Topic: Is lack of proof a problem for you or not? - page 4. (Read 897 times)

It is not difficult if you want to know if a casino or gambling center is well registered or licensed because, if you go through their website you will surely find all their documents that guarantee that the casino or gambling center is legal.

If you can watch some casino or gambling center very well, you will discover that some people prefer to gamble in some casinos or gambling center because, all the details they want to know about the casinos or gambling center has be confirmed that the casino or gambling center is well registered from their country and their government is fully aware about such casinos or gambling center.

I don't really care about all that because as long as what I use is trusted casino that clearly has an official license then that is more than enough, with regard to whether the gambling site is regulated or not, all of that can clearly be answered by the license they use.
Moreover, each gambling site will clearly provide series of proof of the license used and is usually listed very clearly at the bottom of the initial page, there we will see and be able to read it directly and can check for more detailed information.

No, license will never be guarantee that gambling site will not commit fraud because there are several gambling sites that have been licensed but are still scam gambling sites and have harmed many gamblers.
But at least having license can provide confidence that the chances of fraud or scams occurring are much smaller, moreover we can see how trusted and active customers are on gambling sites.
If gambling site is officially licensed with high trust and there are lots of active customers then it is clear that it is an example of gambling site that can be relied on.

For regular players like us, it is very difficult to ask the casino to prove whether they have an operating license or not. There are dozens of players, they can't vouch for each one. And do you know whether the documents they show you are legitimate or not? We can only check ourselves through the official websites of licensing regulators. Each country has a specific authority that regulates the licensing of online casinos. For example, in the UK it is the Gaming Classification Authority that manages the licensing and regulation of online casinos. Besides, reading reviews and feedback from previous players can help you get an overview of that casino.
Having an operating license can partially reduce scams. However, casinos have many ways to circumvent the law as well as sophisticated tricks to openly cheat that you cannot predict. Therefore, whether or not there is an operating license is only a small factor in assessing the reputation of a casino. The most objective assessment should mostly come from real players.

Or maybe we should also consider some instances whereby you could have made your necessary verifications to ascertain your fact about a particular gambling casino to later discover that they are not up to the required standard for you to entrust your fund with them, you cant use the license approval for operation as a proof on what to take in trusting a gambling platform, though it can only be part of the requirement we may choose to use as criteria's in selecting for the best.

I think many of them use their license to attract people, most often they post about this license on their social media page, like in X platform for example, you will see it in their Bio Description and also places like Instagram, it's easy to sort them out. The only challenge here is that the casino might be individually difficult to verify but I think a casino cannot be bold to post about their license online without unless they want to get into another problem.

I have not verify a license before but Google is a big place to have a solution for that. If truly they are license, their is an agency that give them that number online, you can easily verify that from the official website to know about the company. Mostly I think licensing platforms are free to access by anyone to verify genuine status of a company or a product.

Are you referring to the same whitepaper/lightpaper that an ICO project used to market themselves back in 2017/18? Which casino does that? I never heard of one unless they're launching their own token (which is basically an ICO too). Some of them make ANN threads, which is common practice in this forum. I don't think it is similar to ICO and its derivative since you don't necessarily have to buy tokens or spend money to check whether they are running a good business or not.

The license is good but it's not the right parameters that should show how trusted one casino is, I'll still go for players' feedback, and complaints that are resolved, and community interaction.

1xbit is one casino that uses the license to its advantage to scam people you are looking in the wrong direction if you just look at the license and entice you sign up and play, you have to be good at research to be able to play at the right casino and license is not everything.

I think there whitepager or light paper fully explain brief history about casinos, most times if you are not careful you would not find time to monitor. As a gambler or bettor, before you signed up any casino or gambling site make your time to do your research before going into making bets in that site. Most of the scam associated with casino is that they are verified and, also it's something we can't do away from because cryptocurrency industry is occupied with scammers and they come in different to scam people. This was what happened during the ICO, IEO and IDO dead using it to scammed investors and made away with there heart earned money.

I love the optimism but you don't have the depth of understanding how malicious a person can be just to make money, people are faking a lot of things every now and then, what's a fake license to them but just another gig to prey upon innocent people. Picture this, if you're that person that owns an illegal(unlicensed) casino and you can get away with it, you'd be doing all the work to make sure you make the most out of it right? Pretty sure that you're going to be doing that, no way that you'd just let that kind of thing slide.

Lack of proof is definitely a red flag for me in a casino but it's difficult to not show your license as a casino because some of the players would be asking and most of the time it's easy to show it in your FAQ or About page so not showing them is a bit counterintuitive to do so.

We all know here that there are ways to verify the authenticity of a license, the casino will not put its reputation in trouble just by faking the certificate and trying to fool the community.

Here is the tutorial on how to verify and validate a Curacao license if the method is not working in a platform then there's a possibility that the platform does not have a license at all and just faking it.

I don't use a casino that is not use by many people. When u see a casino is popular, their must be a unique reason why people use it and from their, I go over their footer to check if they have the licnence print on them, most casino that are licensed don't joke with their licencd. They make sure to make it public and how do you verify if their license is real, just head over to the websites that issue licensing, you can input the registration number and see for yourself if they are real and in some cases you can contact the agency to verify if the are real, this way yiu can clear the doubt.

I hope you know that a casino can be licensed and yet they wouldn't have good reputation, they will be freezing customers fund and doing some shady deals under the ground and you might not even be able to speak up. There was this casino that use to do something ugly like that, they called them 1xbit, a lot of complaints from customer and the casino claim to be registered.

Showing a legal proof of registration and regulations is a very important element in the online casino games, that any gambler must put it into consideration if he wants to be on the safer side.
Most casino site has fraudulent practices where by they operate In such a way that you will never win. They determine the outcome to always be against the player where by enriching themselves.

So it should be a thing of consideration to know how the game is been regulated so you don't waste your hard earned money to a scam casino site. They only play with your mindset and emotions making you think that you will only be lucky after a hundred tries.

Yes, most gamblers only want an online gambling site that has a good reputation, in my opinion that is enough. And also having good reviews can help ensure that the site is really good, and I think those two factors are the most important.
Actually, to ensure whether the online gambling site is licensed
Whether it is legal or not is actually easy if we really want to do it. And we can visit the gambling authority site that issues the license and look for the name of the online casino site that we want to use, whether it is legal or not. But most gamblers don't want that, and they just want a reputable online gambling site that is enough.

You don't know exactly what happens inside the house, you just know what you see from the outside. We can't be 100% sure whether casinos tell the truth or lie to us but I know that in some countries gambling is very regulated and even online casinos are often audited. The government sends people to audit their software and hardware to check for fairness. I don't know if that happens in crypto casinos that have Curacao licenses but there is another trick that will help you to have a good and fair gambling experience: Stick with casinos that are popular on this forum. If you see a casino on this forum that is popular, has a positive trust rating and is active on this forum, then stick with that casino, there are many crypto casinos that you can trust with a blind eye.

I don't care much about whether I can verify the licence of a casino or not most of the time. Where I focus more is whether the casino is offering the kind of quality service that they offer and how successful people who gamble with them have been able to win games and make withdrawals without any problem. These are the areas that I pay attention to very well.
 
On the aspect of whether scams will reduce if the number of licenced casinos is made public, to me, the thing might even promote more scams as people might pay less attention to things they should have taken very seriously as a result of trusting the licencing authority to do the right thing. Those people can use fake identities to make their verifications, and you never can tell. A lot of things are happening these days online.

I usually go with trust and using common sense. If i really am not able to figure out if the casino is legit or not, i rather not use it, but it's not like i will be hunting for proof and contacting the companies that gave the licence and double check via them that they indeed are regulated.

If the site looks reputable enough and ToS is making sense, and top of that there are no huge number of users that complain about it in public forums, i risk it and trust them. As i don't see why it would be up to me to have any extra stress by using them while not trusting them.

But then again i am not playing with any life changing amounts that would require it. And i have been in this space from 2014 so i am familiar with working without any trust. Any casino these days beats legitimacy of sites from those times. They basically operated on trust, and regulations were frowned on. But if i find anything sketchy from a casino, or if they lack quality and professionality, i'll just stop using them. One place that i left that seemed like a scam just changed their name, probably because of all the bad rep and other one i left is still operating but i am waiting for an exit scam based on some lie at any moment.

Most licensed casinos have their clickable gambling license logo on their page, where it will direct you to the licensing site and see if it is indeed legit/valid license. If not, you can do what GxSTxV has suggested above.

Now, if you have qualms in using the casino, despite of its license, you can also check its reputation among the community. In this board or the gambling board itself can very well give you idea if the casino is reputable or not. That is, if you are playing on a casino that can be found in the forum. So even if the casino has no license or not, you can still check if the casino is worth trying or checking out. There are still several casinos here found in the forum that operate without license, and yet they still have loyal patrons on their site.


That is actually true, there are still licensed casinos and yet, it doesn't stop them from screwing their players by not releasing their winnings or by freezing their account for no valid reason. Do take note, how many players have you really read or seen that actually reported a casino or gambling site to the licensing authority? And for sure, no one yet. For now, license logo is just like an added assurance to the players that they are running legit but not an ultimate feature that will tell the credibility of the gambling site.

Licensed casinos provide the license number and reference to be verified in the original county website where you can easily put that reference and check if that casino is really licensed with the original link to direct you to the casino website and not a stolen name as well, it’s easy for any other scam casinos to fake being licensed but when it comes to verifying, nobody can fake a license inside the government license checker, as the information there are only for those who have purchased and paid the fees.


That’s not the only issue, everyone and every player now can verify the license provided by the casino if it’s real or fake, the bigger issue and from what I have observed is many casinos running with valid licenses, still scam people without consequences. A proof of license is not enough to prevent scam casinos in my opinion.

That's a good question. I guess most of the people don't bother to go and find out if the gambling site they gamble on is legit or not.
Even I haven't made such efforts to verify the gambling site. I just prefer to gamble on sites which have a good reputation.
I consider reputation to be the most important factor for a site to rely on.

Never had thoughts of it. When I'm looking for a platform or gambling site to be more specific, I only engage with small amounts for the whole month, although I am not a heavy bettor in the first place. If things are fine then I'd just continue and with this, if ever I m in doubt of their credibility I could leave anytime I want. If I would ever be engaging huge amount of money then I'd choose those which are known by many and not those which are just newly operated. If you're in doubt then move to other platforms. As far as I know they don't usually publish their registration number or ID in their platform. Well, ofcourse it would somewhat increase the trust of players on their site however, registered or not, if they have the motive to do things which I doubt they would be too reckless to catch the attention of public, then they would regardless if they are registered or not. This is why I seek for a platforms social proofing and reputation more than with numbers and papers that could be easily tampered.
