How are online casinos deceive players?
Today, an online casino is not only a profitable business, but it is also more possible to deceive a player, even sometimes in legal ways. There is such a situation that casino owners, providers (manufacturers of slot machines) and casino licensing authorities take advantage of the gullibility of players or their addiction and come up with more and more creative ways to prevent a person from winning or not paying out the winnings.

Introduction
Possible ways to deceive a player can be divided into two categories, namely:
Primitive methods - simply not paying the winnings, delaying payments, or simply blocking the account with the winnings without paying it out. There are especially many complaints of this kind with online casinos that have a Curacao license, or with crypto casinos that operate without a license at all.
Legitimate ways - one of the "legitimate" ways is to reduce the RTP of games (RTP is the percentage of money returned to the player). For example, a person thinks that the RTP of games is normal (the normal RTP is from 96%), but in fact it is 70%, which means that a person is playing, but he does not have the opportunity to win even theoretically. A decrease in RTP is found at casinos with a license in Malta and Curacao, in almost all online casinos.

How to avoid being scammed by online casinos?
Avoiding fraud thanks to our site will not be difficult and you no longer have to worry about losing a possible win.
To make players feel safe, we have created the Trusted Casinos service. This is a unique service, we didn’t just give a list of casinos and called it “Reliable”, the CasinosInCanada.com website provides additional support and is responsible for the casino in this section, meaning that if you were registered using our link and the casino does not pay you winnings , we pay out winnings for the casino.
If you are not satisfied with the casinos from the trusted casinos section, we recommend that you visit the Player Accept casinos section, this is a list of casinos selected by players with the most positive reviews from our users and with no unresolved problems between players and the casino. Perhaps the problems once arose, but they were resolved in favor of the player. Deception of players by the casino from this section is unlikely.
If you want to find where to play on your own or you already play in some casino, we recommend using our Casino Reviews service. This is a unique rating of online casinos with real ratings of players and reviews, and there are more than 700 casinos in the rating, these are almost all online platforms that provide the opportunity to play for money.
Using the service is simple, choose a casino, or if you play in some casino and want to check it, then find this casino through the search, then what we need to look at, the first is the status of the casino, play safely is the status of Trusted Casinos, Player Accept status, play it's not safe, it's No Status, Doubtful, you don't need to play, the casino is a scammer, it's Blacklisted status.
Then read the reviews, see the number of complaints and check the RTP of the casino. If necessary, you can write a review or leave a complaint, feedback and complaints are not moderated or deleted, everything will be published instantly. If you have to write a complaint, we will try to help you solve the problem.

Other ways to avoid casino scams.
On other sites you will find hackneyed advice, such as choose a casino with a license or between the choice of Curacao and the Maltese license, choose the Maltese one and everything will be fine, there is some truth in this, the Maltese license is considered more reliable. But regardless of the license, if the casino does not work honestly, it will deceive you or try to deceive you.
Therefore, the most effective way to avoid cheating is to find a casino with a good reputation and good reviews, and here we come to the main thing, in almost all thematic sites with casino ratings and reviews, reviews and ratings are published after moderation, and if the review is bad, most likely it is not will be posted.
There is no moderation on our site and we do not delete reviews, we recommend that you read reviews and watch ratings on our website and on trustpilot.com. TrustPilot also has moderation, but they don't moderate reviews because they don't let the bad ones in, they check the reviews to make sure it's real.
Delayed payout
The most common way of cheating is the maximum delay in the payment of winnings to the client for any reason.
For example, you won relatively large amount and requested a withdrawal and received a message that within 12 hours the payment will be made. The next day you discover that there is no money in the account, you contact the support service, the support service is aware of the policy of your company and instead of just saying what the matter is, it tells you that it will find out what the matter is and will inform you within 12 hours.
After 12 hours, you again contact the support service and they tell you that you need to verify your account, here is a list of documents that need to be sent ... Of course you ask, but you couldn’t give a list of documents right away? No, you can't, because support takes time. You send documents and then there is a long verification process, finally, when your documents have been checked, there is no payment of winnings. You again contact the support service and they ask you for some piece of paper from the bank, which you can get at the bank, that is, you personally need to go to bank, and then they will ask for something else, and so on for several laps..
What's the point, I will never play there
If your winnings are quickly withdrawn, there is no guarantee that next time you will play at this casino and in general that you will return to them. And so, easy calculation that you get tired of waiting and lose your winnings before withdrawing money.
Casinos that delay payments have a status in our rating "Backlisted" casinos.
Blocking an account for a false reason.
If a player wins big, dishonest casinos can come up with a reason to block the account and not pay the winnings.
Suppose you are from a country with which they do not work, the fact that they gave you to register and indicate your country will not bother them. An important advice to all players, before registering, check whether they work with the country where you are currently located.
Block for supposedly "Multicount". In almost all casinos it is forbidden to have more than one account. They may say that you have already been registered before and block the account along with the winnings.
There can be any reason for blocking an account, the fact is that if a casino decides to block your account, they can find any reason, which is why it is so important to choose a reliable casino.
Decreased RTP in casino games.
Online casinos with most licenses can regulate RTP, which means that the percentage of return to the player can be anything, for example, not 96%, but 70%. Often an online casino underestimates the RTP, and in the case when a player writes to support and asks what RTP from a particular provider, they answer that it is the maximum possible.
The lower the RTP, the lower the chance to win, therefore, on our website, casinos that lower the RTP are blacklisted.

Changes in casino rules.
If a player wins big, then the casino rules are changed especially for him, for example, that players from some country are not accepted, in this case the casino has many points in the casino rules that they can correct.
Cheating with bonuses.
We do not recommend using deposit bonuses at all, it is simply not profitable for the player, it makes sense only in cashback (the main thing is that cashback conditions are normal).
If a person takes some kind of bonus when making a deposit at a casino, then it is much easier to find a reason not to pay for an unfair casino, let's look at an example, you registered at the casino, made a $100 deposit and received a $100 bonus, you read the bonus rules, From the conditions there was a maximum bet of $5 and a list of slots where you cannot play when receiving a bonus (this is normal practice), but your favorite slots were not there. And you are very lucky in some favorite slot and they add to the bonus rules that you cannot play in your favorite slot when you take the bonus and confiscate the winnings.
In our rating, if we find out that casinos are manipulating the rules of promotions and bonuses, we add them to the black list.
Outcome:
Before you start playing at an online casino, be sure to read the reviews, look at the ratings in our Casino Reviews service, either on Trustpilot or on other sites where there is no moderation for reviews and ratings.
No matter what license an online casino has, if the goal is to cheat to win, the casino can find a reason not to pay, the casino may not have a license if we are talking about Crypto Casino, but it can work honestly.
The main thing when choosing a casino is its reputation, service and speed of payments.
If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, I will try to answer as detailed as possible.
WaifuKnifu Damn, if they really pay 10% without hidden fees, this is a cool topic for developers!
FroggiAshhh If Saka goes off today, no amount of ball-passing will save PSG. It's all or nothing!
Interesting article! I study the psychology of gambling and it seems to me that many casinos use psychological tricks to lure players. Be mindful of your emotions and don't let yourself be deceived
Hmm .. a lot of ways, a lot of cheating schemes. It's scary to even play somewhere. There are really no guarantees that you will not be thrown.
Great article! I would like to add that if you run into problems at an online casino, you can always seek legal help. I helped clients recover money from fraudulent sites. Know your rights!
I love old slot machines and online casinos are new to me. Thanks for the article, now I know how not to fall into a rake. Does anyone know of an online casino with classic games from the 80s?
It's better to write an article, as in the history of mankind, the casino did not deceive at least once. I don't think this has happened yet.
