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

[Beparanf]

I don't think review is enough but years of reputation can save people from becoming endangered by a casino. When a casino is popular, they have the numbers and don't have any scam accusation then know the casino is such type that you want to gamble in and not all this type that will give bonus, promised all sort of things just to keep people playing only to disappear when everyone has depend on them.

Years of operation already tell you a lot. If a casino has survived that long, that’s usually a good sign that they’ll keep operating.

So reviews should always be tied to how long the casino has been around. Most of the time, you can tell if reviews are paid or not just by looking at their history. If a site has been running for less than a year but already has tons of good reviews, that’s pretty risky.

In that case, you really shouldn’t fully believe everything you read.

Many is neglecting with this basic facts because many users often attracted to new casino offer good bonus even though it has an insane ToS instead of choosing established casino without the risk of being scam.

Betmoco is the example to this situation. They offer a very good bonus with low wagering requirements but they turn to scam immediately once they get deposit from curious users on their bonus.

The years of their smooth operation is the simplest way to spot good casino.

I believe that the one thing we should do before depositing any money on any gambling site is to check it's reviews.
A popular review site for gambling sites is BTCGOSU where we can find out how good the gambling site actually is.
Only if the feedback is actually genuine then consider depositing money on the site and I would recommend to start with smaller amounts initially.

If the gambling is very new and doesn't even have any reviews or feedback on the internet then look for more details.
Perform is whois lookup, cross verify the team members and their authenticity and their social media handles.
Only deposit any money if all of these look good and again start small and only gradually increase the amount if required.

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 dont really care about license because there is no guarantee that licensed casinos will not become scam later, license exists as a business for me which give benefits to the owner as well as to the casino only.

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.

Almost all casinos receive complaints from their players, even reputable casinos do ban people's account but this is not the main important thing.
We should look deeper into the cases because we should look each case from both sides to know which party is doing something bad.

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.

Since we are in crypto forum, I have no idea which payment method you are referring to as trusted and popular and which payment methods that or not popular.
Maybe you can give us some example of the payment methods both from the trusted one and from the non trusted one.

I've found many casino reviews online, but they're the kind of casinos that seem to be ghosts and have amazing reviews, but that doesn't inspire confidenceIt's like looking for reviews on Google Play or something like that they're not reliable. I only trust user reviews from here and other reputable forums, and besides that, I do my own research elsewhere.

This is why sometimes you cannot trust reviews completely as some of them may be false, it could be bots that has published such on such platforms and probably it has not been detected that it is a bot review nad some may also be paid reviews where these reviews are doctored and engineered to lure unsuspecting victims to the casino, only to get to the casino and see something really contrary.

Casinos scam people all the time. If you scam them back, good for you. There was actually this guy in vegas who was working for the gambling authorities. He learned how slot machines worked and scammed casinos in the 80's. Made millions before he got caught.

I look at some gamblers and the way they uses a casino without taking time to research about them, thinking all good until they had the worst of it all, then you discover them making every necessary efforts to see where they can report such and also get their issues resolved, when they are supposed to have carried out the normal research on these casinos right form the start and not until they were being pushed to the wall.

That's right, licences from tax havens are nowhere near as reliable as a European licence, which involves a much higher initial investment, certain requirements and subjection to regulation and supervision that minimises the possibility of scams. Conversely, nowadays there are almost none left, but a decade ago there were plenty of unlicensed casinos, most of which operated normally without scamming anyone.

The OP rules and general idea are not bad, but they are far from infallible. 

[yhiaali3]

Yes, checking reviews from authentic players is very useful if they are from reliable real players such as members here in our BitcoinTalk forum or other reliable forums or people you know in real life.
Otherwise, you cannot trust reviews too much because it is possible to simply pay a few people to put positive reviews for the casino. This method has become known to everyone.

I don't think reviews are going to be helpful if the authenticity is coming from this forum. How many casino are available that are active on this forum that one would say they have done reviews for everyone. They just focus on their marketing and do what they want to do. Recently, there was one casino that was launched by one new manager, the casino did review and all that but after a week, they refused to work again and didn't pay people their money.

I'm not talking about the casino's own reviews, but rather the experiences of the members themselves. In various sections, you'll find members openly sharing their experiences whether positive or negative.

Also in the accusations section there are dozens of experiences talked about by forum members that relate to bad experiences with some casinos (some of them have a signature campaign here in the forum), these are the reviews I am talking about that are based on real experience.

You are right, most gamblers are very quick to register on a casino without taking the time to read all through the ToS of the casino before they make a move they most do this when they see bonus going on in the casino platform and sometimes casinos too know this so they just do it to get at those gamblers who do not read ToS and when it is time to make withdrawal that is when you will be haering stories and complaints from players who do not read ToS. These are the things casinos take advantage of so that they would have nothing to lose to those players who do not read ToS before they register for their bonuses on their platform.

Gambler habit, most quick for registering casino gambling account without reading all term of service and many of them disappointed if any rule make difficult for them like KYC requirement or few option altcoin for withdrawing fund. Its not fault of gambling casino if the gambler not really fully about term of service any gambling casino, nowadays many user when seeing bonuses offering exactly cashback bonuses when first time make deposit forget checking all regulation and requirement needed. Then make complaint later after stuck withdrawal fund for several casino need to reach minimum wagering activities to withdraw fund.

In order to avoid all this unnecessary drama, players ought to read the ToS of the casinos they are registering with before proceeding with it, because most of the time, casinos use promo and bonuses to get players who do not read the ToS of their platforms. And when it is time for withdrawal, you start seeing complaints from ignorant players who do not read but are quick to cluster because of the promo and bonuses.

I guess this is already part of their business, posting some paid reviews so that they can continue to deceive new players and earn more income. But once they get caught, not only they will lose their good reputation, if ever there is, but they will definitely lose their loyal supporters as well and eventually put their business at stake.

This is why we need to be cautious when choosing casino to bet. Do not just rely on reviews as they can be doctored, but make your own thorough research about the site so that your funds will be safe in there.

I think it's enough for me if I see reviews on this forum from players and people who are reliable on the forum. Yes, there's a lot of marketing, but it's very well done and with the participation of many. The reputation built up over years is also good Even so, the Ann threads are a good indication that things might be going well, so those are criteria that help me see if it's a reliable site.

The simple truth is that most gamblers normally get carried away by the offer and they don't want to know if the casino is reputable or not while because they have give them some huge bonus offer. These are absolutely the things that lead most of them to unreputable casino knowing pretty well that casinos don't our progress, yet we don't want do proper research and before joining the game just because they are offering you a lot of bonus you don't care if they are reputable casino, we should be mindful of the casino we are dealing with to avoid regret at last.

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.

You are right, it's unwise to rush into  new casino without doing proper research, this is the mistake a lot of people make. I don't use a casino just because it's hyped, I prefer to check everything out myself to know if I would be able to make use of the casino or not. From the rules and terns of a casino it tells a lot about how they operate, instead of skipping it i make sure that I go through it carefully.

One of the reasons why a gambler is being scammed is that they don't make any research for themselves. What they think is enough, isn't really enough. And that's going to save ourselves when we spend a bit of our time researching if a casino that just found out is a good one or a genuine casino. Because if we have seen the signs of being a red flag, we'll stop from spending our time in looking for answers about these specific casinos. That's why if we'll take our time in doing so, we'd see which are the ones that shows bad signs and red flags and we'll avoid them asap.

The best option in countering against any form of fraud in the online entertainment environment is to conduct a thorough personal research. In my opinion, speculation based on assumptions is the only way that avoidable financial losses will be opened. We should be keen enough to notice any form of red flag so as not to become users of un-credible platforms. I will also attest to the fact that, every time we make security investments by following the steps that would identify the authenticity of a casino, it pays us well.

I think the thirst for big bonuses is more common among newcomers just entering the industry. Experienced players will study a new gaming site more carefully and spend 5-10 minutes researching it and reading reviews before making their first deposit in pursuit of starting bonuses. At least, that's what I do: I never rush when something new is recommended.
