Topic: Fan of casino reviews online? This is a must-read (Read 448 times)

Trustpilot failed miserably to address concerns when it comes to reviews about casinos, Other products and platforms are good but not when it comes to casinos, 1xbit is a notorious scammer but Trustpilot chose to ignore what is showing in the internet and prefers to approve those fake reviews.

I can Trustpilot but never on reviews about casinos I better be off checking reviews here in Bitcointalk and leading casino review sites they are transparent and they do it for the community rather than for money.

That's nothing new, every platform where almost everyone with just an email can sign up and submit a review that will affect the overall rating of a platform or service will surely be manipulated as there is nothing easier than creating an email address on the internet. Trustpilot is highly manipulated by users and casinos themselves, they can always ask some users to create a bunch of accounts and give them a positive rating and their trust score goes higher.

Similarly, if a casino wants to damage the reputation of another platform, they can always pay someone $10 and ask them to post about 50 negative fake reviews about that platform, and after doing that, if the casino had a 4.5 trust score, they will drop down to 3 or maybe below that point.

Forum is dedicated for discussion so it’s serves like feedback thread too. ANN thread is really for an announcement when they post the OP but the thread become a discussion thread after the announcement part or else casino reps here should lock the thread right after they made the announcement.

Browsing the ann thread is one good way to conduct review on the casino since user will discuss whether good or bad experience on the casino.

I think our forum is not specifically built for that. Companies are only posting an announcement thread here as a form of introduction, although people can still post their own feedback there and as well as suggestions. Then we have a scam accusation board which also gives a negative feedback for someone else or some company.

Some people might see it serving the same purpose as those review sites, and what they like more is the fact that opinions here came mostly from different individuals, so they can believe that they are authentic than those review sites which are mostly run by one or a few more people. Adding some specific keyword when searching on something is necessary so that the results are going to be more précised.

People need to understand that trustpilot allows people to post comments, this means that many scam casinos can pay other people or even they can create an account on trustpiloto and then post good reviews, so it's up to people to do so. a lot of research on many other review sites and based on this much research, they analyze the extent to which the data they obtained is true. for example, I saw cases of scam accusations against a casino, but people who use that casino and that have a review site are ignoring these scam cases and even keep saying that the casino is reliable and old and that the review site It's also trustworthy

But why do these people act this way? the answer is very simple: because these people are paid, and since these people are making money and the review site is making money from the casino, so they have no reason to complain about the casino and they keep accusing the people who complain about the casino of being liars, this is the same scenario that happened with the casino you mentioned, it is ironic that people criticize something but do the same thing. Anyway, my point is that each person should not just read reviews on trustpilot

There are other sites like casino.guru askgambler that are good review sites, so people can see reviews and even post complaints about a casino on these two sites, at least on these two sites the owners have the courage to be mediators of conflicts between the casino and the customer. On other review sites they only care about profits from referrals, they disguise themselves when they realize that the case of scam accusation against the casino listed on their review site is a solid case, at that time they just remove the casino from their site, nothing more . they don't help people, that's why you should also criticize other review sites and not just criticize trustpilot. all review sites have the same problem and should not be taken 100% seriously

The most of the gamblers option to review the gambling will be the forum review.No one can do the review which scam the gamblers in the forum.Only the scammers will do the fake review by creating the newbie account and do the scam attempt.Such people should be red tag to avoid of they scam the other gamblers.The good campaign with huge reputation are the preferred gambling sites for the users.The gamblers from various countries will had their own ideology in the gambling.Some gamblers will encourage their fellow gamblers,others won’t share their friend about their gambling secrets.

There's a chance of people use paid shills to promote their site in this forum, pretty much like paid these people to write a review in trust pilot. But the difference is trust pilot has no way to make sure the review is genuine or not, while this forum, user with many positive feedback, high merit earned and joined in long term campaign will never want to sacrifice his reputation just for a sake of short term money, so they will try to being honest as possible.

Could be popular but never use one platform or website when you're trying to look for a reviews for a particular online casino. Most especially when that platform's sole purpose is to give reviews for all online casinos, because they can be paid to fabricate and twist a review and how they rate it.
I've seen a tons of ads for that particular online casino you have mentioned.  They have paid a lot of local influencers here, so I assume they have a lot of money to throw for the ads.
IMO, reviews from communities like this are far more reliable and genuine than those reviews platform.

It's good to know that there are still people who don't fully trust review sites because after all, these websites if not all, were mostly made by paid reviews. It's still much better to do your background research using unbiased and not sponsored feedbacks by true players that really played and made a bet on a specific casino. Unfiltered reviews are the still the best. It will let you get the perspective of both worlds which are the pros and the cons and that could help you decide whether it's worth it to play or not.

Many service providers are still providing this kind of service, but they do not come to the forum to promote this service because they may have understood what the consequences are. It is now difficult to trust a site depending on Trustpilot's positive rating. Because most companies have paid reviews to make them look trustworthy.

Getting out of this situation is now difficult, mainly because Trustpilot is also accepting these fake reviews that are creating such a bad situation.

Frankly, I have never used review sites such as trustpilot, askgamblers, etc as my main source of information to know about casino that I want to try. This forum is more than enough and more reliable source of information. I prefer to skip any review site where the rating and review can be done by everyone without giving solid proof for the review.

Yes, when we try to search for some reviews, the first thing that will pop in the results is trust pilot. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that it is the best source of review online. Because if you read those reviews, specially from scam casino sites, you will clearly see that they are getting paid to put out this good reviews although it's been a well known scam sites.

And with that, it's are red flag for experience gamblers already, although there could be newbies that can fall for this trick, but majority of us who have been in the game for so long knows what going behind the scene and it's not to be trusted.

I have suspected some red flags from TrustPilot but I just ignore it since I’m not using it anyway. But since this topic is open, probably now I can tell that TrustPilot has never been reliable in most of its rating that’s why it’s better to rely on people you know well because they can be honest and reliable with their reviews at some point. Than to trust in some bots that are only up for our own money and fool us in the end.

Trustpilot was a garbage site. I do not know who the heck is still believing in that shit. It is a complete garbage website.
That reminds me of scamvirus's thread about someone who was seeking paid for review.

I would rather try to get a direct review from the users instead of using that shit. I remember also so many scumbags were dropping bad reviews to the btt. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bitcointalk.org?page=2

I think that any review sites cannot be trusted anymore. It's very hard to get a honest review these days.

Trustpilot is the same as other review platforms, where people can manipulate their reviews and give good ratings to scam platforms. Platforms can order ratings and reviews according to their requests and this causes bad reviews on the platform to sink.
If we are Bitcointalk users it is better to read reviews from reputable users about the gambling platform before using it. Usually they will give an honest and objective review and usually what they say is true to their experience.

Staying away from both is still better, especially for those of us who already know this forum because this forum is a good place for us to know a lot about new casinos or when they are experiencing problems.
Unfortunately, if people don't know about this forum, they will come to the two casino review websites mentioned, because when they search on Google for reviews of a casino, Trustpilot will appear first, so this place is very useful for those who are already members. or at least know, but for those who don't know, they won't realize that there is a forum that tells honestly about existing casinos unless the casino doesn't have an announcement thread, then it remains a mystery what the credibility of the casino is, like 1xbit which still exists out there but on this forum they won't get players because they already know what their reputation is.

Why do we need TrustPilot if we already have the Bitcointalk forum, which always provides complete information when searching for a suitable casino? We already have Bitcointalk and reliable reviewers like @Efialtis and @GamblingBro, who always provide honest reviews of casinos, especially new ones.

And it's not surprising that TrustPilot gave a good review of 1xbit because it could be that TrustPilot is getting paid from that casino. Don't immediately believe it if you get reviews from sites, especially from Google, Yahoo, Bing or others. Now, this has changed because all sites can provide reviews and often, these reviews are paid for by the site.

So instead of looking for reviews of casino sites from the outside, we can look for them here. And if there are no reviews on this forum, you can ask the members here or @Efialtis and @GamblingBro about the casino.

5 years ago, most of the results in Google were trust-worthy reviews, you could read good and bad feeds on it, which were also legit, but as time went on, most of the results in Google were fake, and it had been paid to rate them a 5 star. Right now, it is not good to find reviews on Google because most of them were paid to rate it good, even if the casino is very bad.

I do always rely now on the forum for reviews or from social media that tells about the reviews of casinos in their comment section because you will know those problems that the gambler encounters. Also, here in the forum, it is really legit and coming from the user of that casino and sharing their experience, and there are no fakes here. That is why, right now, not only for casinos but for most of the stuff that I need to check its reviews, I always rely on forums rather than those blogs or Trust Pilot reviews that are completely fake.

Better to use multiple sources, not only 1 or 2.
For example, a combination of these review platforms like TrustPilot, etc., and some multiple forums too because in some multiple forums, you will see real users that sharing their experience, sharing comments about the platform, and on that forum, you will easily point out if they are just dummy accounts or real, legit and high-rank users.

I don't really use trust rating websites so I guess that's why I haven't heard of that name before and even until now.
The only reviews I do care about are members here in the forum who used the online gambling site themselves and there's also a section at services where they do offer money to review their gambling sites which I think is a cool way to make gamblers try their platforms. The only downside is sometimes other members may not point to an honest review but there are those who really leave pros and cons about their service which I am more focused on reading.

Be careful about these rating sites. Some of them may have been paid so that they can put 5 stars on gambling sites even though they are scammy-looking. Trust the ones who are using it than a rating website that may have not even tested it.
