Do review Sites Still help bad casinos?

[Outhue]

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?

Review websites are all monetized, they are paid to show those results and reviews so don't expect them to be sincere about the ratings and others, this forum isn't getting paid for saying the truth, everything is based on how people actually felt about an online casino, if there is a slight unfaithfulness they will be called upon to defend themselves. There is no where that is more truthful when we talk about gambling like this forum, that's why it is not safe to use rating websites to pick online casinos.

You have made a very valid point. There is no longer a gambling platform that does not engage in review manipulation, as it exists in virtually every industry. Those high ratings and few reviews can be much more questionable than slightly lower ratings supported by thousands of users. Removal of negative feedback, paid reviews, and promotional bias made it hard to rely fully on review platforms. Affiliate commissions can also be used to further rank the operators in the casino space. This is the reason I am more interested in negative reviews and discussions with users in forums such as Bitcointalk. The actual experience of the players and the regularity of complaints are in most cases far more truthful than five-star ratings ever could be.

Actually, there is nothing else to do at the moment except to do this, it is not only in the case of casino selection that I do this, but when I start any transaction or purchase any product, I try to look at the negative reviews first and then later explore other things and decide whether it can be used or not.

And the reason for doing this is we already know that most of the online platforms currently buy positive feedback.  And another way is forum-based exploration, which we all know.

Review sites to an extent, as I've been reliable because from there, you can discover some reputable gambling casinos and those with red flags that cannot be trusted. This is because everyone independently comes to give their own review about their experiences using any of the sites. At the same time, an additional review from our own end is also suitable and advisable just to be more assured we are in safe hands.

Compiling ratings for various commercial organizations (including online casinos) is a good business! It doesn't require large investments, but it can generate regular profits. 🙋 This also applies to review sites.

However, promoting fraudulent online casinos is absolutely unacceptable! Ultimately, this will lead to huge reputational losses for the rating agency (website). And reputation is incredibly important in this type of business.

In my opinion, it makes more sense to make such ratings paid and rank online casinos based on their real, not fictitious, metrics. That is, honestly and without deception! Any online casino that refuses to pay for inclusion in the rating will not be ranked. Information about such an online casino will not be provided in the rating. Participation in the rating will be paid. In my opinion, this is a more or less fair (though certainly not ideal) system. Fraudulent casinos will not be represented in this rating simply because even if they pay the organizer, they still will not be able to rank high.  On the contrary, all their shortcomings will be exposed.💁

It's not in all the review sites that every individual comes to give their personal reviews and experience with a gambling sites, some of the comments you see in the review platform was done multiple times by the review website using different account, although they could also post reputable sites which people will discover but since they also post unreliable gambling sites means that they are helping those platforms to gain visibility.

Do people actually go to a review site on there own to give an honest review of a site or casino when they are not paid or scammed? Two things are the major factor that leads to people trying out a review site and it's usually that the person went through the process of scam or that the person was actuallly paid to carry out that review which is what's most likely the case with most of the reviews you see out there.

There should even be a penalty that's to be given to anyone that's found to be promoting or giving a false review of a casino or site that's fraudulent just because of selfish reasons or the pay that comes from it. In curbing negative casinos and reducing them to the lowest minimum, we also should consider taking out any account that gives a positive review to a fraudulent site regardless of the form it takes.

Sometimes when I buy products online, I like to look at the reviews first, especially if the price of the product is fairly expensive, unfortunately with casinos I don't do that. I visit many casinos but never look at the reviews, when I see the appearance and feel confident enough that the casino is good, I register and make a bet.
Actually, looking at casino reviews might prevent us from scamming casinos, but somehow I'm too lazy to do it. Moreover, if I'm cheated out of the amount I deposited I'm okay with it, because it's an amount I'm prepared to lose even though it's annoying to be cheated.

Trustpilot is among the most popular reviews platforms for most cryptocurrency gambling sites and other cryptocurrency platforms, what we can tell about them is that, their are paid to post those reviews cases like that have affected the sincerity of their review service, you can see some well known scam site's are having positive ratings on those review sites and you can't help but keep wondering how comes, that is the level of corruption in those reviews platforms.
Although we have a few good ones amongst them but also the bad ones, so it is left for you as a user to carefully make your own enquiry and only gamble on reputable well-known casinos only.

Yes, it can help. If someone is searching and is directed to a review site that, in a way, speaks well of a casino that, for example, has a bad reputation here on the forum, they will be misled, unless they do more in-depth research and don't limit themselves to just one source of information.

It helps both users and the casinos. So, if the reviews are bad then that assumes the users will avoid them upon reading those reviews. And that means it helps the users not to become another victim of those bad casinos. On the other hand, there are reviews that these bad casinos are purchasing to make them look good in the websites where they are being reviewed. But you have to figure that out if the reviews site is a reputable one or they're just a bunch of reviews that are nonsense and glorifying these casinos that paid for it.

Actually, in my case, I currently go through a similar process when choosing products and online casinos because fake reviews are not only seen on gambling platforms, but also on other product platforms.

Moreover, just by looking at the appearance, I cannot be confident that the casino or platform will not be a scammer. And here it is not only a matter of scammers but also a matter of their overall service review what can give me real entertainment with trying my luck.

But truth be told some casino with bad intentions like planning an exit scam can still  runaway with people money as we saw not too long ago with one of the casino that came here with such approach.

But on a general scale review do help the casino and also the gamblers themselves to actually check some of the features of the casino especially when the floor is open to actually experience gamblers that can sight out one or two cases of lagging features on the casino.

I don't think the casinos that are of bad reputation can have a stay or a hiding place from the review platforms, because those that are coming on board to write reviews are random users that have used their services and see what they are up to, do I know that some may try to engage on shady act by being manipulative, but the standard still remains that review sites at more reliable to an extent in doing what they stand to serve us by giving the adequate review of a given platform accordingly.

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.

Ultimately, casinos, bookies or any service in general which operates on the internet will always get feedback (whether they like it or not). Because it is pretty much impossible to police the internet and what people say or don't say on internet.
Also, it is a fact that gamblers and costumers in general are more likely to share their experience if it was a bad one.

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.

I agree with you that casinos that have a bad reputation, especially in gambling communities or forums, will not attract even the most discerning gamblers.  But I'm actually referring to those who gamble outside of these forums or gambling communities, those who are gamblers in general, who can also rely on those types of purchased reviews.

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.

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.

Many people don't have the time to review the casino sites they are trying to invest there money into, mostly because they have people who are on those site and believe in there system of operation.
Some pay less or no attention to the important of reviews the sites they are trying to use if it's secure for them or not.
