In this forum if there is a scam accusation against a casino and you want to obtain the support of the community then evidence must be shown, which is why the forum is so powerful when it comes to those accusations as even if the powers of the DT crowd only operate within the forum, if a person interested in playing in such casino makes their due diligence before gambling there then they will find a link to that accusation on their search results and they can save themselves the trouble of dealing with a casino that likes to scam their customers.
As far as generic reviews are concerned, this forum is a big help. Nothing will beat the real and actual experience that different users will make compared to a review site that in most cases, really need to cover up some sites issues in order to promote them and gather some referrals.
But actually, let's take the example of 1Xbit, they are only tagged as scams and bullsh*t here in this forum. But to most reviews sites, 1Xbit does have a good review. Since not all users are lurking here in the forum, they will encounter good reviews of other sites compared to generic reviews here by the community.
In that situation, users who will encounter the site thru review sites, not just 1Xbit but for others as well, should not just end the research there. They should at least seek for another source then later on decide.
In the forum we get the real deal, many do not bother to post their positive reviews but some do, however the real value comes in the form of detailed reviews with evidence about an issue that happened with a casino, and if people were responsible with their money, as they should, then they could save themselves the trouble of being scammed, unfortunately many come here after the fact only to be surprised the casino they are complaining about has been known to scam their customers for a very long time and they are not the first ones that went through something like that.
