Nowadays its easy to fake the reviews and ratings for a gambling site. Google can help you to give an idea about the specific site but its best to have other sources to verify their reputation which you can find here in the forum. Search for that gambling site and you can find the reviews and experience of gamblers. Much better to only gamble in a reputable gambling site to not get any problem when you play.

Google is also giving consent to those fake reviews,Google is one place where manys cams are getting on it so prevent trusting google .
and also yeah this forum is one good place where to find legitimate gambling sites but it doesn't mean that everything here are legit.
the best way is to make your own research about these site.
and also for better and safer gambling?use those sites that has been existing here for long time now.
and i know there is a thread here that posts everything about gambling site that is valid and legit.

Therefore, before joining betting sites do the research correctly, don't be lazy to read reviews about betting sites
you will use. Of course, like ICO projects, betting sites also allow fake rating / review to occur. Which is the site
it pays to get good reviews or ratings.Therefore, choose a trusted source of reviews, such as this Bitcointalk forum.

Some review here are fake because of some post bumping services here that offers fake post on the thread so don't rely much here. Checking the status of website and there license is only thing you need to do. All legit casino has there license and provides legal documents that will prove that they are legit.

bumping a thread is okay as long as you follow the forum rules , it does not mean that its a fake site that they are promoting . you can also read the coments of that thread . easy to spot a fake site if the comments are mostly from newly built accounts and you find them talking all . it was like thier conversation is not geniune . license is a powerful tool to gain repuation but its also possible that they will use it a wrong way . you see many gambling sites on the past turns into bad too . anything is possible here

Honestly, I wasn't aware of that! Shocked

As always, I've just clicked on the tab "Show unread posts since last visit." and there I usually look for topics that interest me and every now and then I write something about them!

Why there is really a somewhat older contribution showed in front, I can not explain. Huh

But nevertheless, always an interesting topic for newbies.

i think it's fine that this thread has become active again. people need to be reminded again and again how to attack in a very straightforward manner. because there are a lot of us here, that have been screwed over and over again even if you know the basic strategies how to spot one. i agree the first thing to consult is google and you will already have long list to look at just by typing the word

Its not really that necessary imho. We know the basics and its been discussed for how many times in this forum.No need to grave dig as per forum rules.

Spotting a scam is easy but there are still dumb people who cant able to do so even how obvious it is.

@SiNeReiNZzz You should be aware next time so that you can avoid on bumping up old threads.

I dont know if you are aware or you just simply ignore the dates above.This is grave digging dude and its not necessary for you to reply on almost 2 year old discussions.

For the sake of on topic reply, then how to spot a scam? When you do see red flags with your own very eyes and when anything gets suspicious then Google would always be your friend.

By now, in the most cases, I can usually detect a scam!
But this brings the experience and the time...

For the inexperienced here I have the following BASIC TIPS (the order is not important here):

Where?

> Internet presence:

-how is the website structured?
-cheap or high-quality impression of the site?

> Legitimate business and location of the business:

-where is the headquarter located? (many scams come from e.g. Russia and neighbouring countries or Great Britain and its Oversea Territories!)
-the legal situation there?
-is everything duly registered and reported to the competent authorities?

Who?

-Who is behind the project? Just use Google Search! (in many cases will realize yourself immediately that it is a fraud!)

What?

-search (with google) the name of the project and also look under news
-what do the founder(s) of the project want to achieve?
-what is the use case?
-is the idea really new or just another copy?

Why?

-why could this project, of all projects, be successful as 1 in 10,000? (if you dont have an answer, Keep your hands off!)

I think gambling sites are very visible from some of the existing reviews, as gambling sites can not afford to buy reviews, and in real live, gambling sites will get good reviews if they are proven to be honest and pay.

I would have become happy if you say something else than to talk about good and bad sites. People are looking into gambling since long time. This can’t be ended but we must try to eliminate it slowly and gradually. We have to see how people are ruining their lives and their families are on stake. These gamblers don’t earn and they come to roads once they are finished with what they had stored.

For gambling, it not easy to spot any scams but few things can be taken care of and scam can be avoided. First do not invest big in new gambling sites as you never know their reputation. Secondly, always gambling in the well established sites and also which have good feedback on different social media. If a site is offering lot of bonus and other benefits like zero loss etc then think twice before investing as they may never let you withdraw.
This happen a few times with me as i was tempted to invest in very new site which gave high bonuses but they never let withdraw. Sad

In short, just stick out to those new gambling sites that do have some realistic welcome or bonus offer than on offering those kind of too good to be true then you should really be wary on that particular situation.
Its not really necessary for you to deposit just to test out a certain gambling site because even just on initial research or just simply checking out sites terms and designs you can able to spot it out
if they are serious on their business or just an another garbage website is being created.

Only play on gambling sites that have a good reputation, great customer support, and have fair games. There has been a lot of scam gambling sites that have popped up this past year. Just make sure to do your research and reviews from legit players and it's easy to separate the good sites from the bad ones.

What I do is I try to check the reviews, comments and ratings of the site. Do some research if there had been articles of it from before. It would be kind of sketchy if no results are found on the web. You can also ask for referral from trusted friends, or if you join a group which could recommend good sites, that’s a bonus.

Yeah, the internet pretty much lays it out for you and you just have to make efforts for your money. Discussions for me are a big help since younget ideas from people's experiences. That will tell you how reliable a site is. Think twice about offers and promis that ate too good to be true.

The lack of articles, reviews, comments, and ratings about the website can easily be bypassed by a simple "We're a new company." That's why I always gamble and trade in websites that have been around for quite a while now.

What's more sketchy, and what's more deceptive is when you find articles and websites reviewing the casino and they are all positive. Keep in mind that others are getting paid to do this. They are paid to say good things on a website they don't know about. I can totally imagine a scam website contacting a review site saying that they are going to pay them to write an article for them which covers the given topics and features of the website. It's really hard to deal with new websites as they can easily establish their name by paying out at the beginning and then run away when they've accumulated enough funds.

gambling sites will get good reviews if they are proven to be honest and pay.

That's legit, a gambling site that's paying accordingly and honest to their service will be noticed and praised.

But those scams will prevail once their shady attitude will be busted.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. If the bonus and promotional offers sound too good to be true, then carefully read the site's terms and conditions, especially regarding bonus offers and cashing out requirements, and proceed with extreme caution.

Or maybe it is a swan, but still young

, but when grown it will be beautiful

But jokes aside, I agree that caution should be applied whenever something sounds to good. The problem is that some of those sites offer very regular services, and still may try to scam you. I suggest to always start with low amounts and only when something gets tested and proved legit not once, not twice, but many many times over, only then increase the amount.

Just I have surfed on Google and found that this site is being useful to find the reviews about the various projects and you can find the more quick guides on the many projects in the crypto gambling industry. Hope this may be helpful for the guys like you.

Even I have created the thread on this section to understand which is more trusted to gambling. Reviews may work better to learn and earn in gambling.
