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

[danherbias07]

We have something like that here in our country.

I remember registering for only one local online casino using my cell number, and suddenly, there are 4 different names of local online casinos that are sending me text messages of their promotions. I bet they are using the same license number, and they are sharing the same information storage, because that won't happen if not.

It's a no for me. Now, my information is leaked on 4 different gambling sites, and I think the privacy rule was already violated because of it. Still, they can do the same thing even if they have different license numbers. They can still share the same data storage without the knowledge of the gamblers.

[Odohu]

There were casinos that operated in this forum under the same licenses and ownership or something close to that. They were all successful in this forum and people had no problem signing up in all of them and using them. There will not be any issues that I know of for a case where one entity register and operate different casinos if they are doing their business professionally. It could just be a case of expansion and business continuity.

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.

Of course, gambling sites has the data of its users through KYC, except for those gambling sites that are non-KYC. Many casinos are licensed under same company but it's not a problem provided their services are reliable and reputable. Doing research on a gambling site to know how reputable they are or other necessary information that is needed before gambling on their platform is quite stressful for a lot of gamblers, all they care about is how they can gamble, win and make withdrawals. Not many gamblers have all that time to check the license of a casino, they don't really care until something goes wrong that is when they will begin to do those checks which includes reading the casino TOS.

What difference does that make? Casinos are free to have another platform as long as they keep their repuation into good standing, but if ever there is a valid complaint that has not been addressed on another casino that is under them, then I'll stop playing on that casino, because there's a possibility that both casinos will turn to scam

[CryptSafe]

I will stand on the basis of their reputation to make my opinion and that is if any of the mentioned casinos has a reputation issue, I would not bother having anything to do with the others because it is likely or possibly the same management sharing same information and database to keep track of player's activities and gambling patterns. So I would not bother because getting involved with the other sister casino would still end up same way so no need and besides there are lot's of reliable and reputable casinos out there to reckon with.

[Fortify]

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.

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. 

Well it is a bad thing from the perspective of a customer, because it just adds another layer that you'd have to battle through if you ever had a valid complaint with the casino. However most of these licensing authorities give them out if you pay the registration and annual fees with no intention of vetting these companies. You have to do something particularly egregious or catch the attention of some powerful people if you're going to have a license revoked, but even then you can just move on to the next private island that will issue you one. I don't pay particular attention to the licensing authority, because it can easily be faked and they only show the bare minimum of effort has gone into making the site look legitimate.

[Agbe]

If they are operated by different individuals, I will use them and if there are operating under one umbrella with the same individual, there will be doubt in trusting them. The license company is a business firm which can issued license to any interested casino company and that can look the same. But if there one it is not good because, I don't see casino which is not yet expanded to a large participants would developed another casino to be operated. But if it is a big casino then expansion is okay.

[iv4n]

Well, Primedice and Stake are good examples of how things should be done. But what you are talking about is a bit different, almost everything is a copy/paste except the name... Personally, I have nothing against it, as long as they are fair. But their fairness is a tricky party. Many years ago, someone wrote that the crypto gambling world is the Wild West... and in many ways it still is. Fair for me and some other small players, but when it comes to mid & high rollers, things are a bit different. We can even make a difference between us who play casino games more than sports betting... those bookies can be crazy in many cases.

[moneystery]

I don't see any reason not to use a casino, even if it's licensed alongside another casino. It could be because they're sister companies and share the same license, but that's assuming the casinos haven't had any issues that would raise a red flag. If even one casino is involved in issues, it's best to avoid using it. Even if the other casino isn't, the fact that they're related makes it riskier to use, and there's a greater chance that it could also have issues later.

[KiaKia]

Your question is solely about if they won't share users information with eachother, are you trying to cheat? Because this is just one of those ways they know if any gambler has multiple accounts, it's a good find.

This is not a good reason for me to avoid them all together, all I need is transparency and reliability, if that's the case I will never have any problem using any of these online casinos.

I have no problem if casinos are all using same licensed company, and since you even find this out easily it shows that they don't have any intention to hide it.

[Cryptomultiplier]

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.

Sister sites operate as a sub license and if the provider that holds the master license is trusted and reliable, it is also fine to use it.

I do prefer not to use sister sites, instead a stand alone platform which of course offers unique value or better odds and won't taint my reputation or share my data across other gambling platforms Incase any issues may arise.

[Strongkored]

As you said, it's not a bad thing, and neither am I.
Pay attention to how the first casino that appears conducts its business. If the first one is a scam, never use the next casino under the same company, because that's a red flag.
Unfortunately, it is rare for players to scroll untul the bottom casino site to find out who the casino company is.

[Bright0515]

Just like what the first reply says, what's more important is their reputation, so long as their reputation is still good, then it's fine buy me but ones I do a little diggings and observe that either one of the site or few of the sites that are under one license is/are having bad reputation then I wouldn't dare to use them at all. But I will feel more comfortable if neither of them requests for KYC after registration or during withdrawal.

[Dunamisx]

License is not the reason enough to determine the casino we are going o use for gambling, if they are found under the same company doesn't matter here, what users stand to get bf benefits from using them is more important, how reliable are they and trusted, since they don't have intention to scam users, I don't think there's anything wrong about their licensing status.

[YOSHIE]

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

If I'm not mistaken, the authorities that control licensing generally apply the same requirements and rules to any online casino that wants to register as a licensed casino.

It is on the basis of these rules and requirements that many people think that casino A and Casino B are the same, but this is not the case because the casinos belong to different people, submitting the same main conditions means they are the same.

In short, just like (Curaçao Gambling License) in submitting documents, there are also Casinos that apply with documents belonging to other casinos.

[shawonngp]

If a few casino sites launch business under one license, there is no issue, but if it is reputable and trusted, then no one will question or doubt the licenses. If multiple casino sites are under one license, then the biggest disadvantage is that if, for some reason, one site is a scam, then people's trust will be lost in all the other sites, which means everyone will consider the rest as scams, because all the sites are under the same license or company. Don't sign up for a new casino site just for the tempting bonus offer; most of the time, there are scams. Many new sites offer abnormal bonus offers, deceiving users only when their target is fulfilled. So I think it's a good decision to avoid depositing on random new sites other than legit casino sites.

The recent casinos we see dont build their backend from scratch. Developers have an already existing/duplicate backend used to develop the site. The difference will be the UI and the game providers used. Imagine a platform with a sister site, of course, everything will be similar, even the UI, except they decide to make changes to it and the logo.

I wont mind using two casinos that are licensed under the same parent company. But if one has a bad reputation, I will avoid the other to avoid stories that touch the heart.

[Alpha Marine]

I don't mind. As long as the casino is not fraudulent or has a bad reputation, I don't mind if they are owned by the same company. If I like the casino, I would play in it. If the parent company or the subsidiaries have a bd reputation, then it is a differnt things. Like it was with 1xbit and all the other companies affiliated with it.
We use other services and products owned by the same company,, so why should gambling be different? I don't mind at all.

[Nwada001]

I really don't care much about which casino is linked to which one as long as there is no scam connected to them; if not for the recent casino that was said to be under the same management, I don't even pay attention to that. If one company can manage all three without one acting funny, then I won't have anything against the casino, but once there is a complaint related to them, it will be best to stay cautious.

As long as the company has a good reputation, there is nothing to be afraid of. Some gambling companies might want to expand, and this might be why they start a new platform. However, there is also a risk in using more than one platform owned by the same company. All the subsidiaries might suffer the same fate as the parent company if they become bankrupt or are closed by regulators. It is essential not to keep substantial amounts in casinos to avoid losing funds when faced with challenges.
