Base on this response is sure that reviews can be manipulated by the company in business throwing out money to writers. I therefore think that this aspect of verification is compromised.

A forum member has the opportunity to stay with the forum and do what members are doing by playing with many of the casinos around. Users here follow reputable companies and they don't hesitate to open up scam accusation on suspicion. So staying here and playing with known companies is a way to stay safe.

Your point is crystal clear and that is same thing I believe. Once a review is paid, there is every tendency that the result would be influenced. Even if the company asked you to be neutral, the reviewer would tend to take side with the company.
The money paid for review is indirectly point out the good and at worse scenario, ignore the bad.

While these can be said about the majority of the paid reviews, a few might be different. For instance,  _livecasino.io_ paid review for deposit and withdrawals. Though that review was paid, but there was absolutely nothing bad to say about the company's deposit and withdrawal system.

I would prefer the one which have good reviews and good customer care services. Since I gamble from other country so for me CSR is very very important - incase I am stuck there should be someone to assist me. However reviews are as important too.

There are some reputable gambling sites or casinos which doesnt really have any license thats why this one isnt a solid indication of being legit or reputable.
Building up trust isnt something that you could achieve in a short time and its just common sense that you would really be doing is to stick on where the majority is been sticking with.

Little up effort for some or making some research wont hurt and of course you would really be going along on where the herd is been going.
Go with those having lots of users and lots of positive feedbacks.

Many people are talking about reviews and I agree that reviews can't be trusted. Not because they are a complete lie, but because they are painting a different picture from what the reality is. They leave out the negatives and highlight the positives. That's not a lie, but it is a biased review.
The thing with paid reviews is that even if the site doesn't tell you to specifically write only nice things about them, the person getting paid feels a certain gratitude and obligation to do that anyway. That's why most reviews are positive and focus on the good things.  

First thing first check the license and if there have then that should give you some level of trust for the sportsbook, secondly, you can also check for review of the site if it is a well-known sportsbook here you would see some users already making a review about them.

A review now most likely not too much reliable because some of  the review platform now can be paid easily to get a good feed back to the website, for me the ideal to get a knowledge in the gambling platform is base in the experience of other people mostly we can get it through the  chat of the main gambling platform or they have a forum or any communication tool, experience is the best source of information preventing to get scam of these suspicious gambling platforms. Also do your own research still not just make a deposit only.

Absolutely right mate and this is happening to other casino or sites they paid someone who write a good feedback to their casino even though they are not known. Also some scam sites do such thing like what my friend happening to him.  He became a victim of scam sites full of good reviews then when he deposit there's no problem but when he want to withdraw there's a lot of excuses from the sites  that they can not process the withdrawal even though my friendd pay the withdrawal fee.

Usually, if there is a single person/team, giving reviews on their own site, I won't pay much attention to it because it is the point of view of one or few individuals. That's why we see some sites on these review site which we are not aware of because some small sites can pay some money to list them on review sites. Better to get reviews where anyone is allowed to post their feedback and then we find a better trusted online gambling and sportsbook site.

Most gambling sites are after for the possible referral commission, hence, they will give positive reviews to attract players.
But if you are already here in the forum, there are specific threads that you can visit like Pmalek's thread and read it for your own reference.
Also, you can visit the thread of each casino and read what is going on and have an idea how they treat their players.
You can get good insights from the discussion, and you can start playing if you are confident that you selected a decent site.

That's what I just explained that some review site are not honest in giving their reviews to the casinos on their review website that's why I only quoted what wapfika provided or you can go here. That thread is created by Pmalek and the gambling sites that are there are known in Bitcointalk forum. I'm sure you know those gambling sites in that thread. Hope op will check it out.

Recently came across a list in which it is possible to see a list of gambling platforms accepting cryptocurrency, but those weren't known to me. When we go across the platform details, they're unpopular but the review site gives perfect feedback. As said nowadays everything requires marketing, so there are paid feedback providers. Good is to go through the list of gambling platforms that promote their service on the forum and choose the one that gives the comfort and trust.

No it's not the best way as some review site owner might be paid to give a good review about a casino or any gambling site though it could really help you to know which of the sportsbook you can trust by checking the review about it but you must also check the review site if it's not biased (paid) or not. Therr are some accusations that are made not because of the sportsbook being a scam sportsbook or shady one but some people not group of people want to ruin a sportsbook or a casino.

If you are not sure with that particular site, then you have to choose known sportbetting sites.
As for now, even their site review/feedback can be possibly manipulated as some owners could spend and pay dollars to the people who give them positive feedback despite the negative performance. I guess, there is no way to make it safe aside from using the site that we know can be trusted.

In my opinion review is one of the best ways to check the authenticity of the business.
Also - once you start gambling on a website you also get a feeler what is correct and what not. Trust your gut feelings too..

Yeah. That's the problem. There are literally thousands of fake "review" websites. They aren't even review sites at all, but simply a list of referral links that take you to places that pay them top dollars in referral fees. So a lot of these "reviews" are actually paid advertising.

But that is definitely not the case with all review sites , and I've noticed a huge difference in where I get my honest recommendations for gambling websites and online casinos. There are certain sites that are considered by the majority of members to be the best and the most reputable. For example, I've found that BTCGOSU and GamblingBro are two of the more reputable sites that offer a plethora of reviews on crypto casinos that are highly regarded.

You really can't just trust any review you see on the Internet because chances are, most of them are bogus and paid for. When looking for honest reviews, stick to sites that are well established and that have a track record of quality.

I think that everyone has different steps to follow in order to actually know what works the best for you. Most people usually just follow the crowd but I think it’s better if you do a really good research before using the sportsbook.

In my case I check all their social media to check what people are saying in their posts, sometimes by just doing this, you can see if they’re a good site or not because of what everyone is saying. I then go and check if the sportsbook is licensed and regulated by a reputable body because security is a must in the industry and every gambler should take this step into consideration. I also take a look at the security features they have, like SSL encryption or two-factor authentication, like I said, be sure that your info will be safe. Lastly, I check the reviews the site has, by doing a quick search on Google, you will find different options of sites to get this. My favorite is the BookMakersReview site, they have a list of the best sportsbooks and betting sites which they keep updating so you get up-to-date info. You can also check in their reviews if the site you're looking for has what you want and need from it. I'll leave the link here if you want to check it out https://www.bookmakersreview.com/best-sportsbooks/ I'm sure it will help you.

Hope this helps anyone out there.

1. The reputation. At first I check their users reviews and comments.
2. Then looking for which support non kyc .
3. It is also a matter that does the sites run in my country. Even then you use it by VPN ,but here sometime you can face problem.
4. The red flags for me is -

• large amount of min deposit
• large amount of min withdrawal
• high withdrawal fees

    You can check here the Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos
• You can also avoid these sites

What if you found out that they have a marketing/promotions on going on bitcointalk, what impression you would give? I supposed good? But you should rework that because there are also scam sites that are being advertised here 1xbit for example but there might be some others which I am not aware of but I guess you will still find the truth about them later on because I can see how careful you are before you try any sportsbook.

Having a license is also one of my bucket list but unlike you I don't take the time to read the privacy page, I don't know why but I know that they are also important and it has something to do with our data's. For the about us, I sometimes read this. Reading this will allow us to know the vision and mission of the sportsbook and also if they are connected to some other sportsbook or gambling sites.

review sites does not represent anything at all for regular gamblers because we knew that majority of them are paid sites that will make reviews depend on how you deal with them , they can attack or support you depend on the amount involved so yes this is nothing to do with the result.
trust can be gain but this will take time as the site needs to prove this first .
