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

[giammangiato]

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

I would add that just one of these things that is not convincing (starting with slow or vaguely responding customer support) is enough to be avoided.
Anyone who approaches a platform, be it a casino or other platform in general if they don't check the MINIMUM necessary to avoid scams will cry after the consequences.
The top priority is always safety, if we leave the door open for thieves it's our fault.
Great way of informing new users and it also happens that old people make mistakes.
Sometimes the rush to start playing makes us overlook so many things, privacy over company policy, and so many other things that could backfire on the end user.
Waste our time BEFORE reading and informing you, that after the time to try to recover what has been lost it will be practically useless.

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.

Just to add, checking player reviews can sometimes be manipulated, which means we need to verify their veracity with trusted sources. Well, I know that review sites remind their reviewers to provide reviews based on genuine experience, but that doesn't mean they are immune to fake reviews, right? Therefore, I advise anyone to be careful when reading reviews, don't be gullible, and instead, look for other references, whether from other sites, or from this forum. Personally, I trust user reviews on this forum more about a casino, because there are many experienced users who write reviews, and many also include proof with each review. So, I actually feel reassured when a casino is reviewed by experienced users and never has a bad reputation on its account. Cmiiw.

To me where I pays more attention is withdrawal; at least if not for anything casino should be that faster in confirmation of funds be it BTC withdrawal instead of delaying payment. I could remembered a gambling site I used here, their minimal withdrawing amount was like very bad since I wasn't able to withdraw 30$ amount in BTC. And even their confirmation took days, and even their support was nothing to rate about this entirely makes me to dislike the casino.
Instant withdrawal, and less kyc restrictions gives gamblers more Joy to always use the gambling site, if there were to be kyc they should be that makes it less hassle for people to access their gambling site.

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.

This is important and I don't joke with it although I heard that some fake  casinos pay people to post fake reviews but this can't outnumber the honest reviews or negative comments. if you really intend to make use of that particular casino then reading only the negative replies is tha best thing to do. positive comments can either be fake or just randomly made up for different reasons.

How about being advertised or promoted via signature campaign here by some known forum users?

Well, it may raise some eyebrows to some but I guess it has some influence if it's getting known here day by day. It may raise legitimacy questions considering we've had some casino before that became scam after some time.

For the signature campaign case, the campaign manager has a big role to play before accepting any offer from a new casino that's why you see some of the new casinos running some reviews to make forum users to check out their services before they launch their campaign officially. Having some reputable memebers promoting the casinos is not bad but in some cases there has been a case of scam and betrayals by some casinos after doing reviews so everything still goes to being careful on the project you accept as a campaign manager because of your reputation.

All tips are valid, and regarding support, if the team responds slowly it may be a sign that they are overloaded, which can be negative to the point that you suspect there are many "problems" to be solved, but it's good to keep in mind that many use automation in their customer service, which resolves common questions, and perhaps in this test nothing wrong may be noticed.

[SmartGold01]

What you outlined above are really some major points to look for and of course when all these are found missing then we should know that the casino or gambling site aren't worth it.
So, as a gambler it is good to really look out for those things so that you won't be that facing any challenge when you want to withdraw your winnings or even lodging a complaint to site, the customer care agent should be able to attend to you properly to know why you are facing issues.

In addition that, it is always advisable to check the reviews and feedbacks of the site. But check if the feedbacks are valid and not just because it is getting paid by the site, hence, the biased review. Also, when it comes to complaints, you can determine its veracity by reading the case and how it is supported by facts by the gambler. Because without proofs, the gambler may just be accusing the site in wrong manner, despite of his shortcomings as a player.
Because most cases have no solid evidence and so it is just like hearsay or unfounded accusations aimed to the site's reputation. If there is no attached proofs, then, treat it as just another troll ruining the image of the site. But the site should also look into it and address the matter accordingly. State their side so people won't misinterpret the accusation into something negative.

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.

Sometimes when the casino is new, doing all this research might not be able to save you, as they are always good at covering all their errors. You only have to wait until a few people fall victim to their casino scam before you can take lessons from users' reviews. Some casinos appear very legit in their way of doing things; no scam pattern is detected, but in the end, it all leads to people getting their money stuck.

These are good points to check before registering at any casino, but unfortunately, many gamblers are too lazy to research or verify many of these points, thus falling victim to scams.

Bonuses and promotions also play a major role in deceiving users into registering at casinos solely to obtain these bonuses without any research. They ignore all the red flags just to get the bonuses.

[Findingnemo]

I would like to add about the bonus system, every new casinos are offering attractive and aggressive bonuses with some hidden catches in their fine print, so one who is hoping to claim a bonus should read all the terms of the bonus system and start depositing money there.

And also as a side tip I always suggest to complete their KYC even if it is not mandatory that can avoid delayed withdrawals and any itensive verification after winning big. Stake got easiest of all KYC process so try that if you want.

The speed and hassle of withdrawing can tell you which crypto casino is real and which is just a thief. For top level crypto based operator, bitcoin withdrawal can arrive in wallet within 10 to 60 minute if condition such as bonus play through or verification are met. The time varies depending on how congested the network is but thye could use the Lightning network to clear the payment in no time

But if a site hold your money day after day for no reason or just ask for KYC during cashout then understand something wrong here. The real smart thing is to clear all the verification before depositing and check the minimum withdrawal limit. Otherwise after winning you will go to withdraw money and grind your teeth

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

We must ensure checking on some vital information about the gambling casino before using it, some will also go to the extent of advising that we should make the necessary research about them, there are reasons for all this before we can use them, if we could remember a lot of scenarios that many keep complaining of being scammed by using a gambling casino, while lack of being informed about some of them are engaging the necessary research could lead to experiences like this about casinos.

[shawonngp]

You have analyzed 6 very important points. Before depositing at a new casino site, you need to do some minimum research, such as checking reviews, whether they are positive or negative, user experience, and whether they pay out on time or scam customers. Secondly, the customs service is very important. I personally try to avoid casino sites with slow-to-respond customer service, preferring those with fast response times. The minimum and maximum withdrawal limits are another important point. Because if a site's minimum withdrawal amount is $50, it is definitely unfair, in my opinion. I have seen that many trusted casino sites have license issues; they are not licensed by the government, but have been providing services for many years. Many sites are conducting business by showing fake licenses.

[Royal Cap]

In my case, I try to play mostly on reputable casino platforms (which are more active on this forum). Because most of the time, lesser known casino sites seem like scams to me. Another thing is that from what I have seen so far, people in our country mostly gamble after seeing big bonuses and social media advertisements. So they start playing without following the rules and face problems in withdrawing money (because most of the casinos are fake and scams). And I don't always believe in reviews, because many times paid reviews are available on review platforms like Trust Pilot. So in this case, I think this forum is the best place to get reviews. Especially the ANN thread of a casino platform.

[salad daging]

A valid license is important so that the casino looks legitimate, because if the casino does not have a license then this will be a casino warning as previously discussed, except for Dex casinos which usually do not have a license.

Reviews on forums are more honest than reviews on other platforms.
Reviews here are more transparent and as we know, not only reviews but also own experience matters.

Last point 4/5/6.
It's more about reading ToS because there are clear rules about casinos in detail, the important thing for me is to know how to identify good and bad casinos, even if they ask here, they will be recommended by other members.

[Alphakilo]

The post is just complete and a very good read that I can't seem to know what to add or subtract, because you simply said it all.
However, I think if one where to be patient to read the terms of agreement, they should just do well to read the term and agreement in total to have an edge in any information gap that may be lacking.
I also think using VPN tools when gambling on a casino is a good hack but it may be dangerous when it comes to withdrawal of funds or even funding of wallet.

[xLays]

Not gonna lie, only two of the things you mentioned are what I actually do. Rest I usually disregard. I mostly rely on how popular the casino is and who recommended it before I register and use them.
But yeah, most of what you mentioned really needs to be done if you don’t want to get scammed or play in rigged casino. I’m pretty sure, just like me only few users actually do all those checks because most people just want to enjoy gambling, not stress themselves with all those extra things.
Well luckily I never got scam by any of online casino but never win yes. lol

1.  Valid License:

Some hosting and domain registrars will not allow hosting a gambling platform with no valid license so check their domain registrar

2.  Check for Player Reviews:

It's worth it if it comes from Bitcointalk, but not from TrustPilot or influencers who are on their payroll.

3.  Check secure Website Connection:

Most anti-viruses will block an unsecured connection, Karspersky will not allow access

4.  Read Withdrawal Rules:

Not only withdrawal rules, but everything in the casino's terms that they can possibly use to their advantages

5.  Trusted and popular Payment Methods:

You can send and receive through your own wallet without an intermediary.

6.  Customer Support Test:

They may have a delay in response if it's not urgent, but the response should be clear, fair and direct.

[Anayochukwu]

This is a very good reminder that we should look at when choosing a casino. Sometimes most of the things that happens in the game was because of not checking on the things that the OP listed, there is no need to be on a casino that doesn't have a good customer support because they are more important than every other thing. But I don't know why someone wouldn't understand that gambling involves losses and most of them are into scam so it's necessary to apply self control and go through the terms and conditions.
