Blacklisted Casinos

There are well over a thousand casinos online. Most conduct their business ethically. Some end up with a bad reputation over just a few misunderstandings. Others are plain fraudulent. The best way to avoid fraudulent casinos is to stick with the ones we list throughout the Games and Casino website. Those online casino, online poker, and online bingo sites are carefully chosen by reputation and reports from other players. It is a lot easier to pick out the good ones than to prove the bad ones are crooked. So do yourself a favor and choose from the many honest and reputable gambling places listed by Games and Casino. You can find compilations on the Casino Bonus, Poker Bonus, and Bingo Bonus pages.

The following is a list of casinos that have been declared blacklisted or rogued by other online casino sites as well. Unfortunately, there is no concrete place where all the information that got these casinos blacklisted can be found. We present these for your convenience, so you do not have to surf all over the web to pull this information together. Be aware that all of this is hear-say and simply collected off the internet and not an official, court-compiled list. The evaluations are based on complaints by vocal players from various websites. Some are based on research into licensing and related legal issues.

The following list is extensive and you may want to choose the find on this page option, under your browsers Edit menu as a faster way to locate a specific casino.

Affiliate Club is not blacklisted anymore!

Gamesandcasino.com removes rogue status from online casino Casino Club and associated properties as well as its marketing arm Affiliate Club.

Affiliate Club, the marketing arm, had introduced a term to their contract that gave Affiliate Club the right to stop all payments of monies earned should the affiliate cease to promote the property.

This new term would have crippled the ability of affiliates to respond to player complaints, since they would have lost everything they had earned.

However, affiliate Club has now removed this term and their T&Cs are fine. Games and Casino is herewith removing Affiliate Club, CasinoClub, Casino Club Poker, Poker Kings and Slots Club from the blacklist.

Grand Prive Casinos are blacklisted!

Do not play at Casino Grand Bay, Bella Vegas, Lake Palace, Roadhouse Reels, Jupiter Club, Fortune Junction, Jackpot Wheel and Villa Fortuna.

Learn more on the Grand Prive Blacklist page.

The following casinos appear to be going through the process of arranging for pay outs, but the payments never arrive and communication breaks down.

I advise extreme caution:

Mightyslots.com, Mightyslots.biz
Realvegasonline.com, Realvegasonline.biz
99slotmachines.com, 99slotmachines.biz
Plentyjackpots.com, Plentyjackpots.biz
Slotnuts.com, Slotnuts.biz

Casino Pays is Blacklisted!

These casinos are spamdexing all the search engines. To be seen everywhere are the rogued Clubdice casino, the blacklisted Carnival casino and the rogued New York and USA casinos as well as the blacklisted CDpoker. They are spamming the search engines in exactly the same way people who sell Viagra spam your mail.

This is totally, unethical, forbidden by the search engines and must be very annoying to people looking for real information.

The rogued CasinoPays is even conducting competitons with prizes for Search Engine Spammers!

Absolute Poker

Absolute Poker has had a couple of huge cheating scandals. They seem to have been run in a decent manner, and if it wasn't for the way they handled the cheating we would have continued to carry them.

Atlantic Lounge Casino - RTG

Extreme warning - this casino's owner has disappeared and there is no contact. Stay away!

Atlantic Vegas Casino

This is not a licenced casino and who knows what the software is. Since it is unlicenced and using unknown software, we recommend you stay away.

These guys have a reputation for giving huge bonuses which make it almost impossible to fulfill the wagering requirements, so you can't withdraw. Should you get close to withdrawing, you get another bonus that will put you in the hole again. If you should be lucky enough to end up with winnings anyway, they have a reputation for just not paying the winnings.

Stay away!

GoldVIPCasino (RTG)

This casino spams, employs search engine cheats (blackhat webmasters) and is rude as heck to players and people who complain about spam.We simply won't deal with such dodgy outfits and neither should you.

This software has glitches - in favor of the casino. Don't play on rigged software!

Maxima (Playtech):

These guys seem to be changing the rules after the game - you can play your bonus just the way you were told to when you got it, but when you want to cash out they tell you the rules are different. And low and behold, they changed them while you played.

Don't play at casinos that change the horse in the middle of the race!

Ministering Angel Casino (Proprietary Software):

What? What kind of name is that? And the software looks shoddy and plays awful. And they copy pages from other casinos to theirs.

This looks like bad software to me.

Don't play shoddy software.

Naked Poker (CyberArts)

These guys don't seem to want to pay for advertising they purchased. That's a bad omen.

Don't play there, if they cheat others, they may well cheat you too.

Rocco Casino (proprietary software)

Another casino with weird software that is rigged.

If it looks and plays weird, don't play there.

Tajmahal Palace Casino

What software is this? Who knows? I don't.

In any case, they don't pay players their winnngs.

Stay away from the great unknown!

Top speed Poker (Dynamic Gaming Systems)

The web is buzzing with reports of non payment to winners.

Winward (Parlay)

If you play there, don't take a bonus. Their bonuses have ridiculopus conditions attached and result in non payment.

888 is NO LONGER on probation:

Gamesandcasino is pleased to announce that 888 Casino-on-Net appears to have rectified all the problems that landed them on the blacklist. We feel free to recommend the casino again. However, due to the current legal situation, 888 is not accepting any US players at this time. This also extends to the poker room Pacific Poker. Both the casino and poker room have been online for a very long time and are well run and well organized.

The problem that resulted in the blacklisting was solely a marketing issue, which has now been completely resolved. So, if you are not a US citizen, we can endorse your patronage of the 888 properties again.

Not Recommended

The following Casinos are still blacklisted but are now under new ownership or management or are otherwise trying to redeem themselves. I am not removing them from the blacklist, and I cannot recommend them yet. If you play there, please proceed with caution. If you have any trouble, please let me know at domnique@thegoodluckcharm.com. If you are happy, please let me know that too. These casinos are trying to prove that they are reliable and solid now, and they have shown me some evidence that they are on the right path.

These casinos are on probation:

Grand Banks
Black Widow

The Casinomeister rogued IGS casinos and I am following suit.

IGS is a cheap software that is being sold freely to anyone who wants it.

That is really bad news since there are lots of owners who do not have the resources to pay winners. Underfunded casinos are big trouble. They tend to have bad or nonexistant service. And they often go broke.

If the software company were ready to step in and, in order to protect it's reputation, took care of such problems, that would still be acceptable.

But that does not appear to be happening here.

There are numerous player complaints that emerged over time, and they are not being taken care of.

For these reasons I agree with Casinomeister and blacklist the following IGS Casinos:

www.5percentjuice.com www.cybernetcasino.com www.empress-casino.com www.exclamationpoints000casino.com www.gamblingsaloon.com www.golddoorcasino.com www.goldenspadepoker.com www.goodbetcasino.com www.interactivegaming.com www.interactivegamingsystems.com www.planetrockcasino.com www.playercenter.com www.playerscove.com www.pokerpool.com www.pressaid.com www.wagerbig.com
