Casinos that are licensed under the same company; yae or nay?

[julerz12]

I notice some online casinos launching under the same license, not sure if these are owned and operated by a single company or if that company offers white-label services.
I call them sister platforms 'cause they seem to share similar attributes.
1. Similar license across many different platforms, some new, some old
2. Similar game library
3. Similar promotions, bonuses, loyalty/vip program
4. Similar UI, site design

Here's an example:




Won't these platforms have shared backend and player data? Even a shared system for deposits/withdrawals? (Probably not the case if it's whitelabel, cmiiw)

So, if you come across one of these platforms, would you be willing to sign up and place bets? Or would you prefer a standalone online casino? One that has its own license, design, and unique promotions.

P.S. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just asking for some insights.

If it is gambling sites, as long as any of the sites are not having bad reputation but trustworthy, I can make use of  any of the sites.

It is very possible that the gambling sites are having the data of users because they are sister companies. This is one of the reasons it is good to research very well before using a gambling site.

I am using small amount of money to gamble. My country allows gambling. As long as my country is not restricted, I can use any of the sites to gamble.

But if one of the sites has bad reputation, I will not use any of the sister gambling site to gamble.

I am not implying those gambling sites on your image are reputed or not, this is just my own opinion about all gambling sites.

I wouldn't be that free to use them because anything is possible since they are sis site they could be sharing information in common, some of them may even look at to the person to be having multiple account because they are same casino and they do have things in common where their interface and system design could likely be as one. Anyone who is using that should be that careful because they wouldn't be hesitant to link up any complaints or issues to the next gambling site. There are reputable sites that I would've to choose over those site that are related.

It's not out of place for a business to expand within the same sector and have sister businesses that could sometimes look to be competing against each other but it's important for a gambler to be aware and check through the reputation of other related casinos. Any problem encountered on one will very likely show up in another at some point down the line.

If they are all reputable and the information of their connection is available to those willing to check for it, I don't mind playing on any of their services.

What will be the basis of judgement is the reputation they have created. If one of them have bad reputation, then all of the casinos is a no for me because they are owned and operated by the same people. However, if there is no issue with any of the casinos, I wouldn't mind creating accounts in all of them depending on what they offer and my specific needs. In gambling business, reputation is like a currency and that is what will make any platform survive the competition.

If it's run by a single operator on the back end, then most likely yes, including deposit/withdrawal policies, AML, and payment gateways. However, they'll be serious about sharing data for anti-fraud/exploit purposes, whereas responsible gambling isn't as serious about its implementation (not surprising, just a bit sad).

[Davidvictorson]

The question to ask is that, what is their reputation like. In the gambling industry, reputation is what matters and not the if they are licensed under the same company. I know that most gamblers hardly check this detail, what they look for is reputation.

And once one lacks a good reputation is it natural that the other would, this is where this type of discussion would now then highlight the other casinos operating under the same company.

[goldkingcoiner]

It is much more important to look at WHO is running the casino. A whitelabel casino that has exactly the same ui, games and etc. does not mean they will have the same quality of customer support or functionality. Furthermore, it is important not to hand out your KYC and money to random strangers with a casino license. Reputation is the most important factor here. So even if the casino is licensed under the same company, it is just borrowing their name, not their customer experience.

What I believe is best to look out for in a casino is actually their long term goals and interests. If it's too vague and uncertain then there is a chance they might pull off an exit scam and licence or no licence will not actually stop them any bit from doing that. Besides, we've seen casinos in the past withdraw their licence after their scams.

There are so many casinos out there and the rate at which most are pulling exit scams is pretty high and I don't believe just a couple of easily editable words on their page is really convincing enough.

[ryzaadit]

To be honest, I don't really trust a casinos licensed.

These licensed² companies just sell a license without any help at all to protect the use. I don't really care at all, what really care is always how the casino are running especially based on the user experience especially in forum not some ratting website.

The second is always the bankroll, cause bankroll whats make the casino at least having a safe transaction (to make sure everything smooth, and they can pay the user). Any protect regulator can be trusted is only Gaming Protector in Vegas casino for Landbase. Online casino with licenses ? nah, i never trust those licensed company.

There can high rate of scam gambling sites, but those that go for license have low rate of becoming scam gambling sites. There have been few gambling sites that came to this forum, and some even had signature campaign and they become scam. I do not know what is causing that, maybe they are not making money and they want to stop the business, but the probability is very low. This is the reason it is better using very low amount of money to gamble on new gambling sites. I prefer to just avoid them until they are becoming old. But if I join any of their campaigns, I can use small amount of money to gamble on the site after paying the first week money.

[rdluffy]

I wouldn't have any problem using these casinos for those specific reasons
Since they're trustworthy, I definitely would

In those cases, I believe they make more money through volume
Just as there are companies that compete with each other, it's not hard to find examples of this in e-commerce, for example

Oh don't stress over your genuine, I am sure you have even at this point brought it to the awareness of some casino users because I doubts if everyone of us have that time to begin compare the casinos and their licence numbers whether they are same as the ones mentioned.

It is common that once the casino is confirmed licenced and reputable, some of us don't care if the platform is made in their unique mode of services. We move on to sign in.

I admires your observation and attentiveness. Indeed such casinos can be owned or having operational linkage with one another but I don't see this worth troubling because ideally, these casino companies might only tend to imitate it various mode of services while they are realistically operating on their own.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

It's a yes for me, it's only when the casino site is not reputable or if one among those sisters website has previously have scam issue, that means I can not trust the rest of them since they might likely turn out to be scam too. When I already have a trusted casino that I'm using, it's not easy for me to start playing in any other website when I am already satisfied with the current one I'm using, secondly when I'm also playing, I don't deposit more than what I can't afford to lose, so that even if the casino turn out bad, I won't feel too depressed about the money.

If this is an issue for someone, they probably shouldn't gamble at all, because all casinos are considered to be financial institutions in same way as any company that deals with high volumes of customer's money.

It's insignificant if it's one or more companies you are dealing with, unless you are trying to cover your tracks by dividing your volume so it won't trigger automatic reports. But seriously, why not just report your accounts to officials, rather then face jail time or something you can get from avoiding taxes in your country?

[Ruttoshi]

What really matters his the casinos reputation and nothing more. If they have good reputation, I am good to go but if any of them has a bad record, I avoid all of them like a plague because there's high possibility of replicating the same thing in their sister casinos.

You don't need to always jump into using new casinos, and if you must due to bonus offers for new gamblers, you should only deposit the amount of money that you can afford to lose. Nobody can know a  new casino that has plans to pull an exit scam which is the main reason why you should always be careful. Even some old casinos ends up scamming their customers in the long run.

I don't have a problem with that as long as both casinos maintain their reputation. If one casino has a good reputation in the community and a new casino associated with that company opens, I can easily trust that casino because it shares its sister company's reputation.
Association and branding are important because they are interconnected between two companies that share the same owner.

You can have a company with multiple casinos; there's nothing wrong with that. As for game providers, it's normal for these games to be similar or identical in some online casinos, whether they're owned by the same person or not, since many casinos prefer to outsource this. Regarding the site's theme, casinos often have similar aesthetics due to the lore of gambling; it's like going to Las Vegas and seeing neon lights everywhere. I think the important thing here is to look at the reputation of these casinos and ensure it's not a series of fronts. We close the problematic casino, open one with an intact reputation, all under the same company.

[Z-tight]

I wouldn't even notice this sort of thing in the first place, before we can even talk about it being a problem or not, lol. I don't mind really, just like many other gamblers who do not even worry about casino licenses and were it came from. I believe it is easier for me to choose a gambling platform, because i do so from the list of good services in this forum and i usually stick with the one that works for me for the long term, so i don't really have this problem.

[Exitoral]

I noticed all the companies share the same licence number, registration and address. Could it be it's the same company operating multiple brands?

The most important thing is that all have a very weak license. Hope it is not what I am thinking. 🤔

I have a hunch that they are all the same company. But still it they play their cards right. I can still bet on the platform. But it might be a problem. Like I said. If they are not wolf under sheep clothing, then I can bet on their platform.
