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

No.1 It's not always right.

License can be pay, by the way as long you can pay.... you will can get the license. Curcaccao it self are not moderated every casino are buying their license, we even seeing a casino scammed everyone with a license too.

So. IMO no.1 is not always right. But no.2 is quite goods.

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.

I read somewhere that most members doesn't check the casino license whether valid or invalid. In cases, that it's valid, still not a guarantee that it will not rug pull or scam it's customers. For sure majority of us have seen one casino recently who didn't pay their customers or people can't withdraw their money on that casino. And they keep on stalling the community with their excuses.

My point is that licenses might not be a good indicator for casinos not to scam.

Reviews do help but not with the usual reviews website that we know of. There are legitimate review websites like casinoguru and others that have been built through the forum. Also, checking the threads of these casinos if they have it here in the forum do help a lot. Because of the genuine interaction of customers and the problems that are posted for each of them will also help someone who's looking if they're in a legitimate website or not. Because there are copies of the reputable casinos as well portraying to be the real one but with some misspelled characters.

The very first thing I do when trying to play with a new casino is checking the players feedbacks and from there, I can tell if this casino is worth to try or not. But if majority have negative experiences, that's already a sign to never risk your funds with that casino, although I know some negative feedbacks are filtered by the casino itself as it will surely affect their marketing.

Checking with the deposit and withdrawal policy comes next. If it does not fit my expectations, then I'll never risk gambling in it.

Lastly, checking if the customer support is fast enough to respond or give their feedbacks. If not, they don't deserve my money and time.

Question, what is the top two items to check here before you say the casino is good?

Well most people do not check if the casino has a valid license. We just assume that if it is here on the forum, it has a valid license already. In my estimation, the two things I want to know is at what point would they require KYC documents? As for customer support, if the casino has an ANN thread on the forum, that is already kinda good enough. It is in the ANN thread that you'd get good and real reviews. I trust them than most other reviews found on the internet.

Most withdrawal rules are pretty straightforward.

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.

This is why most people would still prefer to use the already popular and established ones instead of new and upcoming ones. If someone is building a casino, better to really market the casino heavily in a way to prove they’re legit because less people are taking risks in trying new casinos out of fear.

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.

Casinos can have all the other 5 you mentioned, but they can still be considered a scam. A scam casino can even imitate the design and features of a legit one; it's the reviews and feedback that separate the two. If there's at least one valid accusation, it's already a red flag.
When we say valid, it means it undergoes investigation or arbitration, but still refuses to honor the withdrawal.

Many gamblers are very lazy to read through the rules of the casino they’re patronizing and when they don’t get what they want later because of the violation of terms and conditions, they even get more annoyed and tend to tarnish the image of the casinos. Trading through their terms is important to have a nice experience with them. If we have all gamblers checking through and reading the guideline of the casinos they’re operating, they’ll probably not have much people complaining of scams even when they must have been the one that has failed to do the right thing or violated an important rule. Casinos trust are being built more by the aforementioned in the OP, I just hope we follow through them in selecting the best casino.

[Churchillvv]

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

Even it gets sticked or pinned on the thread, how many newbies will be interested to read it? But still it’s a good one but however some casinos pass all this characteristics yet still become a scam but it’s necessary one checks all this out before getting involved with any casino.

But one thing I’ve learnt is that most casinos you find in the forum are good and quite legit so you can find one here and chose it’s that simple for someone new to gambling.

No.1 It's not always right.

So. IMO no.1 is not always right. But no.2 is quite goods.

The license issuer also matters, we need to check its credibility. But normally, if it’s regulated by a government, most of them are really following standard rules.

I also read somewhere that many casinos are no longer using Curaçao licenses because their policy became stricter. That kind of shows that some gamblers and operators are looking for license providers with less oversight, so they can operate more loosely.

But in the end, it still depends on us which site we use. We have to educate ourselves, because at the end of the day, it’s our own money we are risking.

Nice points sharing by OP for using casino gambling which one side have to check firstly, I don't know about how the check valid license for gambling casino exactly to know trust and valid license during nowadays many new casino launching. I skip checking about valid license for any casino gambling and usually always priority about withdrawal process instant or manual, beside checking about how many coins support for withdrawing and deposit fund at any casino gambling.
For checking review I don't fully trust because many new casino few days after launching casino make interested an offering by paying for participants join their review campaign, its not natural review because the participants join review of casino gambling due has an offering not from their own decision.

[Maslate]

One thing I know, if there are positive player reviews, that also reflect how good the customer support is, and how fast the withdrawal is. So in times I want to explore something new, I just focus on the casino feedbacks, and start to bet at a small amount wherein I'm comfortable of losing.

But mostly, I stick to my old and trusted casino. As long as it never give me a headache, I will never risk into new ones.

[Dump3er]

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.

That is right, but this is quite normal for any ToS, whether this is about casinos or other places. The reason is there is something called industry standards and reputable casinos don't only deviate from those standards by a lot. It is often those scammy smaller places that suddenly say withdrawals take up to 72 hours or have unreasonable withdrawal fees. A lot of things in daily business work smoothly because mutual expectations are quite congruent between service providers and customers. If you had to read a 20 pages document for every single you take throughout a day, that would be a lot of friction.

I think these red flags are especially when withdrawal times are up to several days or when wagering requirements for deposits are insanely high. What I found strange recently are minimum deposit requirements. I get when there is some limit higher than maybe $0.50, but there are some odd minimum deposit requirements at some casinos and the worst is when it says "deposits smaller than that will be lost". I recently had this, deposited like $10 only to then find out that the minimum was $15 and that was what I mentioned before, I have never seen that before so you expect certain things to just work without reading through documentation.

All necessary reputational records must be observed and properly verification of the legitimacy of the casino must be confirmed.
It's very important for players to always be conscious about scam projects because without being told, it's a very high risk of the player if ignors to admit that scammers truly operates in the space.
Checking players reviews also is muhly necessarily while considering a reputable casin.

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.

All good checks! Also maybe even check their TOS and FAQs and also browse the contact portion of their page, maybe do a little bit of extra intel and also maybe even look up who the actual owners of the site are if you can or if possible and also cross check for legitimacy and good faith. I think for the most part though the forum reviews should tell you everything you need to know, with a grain of salt that is, but for the most part the community is pretty dialed in on that stuff.

[Jody.Drummer]

The points raised by the commenter are valid. By paying attention to these points, we can avoid fraudulent casinos, considering that online casinos are currently growing rapidly and we don't know whether a new casino is trustworthy or not. Some people are careful in finding new things, including casinos, while others ignore them. As far as I recall, I have never been deceived by any casino I have visited. All the casinos I have visited are trustworthy and reliable in all their processes.

-snip-

You provided 6 valid points because those points are very important for players to know, but unfortunately players are more interested in what bonuses the casino offers, and reviews are not something they will look for first but will consult when they start facing problems with the casino.

An example there is a casino known as a big scammer, yet new players will come to this forum when their accounts are frozen and money cannot be withdrawn, sadly, they do not come to the forum first to find out but rather the opposite.

If players increase their vigilance when playing at a new casino, the chances of being scammed will be smaller.

With current "buzzer era", reviews about services in review sites sometimes not organic. They come just to giving good review to bring in people to use their services even in real, a provider never giving good services to their customer. Believe in forum reviews are better, because we can read from member that already shared their real experience than reading reviews from reviews site.

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.

Even in the forums there are many gamblers who complain about this and from time to time the situation is always the same where when there is an obstacle to withdrawals, the conditions do not change even for large and reputable casinos, sometimes cases like this occur.

But it is undeniable that most of us gamblers sometimes don't have enough time to read because the focus is only on playing and don't care about what is in the rules in the ToS they don't pay much attention to this or don't even read and prefer to scroll to skip the ToS that has always been there since we first registered on the site and it has become one of the basic problems for some of us.

All the points are good, but sound too generic and scams happen even when the generic points have already been applied and still something goes wrong. A site can go scam before you know it but sites that have been represented here for years will likely hold accountability and not go full exit scam unlike a newly shown up shady casino.

In other words you are putting your money at risk when signing up on a new casino or exchange. Only if you feel comfortable with them then only use their services. Reviews can be faked, dont trust them. Reps on forum are usually genuine and they will make sure to keep the customers satisfied.
