Avoid Scam Casinos
Winning at casino games is difficult enough without the added insult of a scam casino running off with your hard earned cash. So how do you avoid a scam casino?
I’ve put together a few tips and some common sense guidance so you can protect yourself from these rip off merchants! Here are my tips to avoiding being stung by a dodgy online casino.
The first thing you need to do is make sure the online casino you’re thinking about joining is licensed, look for this information on the casinos website, most reputable casinos are licensed in recognized Territories or Countries. Legally you cannot register an online casino in the United Kingdom, so many online casinos that cater to players from the United Kingdom register in UK protectorate territories like Gibraltar, a few big casino names register there include: Ladbrokes Casino, 32 Red Casino and William Hill Casino. Other popular casino licenses are also granted from Malta, Alderney and the Isle Of Man.
Look for the Online Casinos License and Audit Payout Figures
You can normally find all the legal information on a casino at the bottom of it’s homepage, as you can see in the example above, if you can’t find this information be wary. Also check to see that a casino has 24/7 customer support, and call them up to verify the number. You can also email the customer support desk, if they’re slow responding to simply requests for information, then don’t expect great service if something actually goes wrong.
Make sure you look at a casinos ‘payout percentages’ this tells you the percentage of money the casino pays out to customers. A fair casino would typically have a payout rate around 95% ~ 97%. This DOES NOT mean that if you deposited and played £100 with an online casino that you’d only lose £5 of that £100. You could well lose it all without winning anything back! Payout rates should be audited by a recognized accounting/auditing firm like PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Do read the Terms and Conditions of the online casino, especially the terms on bonuses, which can be confusing. Some casinos will not allow you to withdraw bonuses or money won when using bonus cash. You may have to play a minimum number of high risk games to release winnings or bonus cash. Bonuses cause the greatness number of complaints against online casinos in my experience. So check them out in full before you deposit any money!
Finally don’t start gambling large sums of money at a casino until you are happy with the site, try small amounts, cash out winnings and see how fast you get paid. Once you’re happy then maybe think about raising the stakes.

primescratchcards is a huge scam, i won $1.500 and that is worth allot for me.. well… I NEVER GOT THE MONEY!! and no response from their CS.
Is Primescratchcards a scam. I believe they are based in Malta!!
Absolutely not! Malta is a reputable licensing authority, nearly all trustworthy casinos and bookmakers are licensed in Malta, Gibraltar, Alderney or the Isle Of Man. There are legal and tax reasons why online casinos choose these countries rather than being registered in the United Kingdom, William Hill, Ladbrokes and many well known UK gambling brands are run from these countries.
It might be legal but their customer service is crap, my card was misused and still waiting for them to contact me, i think that they are doing this with intention
