This is our editorial warning list. Every casino here carries a Cheated assessment based on recorded complaints, with the grounds, the linked cases and the review date shown. Read the reasons before you deposit, and if you already have money at one of these casinos, start with the steps further down this page.

Cheated casinoTell us what happened, the casino involved and what would put it right.
A warning should lead to a record you can examine: the issue, the casino’s response, the unresolved questions and the editorial decision. It is a starting point for checking the facts of a particular dispute.
The blacklist contains casinos our team has assessed as Cheated: operators whose recorded behaviour toward players is serious enough to justify a public warning. It is an editorial decision, made by named reviewers on the evidence in our complaint archive. It is not an automatic ranking, and it is not a copy of lists published elsewhere.
It is also not a regulator’s sanctions list, a court finding or a statement about every company that happens to share a brand name with a listed casino. Each entry describes what the record on CasinoComplaints.org establishes about a specific operator and its domains at the time of review.
A casino is listed when the evidence shows conduct that goes well beyond a slow or awkward dispute. These are the grounds we record most often:
Each listing names the grounds that apply to it. We do not use vague labels like “bad casino” without stating what the operator actually did.
Reading across the entries, the same tactics come up again and again. Recognising them early can save you a deposit.
A warning list is only useful if it is not padded. On their own, none of these is grounds for listing:
Casinos that frustrate players without meeting the threshold usually stay Unrated, and their complaints remain visible in the public complaints archive for anyone to read.
A listing follows a review of the complaints linked to the operator. The reviewer reads the cases, checks the evidence players supplied, considers any casino replies and looks for a pattern rather than relying on one dramatic story. Where the casino has a contact or an authorised representative, it has the opportunity to answer in the relevant cases before its assessment changes.
The threshold is not purely a number. One documented case can justify a listing if it shows, for example, a licence claim that the named regulator confirms is false. Equally, a dozen complaints may not, if each was eventually answered and resolved. The question is always whether the record shows conduct players should be warned about.
Each entry records the grounds, the linked public cases, the reviewer and the date of review where available. Our editorial policy explains the standards behind casino assessments and how corrections are handled.
Start with the stated reason. A casino listed for confiscating winnings under an undisclosed rule presents a different risk from one listed for a false licence claim, although both are serious enough to avoid.
Open the cases. They show the actual messages, amounts and dates, and whether the casino offered anything in its defence. You can judge for yourself whether the pattern matches your own situation.
An older review of a casino that has since gone quiet may still be accurate: rogue operators tend to stop answering rather than change their behaviour. If an entry looks out of date, tell us and send the evidence.
Rogue casinos often run mirror sites or relaunch under new names with the same templates, payment processors and support scripts. Where we can link domains to the same operator, the entry says so. If you find a site that looks identical to a listed casino, compare the company name and licence number in its footer with the entry.
A listing does not mean your balance is lost, but it does mean you should act carefully and keep records.
Our guides explain how to document a withdrawal dispute and what to keep out of anything you upload publicly.
Some listed casinos display a licence badge; some have none at all. A licence only helps you if the regulator behind it keeps a public register, accepts complaints from players and has real power over the operator. Where a casino claims a licence, check the register yourself and note what you find in your complaint. If the licence is genuine, the regulator or its approved ADR body may be a route alongside your case here. If the claim is false, that fact is evidence in its own right.
A list of names with no explanation asks you to take our word for it. We would rather you could check. Every entry states what the casino did, links to the cases where it happened and shows who reviewed it and when. If the reasons do not convince you, the evidence is there to read. That also keeps us accountable: a listing that the linked cases cannot support should not be on the page, and readers are entitled to tell us when they think one falls short.
Losing money to a rogue casino is stressful, and it can push people into risky decisions: chasing the loss elsewhere, trusting paid “recovery” services, or depositing again to unlock a balance. Be especially wary of anyone who contacts you offering to get money back from a blacklisted casino for an upfront fee. Legitimate routes, such as your bank, the regulator or a free complaint service, do not need payment in advance. If the experience has affected your gambling, our support and self-exclusion page lists organisations that can help.
Yes, but it has to change the record, not just its marketing. That usually means resolving the linked complaints, paying confirmed balances, explaining the decisions that led to the listing and showing that the conduct has stopped. A casino representative can answer in the linked cases or send evidence to the team. We do not remove listings in exchange for payment, advertising or legal threats without substance, and significant changes to an assessment are dated.
Many unsafe casinos are missing simply because nobody has filed a documented complaint with us yet, or because they rebranded recently. Before depositing anywhere, use check a casino to read the full record, verify the licence on the regulator’s own register and read the withdrawal terms yourself.
This list is built from documented player cases. If a casino has refused to pay you, confiscated your winnings or ignored your requests, file a complaint with dates, amounts and evidence. Your case may help resolve your own dispute, and it will help other players see what they are dealing with. Start with how it works, or reach the team through the contact page for anything else.
Counts come from public complaints. Casino statuses are editorial decisions. Found an incorrect domain, a missing reply or an outdated explanation? Send the editorial team the page and correction.
It can, if the record changes. The casino would need to resolve the linked complaints, pay confirmed balances and explain the conduct that led to the listing, with evidence. A promise or a press release is not enough. We review the material submitted, and any change in assessment is dated. Payment, advertising or unsupported legal threats do not remove a listing.
Stop depositing and request your withdrawal in writing, keeping a dated copy. Screenshot your balance, transaction history and the current terms. Do not pay any fee to release winnings. Then contact your payment provider about options for recent deposits, and file a documented complaint so the casino receives a clear request on the record.
A licence does not stop an operator from mistreating players. Some regulators provide little oversight or complaint handling, and some licence claims turn out to be false or attached to a different domain. We list casinos on their recorded conduct toward players. Where a licence is claimed, the entry may note whether the regulator’s register supports it.
No. Our list is built from complaints filed and reviewed on CasinoComplaints.org. Warnings published elsewhere may prompt us to look more closely at an operator, but a listing requires evidence in our own case record. That way every entry links to cases readers can open and judge for themselves.
Through an authorised representative answering in the linked cases, or by sending the listing link, the disputed statement and supporting evidence through the contact page. We review relevant material and can correct, clarify or update the entry. The casino’s replies remain part of the public record whether or not the assessment changes.
