Thank you for the information ThePharmacist, I knew almost nothing about the project though the name might have been mentioned once or twice somewhere.
I had a brief look at the ANN thread and it is something worth examining in detail but this part did make me laugh: "The brainchild of a group of reputable Bitcointalk members. Casino Critique is comprised of a handful of Bitcointalk old-timers. Our ultimate goal is to be one of the leaders in Casino Guide in the year 2027."
So the team leader and probable brains behind the project is Little Mouse?
And reputable naim027 is banned right? I guess better to use that name when seeking funds rather than his alt-account called Dic3L0v3r because that would be a real put-off for investors
On a serious note, I think it is clear having someone as reputable and trustworthy as Hhampuz (who is part of a very small group I trust) as an escrow-only gives the group the opportunity to use his name and reputation as a way to entice investors either by design or by default.
Do you not feel maybe by having your name attached to this project (even as an unpaid contributor) you are risking your reputation? I mean if they have a well respected forum member such as yourself saying you are helping out on their website it could in the eyes of investors and newbies be taken as you giving the project a seal of approval-to-invest and I am sure that is not your intention.
