Yes, Google is our friend. But even so, we can't fully use Google's results because we must make sure and research the results more deeply to find more information. After all, many of the results are invalid. But I prefer this forum to get references regarding gambling sites because we already got that from a long ago. This forum can provide more than just gambling sites; we can also get ratings from members who have experience playing gambling.
As gamblers get more experience trying different casinos and looking for information regarding their reputation and other different factors, they will develop an ability to filter the false information from the true information they find on the internet, and eventually it will become way harder for them to be deceived by scammers, this is similar to the process most of us went through on the early stages on the Internet in which we could find banners which said we had won a prize and then some people made a click expecting to receive something, eventually they learned to tune those banners out as they did not fulfilled what they offered, and the same will be true for dishonest casinos.
As long as they can learn from their mistakes and are willing to seek more information, I'm sure they will eventually be able to tell or feel if the casino is a scam. This is to train their feelings to find a suitable casino for them so that it can keep them away from scams. We have learned a lot from other people's experiences, so we must also remain vigilant in visiting casino sites that we get from outside this forum. But even so, we must be careful if a new casino is launched on this forum.
I can't say much about searching in Google, I have fallen into those errors, but I try to look for sources that are reliable, but a long time ago they almost robbed me, I think they call it phisihing, because without realizing it, I I entered a casino that was supposedly legal but it was not like that, I went to a notice that had everything the same as the site and I registered with everything, with KYC I only left my phone number, but I realized it was later when I saw the announcement of the deposit, because I did not see anything else but that, and it seemed strange to me because the notice to deposit was very eloquent, then I left because I was disappointed, then it was that I realized that I entered an address for notices.
