Topic: ⚠️ Warning: Bons.com - Disturbing Practices, Unfair Fees & Manipulated Reviews - page 3. (Read 735 times)

I wish you would have come and asked questions before depositing your money on this casino. Sadly, people generally get bit before investigating deeper and finding information that essentially works against them. I have never heard of this casino. Based on what Whois shows me, the domain is for sale. I tried to visit the site, but I am getting an error message. Not sure if it's based on my location or if it's already down. The domain is old and has been around since 1998. My guess is that it was used for something else before it became a casino.

People hurry to try out new casinos, and I think it's the bonuses that blind them. New casinos usually introduce attractive matched deposits of 200% or more. That drives gamblers to the sites hoping they can make a quick buck. But if the wagering requirements are high (which they usually are), you will most probably lose everything.

Ma advice: Stick to proven casinos that have been around for long, are tested, and can be trusted with your money unless you will try to abuse them and cheat. Sportsbet.io is both a casino and a sportsbook. Try that. The only thing I would wish is a lower minimum withdrawal amount for beginners and low-stake players.

Yes I am also like them a newbie before becoming a gambler nowadays but it's true what you think I will definitely test the game in every new casino usually to find luck but even so I'm just a small gambler and bet small so no problem to I think that in the end the site I played on was fraudulent, but on the other hand all the sites I visited were not fraudulent.

I always rely on this forum to see reviews from the community or I myself test the site so I can share with the community here, just like the OP maybe we will never know if he doesn't disclose it here, whatever it is always respect anyone's experience because I also have experience gamble like OP, unfortunately OP relies on trustpilot while I rely on this forum. the point is don't be a loser in the end by complaining about something in this forum because of yourself. just that

this is also what my concern each time , because while we have tons of good gambling sites here that already existing for safer betting yet they are exploring in new or other casino.
are they truly seeking for that beginners luck? and in the end will be a loser or victim of scam sites?

So sorry about your experience. It is a pity that newbies keep falling for virtually all these unknown casino without conducting due diligence on them. They give mouth watering bonuses that are unrealistic just to get at unsuspecting audience who have no idea of their gimmicks.

They are good at tricking people to get registered with them and then they make them deposit and play and when it is time to withdraw from the wins, they start their drama of KYC and others excuses just to trap their members down and after a long battle with KYC they start telling you stories and block your account with them. These are the stories such casino play to but anyways it is nice you mentioned them here. If you can, create a thread for your own experience at to he reputation or scam accusations board with evidence that members could see it and possibly of possible act on it for you but the chances would be minimal to get at them but you have already created awareness here about the casino.

Thank you for sharing the experiences in the Bons.com casino, this will give us, new to the platform, some insight on how the casino operates.  Since @OP stated the unfair practice of the casino, it is more likely that we who have read the testimony of the user and his experience, will avoid this type of casino.  Although some are unverified since @OP does not give any supporting document on his claim of, something like screenshot or some sort as proof.  I would love to see the proof @OP had base on bad experiences on this casino and its unfair system.

Wagering requirement is available in any casino especially when we just deposit some amount and then withdraw it to another wallet.  This is the way of the casino against money laundering and the KYC requirement is just normal where you give a picture of yourself holding your ID and a paper with their site name on it.  It is the verification that you own the ID and it is normal in any KYC proceedings.

I can also share my terrible experience with this site.I used sportsbook and I was limited  while playing with bonus so I had to complete rollover while placing hundreds of bets with 1-2 euro bets.Then when i tried withdrawalit was one of the worst verification processes I ever had.They asked for selfie after selfie.I sent them more than 10 selfies from different angles, in front of computer with my profile , also with notes of todays date.Then they asked for Skype verification and finally even asked for source of wealth, which was again completely unnecessary since my deposit was only 100 euros.
Do not register and play here - also in tedbet.com which is the same as bons

This is the standard KYC verification process of all the casino or any crypto services in general since selfie with the ID is proof that you possess the valid and not purchased online from someone. Although this procedure can still be tampered but this is the standard and I don’t see this as red flag.

However, the number 4 point is what make this casino very alarming. Charging 10% withdrawal fee is overkill since other casino offer free withdrawal fee.


What’s they wagering requirements? Because this is acceptable if they only have x1 wagering requirements to aboid user on committing mixing in the exchange since mos of the casino doesn’t allow withdrawal witnout meeting the wagering requirements.

How did you find this casino? I already saw that the casino is listed on casino.guro, but I'm still curious to know how you found this casino and why you didn't choose to use the old and more reliable casinos, you chose this casino in particular, when I saw this thread I was thinking : What the hell is this casino that I’ve never heard of? So I decided to access the link so I could see what this casino would do to make you create an account there, man, I must confess that right from the beginning I discovered the reason why you created an account at this casino, I suppose you were attracted by that:



the casino has many bonuses, although it is something that all casinos keep doing, it is important to observe how often the casino gives bonuses, the type of bonus and whether the casino has constantly changed bonuses, because when a casino does not have a fixed bonus, something as always and for many years they have a sign-up bonus, weekly bonus, they keep changing it, one month they give x value of sign-up bonus, in other months they change the value of the sign-up bonus so this is a sign that the casino still doesn't have an ideal form of bonus. I like old casinos because they maintain their types of bonuses, even if sometimes they reduce the bonus amount a little, yet the old casino remains faithful to its bonus

This shows the consistency of the casino, while what happens in new casinos is a form of trap, they use the bonus as a way of attracting people to steal from them and as they want to steal in a way that makes it seem like they are not stealing, so they use their money as weapons, and with that they manage to stay in the gambling market for a long time. Well, from what I read you intend to create a casino review site, there are already reliable sites that do this. but if you still want to create it, then you will have to work hard to have a good reputation on this forum, only then can your website be famous and trustworthy

I do think that in order to genuinely know the reviews of a certain gambling platform, this forum has the most impartial reviews from all the forum users.

Like what was mentioned, reviews given may be bought in order to conceal the shady practices of a gambling website. Again, do not trust any review site UNLESS it came from this forum from any of the trusted/legitimate users here.

In conclusion, it is normal to rely on the feedback given by some third-party review site regarding a certain casino. But in order to be more sure, you can always post and ask the users here in this forum to give an extra layer of security. Better safe than sorry!

People keep experimenting with new platforms while there are already plenty of tested and trustworthy sites. You are right: the best way to know how a certain service works is to read/listen to real and unbiased players who talk about their experience. Of course, you can find testimonials which were paid or are directly false, so you have to keep yourself wary and look for contradictions.

Someone who finds the verification too complicated can leave the casino and look for another less complicated one. We have to choose the casino based on what we are looking for and we don't join the casino based on the promotions they provide. Maybe ID requirements have become normal in casinos as a condition for verifying our gambling accounts. But if they ask for more, including selfies, maybe we should rethink verification because if our goal is to gamble just for fun, we shouldn't need to verify the gambling account until it's complete. Casinos should also understand that not all of their members want to make money from gambling and there are some members just want to have fun by gambling and don't think too much about verification.

You've laid a fantastic foundation for your casino review website, and I'm genuinely impressed with the well-crafted original post.
It's clear you've put some thought and effort into it. But, here's a friendly suggestion to make it even better: adding some real evidence, like actual data or examples, could make your thread way more convincing. Plus, it'll help folks see that it's not just a self-promotion thing.

I'm actually pretty excited to see where your project goes from here! Good luck with it, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

    -   I will quickly lose interest if what I can see and read in the image is accurate, and I concur that the evaluations are fabricated and paid for. Even though TrustPilot is a compensated review site, I'm not sure. Because of this, it's wise to examine a casino before parting with cash to gamble there.

Because if you don't behave in this way, you'll undoubtedly run into trouble when you want to withdraw money from the casino playing platform. To ensure that the money we deposit is not lost, it must also have a license to operate.

OP I have read all you have said and I see you say have been a follower of this platform for so long but you registered here on the 29th of August 2023 and you made this post the following day and it made me wonder why you have been aware of this platform for long as you have said and have not done anything here or is this an alt account of yours to hide your identity?

I think this is not the right board for this as it has to do with reputation of a casino. So therefore it would be nice you move it to reputation board

Reviews are sometimes being manipulated by organisation's. They pay for fake reviews and also to remove reviews pointing out their lapses as well. The best form of review is a personal experience about the process. If you get involved in engagement with them that would give you more clues on who they really are so as to be cautious while dealing with them.

Nevertheless, the casino you mentioned is not popular and I think their presence is not recognised here. So I would advise you to try making use of reputable casino here so that if any issues arises in the future, it can be handled easily without any much problems of protocols.

With respect to KYC, OP should know that this is what virtually all casinos and exchange does. They demand for it based on the existing laws of wherever they are operating from and in that case would not want to default so as not to fall out with the government of their jurisdiction. So in that case, OP KYC is not a new thing neither is it an issue although it is actually against the real decentralisation goal but it is ones decision to choose if to do KYC or not.

Your experience as a first timer is what makes them call crypto names. These are the reasons why people fall victim of scammers and scams and after everything and their first time experience they put the blame on Bitcoin and crypto to be scam while they had forgot to do their own research before engaging. You said you have known this platform for long at least you should have checked for reputable casinos here and make your choice before dealing rather than going after an unknown one.

However, it is nice you are sharing your experience you encountered with this casino so that other members would see it and take caution or possibly do away with them. Your experience is worth learning from OP.

Thanks for sharing.

I see that is what it is, you want to raise your own website of course.

So how are you going to get such genuine feedback or reviews from users willingly or how are you going to convince readers of those reviews that what they are reading is genuine feedback.
The feedback mechanism is no more trusted and that is why when you see a review that attracts you but signing up, you get something not as expected.



These two above points are what I picked out from your complaints to be worried about. If a casino has hidden charges then it means they are not sincere to their customers. Otherwise, KYC is the same thing everywhere.

Agree with you, at least share whatever experience you have playing at any casino, especially since they don't seem to have ANN on this forum, at least you will get a valuable lesson from your experience, indeed sometimes it has to be painful to get more experience and even have to risk losing in order to be better well, I often like that but believe me one day we will find the best casino site ever and can be trusted.

Trustpilot is not reliable, even the reviews there can be bought or paid by someone to make a review there, so it's not a benchmark that the site is good, I've also just heard of this site, never touched it, but my advice is that you can look for a real casino site. good on this forum, look for where their team is active to answer all complaints also on this forum and has a good reputation from the forum community, to be honest I play at a much safer casino in fact I've been playing for almost a year without any problems because it's nice to see the reviews on this forum and their reputation in this forum. 

I am no where trying to side this unknown casino, but I want to correct OP who thinks that selfie with ID requirement is intrusive, what are you expecting? If any platform ask for your ID only it means they are weak, asking for selfie is normal and all top exchanges do ask for it this days, I passed my Kucoin KYC days ago and they asked for a selfie with the ID, same with Binance exchange and Huobi, there is nothing wrong with this requirement.

Reviews can be bought to change the legitimacy of the casino. So don’t always rely on reviews while choosing the casino. Moreover to be honest I never have heard about the casino. I am just wondering, how did you get to the site? These type of sites attract users by tempting promotions, and once you deposit money, your account gets blocked. So always try to play in casinos with good reputation. Else no one will be blamed other than you for the loss of money.

Seriously, though.
One casino has to be specially bad if their have both unfair terms of service and at the same time they intend to take over money from "dormant" accounts. 

I could understand that having a lot of accounts which do not have much activity can be a hassle for casinos, specially those not big enough to invest more money in their structure and keep track of the balances of all their users, still I do not think money should be cut short from the integrity of their gamblers as this website does.

How I wish you had looked through sites like casinoguru before using them. All red flags can be seen, unlike Trustpilot, whose reviews can easily be manipulated. For example, 1xbit had so many negative reviews, but they instead deleted the genuine negative reviews and left fake positive reviews giving the casino a high star score which was the complete opposite of what they were doing to their customers

They have 8 complaints on casinoguru and their safety index is low with a score of 4/10
