Do review Sites Still help bad casinos?

[Z-tight]

If those services are not listed in that website, where people can read reviews about them and decide if to play or not, how would they know that they should avoid the site. Not everyone is on this forum, so many people depend on those websites to get reviews about casinos and even the bad services should be listed there, so that potential customers can see their ratings and avoid them completely.

But when you check review sites, they are still listed, just with low ratings.

I think you have already answered your own question by the line above. If the casinos' ratings are low on review websites, how could such websites be helping bad casinos? They are exposing the casinos are bad choices, so if a gambler still goes for that platform in particular, it means they are careless over their money and safety. It's not the review website's fault.

Actually, it would be worse if those casinos weren't listed on review websites, because then we would have a false impression they could be legit, since there wouldn't be any information available about them on the internet.

Yes you are right. But nowadays many reviews are available for purchase. But we always have to look at some things with caution, such as how old the casino is and how their transactions are. For example, how long it takes for withdrawals and deposits. Especially if you do not look at online reviews carefully, do you know if there is anyone around you who has used this casino? If someone has used it, you can take a review from them about how the casino is. However, not all online casino reviews are bad.

You have a point. But there are times reviews are not accurate. I think this has become a problem for many businesses like Airbnb and hotels. When it comes to gambling sites, this could also be a competitive gambling site that creates a marketing team whose purpose is only to put bad reviews on a reputable site. I mean, that could also pull down their rating.

So, I think it's best not to rely on just reviews. Going deeper into researching a gambling site is a must. Let's not forget, we are going to deposit money there, and we should always be careful when it's about money.

What do you guys think?

With all the scam accusation complains from users outside and in from this forum about 1xbit you will still find them listed casinos in review sites. 1xbit is not a casino that should be seen in reviews but how is that you can still sight them in review lists.

Reviewing sites are part of the problem and they are the one that are making new players to become victims of bad casinos due to the level of lies they write about bad casinos on their platforms, and I don't think this would stop any time soon as mite reviewing websites are coming to limelight. Gamblers are advised to make use of good reviewing sites if they want to switch to a different casinos they don't have knowledge about.

No defense on the part of reviewing site as part of the problem cause it is what I agree with before now but commenting on users making sure to use good reviewing sites, what are those good reviewing sites? You could have mentioned one to two of any you are aware of base on their review history. It will help make clarity for some of us. Cause for me I do not give attention to review sites dew to how nearly all the review sites I have known are rather making the rating base on commissions received and the rest are dormant with outdated reviews that can be misleading for new gamblers.

The essence of review sites is to help us know the available sites and the newly introduced platforms, what others have experienced about using them and have to say concerning them as reviews, i don't think review sites helps the bad gambling casinos, because we have a number of review sites and they can always be rest assured to give report about casinos accordingly.

When I started gambling more than 3-4 years ago, most of the time I used to create accounts on new sites based on the reviews of some trusted review sites, but I never got scammed. Still, now 90% of casino review sites publish fake reviews, so if new gamblers make a deposit based entirely on those reviews, they are the victims of scams. that's right review casino sites can give you a lot of information about a new site, but they tend to rank their websites as scam sites and good ratings when you pay them a large amount. I mean, most casino review sites are biased now.

Most likely negative reviews scare off most people with a working brain, and only the biggest idiots decide to play in places like that.

I mean isn’t that what the review site is all about?.. yeah you can’t eliminate the dirty part completely
Bad reviews equal bad publicity, taking them down totally reduces evidence even though gamblers can still research further for other negative yet it mixes positive reviews from other angles aswell ..

I would say confirming some numbers of evidence should strip out all positive reviews until it’s been resolved..that’s quite better than taking them down entirely.

The way that you wrote your post kind of implied to me that the generic bad publicity is still publicity ideological mantra was being applied here. Maybe you wanted to say something else and not that, nevertheless that actually does work in certain cases and scenarios, but it does not work in the case of gambling. As I said, one would have to be pretty dumb to go to a 1.5 star restaurant when a 4.7 star restaurant was right next door with both having thousands of reviews each. Don't get m,e wrong, there will always be exceptionally stupid people who do these sorts of things but overall bad reviews in this sphere do not generate publicity that creates customers.

The review sites are acting like shillers these days. They will never post any bad review to the site that paid them. So the relevancy to use the review site these days is almost non exist. It's all due to how it can be manipulated so easily. It's the reason people are not using the review site like trust pilot, and etc.

In fact, unbiased casino review site is already gone, and it's never exist. What we have seen is just a bunch of marketing business with 98% fake reviews on it. Trusting casino review site is the same like you have been fallen into promo pages dressed up as analysis to the casino.

And it is different on this forum or other places how? You basically have an army of 3rd world pajeets saying whatever positive thing they can write the fastest about the casino that they are required to write. Not every signature campaign asks for posts, but some strongly encourage it and that is what is happening. On the other hand you also have many corrupt and established members, including fake signature campaign managers that will do whatever it takes to preserve their source of income. Everything aside from explicit scamming goes here, so in the end nobody from this forum is allowed to criticize those websites unless they are equally critical of this place. Less hypocrisy is healing.

Of course, such things still exist, and most review sites use one kind of paid promotion as a secondary way of getting casino sites on their review lists. And this is why we see good reviews about a casino platform even after seeing negative reviews about them in various communities when we go to those review sites.

So I don't always base my decision on just one review site, but rather look at multiple review sites and at the same time check the reputation of those casinos in different gambling communities and then make a final decision.

[kawetsriyanto]

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.

Ratings on review sites are often quite easily manipulated. If it's on certain sites, it's undeniable that fraud can occur, with people paying and instantly receiving good reviews, even 5 stars, without any issues. Worse yet, there are certain accounts that intentionally spam these casino reviews. Yes, but they're fake, to cover up their true weaknesses. In this case, if you encounter a case like this, especially on this forum, and it's proven, it's better to avoid it than to get into trouble.

Agree with this. Because, in reality, many people use paid services to rate certain sites to maintain their appearance of professionalism. Therefore, when visiting a site, it's pointless to only look at the site's reviews.

It doesn't seem entirely true that all review sites are fake. Yes, many sites now give biased ratings for affiliate income, but still if used properly, you can get basic information from them, such as payment methods, bonus conditions, etc. For me the problem is not the review sites, the problem is that we often assume them to be the final truth, In fact they are also a marketing layer. It is natural that casinos will pay money to promote them. Personally I think if someone does a little research on their own, especially by looking at the ANN thread of this forum carefully and then playing. Then they will get rid of fake reviews to some extent.

One should apply this with everything to be honest. These days all kinds of reviews on all kinds of platforms are dangerous. If you look at an online shop like Amazon, it is much more risky to take a highly rated item that has a few reviews over one that has a somewhat lower rating but thousands of customers. There are all kinds of manipulations happening, from positive paid review to the removal of negative reviews as often happens on Google Maps for example. Even the big guys are abusing their platforms to defend shady corporations, so why wouldn't smaller platforms that have a direct financial stake do it? The key takeaway should be to apply such an approach to everything in life, but unfortunately not many people do these things. They don't even look at the ingredients of the food that they are buying in a store, if the label says that it is healthy they take that for granted and believe it.

Well, there isn't really a case in which someone would need to be in a rush to pick a casino to play at. There is no justification to do it that way. Especially if the money that will be utilized will be significant, then the user should spend considerable time before selecting a casino. To some of us it may seem quite easy and the choices may be obvious, but you have no idea what search results some average amateur users is receiving and how their mind works.

I believe that both of you are correct to a certain level. The review sites have not been totally useless, but they are no longer as reliable as before. Most of them work primarily on commission fees, thus casinos that pay higher are ranked and rated higher. It does not necessarily imply that all reviews are fake, and that is the reason we should not consider them as the ultimate truth. They are still able to give the simplest information such as how to pay, license, and bonuses. Nevertheless, it is always good to do more research, such as reading ANN thread posts and actual user reviews before placing the bet.

If those services are not listed in that website, where people can read reviews about them and decide if to play or not, how would they know that they should avoid the site. Not everyone is on this forum, so many people depend on those websites to get reviews about casinos and even the bad services should be listed there, so that potential customers can see their ratings and avoid them completely.

Review sites are complete disaster nowadays and I don't waste my time going through them cause they're mostly reviews that doesn't come from experience but from paid actors manipulating the system. With money you can get whatever rating that you want poeple to see.

Replying to the Op- it doesn't help, they're mostly false testimonies

You are absolutely right, completely right because I myself have one time in 2023 or so, participated in a campaign off this forum where we were being paid $20 every week to post good reviews about a crypto exchange and give them five star rating, we are about 10 people in number on this mission, and to make this look very legit, each week one would have to sign up a new account on the review site and drop a new good review on the crypto exchange page and also give five star rating, there was a manager who checks and makes sure the task was properly done before sending the money to all who did the task well..

The review site was trustpilot, that incident is one of the major reasons why today, I don't trust any review I see on trustpilot because the potential or chances it's a paid review is very high.

That really sucks on that case, but well for the sake of money then participants would do the job on which considering that 20 bucks per week is something that considerable for some people. I do agree on what you do said that anything with these review sites isnt something that you can fully trusted because feedbacks and reviews could be faked out even if those users arent that real ones and just simply posting up some positive comment for the sake on making the site looks good even if its not. The best thing on what we should gonna do is to find up some real time feedbacks and reviews specially if its a crypto based casino or sites then this forum itself is the best place for you to look up some information. If you cant find one then you can just that simply asked out the community and they will be giving out their own insights and feedbacks on which this is something that you can make use to make up your decision whether you would be proceeding on making use of them or not.

I don't trust any review website or platform other than BTCGosu because I believe their reviews are mostly authentic based on what I have observed after going through some of the reviews of some platforms that I was doing some research on. Other than that, I don't think there are any authentic review websites available these days. Some people use or trust ratings on TrustPilot, which I think is the worst of them all because ratings on TrustPilot can be easily manipulated because one can create and hold multiple accounts on the platform and then use those accounts to either give high or low trust rating to certain services to increase or decrease their rating.

I also think that people should take feedback from public forums like this one about casinos and stuff because what you get from people in a public discussion forum will be completely authentic in most cases because they have surely used the platform and are giving you their honest feedback, and this forum is even better for that because those with good trust ratings will barely give false feedback about a service or a platform.
