this who are hurt from stupid ideas and decisions such as banning bad casinos from review platforms, even though it is their own fault in these cases. And anyway, the idea does not make sense at all. Who is going to enforce it and how do they mean to force some review website to comply with something that isn't objectively better to begin with?

Someone could just spin their own review website that includes these casinos, and nothing would be accomplished except a diversion of traffic from existing to new review platforms.
