We take our responsibility to expose rogue online casinos seriously.
It is our mission to make sure that our visitors do not mistakenly sign up and play at an online casino, sportsbook or any other online gambling site that is not ethical.
There are thousands of competing online casinos, sportsbook, poker rooms, bingo sites and other gambling sites and unfortunately many of them are not reputable and either use devious tactics to effectively steal from players. May of them also use a variety of tricks to effectively reduce a player’s chance of winning to zero.
This section of our site is dedicated to warning players about these casinos. We update our blacklist continually as and when we become aware of negative reports and investigate these further.
It’s quite simple, do not play at an online casino on this list.
Why Online Casino Blacklist?
There are a variety of reasons we might blacklist an online casino, discussed in more detail below. We actively participate in industry forums and online communities where rogue casinos are quickly exposed. We will often learn about an online casino engaged in bad business practices fairly early on and hopefully before they are able to do too much damage.
The online casinos and other gambling sites that you will find on our blacklist fall into one of three categories:
Rogue – Do not even visit their website. If you do, you’ve already been scammed.
Proceed with caution – Not enough reason to be classified as rogue but in our opinion players should proceed with caution and exercise their own discretion. We recommend you find an alternative.
Under investigation – We might remove this site from our list or it might be moved into rogue status depending on the outcome of our investigation.
Reasons to Blacklist Online Gambling Sites
An online casino or gambling site could end up on our blacklist for any number of reasons but the most common one is delayed winnings. These online casinos will use every excuse in the book to delay payment such as questioning the validity of personal information and documentation. There are instances where delayed payment may be justified but once this becomes a regular trend, the casinos is likely to be blacklisted by most portals like ourselves.
Non-payment is an ev3n more serious issue and an online casinos will be blacklisted rapidly if there is evidence of not paying out winnings.
A slightly more subjective reason to blacklist an online casino is poor support. Good online casino support is such a critical part of this industry but unfortunately it is often neglected to the detriment of players. We believe it to be more than ample reason to blacklist an online casinos if there are are the subject of frequent bad reports.
Customer support goes further than just answering the phone and emails. it requires reasonable turnaround times, trained staff who are knowledgeable, quick payout processing, and more.
The next reason is related to transparency of information. More often than not, payout issues occur because of the fine print or terms and conditions related to online casino bonuses. If the terms are not clearly stipulated, easily accessible fair, the site should be avoided.
Other response might include the presence of malware such ads contextual advertising programs, failure to deliver on advertised promotions, and licensing in unrecognised jurisdictions (or no license at all).
