Stupid Casino TricksThere are some casinos that condone stupidity, or they employ employees that do stupid things - stupid marketing campaigns, stupid sales tactics, stupid promos. All that is stupid is here:
Casino Software Provider Licensing Jurisdiction Reason
Golden Palace Casino Playtech Kahnawake Stupid Streaker
Brandy Casino Playtech Antigua Stupid Message Board Spam
Evil Software Providers
There are certain software providers that either have funky software that cheats, or they have a "hands off" approach to their licensees, allowing the casino to do whatever they please.
Casino Licensing Jurisdiction Reason
COA World Entertainment Venezuela Reported Cheating Software
Casinova Software Israel Reported Cheating Software
Gambling Federation Belize Use of Malware
Elka Systems Software - Oyster Systems Belize Reported Cheating Software
IGS - Interactive Gaming Systems Somewhere in the Third World Unresponsive to player complaints
Start-your-casino.com Who freakin' knows Crooked software
Fake Watchdog Sites
The are a number of casino operators that feel that their players need to be deceived into believing their casinos are a safe place to play. Some of them have set up "watchdog" sites that claim to be monitoring the fairness of their operation thus giving themselves a "stamp of approval". This is deception in the lowest form and borders on the criminal. Other organizations were formed in good faith, but over the years have become indifferent, apathetic, and flacid.
Sometimes casinos that display logos from the following sites are unaware of the "ruse" they are playing a part of. Obviously, they didn't do their research, or perhaps they think that the logos look pretty. Nevertheless, casinos that display logos from the following organizations should be avoided.
Organization Reason
Egaming Commission Fake
Ethical Online Gaming Association Fake
Internet Gaming Commission Flaccid

Past Issues
Being "rogued" at blackjake.net is a serious issue in the online casino community. The reason for the rogue section was mainly a "name and shame" method used to either convince casino operators to do the right thing, or to warn players of devious deeds. Over the past several years, there have been some casinos that have been removed from "Rogue" or "Not Recommended Section". In most cases it was because the business ceased to exist, but in some instances, the operators saw the light and realized that improvements needed to be made in the way they operated.
"Turning over a new leaf" is a good thing. In fact, I wish that every operator "rogued" would just listen up and realize that deception, unfairness, crappy customer service, and unethical behavior is unnecessary to do well in this business. Changing business methods or modifying one's own behaviour is a hard thing to do, but when operations do so because of this "Rogue" section, I see it as a good thing; the "Rogue Section" is successful when it allows casinos to move on.
Also, there have been misunderstandings between me and the operators (or owners) of some of these casino groups. These are detailed in some of the following links.
Regardless, I feel that it is important that players are aware of past issues. No need to sweep dust under the rug. Some operations have a "history" that players ought to know about so that they can make intelligent decisions on their own.
Casinos to Avoid
Moonlight Island Casino Blacklisted for excessive forum spamming tactics and various other blog spamming and board spamming. Their site looks terrible and you can't tell whether they are legitimate operators or not. Stay clear of this operation.
CasinoMan's Verdict: Avoid this casino completely.
Hi Roller Casino For excessive spamming and email fraud, this supposed online casino has been blacklisted for their unscrupulous bad marketing tactics.
CasinoMan's Verdict: Avoid this casino completely.
888 Casino Also known as Casino-On-Net and various other names, are all owned and operated by 888 Holdings Plc, the largest online casino company in the world. They are publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange, so you might wonder why they are being blacklisted, not only here, but lately they are being shunned and blacklisted all over the Internet.
The reasons for this are simply, they have internal teams who practice black techniques in search marketing, namely site scraping, blog spamming and prolific use of other spam techniques. They are doing this both internally, and turning a blind eye to affiliates who do this too.
For a publicly listed company to be doing this, is wholly unacceptable. It tarnishes the image of the industry, punishes good affiliates, and is simply bad practice for any company. They top this blacklist for now, until they decide to take action against these types of activities.
CasinoMan's Verdict: Don't play here until they assume the correct position in the market, as leaders, and stop poor marketing tactics.
Windows Casino This is one of the oldest Realtime Gaming casinos, however their advertising practices are somewhat crude and often break the boundaries of customer privacy.
We've had a few complaints about their honesty as well and as an operator, this makes them untrustworthy. Windows Casino also features multiple skins, all of which also operate with dodgy tactics.
Known skins: Royal Flush Casino, Golden Palms Casino
CasinoMan's Verdict: Avoid this casino group completely.
Casinobar Their software is well known throughout the industry to cheat players. In blackjack they were caught dealing seconds, and we must urge you to avoid all their casinos, including Casino-on-air.
CasinoMan's Verdict: Avoid this casino group completely.
Golden Palms Casino Avoid this at all costs, it seems to be a mirror site of Windows casino, but their unresponsive support, and non-issuing of their deposit promotions has meant that we've heard complaints about them.
CasinoMan's Verdict: Don't play, promised bonuses are not rewarded.
Play And Deal Strange business model and practices. Advertising methods seems to be somewhat misleading. Also their customer service is very poor and needs a lot of attention.
CasinoMan's Verdict: Don't play at this casino.
