Blacklisted Online Casinos
Blacklist Rules
My blacklist is a place for the most unethical of Internet casinos. Reasons for inclusion on the blacklist include:
- Game results are not consistent with a random game.I expect all casinos to offer a fair game as evidenced by the fact that the cards or dice observed fall in line with statistical norms.
- Non-payment of legitimate gambling winnings.Granted the word “legitimate” is rather vague. I would prefer to say “any” gambling winnings, but many online casinos have a policy to not honor winnings in the case of extremely aggressive bonus abuse. While I strongly feel that casinos should honor their own rules, I want this list to consist of casinos that are significantly worse than the industry norm. Seizing deposits, or prior gambling winnings to the current withdrawal, are not acceptable, and justify blacklisting. More information about legitimate casinos.
- Non-payment of affiliate royalties.Internet casinos typically pay advertisers according to how many players they deliver or how much those players lose. It is not unusual for untrustworthy casinos to short-pay their affiliates, either by changing the commission formula retroactively in their own favor, or simply to stop paying without explanation. Either way, a casino that can not be trusted to pay their advertising debts also cannot be trusted to pay winning players, in my opinion.
- Stealing web site content (typically mine).
With the introductions out of the way, here is the Blacklist, starting with the most recently added:
Interested Casinos
Wixiplay.io
Wixiplay.io is added to the blacklist by the Wizard himself for cheating and ignoring withdrawals. “How can they cheat with ‘provably fair’ games?” you might ask. For the answer to that question and the full story of this blacklisting, please visit Wixiplay.io Blacklisting.
Ace Revenue
Interesting fact: Uranus is the seventh planet in the solar system. Well, Planet 7 Casino certainly puts the word “anus” to correct use with their tactics. The casino has a terrible reputation for their payout speeds and management, having left several players in the lurch after trying to claim their legitimate winnings. Because of this, we have made the decision to warn players to avoid playing at this site, as it’s likely that you’re going to see your winnings either severely delayed or outright denied.

- Silver Oak
- Slot Madness
- Royal Ace
- Slots Garden
BetVictor
BetVictor has a long history of being a retail and online operator throughout the United Kingdom, having come up as a reputable group known as Victor Chandler. Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worse recently, as the group has put out a predatory set of terms for affiliates. This led to our company having affiliate commissions stolen, due to hidden termination clauses that weren’t there when we signed the agreement.
This has led to us blacklisting BetVictor. If they’re willing to steal from us, what’s to ensure that they’re not going to steal from players due to a hidden clause that they add after the fact? We highly recommend you avoid playing at this predatory site at all costs. You may not get ripped off right away, but the odds are good that you may be at some point in the future.
Staybet
Staybet Casino is a newer online betting site, but that doesn’t make it less terrible. The site has racked up a slew of player complaints related to non-payment of winnings, slow customer support response, and changing of terms and conditions when it favors the casino. Making matters worse is that the management of the casino has been unresponsive to our team when issues arise. This has led us to the conclusion that Staybet Casino and any future betting sites put out by the Stay Gaming Group should be avoided, at least until the company gets its act together and works in the best interest of its players.
Club World Group
The Club World group (also known as Affiliate Edge) used to put out high-quality casinos that serviced the American market. Unfortunately, things changed in 2016 when the company’s ownership ousted the management that oversaw the successful operation. Things then got worse when the company sought out assistance in running the casinos through the AffPower affiliate group, a known bunch of scammers that have run other brands into the ground.
Since that time, all Club World casinos have dropped in quality, making it hard to withdraw funds, seeing huge delays in payments, and stiffing affiliate sites (like ours) out of hard-earned payments. Because of this, we have taken the step of blacklisting all Club World casinos and urge players to look elsewhere.
Casino Girl
Casino Girl is the type of site you want to avoid. The casino has had years of complaints regarding payouts and support, and things have gotten even worse recently. We’ve discovered the casino is using pirated games, which are: unethical, illegal, and potentially rigged. We recommend you avoid playing at Casino Girl, as there’s a good chance this girl will take you for everything you have.
Burnbet
In June our sister site LCB caught Burnbet using pirated games, which are stolen from Novomatic, Aristocrat, and EGT. This is awful, and making matters even worse is the fact that the casino made it clear that they aren’t concerned about these games, and instead of immediately pulling the games, indicated that they’ll change platforms down the line. Because of this, we highly recommend you avoid playing at this bad online casino.
Raging Bull, Grand Fortune, and Malibu Club
Raging Bull, Grand Fortune, and Malibu Club have been acquired by The Virtual Casino Group which is already blacklisted by our site, which is a real shame as Raging Bull, Grand Fortune, and Malibu Club were all considered to be excellent casinos. The sites have been blacklisted due to recently verified payout issues. Players who’ve won money are seeing payout requests delayed or denied. This is unacceptable and has earned all three sites a spot on our blacklist page.
Boombet
Boombet Casino is a site that looks like it’s pretty decent on the surface, but looking further into the group’s dealings, we’ve found that the site is predatory. There are multiple baked in terms that limit the amount players can withdraw, high fees for withdrawal, and more. Making matters worse is the fact that the casino has delayed payout of legitimate winnings. We’ve blacklisted this site and urge players to avoid playing here.
Casino 1
Casino1 is a newer online betting site, but it has already proven itself as being a horrible casino. The site has been found to be offering pirated Net Ent games, which is both unethical and dangerous for players. Using rigged software is one of the fastest ways to work your way onto the blacklist, and we urge everybody to avoid playing at Casino1.
BitBingo
BitBingo is an online betting site that specializes in bingo but also has a full casino attached to it. Last month a player complained that the site was not paying out on a cashback bonus, and since that time it appears that the site has gone dark. Any messages sent to the casino, its representatives, and the support team have not been deliverable, leading us to believe this portion of the casino is down. This is unacceptable, as the site has not given any heads up to outside sources, leading us to put them on our blacklist.
Lake Palace Casino
Lake Palace is a casino that originally started out pretty decent, but has devolved into a cesspool of slow payouts, poor customer service, and predatory terms. Interestingly, many of these problems appeared after the group moved from Microgaming software to Saucify (rebranded from BetonSoft in 2014), which is substantially cheaper to license. We believe the group may be having financial difficulties, and because of this we have blacklisted this site and urge you to look elsewhere for places to play.
Le Bon Casino
Le Bon Casino is tied in with several other bad sites like Silver Oak, Royal Ace, and Planet 7, and has had a long history of poor support and extremely slow payments, which can take in excess of a month to be processed. As a result, we have blacklisted Le Bon Casino, and can’t tell you enough to avoid this predatory site.
Casino Grand Bay
Casino Grand Bay comes onto the blacklist with a reputation for not paying players the money that they rightfully won from the site. This was not always the case though, as the site at one point offered Microgaming software and had a solid history of treating players well. This changed once Microgaming shut down their US operations, as the casino was forced to adapt to inferior software. For some reason, this began a downward spiral for Casino Grand Bay, as they began stiffing players and providing bad customer support.
Gibson Casino
If you want to play at a bad online casino, look no further than Gibson Casino. The casino has a huge number of complaints against it, as countless players report that the casino fails to pay out legitimate winnings to players. Furthermore, the casino has been flagged by browsers like Google Chrome and Opera as being a potential phishing site, which means your personal and financial data is at risk whenever you go to their page. Our site, as well as almost every other reputable online casino review site, has blacklisted Gibson Casino, and we highly urge all players to avoid this site.
