Blacklisted Online Casinos

This is a critical "no" factor that we analyze first. Our testers run slots, table games, and video poker through specialized algorithms and are familiar with all the statistical data. The results may show slight deviations within a margin of error but nothing beyond that. If we identify that the software does not meet the benchmark standard, we label the casino as unsafe.

No license – no guarantee. It’s as simple as that! We always check whether a brand has a license, who the regulating body is, and how reputable it is. Some casinos have fake or expired licenses, a major red flag. Hiding or lacking a license altogether is also grounds for blacklisting a casino. As a rule, we don’t go easy on brands that choose the path of deception!

Many casinos resemble animals covered in thousands of fleas regarding unresolved complaints. We identify such issues by analyzing dozens of review aggregators and social media platforms. If a casino ignores complaints and makes no effort to resolve gamblers’ problems, such a brand deserves to be forgotten.

Here’s another key point that cannot be overlooked. Unresponsive customer support can lead to many negative consequences, which are intolerable. That’s why we thoroughly examine support agents' behavior, responses, and overall attitude toward customers. We always share the results with a broad audience, ensuring the truth comes to light.

What security measures does the casino implement? Do they even exist, and what guarantees do gamblers receive? All these questions are extremely important because your money and personal data are at stake. We analyze each casino's technical aspects, built-in tools, and available options. If security issues are not addressed, we immediately highlight this in our reviews. Remember, licensing offers no real advantage if the site's security system is as porous as a sieve.

Here’s another “swamp” where many newcomers can get stuck. The fact is that many casinos are guilty of manipulating their terms and conditions. Sometimes, these terms are so twisted that they give brands room for extreme manipulation. To address this, we’ve assembled a team of lawyers and gamblers who interpret terms and conditions. If a casino imposes blatantly unfair or deceptive terms, you’ll find out about it in our updated blacklist.

How can you tell if you’ve registered with a scam casino? Ask to withdraw your money! This strategy has never let us down. We test both the casino’s willingness to process a withdrawal immediately and the following 5–10 transactions. This approach helps us identify various fraudulent schemes. We also analyze the "delays" brands use to postpone or make the withdrawal process impossible.

Here’s another nuance that might not be obvious to newcomers. Why does a casino offer dozens of deposit methods but only allow withdrawals through one obscure option? This should be a red flag, signaling it’s time to look for alternatives. Generally, honest casinos have no reason to limit withdrawal options. Moreover, in the long run, they always profit. So why create additional barriers for newcomers?
