Before you use a casino check all this to avoid getting scammed.

[SuperBitMan]

We have a lot of casinos that are scam, before you use any casino make sure you check all this to avoid getting scammed.

1.  Valid License:

Before using any casino please do well to check if truly the casino has a valid license. Some people usually show off a fake license so it is your duty to check if truly the license is a valid one.

2.  Check for Player Reviews:

You can check this forum and other trusted review sites to know what people are saying about them, and if people are complaining that they are not receiving withdrawal, and they are banning people’s accounts suddenly and rigging games, then avoid that casino please.

3.  Check secure Website Connection:

Please check if the website of the casino starts with https:// and also shows a padlock icon in the browser. If it has all this then your money and personal data are encrypted and safer.

4.  Read Withdrawal Rules:

What you should do is to carefully read the casino withdrawal rules so you will know there minimum withdrawal amount, there withdrawal processing time and lastly there bonus wagering requirements.
Those scam casinos usually hide this information so they can manipulate people easily by there useless explanations.

5.  Trusted and popular Payment Methods:

Any casino you want to use check their payment method, make sure that they are using trusted and popular way of payment, if they are not just avoid them.

6.  Customer Support Test:

Before you use any casino please make sure you contact their customer support and ask them some questions If they respond slowly or vaguely, it’s a warning sign.

A lot of people don't read through the withdrawal rules of a casino and at the end ot the day they start saying that the casinos are not worth it but that's not the case, every casino has a withdrawal policy, yours is to read carefully to check if it suites what you want in a casino because that's the time you can decide if you are actually going to start making use of the casino or not, this is very important.

To be honest, the first thing I check before creating an account at a casino is reviews of the casino all over the internet. If I see that the casino has many negative reviews, then I don't create an account and I don't waste my time looking at other things about the casino like its license and Terms of Service.

I think you shouldn't ignore it when there are many people accusing the casino, even if they are comments made on review sites where people don't post proof, and I don't take the positive comments seriously. I only focus on seeing the number of negative comments and what the points of the accusation are.

There’s already a white label license available as package when you purchased a casino setup that makes it easier for scammer to setup casino. Many scam casino has valid license and all the feature that you mentioned even the most notorious scam casino 1xbit, that’s why they manage to attract victims since they look legit.

Trying new casino nowadays is high risk of being scammed especially if they are offering a too good to be true bonuses.

Checking feedback is always the right call but this is not helpful for new casino with limited reviews so I usually just wait until they become established before I start playing on them.

6.  Customer Support Test:

Before you use any casino please make sure you contact their customer support and ask them some questions If they respond slowly or vaguely, it’s a warning sign.

Checking the availability of support is something I always do when trying a new casino. It's just that sometimes you still come across casinos that claim their support is 24/7, but in reality, the response is very slow. There are even casinos that provide bot replies for frequently occurring issues. But for other questions, they respond via email, which of course takes longer. This doesn’t mean they are bad, but there is a shortfall in terms of customer service.

[Finestream]

That’s a lot to read and research, and honestly I’m kind of lazy when it comes to that. So I don’t really try new casinos anymore. I just stick with the old ones that have been around for years.

For me, that already says a lot. If they survived that long in this tough competition, it means they’re probably legit and have a decent reputation. A casino won’t last long if they don’t have proper licenses and systems in place. So I don’t really bother checking too much anymore. Reputation is what matters. And if a casino can survive at least a year or more, that’s already a good sign for me.

[Orpichukwu]

Is there any means you know one can use to verify a casino licence online? As all we could see is the casino adding to their page their licensing authority or the reg number, it will be nice if someone knows how to verify that licensing.

have not really noticed any strange deposit patterns in the new casino; they are always more focused on crypto deposits, which are all the usual ways, but that does not make them clean from scams.
……

Another thing you should add is casinos without a defined policy, like the last one, which just existed with players' money. They don’t have any rules about what could be considered bad by the casino.

Another set I try to avoid are those casinos which promote themselves as no KYC, but their policy is saying otherwise.

A useful reminder. Although all this is generally well-known. Except that I haven't been paying much attention to reviews from gamblers for a long time. There are many biased, customized, or completely false ones among them. These are the inevitable costs of high competition in the gambling business. However, this applies not only to casinos, but also to other online platforms. For example, customer reviews on marketplaces are very often biased.

This should get a sticky in this forum with known scams and potential fraud gambling sites listed here for warning newbies.

Provably fair policy should be checked out too, for understanding how the casino operates in terms of handing out wins to the players. Casinos that have no winning percentage for gamblers should be avoided at all cost, at least 2% of winning possibilities should be made available for players.

Truth be told all this things you just mentioned, are things we should  look out for in a casino, before gambling with the casino. But you should also know that, casinos with the intention to scam users, can manipulate all this things, By fooling users with fake or misleading license. Just same way we where fooled and scammed by betmoco, Who claim to licensed and regulated.

Casinos can also fool user, through fake reviews. This one is common, some shandy casinos pay people to do fake review on their platforms, just to convince people that they are legit, while are not. So before using a casino find out if the casino is a reputable one from other forum users.

Casinos can also manipulate their withdrawal section ( withdrawal trick) you see casinos advertising themselves online, that their withdrawal is fast and reliable no delays just to attract customers, and after customers must have registered and deposited on their platform, and then place  bets on their platform, and luckily won.  Immediately,  customers initiate  withdrawal the casino will start doing some funny funny things. Things they never mentioned during their advertisement. Just the way betmoco manipulate everything till they finally vanished with users funds.

There are still others way casinos use in fooling customers, we just have to be very careful, if possible stick to casinos you already know they are reputable Ones, to avoid getting fooled and scam, by  shady casinos.

People with their luck on gambling site, you may be gambling on a particular site and have luck not to get have any issues while there are other person who may sign up that same site today and start facing issues. The thing is, before using a gambling site you should first pass verification and also make sure to check the reviews as well to know if that particular site has a better review before venturing into that site to make account. To me I wouldn't mind forum rated site, for instance a gambling site that is mostly rated by forum members before using them because those are the real people facing issues over here their rating could tell more of the site.

[Ronsbit]

OP, your list is quite alright, and I think it is a quick one for every gambler who wants to register and deposit with a casino to take their time to read all through these points you have made here. However, I think it would be nice if we also include regional restriction because this is very important as it is the first guide to determine if a player can register on the platform or not because if it is clearly stated that ones region is restricted or prohibited. They go ahead to deposit, their funds is gone and some people do not really take their time to look into this aspect of ToS before proceeding to register with and some casino too do not put it intentionally because they know many players do not bother looking out for it. Maybe you should include it in the OP so that anybody who visits your thread would be able to see it and be conscious of it whenever they want to register with a casino.

You have just spoken the facts about the mistake most people do once they newly create an account, it is normal that every association that doesn't have rules is likely to crash anytime soon, as a gambler you have the every right to focus on the rules that govern any casino that you wish to stake money with because in these life many people are just out there looking for who to scam, so once you carefully review all the policies and you feel like it doesn't suit you don't stake on such casinos, and i know that we need money so much and at the same time will should be careful on the kinds of stakes with.

2.  Check for Player Reviews:

You can check this forum and other trusted review sites to know what people are saying about them, and if people are complaining that they are not receiving withdrawal, and they are banning people’s accounts suddenly and rigging games, then avoid that casino please.

Players' reviews covers on what a good or bad casino should be. If you are a new casino player, you will miss something, and experienced players' reviews will show what you've been missing.

There are casinos that look good on the surface, but people will not see the whole picture unless someone has played at the casino, explored everything about it, and shared their input. So I take players' reviews seriously.

[Oluwa-btc]

A valid and legit casino promotes these criterias and that's why it's important for you to do a research about a casino before playing.Never rush, always check the casino's legitimacy before depositing and uploading your sensitive informations,because it's s going to protect you from unnecessary losses and chasing unrealistic quick wins.

[Sticky Bomb]

You've got some great points but honestly I wouldn't even be trying out a new casino anytime soon. I'm good with the ones I  patronize already.
It is more important to me for a casino to have a clear terms and conditions and an active community where they interact with users like those who have ANN threads here on the forum. From there I can see clearly if they are doing well or not and how they treat their clients. if there are lots of unresolved complaints against such a casino, then it is not ideal for me and I wouldn't try using it.

[BitBakerr1]

SuperBitMan all your points are very valid and I love them. This is a very good awareness. We all knew what happened recently in this forum, a fake casino called Betmoco scammed a lot of people, I believe when you want to use a casino, especially a new casino. Try as much as possible to do some research about the casino to know if truly, it is a very good casino that won’t scam people, the things that was mentioned or listed out by SuperBitMan should be checked very well before using any new casino, because a lot of all this casinos that are now coming in are scam they just want to use casino to scam people. I think casino is now there new strategy of scamming people, and everyone should be very careful. Do your research very well.

Make sure you first read the gambling site terms of service. On the TOS, I read the restricted countries, their KYC policy, the use of VPN and some other things, but these are the three I read while most of other things are the same on most gambling site but I glanced through it.

6.  Customer Support Test:

Before you use any casino please make sure you contact their customer support and ask them some questions If they respond slowly or vaguely, it’s a warning sign.

This is easy to say than to be done. Do you think it will be easy for the customer care to respond to all the users that are registering? I do not believe people are doing this because if I do not have any issue, I do not contact the customer care of the gambling sites that I am using unnecessarily.

Is there any means you know one can use to verify a casino licence online? As all we could see is the casino adding to their page their licensing authority or the reg number, it will be nice if someone knows how to verify that licensing.

Those who issue licenses to these casinos usually have a list of officially licensed casinos under them listed on their website.
For example, most casinos nowadays have license under CGA (Curacao Gaming Authority); you can visit CGA's website, find their list and verify the casino's license.

If it's not listed there (yet the casino claim they have CGA license) or if it's listed under a different company or casino, then, chances are that casino are scammers.
