Sometimes you also need to see who are those people gives their feedbacks because sometimes there are casino thread creator pays a thread bumper just to show to the forum users that they have relevance and their casino is good according to their paid reviews. But threads here is really a good reference its just we need to scan those reviews if that one came from legitimate people who test their casino and not those fake nor spamming users.
I personally wouldn't worry about such cases. bitcointalk is not kind of site where an unfair review of a gambling site can go unnoticed and just hang there forever. Write such a review and a massive backlash is unavoidable. Overall, it will do no good to a site that wanted to misrepresent itself.
Agreed!
Bitcointalk is not that kind of a forum. If someone is caught doping such things then apart from the backlash they might also get banned or might get an instant negative trust for scamming. There have been instances in the past so there are a lot of mechanism in place here. I would always believe on the feedback left on the respective threads by forum user.
The trust system and the merit system on this forum allows to see right away who's the person that left this or that feedback. And the system itself is not complicated at all: green is good, red is bad, yellow - be careful, and if you are still not sure, you can go to the users profile and read what trusted members of the forum are saying about him/her.
Reading feedback on online sportsbooks on other sites can be confusing. But not here.
I agree with you on many points regarding the ease of identifying trusted sites through the forum. But I would like to point out few points:
First, the trust system on the forum can be manipulated and we have seen many successful attempts to get untrusted members into the DT list just to get a positive rating from them about an unknown casino, especially scam sites.
Second, the member evaluation may be correct at a certain time, but it is not valid for every time. The evaluation owner may leave the forum or not return to the forum to review his feedbacks upon updates.
Third, there are other reliable websites that give good ratings and regularly update their data. You can ask about them here in the forum and use them as well.
Overall, the forum remains one of the best ways to get to the best gambling sites .
