When I gave up was one one review site rated 1xbit so high. It was then I became convinced about the biaseness and shady deals that are done behind the scene to deceive us.
Review sites are being used as a marketing tool by casino owners, as we know, newbies always use review websites before using that. And when they sees good ratings then people agrees to use the website, this is the reason why scam like 1xbit are still in the market. Because they keep their good rating on the review website and newbies visit their website to gamble, and then fall into scam.
I personally do not trust any review website and always look at forum profile to make sure they have no negative feedbacks
Not only that but review sites (or at least most review sites that I know of) are basically scams which offer to give glowing reviews in exchange of money to some online gambling casino they have never even heard of, researched or tried out. This includes scam casinos that aren't actually casinos. Although they are a bit more careful about that due to the fact that in some cases they can be held legally accountable.
Still, either way, review sites are the worst. I would not trust them either. Some people are gullible and believe everything they read there, though. What a sad way to lose money.
Best thing you could do is do your own research.
Precisely. With research, you will know that these turned to be good casinos are certainly those scam casinos that you need to avoid in the first place. Review sites are already controlled by them, as they always leave good impressions made by some paid users, otherwise they would not gain any customers at all. Although I’m not saying that review sites are not longer reliable, but in most cases they are almost made to lure new players.
I would go as far as to say that review sites are not any longer reliable and never have been. If you really think about it, review sites are just businesses. And the way they mostly make money is not by advertisement or selling merchandise of any kind, but they sell services. Which is what they like to call it. But honestly its just the review site selling good reviews, regardless of whether the reviewed website or online gambling casino in question is any good or not. Most of the time they do not even do their research but just copy paste whatever text they are given by the customer.
I understand where you are coming from. It's really hard to believe what we read online nowadays because everything could be false and totally fake just to gain a follower, profits, and engagement. It's a natural response for us to doubt if we see something good most especially if it's too good to be true because almost everything comes with a price now. These review sites are good platform to look at for newbies, however, these days, review sites become infiltrated with paid and biased reviews for promotion. Hence, it's causing confusion to the readers.
What's best to do still is of course, do our very own research and ask personally if possible fellow gamblers with their opinions, suggestions, and first-hand experience about a certain casino or gambling site. That way, we can verify that the information we got is legitimate and not just made up because it is paid.
