A lot of them seem to be hastily assembled clone sites with very little effort put in and gimmicky marketing. Do you guys have any thoughts on this... plague?
Well, the new gambling sites tend to copy the old and trusted gambling sites and therefore they even try to copy the user interface too. The positive reason can be that they know that people are comfortable playing using such an interface so why not keep their site with a similar user interface? However making a complete copy to copy site, will never give a good impression as people will think that it may be a fake or scam site.
Other than this, the scammers also get the same themes and apply them on their sites so that they do not have to develop new designs as their main purpose is to bring people on the site and scam them. Also, people who want to develop a phishing site would also develop the same copy of the website.
Trying to save up cost? Well thats definitely the case and having that few changes or tweaks wont really be costing up that much rather than on making a new whole design concept.
As a business owner or investor then of course you would really be finding those methods and ways that you could be able to save up some expenses and this is one of the reasons too.
The main things that i do check out whenever i do see a new platform is that i do really always check out on what are the offers that it has rather than on making myself that
testing out the waters on something which it do offers the same on the site that im currently dealing with.
