Hello, I was wondering what red flags should I look out for to avoid scams when playing online?


It would be great if someone could share links or other information.

Hello there. I really like to see when players like you are trying to collect information to avoid any complications and to play at more safer and trustworthy casinos. 👍

While choosing the best casino for you, you should firstly be sure whether the casino meets the most important parameters, like accepting players from the country you live in and the reputation of the casino for fair gaming and paying out winnings. Secondly, you can choose a casino according to the availability of customer support in your language, attractiveness of the casino's website design or according to their selection of games.

We try to list casinos that have most of these characteristics on our list of online casinos. Feel free to use our list of casinos with advanced filtering functionality to find the best online casino for you.

On our site you will find many very useful guides, you can have read on, to get as many information about the online world. You could start with these links, for example:

  1. How to choose an online casino
  2. How to gamble safely
  3. How do we review casinos

Also another part of the whole "red flags" meaning, when it comes to online casinos, you will surely see from the user reviews at each casino, as well as complaints, which you can find in our reviews for every casino. And let's not forget our forum, as well, where you can read lot of threads about all the relevant topics.

Please let us know, if you have any other concerns, we will be glad to help.

Hi!

I am not an expert, but just from my gaming experience:

1) check the casino license

2) check rating of the casino on such sites as CasinoGuru, Trustpilot (if the casino has 3+ it is ok for this site), LCB org

3) check how support works and communicate with you, you can do it even before registration

4) check the rules attentively, especially their rules about duplicate accounts, vpn, bonuses


Hope it was a little bit useful. I'm Aussie, that's why i'm not sure that casinos I play will be ok for players from your country. Wish you luck!

hi to know if that casino is honest or scam, do a withdrawal after a win, if they ask you for lots of verification which is not necessary , 99% they are not going to payout winnings. winning are payout to the account you do deposit with so there is no need for verification, even so if need it only takes less then 30mins or max 24hours like you walk into a bank and open an account, so if these online bookmaker want to scam you,, their verification takes years and email back and return goes by 100 mails or excuse to scam you, so do watch out.

Yes, I think these are quite important things. Do you also have some points to add, or did the player to whom you reacted summarize the essential things in this regard in your opinion ? 🤔😊

Not a lifetime fan, I reckon. What seems to be wrong with this game provider, if you don't mind me asking?

An honest experience is always welcome. I presume this is again about Gonzo's Quest, isn't it? 🤔

Netent has gone the same way as pragmatic in my experience lately = right down the pan!! Just last night I got 100 free spins on Christmas big bass bonanza, it was terrible x2 scatters more than 10x no bonus that's over 300 spins on big bass slots Ice had free since the start of the year and not one 3 scatter bonus. Last time I played Gonzos quest 15 free spins 13 dead payed €2.83 x.40.

Bonus spins not free spins sorry. It was a while ago I gave up on that one. I got the discs down I think what ever it was 13/15 spins were dead and took ages to get. Don't play Netent don't play pragmatic unless they are free spins awarded by the casinos I use like Christmas big bass bonanza I got last night.

That doesn't sound the best to be honest. Obviously I wouldn't try this provider very often if I had such experience. 

But does it happen to you on several games from this provider or do you mostly try these ones you wrote ?

Are you still trying it on some games from this provider ? I probably wouldn't focus on it anymore if it goes down and would rather play with some other one. 😕

No I've tried starburst, gonzos even Finn and the swirly spin went own hull couldn't get a win there either. As for pragmatic Gates and Gates 1000 rubbish threw a few quid a them but nothing although I did have one win on Gates but downhill after that. I'm playing Lady wolf moon megaways bgaming at the moment had a few nice wins, if that turns to rubbish that's it I 'll pack it in!! I have tried loads of different slots 90% I can't even see the point of no chance of winning anything and boring graphics and terrible game play

Thanks for your descriptive experience. So I see that you managed to find a game where you are doing well and you like it. Then I see no reason to go back to the providers where you lost more. 

I hope you will have as many winning sessions as possible and of course it's best to play smart. 

Good luck. 🤞😊

Sure, I thought you were already experienced and would know how to do it. It's always best to play in a way that doesn't hurt the player to lose some money. 

I hope it all goes as you imagine. 🙂
