Not every online casino deserves your deposit. StakerPulse maintains this page as a public record of casinos that have demonstrated patterns of behaviour harmful to players.
A casino is listed here when we identify consistent, verifiable evidence of one or more of the following: repeatedly delayed or refused legitimate withdrawals, revoked or expired gambling licences, confirmed use of unlicensed or rigged game software, systematic bonus abuse where terms are changed retroactively to deny payouts, unresponsive customer support combined with unresolved player complaints, or identity theft or misuse of player documentation.
A single player complaint is not enough to land a casino on this list. We look for patterns — multiple reports of the same issue from independent sources over a sustained period. One slow withdrawal is a bad experience. A dozen reports of frozen accounts across multiple forums is a pattern.
If a casino doesn't display a licence number in its footer, walk away. Check the regulator's website directly.
Anything above 50x is aggressive. Above 60x means the bonus has negative expected value for almost all players.
Email-only support in 2026 is a red flag. Legitimate casinos offer 24/7 live chat.
Check AskGamblers and Trustpilot. Multiple complaints about delayed or denied withdrawals is the single biggest warning sign.
If the terms and conditions reference a different casino name, the site is likely a white-label clone with no real operator behind it.
Casinos that make it difficult to close your account or repeatedly contact you after self-exclusion requests are violating responsible gambling standards.
No verifiable licence. Claims Curaçao registration but number doesn't appear on any regulator database.
75x wagering on all bonuses with a 72-hour expiry. Mathematically impossible to clear.
Multiple AskGamblers complaints about withdrawals delayed 30+ days. Support unresponsive.
Terms and conditions reference "Diamond Casino" throughout — copy-paste white-label with no original operator.
No live chat. Email support took 9 days to respond during testing.
"No deposit bonus" requires 120x wagering and has a €50 max cashout. Effectively worthless.
Claims MGA licence but number is expired. Currently operating without valid regulation.
Refused self-exclusion request during testing. Continued sending promotional emails after account closure request.
Game RTP settings confirmed at 88-90% — well below industry standard of 94-97%.
Withdrawal minimum €500. Most players will never accumulate enough to cash out.
Bonus T&Cs change without notice. Players reported mid-wagering rule changes that voided progress.
Deposits are instant but withdrawals have a mandatory 7-day "cooling off" period with no option to skip.
Our process for flagging casinos involves checking regulatory databases for licence status and any enforcement actions, reviewing player complaints across independent forums and dispute resolution services, verifying operator identity and cross-referencing against known problematic groups, and testing the casino directly where possible, including deposit and withdrawal attempts.
If you have funds at a casino listed here, withdraw immediately using the fastest available method. Document all transactions and communications. If the casino refuses to process your withdrawal, file a formal complaint with the licensing authority listed on the casino's website. If the casino has no valid licence, your options are unfortunately limited, which is precisely why licence verification before depositing is so critical.
If you've had a negative experience at a casino not listed here, report it through our Contact page. Include the casino name, a description of the issue, any supporting documentation, and the timeline of events. We investigate every submission and update this page accordingly.
