How do you guys spot scam betting sites ? Which are the red flags with those kind of sites and do you believe the rating/review sites or they are mainly paid like the ICO review sites ?
There are reviews online as some may have been a victim before and be helpful enough to share their experience which is the only way I hope would be pretty easy to be able to know if a gambling site is a scam or not. Also, you may want to just stick with what others are using and those with far better reputation than trying to gamble a site that is unknown and not well used which I feel you will be better off.
Most of the reviews online are the reason why people keep falling victim to same scams on the same websites all over again. Those reviews are faked and sponsored by the scummy gambling sites. I have often seen the good websites are always underappreciated and scam sites like betcoin/vegascasino/bitcasino are highlighted as the best. Bitcointalk is the only place to seek for legit reviews.If that doesn't convince you, you can always start a new thread asking for suggestions.
I think it would be of no use if you would start checking about their existence because if they really would be a scam, they wouldnt show you the reality and first of all, you wouldnt get an history and if you are lucky enough to find some, they would have undoubtedly designed it in the way the wanted it to be they wont reveal the secret.
