Our List of Rogue Casinos:
The term rogue casino refers to a casino that is run with dubious ethics; they are often out to scam their customers in one way or another and should therefore be avoided. The casinos in this list are not just casinos that come with little recommendation; they are casinos that should be avoided at all costs. If you play at such casinos you must know that your personal information is likely to be used for such things as identity theft, or they will try to remove money from your bank accounts fraudulently. And if you manage to win on such a casino, do not expect to receive any of your winnings. These casinos will often disappear without a trace within a couple of weeks of you opening an account with them:

Casinos that we deem un-recommended:
The casinos in the following tables come highly un-recommended by us, they are probably not as dangerous to play on as rogue casinos; however you will find them difficult to deal with. They often have extremely poor customer service, terrible bonus conditions (such as play through rates of 100%) and have questionable business ethics. They are casinos that are best avoided until they begin to act on their players concerns and begin practicing good, fair and honest business.

Casinos With Cheating Software:
Certain unscrupulous casinos will use software that allows them to cheat, it could be that they use a common piece of software but crack it to reprogrammed the house odds, increasing the chances of the house winning- and over the long term bringing in a lot of money from unsuspecting customers. There are also some software providers that allow their customers (the casinos) to programme the software themselves.

Casinos Using Fake Licensing and Accreditation Logos/Company Names
One way of knowing that a casino is safe to play with is to look for the certification on the homepage that they are a member of an online casino accreditation company, however, some rogue casinos have cottoned on to the fact that players will look for such signs. As such they may add a logo of a reputable company making it appear that they are affiliated when in fact they are not. This is easy to find out by simply contacting the accreditation company.
However, some rouge casinos go a step further and fabricate whole accreditation companies, so that when a player requests confirmation from the licensing company, they receive confirmation. They make it appear that they have a stamp of authenticity by running a rogue casino and a rogue licensing/Accreditation Company simultaneously.
Certain accreditation companies began life legitimately, but over the years became apathetic and stopped working ethically, they failed to make the correct checks on the websites that signed up with them, never checking their legitimacy. Still others, because they have become apathetic are actually unaware that they are being used by rogue casinos. The following table lists the licensing/accreditation that if they appear on an online casino site is a sure sign the site should be avoided:

|
Egaming Commission |

Dead But Possibly Yet Unburied:
The following table lists casinos that have been removed from the internet, the reason that they are still included in our blacklist is because the operators may still be in business and by reading the list you may be able to see a similarity between them and a current site you are thinking of playing with. If the similarities are too great, then avoid playing with them.
