Too Many Casinos Getting a Bad Rap

Well said Lip, I totally agree with you! 

Well, people in general like to b***h and whine about everything and anything. It's easier to blame others for your mistakes than take responsibility. I'm not talking about gaming, but about things in general.

Regarding gaming and sites with bad rep. Yes, there are websites that are screaming scam, BUT it's up to each of us to think hard and well if we're going to willingly give money to that website. Gaming is accepting a risk, no matter if you play in a land based place or in a virtual one.

Again, I'm not saying that all gaming sites are honest, but when they are not, they are not 100% to blame because we gave them money.

Well said Jocher! There are Casinos that are definitely rogue and we try to update the LCB list often to caution players. But if we are going to fault a Casino it is only fair to fault the player from time to time because some have made a poor judgment call, spent too much money or simply because luck was not on their side.

Think about the lack of NO Deposit Bonuses that Casinos giveaway. A few years ago it was common and quite the norm to offer Freebies like this. Why don't many offer them anymore and why are they so scarce? We can blame ourselves.........the gambling community for finding every trick in the book to abuse No Deposit Bonuses. Too many players creating multiple accounts and those who strictly played freebies and never made a deposit.

But then again how many of us our saying today............don't blame it one me!

Blame

I agree with lipstick writing about beginnin in this topic, if customer have bad luck in casino that does'nt meen that casino is bad! It is not reasonable blame others without reason. Of course if abuse appear in casinos operation then it is time to make complaint

yep

Yes, some players are to blame but some of the complainants are legitimate. Casinos also have ways to block accounts from getting freebies that are not meant for them.  Some of the casinos hide there rules behind pages of terms but some make it easy to find so a player won't be tricked. IMO do as much research as you can before depositing . Stop running to every new casino that pops up and try to be patient for it to be reviewed . In some cases it could save you time and energy trying to get paid  .

Way too many casinos are not working as they should. My biggest complains (I wont name casinos tho) are slow payments, no live support, and even email supports takes 7 or more days to replay. In this kind of business, you got to be fast and quick on respond I suppose.

...I agree. Online makes it more difficult to verify many issues that arises. Remember its for entertainment! "play within your limits".

The title of this post is ass backwards ... it should say "Online casinos = getting robbed".
I am a successful gambler, every land based casino I participate at I am the highest level of member available, I get comped months of free stay at the resorts, all meals paid for breakfast - dinner, shows , events and concerts all free. I retired both my parents , my sister will never have to work, my kids are straight for life and I got my childrens' mother a Pendleton blanket to sleep cozy under the freeway. Big bucks, big wins , big thangs... but that's on land based casinos. Repetitive wins at online casinos are like the cure for HIV, you know it can happen, you have herd it exists , but if you ever needed it the chance you would get it is less than the chance of moon walking across the Bellagio fountain pool in Vegas Chris Angel style then pulling a loaded Mac 90 in a crowded library screaming " Allah Akbar " and being applauded as you silly slap the whore out of Miley Sirus while wearing brand new J's on your feet. I know for a fact the  Kahnawake Gaming  Commission is slacking ass on periodical checks of Slots.lv, Bovada.lv and what ever else they have stained themselves too. Example you ask.... sure, lets say you deposit with the ever queer deposit bonus and the fantastic playthrough requirements , select the game of preference and go to it. You win a few , lose a couple then win a few more. Then lets say you play as I do, and you can literally rape the casinos by doubling up something ridiculous , I am talking betting a
dollar
chip value , max bet , hit 5 of a kind on Joker Poker and double up twice in a row{ the software is around 87% sure you will not double up a win that large so if you do it will throw out a 4 or lower for you to beat} So now your up oh I don't know.... $3000 of one hand, and you do this trick about 5 times in a 25 minute run. Now you are up around $15,000 and low and behold you still have quite a bit of GAYthrough to accomplish so you continue to play... but whats this... all of a sudden you click deal yet not a damn thing happens. Hmm .... that's weird since the game was running smooth as bulge blower off china white and Nodoze. So you refresh , but instead of it simply reloading, it informs you that you have magically been disconnected from the server. Odd right but you pay it no mind, resign in and head back to do the damn thing again, but alas that is where you are pretty much on your way out as the rest of your playing experience seems riddled with glitch card deals, disconnects and the most extreme fake losses you might ever see ( double up and the dealer has 3 and you spike a 2 every f*cking time , 12 times in a row). That is the shamble of online casinos, and what can you do about it... why participate of coarse and apply the lube for the fisting you are receiving. There is no actuall support, just some box on the screen spitting sentences back to your statements in the form of" sorry , its a game of chance , or it must be your connection , or my favorite" unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about your complaint , but rest assured I will forward it to our top management personel and they will glance at the heading and hit dismiss faster than a tax pro at h&r block would " guarantee you the best refund possible". I have recorded this shitlery act of farceness a whopping 13 times now. That would be enough for any one of us players to be banned from the casino, banned from internet gambling in general and banished from the internet all together if we pulled the same one sided tactics. Think I am lying... just give it a thorough try and pay attention to the connection stability, lag, glitch spins or deals and distance between repeat wins after ou are up on what you deposited by a medium to large amount. Other than that , well ther is just too much to state , and that's just the beginning.... once you are known for whooping the casinos ass on the web, they start closing your accounts , saying your affiliated withpeople named Suri L. Masterbater , Bulge Gazer and Johnson Gripper . WTF is that sh#t?

CHEERS

I have been around a long time and i agree with Jenna  . I love this post . I haven't laughed like this in a long time  . Sums up play in cowboy town USA  .

There’s just too much supply in that market. And self-control is a must

Indeed
Way too many casinos are not working as they should. Only at the beginning you might have luck.
Later on it's a oneway ticket to the bottum.

Very nicely written, but that doesn't surprise me at all, Lips just got that extreme talent to let it out there, she says the things alot want to say but just can't get it to words to where everyone can understand

Thank You Lips i agree with you completely.

You know me, i rarely complain about online casino sites unless they have truely made me mad, to be honest it hasn't happened other then not being paid by a casino that was rogue to begin with, or it actually being my own fault, meaning i blew the money and lost, realizing i can't win every single time at every single casino i play at.. and yes i will and have lost alot of money, i understand all concepts when it comes to gambling

Online casinos are more popular now and unfortunately the crooks know this too, it's just pathetic and I really feel bad for them for not having a life and steel from us, our hard work earned money.

I am 100% agree on what you just write. Casino's getting bad review may have different possibilities and one of them is player is losing too much. Another is casino has bad machines or it's place looks so old and tired.

Lipstick your correct we have a string of bad luck,, but what when theres tech problems,, slot never paid a win, or internal server errors,,, and all the casinos ever do is blame your browser,,, tell you lies.. infact betfred told yor college that they had fixes my issue when trurh is a have not hered a word ... lies and more lies a have yet to find any casino take there full responsabilty,, lfor tech errors on there site nor do I understand why they are open and taking money when they are fully aware there site is in need of repair thats bad casinos, and it happens day in day out but NO ONE wonts to talk about this,,

Casino managers are getting lazier these days. This is the main problem. What to earn money but don't want to provide good service.

That's when we need members like you to talk about it. There are good and bad casinos and it is important to discuss them all openly. My point is not just because some player is ticked off for losing. 

That's true but my advice for everyone is to stick to the sites they are only familiar with, they used to play and sure they payout.

Some new sites are also paying winnings and offering a good deposit bonus, not everyone will be flagged as a bad one.

I agree but we have our own responsibility to inform us where we are playing. There's a simple rule: Only deposits at accredited and reviewed casinos with good ratings, don't deposit at new untested casinos if you can't afford losing potential winnings. Be aware of the casinos that dwell and have dwelled in the rogue pit.

Great  point. Totally agree, Lips

I agree that "bad casino" or "good casino" reviews can't be 100% objective. The real success of a review is when lots of players or losers gather in one place on the Internet. But so many casinos hire people who by their request and for money post crap about their competitors... It should be also taken into account.

You have to understand the risk! If you are not sure, then do not play!

Fully agree with this!

first of all i rate how fast casino withdraw and competence of support. winnigns or losing means nothing because you play soft, and casino have no influence on soft it just represent slots. also promotions have big value when you rate casino.

Great article.. I know I have been one of those players that has bern so mad at the casino when really it's usually not the casinos fault at all.

Agreed. I sometimes get all ticked off at the casino, then think.....I'm the one being a d#$K. lol

Before making a deposit at a casino, you have to search in the net or in the forums the reputation and reliability of this casino.  you can judge his seniority because an unreliable casino will not stay long, also other criteria such as promotional offers, customer support and payment methods.

Well there are many good casinos out there, but I guess its all about the preference.

I want a casino that has - Good Wagering, Withdrawal processed within 24 hours and Good Customer Service and Maybe loyalty.

So a casino might not be bad, but in my eyes if that casinos has pending periods of 48 - 72 hours its bad already or if the welcome package has 100 spins that split 20 over 5 days - Because simply I do not like these ridicilous terms etc. I do not care about all their other nice things.

Its bad enough that slots do not play the same anymore ( Bonanza, DHV and some others) and its difficult to win these days. Now I still need to wait for my money for 3 - 5 days?

So all of us clasify a casino as bad/good based on what we want in a casino, ofcourse no casino will ever be able to satisfy anyone.

Casinos change with time, from good to bad and vice versa. There could be various factors why they changed. New owner, altered policies etc. I've lost more than a handful of great casinos in the past couple of years due new regulations, new platform, new owners. They went from fast to slow payment. From nice to rude support, games availabilty etc. Like I mentioned before, nowadays you can't have a favorite casino because they all change with time, every day they are looking for a way to make more profit, how to win more and we as players are really more depend on luck than before. Have you seen the list of restricted games from bonuses at some casinos? Your choices are limited, it's like a labrat in a maze, there's only one way and that's theirs. This is why I rarely take any deposit bonuses from any casinos anymore, I just do not want the headache.

Yeah

Almost every game these days from Netent and Play N Go that pays big has been restricted on bonus funds.

I lately play only on videoslots without bonuses and if I win big, I know my money is in my neteller within 10 minutes. Get my weekly booster and Cashback and free rolls without wagering requirements which is a good plus as well.

Dead or Alive is restricted from bonus money at almost every online casinos, Trada is an exception and it is also the only casino that provide the classic DoA.

Casinos/games providers study the gaming behaviour of their players and that's why the games restriction, change of bets restriction ( from high to low ). You know, if you don't like your players to win, just don't offer any bonuses. There was one particular casino who did not offer any bonuses to their players, I believe it was nobonuscasino. It is a legit casino (MGA licensed) and their t&c's are 10 times shorter than other casinos. I do have respect for that one, they are still operating so I guess they're doing well.

DOA for bonus wagering works at Slotsmillion and Slothit casino.

Ill give nobonuscasino a try and see what they all about.

What is their withdrawal times frames?

If your account is verified, withdrawals will be processed within 24 hours only on weekdays monday to friday. Finance department is not avaliable on weekends.

There are so many casino's these days.

It is just crazy how much people seem to keep a lot of them in busyness.

I think there are many casino's that should be closed ages ago.

If it takes more then 2 days to widraw for accample.

But also casino's with lacky support are to be voided if you ask me.

I will not give names but i know a few that realy make me wonder how they survive.

These days i mostly trust casino's with providers as Netent, Quickspin and Play&Go.

I do not play with bonuses anymore also because they mostly have ridicules therms.

There are very few ways to check if a casino payout often and fair.

But in most cases when they try to lure you in with high bonusses, i am sceptical.

There should be much more people questioning them.

If you ask me i think a lot of casino's should be closed ages ago.

But somehow some of the wurst manage to stay online.

Well, I will not stop visiting new casino's, but i check them out first by registering without deposit first.

If a casino has a good no deposit bonus i'll try that.

Otherwise i take a few weeks to check the service a casino provides.

Chat and 24-7 support is very important also.

I love asking my questions there to find out if they are trustwurthy enough; ;-)

So true..great stories, thabks for the informative story

Agree!

More and more casinos use black schemes, or fake software.And also delay payments demanding a sea of documents.
At the moment I have 3-5 casinos that are verified and I play them.
This trend will continue.

I think there are too many casinos and too little players out there. I think the more casinos shutdown, the more players, the more the slots will receive and the better the payouts.

I know alot of casinos these days ask for a lot of extra docs for verifications etc. But I think this is due to licensing authorities like UKGC etc are issuing fines and changing regulations to enforce casinos to abide by them, especially on the focus to protect consumers and proper procedures in place to prevent money laundering. Most casinso these days also fail with their "Social Responsibility regulations".I mean I was suprised to see Casumo and Videoslots was also in the mix and fined for inadequate systems in place to protect problem gamblers and prevent money laundering. They are the my most favourite casinos I play at on a daily basis.

Selfie with ID in hand and laptop/computer screen in the background with casino open on the screen is something I will not do. Have not yet experienced SOW yet, but surely soon I might be. I can see within a year or two, e-wallets slowly disappearing as deposit options in general with some brands and not just with the welcome offers.

Fake games, Delayed payments and Ridicolous request are the casinos fault. Weird silly bonus terms and high wagering are outrageous these days. Even the best of the best casinos/brand now implement max cashout with bonuses like Casino Calzone. Bonuses are now from 100% to 50% and now casinos are offering 25% .Even rewards/loyalty schemes are going down the drain into "none existent" mode.

Times are tough and it's sad to see the less popular brands out there are still in business. While the good ones like some Every Matrix casinos are shutting doors one by one. Even Chance hill, if it has not already closed their doors already.

Yeah, I agree with you... Thank you for the helpful information. I play a lot and also have my well-tried casinos. I like to play here <link removed by mod MarijaS>, for example.

Good luck, guys

Job well done lipstick,

Good points, well paid. When people cant control themselves, they put the blame on others specially gamblers who can never have enough self-control. Palying at Casinos itself impose a great risk of losing your hard-earned money. While knowing the consequences in advance, one person in a hope to earn something good keeps on spending - if he wins, its his luck and if he loses, its a bad casino or a fraud casino.

These things dosnt make sense. Because we are responsible for our own action. In Gambling world also, one should be aware of their own actions and should be ready to face the results.

Bingonice

I myself tend to let the winning go to my head and tend to gamble alot more after a win than if Y just flat out lose I always put a good portion back looking for that rush of the big win

I agree, there is a lck of confidence on online casinos gambling so i prefer the  land based casino I have the feeling that the casino wont go to pay if i win a large amount of money i noted that the most complains are about of large amount of money cashouts. So thats why i never put much money on online casinos. 

Whenever i go to the casino i just take as much money with me as i'm willing to spend on fun. I dont expect to win and if i lose everything i brought i still had a fun night

Well Im all about sharing when things are wrong at casino's ... But people should also (and specially on the forum where we can file complaints) tell when the casino solved problems and had good explanation for their problems ...

Ofcourse its never good to experience a bad experience at an online casino ... But when they redeem theirself ... We should be that honest to also share it :)

From my experience there are a lot more bad casinos then good casinos. Out of the 20 casinos I have played at about only 2 were good. 18 of them were crap.
