And in such regard, I would say that this forum serves that purpose completely, when we already have this forum, I do not see any reason to be looking for reviews outside this forum, we can simply choose to play on only casinos that have been reviewed on this forum and passed as reputable and trustworthy.
I partly agree with your position, considering that the forum is one of the most important sources for finding appropriate reviews for any of the companies in the crypto gambling industry. But I would like to point out an important point, which is that not all reviews are absolutely good because this space is public and is open for everyone to express their opinion, regardless of their backgrounds. I say this because there are many reviews that are paid, meaning that the platform can assign one or more accounts to publish positive reviews about them or ask them to publish negative reviews about competing platforms.
On this basis, it is important to advise following the opinions and evaluations of trusted members who are known for their experience in the field.
Think for a moment that you are getting a review about the gambling site from any 3rd party site where the opinion can be biased from the author of the site, or he may have written a paid review and got the money from the gambling site (we never know).
This forum is the best place to get the reviews about about the gambling sites under discussion here. I agree that anyone can write a fake review or scam accusation about the gambling site but these reviews will be few as compared to the good reviews if the site is trusted one.
For example, a ANN thread of a trusted site may contain few bad reviews but majority of the reviews will be good ones and we can judge the site is worth playing at. On the other hand, a scam site ANN thread may have fee good reviews but majority will be the complains which will give the idea about the site. This is the power of bitcointalk where we will mostly get the true picture of the gambling site.
