I always believe which is already reputed but for new one I try to check first how it works then I take a decision either I will use it or not and sometimes I may take help from others if they used it.
We can't really say that a gambling site is good or not if we are not going to try it. I also try using a new gambling site but I've always ended up into the old one because I used to play on that site and I always want to go for a games that I know I can play. I will also choose the old one because its already trusted by many gamblers, new casinos should be more aggressive on improving their site so they can have enough gamblers to play.
Of course, you can get your opinion about the gaming site just by trying to play on it. However, sometimes it is enough to hear a few negative reviews about the site from people whom you trust, so that you lose the desire to experience this gaming site.
Actually, mostly gamblers have their ones favorite casinos, where they always like to play and trust on it. But as a newbie definitely they play in casinos then they decided which one is better and trust-able then they will choose it.
But i don't think it is hard to decide that which casino is best, for me in bitcointalk forum, mostly all are good and trust-able.
I try to be careful about praise ratings even from friends. Therefore, at the beginning I will try to bet on small amounts and only after that, if I liked everything, I begin to trust this casino.
Agreed. By reading the negative reviews, we should get one clue that if the gambling site is good or not so we can stay away from them. It's better to prevent than to lose the money. If the new site can get many positive reviews, then I think it's worth to try, but it's not guaranteed that the new site will not do scam. But I am sure that every new gambling site wants to get more and more positive reviews from their member so they lift their rating so they can be one of the recommended gambling sites.
With negative reviews, everything is easier. All that you risk in the event that the reviews were not real, then you simply will not use another casino. But in this case, you do not risk your money.
