Exactly, even if the reviews on a review website were honest at the end of the day you need to do your due diligence anyway, besides it would be a mistake to trust the judgment of a single person when it comes to a service, as a popular casino serves a lot of clients every day, however that is not even the case when it comes to review websites, they take money from casinos to give good reviews and basically publish whatever they are told by the casinos, defeating their reason to be and as such there is no reason to use a great deal of those websites until proven otherwise.
Review sites are just an explanation of the list of online casinos published on the website, so some site owners affiliate with certain casino sites to increase the recommended top rankings to visitors, so there is no need to trust any review sites and do your own research to find out more hidden facts from online casino sites, I recommend staying focused on online casinos available on the forum because each casino has an active discussion thread from member responses and also admins are involved in discussions to provide solutions or the latest information.
When we do talk about review sites then we do have only a couple of which could really be trusted or something worth on reading.Its true that we do have lots in the market and most of them are just
biased and trashed reviews which it cant really be something that you could trust.

Therefore, when you do tend to make use or deposit on a site then you should always look for real time feedbacks and comments about it.
And decide whether you do really make decisions on pushing on playing or not.

We do have our own will and just dont make yourself that dumb.

I guess there is perhaps one thing that I left out. Ok, maybe two things. First, as you mentioned if there are reviews and feedback from real, other people (other than the review site itself) then you could take the review site a bit more serious and if you deem the review site a bit trustworthy then you could use it as a data mine for your own research. However I would still check whether or not the data from the review site is accurate. It could be made up or inaccurate.

As I said, best method is to do your own research at all times, no matter what.
Some do really rely on what information that they do saw into the market and on making up some research then it would be helpful most of the times but there are people who are really that too suspicious on things

which they would tend to make out some small deposits first then they would really be judging whether those reviews and feedbacks were legit and true or totally the opposite.

Yes, its dumb to make out deposits directly but there are indeed people who do accept the risk just for them to prove out something that they do have in mind.
Lets give thanks on them sometimes yet they do save up people on doing that part.

Yes, you're right with that statement, I don't know if you remember a thread made by a well-known member in the forum who was in a new casino, who didn't have a thread Ann here in the forum, but he played and was going to make a withdrawal and they started telling him no for very dumb reasons, and then that user said that he was a Legendary member of Bitcointalk and that he was going to make a thread on gambling just to advise everyone not to go into his site and mark it as untrustworthy, after This, they allowed him to withdraw, it really shows that the forum has a lot of power over the casinos, sports betting, it is because of the high level there is.
I guess, me too remember that case don't know exactly what casino but it really happened so if a casino is legit and don't even have representative here on bitcointalk still they care about the discussion going on here because they know it will affect their business a lot if they were marked as shady website also many reputed reviewing site also give attention to the experience of bitcointalk users about casino.
Maybe the guy threatened the casino and let them know that he is making a scam accuse thread on this forum, resulting for the casino to pay because they are also scared on what can happen to them. They know that bitcointalk is a big forum and not only limited to crypto discussions but also to gambling sites as well. Those types of casinos are not totally a scam yet but maybe they are confuse and they can end up on that path if some people will just keep quiet and do nothing after experiencing some problems.

The last thing that you said is true. Gamblingbro for example made some micro task for the users on this forum. User can leave their feedback on the casinos seen on his review site in exchange for some cash. This is to make their review site more transparent and not biased.

With many reviews about each casino site on this forum, it can provide insight for us to find a casino that is really suitable for us so that we will not be fooled by the attractive offers they provide. A casino cannot be a recommendation for people to play before that casino has ANN in this forum and can get input and criticism from members here because many members here always suggest the best for a casino. This is what people out there should pay attention to. If it's a crypto based casino, they should see if the casino already has ANN on this forum or not so they don't get into trouble later.

There are many readers all over the web and if so happens that the person who has a good influence in any forum it can ruin someone's reputation. If the site is not willing to risk their reputation, they will do their best to resolve the issue. It's very hard to established reputation and just a single mistake. The chance of ruin it is not a good way to facilitate the business.

Hello everyone, I've been using online sportsbooks for a while now, but I wanted to know how do you know how to trust those sites? What do you look for in them, what are some red flags for you, that kind of stuff. Hope it makes sense and please share what are your favorite online sportsbooks.
There are so many ways I use in analysing and gaining confidence on any online sportsbooks ,So this are some other ways:

I get to if they're registered in any of the well regulated countries , after that I go check their reviews what other users already using the say about their experiences with the platform, I look out how their support team response to customers issues , if they easily reachable and fast in response, I do this by engaging on a chat or by sending out an email to them stating an issues I have with their platform.
Then lastly is how fast they process their deposit and and withdrawals by searching content about them on YouTube to see I can find any user experience

Well, in every sense of the word we know very well that the casinos that will never let us down is stake.com. bitcasino.io, sportsbet.io, and for me from there down are the casinos that have been earning their good reputation due to their great management, such as duelbits, rollbit, roobet, Betfury, just see the people who are dedicated to doing the review of each of their sites we see from first to the most famous, the most reliable that they will not disappoint, and it is not because this selection is my favorite, I think that many users and members of the forum can give very similar opinions.

Well, of course, I can definitely confirm the list of respectable casinos that you wrote. 

For each of these casinos, a separate topic has been created here in the "Gambling" section, where players discuss specific questions from casino users, and OPs of these topics answer questions.  And often these topics were created many years ago and still work and are watched by quite a lot of BTT users.

Not just talking about the bitcointalk alone, just anywhere people are allowed to express their own experience it either can be a social media or just random article and all those stuffs collectively will help us to find shady ones for sure. Well about bitcointalk we may not find all the post made contain some information but we have some system like DT which helps us to identify the scammers if they attempted or did any shady activities.

Yes, you're right with that statement, I don't know if you remember a thread made by a well-known member in the forum who was in a new casino, who didn't have a thread Ann here in the forum, but he played and was going to make a withdrawal and they started telling him no for very dumb reasons, and then that user said that he was a Legendary member of Bitcointalk and that he was going to make a thread on gambling just to advise everyone not to go into his site and mark it as untrustworthy, after This, they allowed him to withdraw, it really shows that the forum has a lot of power over the casinos, sports betting, it is because of the high level there is.


That is the advantage for being in this forum because we have a thread or discussion here to know what casinos should be avoided and what casinos would be great to play with which is already trusted by many gamblers, I also had found the casino that suits me in this forum.
But if you're that someone who isn't a member on this forum, I think there's some information that can be found in the internet too but I'm not that sure that it is reliable because there could be some writer too who are paid to put a good word for their casino.
If we look at the types of gambling we will see where the casino platforms are but there are many of them and we have to choose the best one.  And if we get involved with the fake platform then we will lose all our money.  So if we gamble on balo platform then it will be balo for us.  But to play gambling, we must have wisdom. If we don't have wisdom, we will face many problems.

 For sporbooks as for casino, it starting by passing some time on it.. get your proper evaluation/appreciation.. rather than the reputation, test the quality of the service, this is what can reflect the more the global (spirit) of the organization!

 But indeed is licensed or not, they can change direction at any moment.. pass to another owner, change hands even without you get chance to know, or it is too late !
 So always keep awake on the indicators.. any odds cay change at anytime.

And decide whether you do really make decisions on pushing on playing or not.

That should always be the best approach. Looking for real reviews, especially if they have an ANN thread is another good reference before using that site. I just can't imagine why other users are ended up in not popular sites then it's easy for these users to just deposit without caution.

I admit, I used a site before that doesn't have an ANN thread here but my research tells me that it's not a shit casino. It's just that I found something good with the promotions so putting small money should not harm my wallet in case of some shit happened in that casino.

It really depends on our own way of picking sites. Having an ANN thread here must surely be a top priority when picking sites.

I would go as far as to say that review sites are not any longer reliable and never have been. If you really think about it, review sites are just businesses. And the way they mostly make money is not by advertisement or selling merchandise of any kind, but they sell services. Which is what they like to call it. But honestly its just the review site selling good reviews, regardless of whether the reviewed website or online gambling casino in question is any good or not. Most of the time they do not even do their research but just copy paste whatever text they are given by the customer.

When I gave up was one one review site rated 1xbit so high. It was then I became convinced about the biaseness and shady deals that are done behind the scene to deceive us.

Review sites are being used as a marketing tool by casino owners, as we know, newbies always use review websites before using that. And when they sees good ratings then people agrees to use the website, this is the reason why scam like 1xbit are still in the market. Because they keep their good rating on the review website and newbies visit their website to gamble, and then fall into scam.

I personally do not trust any review website and always look at  forum profile to make sure they have no negative feedbacks




Not only that but review sites (or at least most review sites that I know of) are basically scams which offer to give glowing reviews in exchange of money to some online gambling casino they have never even heard of, researched or tried out. This includes scam casinos that aren't actually casinos. Although they are a bit more careful about that due to the fact that in some cases they can be held legally accountable.

Still, either way, review sites are the worst. I would not trust them either. Some people are gullible and believe everything they read there, though. What a sad way to lose money.

Best thing you could do is do your own research.
Precisely. With research, you will know that these turned to be good casinos are certainly those scam casinos that you need to avoid in the first place. Review sites are already controlled by them, as they always leave good impressions made by some paid users, otherwise they would not gain any customers at all. Although I’m not saying that review sites are not longer reliable, but in most cases they are almost made to lure new players.

I understand where you are coming from. It's really hard to believe what we read online nowadays because everything could be false and totally fake just to gain a follower, profits, and engagement. It's a natural response for us to doubt if we see something good most especially if it's too good to be true because almost everything comes with a price now. These review sites are good platform to look at for newbies, however, these days, review sites become infiltrated with paid and biased reviews for promotion. Hence, it's causing confusion to the readers.

What's best to do still is of course, do our very own research and ask personally if possible fellow gamblers with their opinions, suggestions, and first-hand experience about a certain casino or gambling site. That way, we can verify that the information we got is legitimate and not just made up because it is paid.

Different experiences have different stories, there are gamblers who have good experiences with the gambling site while for some others have another take, you can use it as a basis but make sure to continue observing how the site performs, you should always be aware that using spare money to test the site and start establishing good relation within the customers service will allow you to see how the team works with their participants.

Normally if a sportsbook is good, the good reviews outweigh bad ones by a wide margin. And the vice versa. Sportsbook's operation is not something we can have our own personal opinions on. It is either good or bad. No one would enjoy unattractive odds or bad customer service.

As of "using spare money to test", I 'd recommend always using using spare money when betting.

When you make a comment and comes back to the site after a rough day and see people appreciating and giving mertis you feel happy
Yes it is correct because the forum casino is the best casino you can go into. From here is the place you can join a casino gambling that you know that is favorable and have good reputation. You know some suggestions is made to motivate other people ambition. For the merit something you said, every body like to be merited and it comes from the good suggestion

When I was a newbie in gambling, I also relied on the opinions and suggestions of people on this forum and yes, they're all reliable. Asking for help from professional gamblers here would really help you a lot since they're more experienced and they've tried different casino sites already. Suggestions and threads about casino sites on this forum are too reliable.
