There was a post in earlier in this topic by tranthidung who counted the scam accusations, applied a little math magic on it to show the overall 40-60% of the scam accusation complaints are valid when you have big enough sample. While this number is far from 100%, it definitely shows that it is not true that the most or even the majority of accusations are false or invalid. It is about 50-50.
Here it is:
As I promised yesterday.
Total accusations and cases for invalid, in-progress, inactive, active, unresolved, resolved.
Definitions for them, please get there

This part is for percent, as guessed by OP, percent for invalid cases is usually high if we count for brands with considerable sample sizes.
Percent here for resolved cases are calculated by total resolved cases / total accusations. Indeed, it would be more accurate if we do as follows: total resolved cases/ total valid cases, but I skipped it for now.
Edit: I do it as resolved_p2

I have some theories on why newbies complain the most and not the regular forum users.
I think the reason are simply the numbers. There are much less active forum user casino players than non-forum user casino players. If we assume that everyone playing in a casino has an equal chance of major problem happening to them, than it will result much more non-forum users having such a negative experience compared to active forum users. And after such an experience, since there is no way to resolve it satisfactorily, they might come, register and complain as that is the only thing they can possibly do. To get attention and also to warn others.
The other reason might be that regs probably read the forum much more thoroughly. Unlike me, for example, who only lurked around to find new casinos to play at. If a casino had a topic with at least 20 pages of posts, I checked the casino out without actually reading those posts. If I liked what I saw, I started playing there. I simply assumed that as the post count increased, so did the credibility of the casino. This is not necessarily the case.
