New and updatable list of casinos to avoid !

Thanks for all of these information, I might try one of them but for sure just to see if I really need to avoid some casinos.

Thanks rena!

great post, thanks - Keren

Hi Keren and welcome to LCB.  I've removed your email address for obvious reasons  -  I'm sure you don't want spammers.

You may want to update this list with the actual gaming sites, since most do not know that some companies have multiple gaming website.  For example:  Locopanda used to be good but have gone downhill, they are sub gaming company.  And Bovada-Dont get me started on their cheating ways.

hmmmmm dreamguardian,i thought about those casinos u mentioned 2 but i think as far as lcb is concerned ,the rep is still working on fixing the problems

Thank you so much for that list. I have spent so much money at these online casinos and have never won anything. I just uninstalled all of them from my computers .Maybe that's why they were running so slow. You have shed the light for me. Again thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey all, just found out some bad detail about DiamondVIP casino. I was thinking about playing and thought I'd check out the bonus terms. I found out unless you hit a recognized jackpot there's a max cash out of 10X your deposit. So if you play Video poker like I do and happen to hit the royal flush (4000 coin win), and you deposited $100, you'll only get $1000. Thought you all should know. I won't be playing there ever.

I believe diamondvip is Top Game.  I wouldnt even consider playing there regardless of any terms.  Actually I wouldnt even type that name in my internet browser.

Thanks for the good work Dirkeman! 

Havent seen him (Dirkeman) around in this thread for a long time now.
Any1 have contact with him?

Can some1 take over or help him with this thread pls, so it continues?

we all just add casinos to this thread when needed

i think he plays in 3dice casino sometimes though

Good and bad news about Desert Nights casino;
GOOD NEWS: I had a great experience here, support staff was very friendly, got a great bonus and managed to win a good amount. BAD NEWS: Being in Europe (I think somewhere near Greece) they don't do overnight checks and use wire transfers instead. Since I'm from the US, our banks have some tricky restrictions on international transfers and not knowing that my bank (credit union) uses what they call a correspondent bank (an additional account number), the 1st wire attempt failed and cost me $100 of my amount. Overnight checks are much nicer, too bad, I liked playing here.

Bad experience with Catseye casino;
I know this casino is still on the black list, but I did have good experiences at the other Virtual group casinos, Planet7, Royal Ace, Slot Madness, winning quite a few times. Eventually they cut off the no restriction bonuses
(I understand, no problem). So I moved on and created an account at Catseye and they wouldn't even let me log in. When I asked why, they said I was on the list for free chip bonus abuse or something like that. I have deposited lots of money in their other casinos and know better to only take a bonuses in between deposits if they happen to be available. It's just an excuse. When I asked for an apology I got no response. I'm an honest person and try my best to understand and follow the rules of these casinos. This is a smack in the face. Probably just one bad person made a bad decision. I thought I'd hear from them but no. I would suggest you all stay away from this casino until management has been improved.

CASINO ROYAL CLUB IS A NO!

Oh right, not all casinos in the world are worth playing. Thanks for the information guys! Really appreciate it. But if you were looking for exclusive bonuses and big prizes for December and Christmas time, mind you visiting this site no spamming

Hello all....RE: SLOTOCASH warning
I consider myself an experienced online gamer and I need to share this chat with all of you thinking of playing at Slotocash for the purpose of helping the online gaming community's reputation for honesty.
As I usually do I contact chat support for the best bonuses for Video Poker. Trey was the rep who responded with a 100% bonus for table games with no max cash out and 25X playthrough. I asked "25X if I play only Video poker?" I even followed that statement with the comment: "ok that sounds good as long as it's not double or 50% per dollar wagered playing VP"
So before I deposit I check the bonus details and what do I see? It states all the games playthrough amount per dollar wagered. Most all of them except Slots and Keno say .25

This is the chat for all to read:
info: You are now chatting with 'Trey'
Trey: Welcome to Casino Support. My name is Trey. How may I assist you today?
you: Hello Trey, is the slotoxmas good on video poker and what is the playthrough?
Trey: Just a moment please, while I look into that for you.
Trey: Video Poker is not allowed
you: do you have any bonuses for video poker?
Trey: Did you used TABLE1MATCH already?
you: not sure
Trey: May I please have your account username (login) or email address?
you: XXXXX,  XXXXXX
Trey: I have redeemed for you TABLE1MATCH
Trey: video poker is allowed
you: please explain the details
Trey: 100% bonus
Trey: minimum deposit
Trey: $20
Trey: no max cash out
you: playthrough?
Trey: playthrough x25
you: 25x if I play only video poker?
Trey: yes
you: ok that sounds good as long as it's not double of 50% per dollar wagered playing vp
Trey: this is for table games
you: ok, it's in there already? I just need to deposit?
Trey: Yes
you: thanks for the help, have a good day
Trey: You are welcome
Trey: Have a nice day and remember we are delighted to assist you 24/7.
you: Hey Trey, the coupon details say playthrough amounts per dollar waged is .25?
you: on Video poker. that equals 75X my friend
you: are you still there?
Trey: moment please
Trey: That means 1 dollar wagered will count as 0.25 toward winnings
you: Yes, so you mis-led me by telling me 25X when its really 75X
Trey: The playthrough is 25x(deposit+bonus)
you: not if i play VP
you: like I asked you to tell the playthgrough for
you: do you think I'm stupid?
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to XXXXXXX at the end of your chat.
you: This has happened to me before and if you want to keep the online gaming business going with a good reputation, you cannot lie or try to mis-lead people.
Trey: I did not lied to you.
Trey: Indeed the playthrough in the system is showing x15
Trey: x25*
you: you said 25X playthrough if I play VP, but its not. Its really 75X because it says per $1.00 wagered is .25
Trey: Is that I did not took in count that VP is 1 to 0.25
you: sorry thats not true it really 80X
you: i was mistaken but its worse
you: You should understand these bonuses and I believe you do.
info: Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Jessica'.
info: You are now chatting with 'Jessica'
Jessica: Hello "you"
Jessica: I am Jessica
you: Hello
Jessica: How are you doing?
you: I'll give you a few moments to read the transcript before you comment
Jessica: yes, please
you: I'm doing fine thank you
you: I try to be polite, I am an honest person and expect another business, even an online gaming business to be honest too.
Jessica: I just read the chat you had with Trey
Jessica: Well,
Jessica: as he said to you, VP contributes to 25% of wagers
Jessica: that means if the bonus TABLE1MATCH has a 25x times as playthrough,
you: he said that afterwards
Jessica: You will need to play 4 times more the bonus
you: yes 80X
Jessica: Yes, I am sorry for the mistake
you: not 25X
you: Maybe you think this is a simple mis-understanding but to us players it's a very important detail, when we ask a specific playthrough for a specific game.
you: on the coupon details it does not even say 25X
you: on playthough details it says "played"
Jessica: Yes "you", I understand you and please apologize us for that; he is still in training and maybe because of this he is not informed about all these specific details
you: I'm not sure how many people named Trey there are in this job position but I know I've spoke to at least one before.
you: I am a member of several online gaming sites that rate and comment and even interact with reps from each casino group. I plan on posting this
you: sad, really I love playing online but it's such a mis-trusted thing.
you: this is why
Jessica: We strive to always give you the most exciting and entertaining casino experience by bringing all the thrills of our casino to the comfort of your own home
Jessica: and we value our customer’s time, and we strive to provide you the most responsive Customer Support
Jessica: It happens that sometimes some of new agents doesn't know some specific details about some offers, but again, please accept our apologizes for the inconvenience
you: thanks for the apology
you: I won't be back. sorry

BOTTOM LINE FOR ALL:
1. Don't accept everything they tell you as truth (and they do sometimes make mistakes)
2. Check the coupon details for yourself before depositing or playing
3. Check the box to have the chat transcript emailed to you for your reference
4. Keep these people honest by exposing any who you feel tries to intentionally mis-lead you, which I feel this person did

I know I've spoken to this guy before and although I can't find the transcript, I was just as mad then.

I think it's unfortunate that someone posts a problem here, and to you and me it may seem clear what the problem is, but the person never comes back, doesn't contact the rep, and just goes away defeated. I think all of us (players who post here) feel like we share a common interest and would be glad to offer some help.

AC ("Always Cool") Casino confiscating funds, won't discuss
This came to our attention when a player reported having their $26,000 balance confiscated -- $3000 of which was cashable due to "max WD" limits -- when they requested payment. No explanation was given and the casino's Customer Service and management would not reply to the player. The player came to us with the PAB to which the casino's only response was:
Our policies do not allow us to speak with anyone who is not the owner of the account in question.
I repeatedly emailed them explaining that we were involved at the player's request and offering any number of options to verify our authenticity in order to proceed with the player's issue. The casino ignored it all. Having policies that "don't allow" them to discuss issues such as confiscations and unpaid withdrawals seems suspiciously convenient.

Warning: AC (aka "Always Cool") Casino (onlinecasino.ac) is confiscating player monies without explanation. They ignore player complaints and refuse to discuss player issues. Players are strongly advised to avoid this casino.

List of not Recommended Casinos

Not Recommended Casinos
The "Not Recommended" casinos are just that, they are casinos that are not recommended because of substandard customer service, poor support, serious payment delays, bad bonus terms, and questionable business practices. Simply stated - these are casinos that you should avoid until they have corrected these malfunctions.

That's a  long list!
I would guess that slow payment would be true for most. I'm curious what  would constitute  fast payment? Love to hear from others on this. The fasted I've ever been paid is 17 days from cash out. (all required documents submitted and approved previously)

I forgot to add,  it's great to see reasons that the casino is on this list.

        Wow! bigdk that's a long list.  Thanks for doing the legwork,  nice to see none of the ones I like are on it. 

10 minutes Blue? WOW, that would be great. I do agree with you, if they can debit your card in seconds, they should be able to pay within minutes or at worst a few days if they have to send a check. It's odd that many casinos have to hire a processor located in Canada to send us a check here in the US. They tell us not to contact that processor for any reason, that they don't know what the check is for and that it would jeopardize their business. They also blame this processor for the delays in most cases.
My guess is that the delays are not because of the processor but that the processor hasn't cleared the funds from the casino yet. In the US when we deposit an out of country check or even out of state check the bank sometimes puts a hold on it for two weeks until the funds are verified. Why can't this be done electronically? Because the banks use this as a dragging their feet ploy to make interest on this money.

Does anybody else find it odd that the casino claimed "game malfunction" on that $52,000 win? I'd be extremely upset. Malfunction my @#!*> (see winning screenshots)

My favorite online casino with live dealers. There are no hangups, the dealers are pleasant. Nice HD video.
Williamhill
Globalclovercasino.com

Bad experience online casino with live dealers. The following casinos have a lot of hangups, therefore you lose your stake when you play blackjack and don't see the cards. At roulette you are not able to place bets due to hangups and therefore missing your lucky numbers.
Kroon casino
Oranje casino
888 casino

What is your favorite? And let me know which casino you don't like.

Another Casino group to Avoid is the Group Owner of Platinum Play and Seven Sultans Casino .
Lately their promotion department maybe pushed by some idiot made a cut to all the bonuses and the payout and  difficulty of the slots are higher then last years and winnings are never as expected ,so my advice is stay out from these casinos !
its all wasted money

Slots are based on luck the skill involved is knowing when to change slot machine by casinos to avoid Lcb mean either bad casino practice Ie silly rules that certain cough cough RTG casinos are known for and also casinos who don't payout or have clearly rigged scratchcards,poker roulette etc thats what a bad casino consists of as for video slots to play I would recommend retro reels:original the new versions are rubbish in comparison,hearts and tarts if you have at least 30 bankroll when that pays out it you know about it! also big kahuna only for the bonus round as the masks can pay big! good luck!

Very nice. A long list indeed. Now it would be too hard to choose from that enormous list.

I have just recently taken a strong liking to the online casino world, so your post has been really helpful on what to avoid. Thanks a bunch.

As far as Vegas Technology casinos, I can't vouch for Liberty or Miami because they are relatively new and have no history. I have been playing GO Casino, (now called My GO Casino) for about 7 yrs.
Last year and luckily right before X-mas, I cashed out 3X inside of a 2 month period. 2 were for $1000.00 each and 1 for $2000.00, (all USD). I received my pay-outs in 3 business days via Fed-Ex with no problems and no hassles. Of course the $45.00 fee for Fed-Ex was deducted for each as this is the only option for US players. They have 24/7 Live Chat as well as a working phone number and will politely answer any questions. Documents are the simple basics and can be emailed or faxed. Mine were approved with a courtesy notification email within 24 hrs.

Unfortunately, they do not accept new players from the US which is why I presume LCB has them listed as "closed". Just thought this might be helpful for those who already have an older account with them.

I just want to let people know to stay clear of  Gold Vip Casino because they are a rip off. To avoid having to pay out a jackpot they issue u a free chip after u have requested a withdrawal. They don't approve the withdrawal the first time and ask u to request it again but then they add a free chip which only is good for $100.00 so instead of receiving the greater amount of your requested withdrawal they go by the free chip.  That's how they get around not having to pay the jackpot amount.  Of course they always an excuse no matter what u say. BEWARE OF THIS CASINO!!!

and that's exactly what they did 0 bonuses after the first cashout .

great job dirk
crap also KROONCASINO.COM

Thanks for the list this will help a lot of people making the right choice!

I am beginning to wonder about Cleos vip room, i requested a simple cashout of 350$ back on 8/22/13 which their excuse has been that they are changing processors . What you changing right in the middle of a promotion ! Have not seen a dime yet. Sounds to me like they are running out of that so called 10 million giveaway or just don't want to give it back .

casino 777.be this casino is a scam play long time there now and the slots never give something!stay away from this casino and play some where else.

For personal experience, I would add to the list:
Crystal casino club
Bingo knights

The first, accepts only withdrawals by bank transfer but does not pay

The second, if you win, it tells you that does not accept players from your country (even though it has accepted your registration and welcomes deposits ... IIH iiih that stupid!)

Did anyone else had troubles with Crystal and Bingo Knights???

Thanks for the sharing list this will help a lot of people making the right choice.This is really good information
