AskGamblers – Leading the Way in Gambling Deception!

Founded in 2005, AskGamblers stands as one of the world's most renowned casino affiliate sites. However, despite its popularity, it falls short as a superior alternative to CasinosInCanada. Questions surround AskGamblers regarding its objectivity and transparency, especially since its acquisition by the media giant Catena Media in 2016 for €15 million.

As one of the largest affiliate sites, AskGamblers represents over 1000 online casinos. However, the casino rating system on the site is questionable, as it is not always clear how the ratings are formulated and how objective they truly are. This directly leads to the promotion of unreliable casinos in a favorable light.

Legitimacy of AskGamblers

AskGamblers is neither legitimate nor reliable. Despite portraying itself as the best and fairest platform in gambling, user reviews on independent platforms tell a different story. For instance, on Trustpilot, AskGamblers has a low rating of 1.5 stars out of 6 reviews, indicating overall user dissatisfaction. Some users accuse the site of removing negative casino comments and manipulating data in favor of fraudulent advertising.

On CasinosInCanada, AskGamblers is blacklisted. Numerous complaints and negative comments from players on our forum further confirm the dishonesty and lack of fair play.

Real Reviews – What Are Players Saying?

AskGamblers' reputation is marred by reports of bias and the removal of negative casino comments. These allegations undermine trust in the site and its transparency. Additionally, AskGamblers seems more interested in promoting its partner casinos than providing unbiased information to its users.

The complaint section on AskGamblers, touted as a tool to assist players, is often used by casinos for marketing purposes, enhancing their reputation by swiftly resolving simple complaints, while more complex cases go unnoticed or remain unmoderated.

Investigation into CasinosInCanada: How AskGamblers Promotes the Dubious Casino Tsars. Evidence of Deception. 

In the course of an independent investigation, it was revealed that the first casino recommended by AskGamblers has lower return-to-player (RTP) rates in most slots and providers. More details on this examination can be found in our casino page section. This discovery directly points to the dishonesty and lack of transparency in AskGamblers' recommendations, as they promote this casino without disclosing information about decreased RTP.

In correspondence with AskGamblers support regarding questions about reduced RTP and its impact on fair play, we did not receive a satisfactory response. A support representative stated that RTP issues depend on game providers and that the casino cannot influence this indicator, which is, of course, false. It was also emphasized that the multitude of slots from different providers prevents including RTP information in casino reviews on the AskGamblers website. This explanation does not address the problem of potentially misleading players who rely on AskGamblers' recommendations when choosing a casino to play.

Such withholding of crucial information can mislead players and cast doubt on the reliability of ratings and reviews published on AskGamblers.

Unpublished Critical Reviews on AskGamblers!

We decided not to limit ourselves to communication with support and left an honest review of the casino that AskGamblers praises so highly. Despite writing a review that complied with all rules and dimensions:

We only received a notification that it would be published soon after moderator review. However, "soon" never arrived – nothing was published. In the video, you can see the process of posting, and even now, as you read this article, try to find it on AskGamblers. Unfortunately, even after months, it won't appear there, as long as the casino Tsars offers favorable terms to the site. And players are left indifferent.

Complaints about AskGamblers

• Inconsistency in Ratings and Reviews: Some users believe AskGamblers' rating system is inaccurate. For example, casinos with a low reputation on other reputable sites received higher ratings on AskGamblers, raising doubts about the site's objectivity.

• Perceived Bias in Complaint Handling: There are claims that the complaints section, labeled "complaints," is biased towards casinos. This perception is based on the experience of some users who feel that their legitimate complaints are either inadequately addressed or outright rejected by AskGamblers.

• Removal of Negative Reviews: Several users reported instances where their negative casino reviews were deleted by AskGamblers without proper explanation. This raised suspicions that the site might remove reviews portraying their partners negatively.

• Alleged Pressure to Remove Negative Reviews: There are reports that casino representatives use AskGamblers' private messaging system to offer users incentives, such as free spins, for removing their negative comments. If this practice exists, it could undermine the authenticity of reviews and user feedback on the platform.

• General Trust Issues: Some forum participants express overall dissatisfaction with AskGamblers, citing their experience with the site and its apparent inclination to promote as many casinos as possible, including those considered unreliable by other sources.

Conclusion:

After conducting a thorough analysis of AskGamblers, we have identified several serious issues indicating fraudulent activities on the platform. From the lack of transparency in the rating system to hidden partnerships with casinos, AskGamblers is playing a double game. Our investigation, including the removal of negative reviews and the endorsement of dishonest casinos, calls into question its legitimacy as a trusted source of information for players. Users should carefully scrutinize information and reviews, not blindly relying on ratings and recommendations from sites like AskGamblers.
