What is clear, this forum provides so many trusted gambling sites and not just sportsbooks that we can use to play gambling. These gambling sites start from the bottom to gain the trust of all the members in this forum so that gradually, they can be at the top of the position of the gambling site. If a review site reviews a gambling site but there is no ANN in this forum, I think we have to be careful because it is not necessarily a site we can trust. But if a gambling site has ANN in the forum and is still trying to manage and maintain the site properly, that means their site can be trusted, especially if they already have a good reputation on this forum.
It is good for us, forum users, but someone new, who wants to begin gamble, just google review site and get a huge quantity of them. But we can`t help them, i just believe that cryptocurrency users have to read this forum and can find ANN threads here.
I think mostly they post dubious sites for referral links. I do not think that such reviewers are often paid for "job". We can see paid reviews on major review sites, but their review mostly shows small problems to increase the credibility of the reviewer and the casino. It's better to look here for what the players are saying.
The most if the review sites we have now including autopilot are making money from reviewing crypto gambling sites. Initially they might not be paid but later the gambling platform would allocate fund to them to boost their site review so they can have more new gamblers joining their platforms. This method are not bad but also those reviewing sites need money to maintain the services they offers to the public.
We have so much review sites that no one gambling platform will pay to all of them. I still think that only big sites are paid. May be the review changes when is paid but it can be only when the site grows up. And i think that the first purpose is to get referrals, is casino pays - it can be just a bonus.
