How to Distinguish a Scam Casino from a Reliable One

Recently, despite the global economic crisis, the casino niche has been actively growing. It seems casinos are one of the few sectors expanding rapidly.

Unfortunately, not only is the quality of casino sites improving, but their quantity is also increasing, including many “fly-by-night” operations whose main goal is to scam players and take all their money. These casinos are either unlicensed or disguised under a fake license. It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell quality casino sites apart from fraudulent ones, as scammers often claim to have licenses and follow regulations on their websites. Sometimes, thorough research is necessary to uncover the truth. So, where should you search for the truth?

1. Platforms with Real User Reviews

• Examples include Trustpilot, AskGamblers, and Casino Guru.
• Pros: These platforms allow detailed reviews with photos and screenshots. Many even have casino representatives who respond to queries promptly.
• Cons: Malicious competitors may pose as dissatisfied customers to post fake negative reviews, or casino managers may post fake positive reviews. With experience and research, you can start to distinguish genuine reviews from fake ones. However, for inexperienced players, this can be misleading.
• Tip: Don’t rely solely on online reviews from these resources.

2. Articles and Reviews

• Unfortunately, articles about casinos are often written by interested parties.
• Trustworthy information in such articles may be limited to bonus details and interface overviews, which don’t help in identifying scams.

3. Online Forums and Q&A Platforms

• Examples include Reddit, Quora, etc.
• Pros: These are among the most trustworthy sources, provided you can differentiate spammers from genuine users. Check the activity history of the account that posted the review.
• Warning signs: New accounts with little activity or accounts consistently recommending the same site should be treated with suspicion.
• Tip: A new forum called GamblingHood is emerging. It focuses on solving casino-related problems and answering player questions. Although currently available only in English, it plans to expand to other languages, including Bulgarian.

4. Streamers

• There have been scandals and exposés about streamers affiliated with casinos or game providers.
• Questions to consider:
  • Why do top streamers win so often? Are they playing with real money or tokens?
• The introduction of platforms like LiveSpins might change this landscape by allowing players to bet alongside their favorite streamers. However, there is still skepticism about whether these wins are genuine or a marketing ploy.
• Tip: Exercise caution when trusting your favorite streamer.

5. Analyzing a Casino’s History

• While some players enjoy trying new casinos, it’s safer to stick with well-established ones.
• Long-standing casinos are unlikely to risk their reputation by scamming players.
• Check:
  • When the casino was established.
  • Their presence on social media.
  • Who represents the casino.

Conclusion

In this article, we briefly covered methods to differentiate fraudulent casinos from reliable and honest ones. No single method is sufficient. Combining several verification methods before depositing money is highly recommended.

And remember, casinos are not a way to make money but a way to have fun. Play responsibly and enjoy!
