DISHONEST AND UNETHICAL ONLINE CASINOS
This report is based on our own experience and reports from knowledgeable and experienced professional gamblers. In our opinions the following casinos are a danger to players.
Some use non-random software in which the payout rates appear to be rigged.
Some didn't pay winners, or required extraordinary effort to collect.
Some had exceptionally bad customer service or engaged in unethical business practices, such as refusing to honor the bonus terms and conditions in place at the time a player made a deposit.
There are so many reputable and well-run casinos on the Internet, why take your business to places where other players have been having problems?
For information on great online casinos, see the rest of this web site.

Other tips: At this time, pending further research, we recommend caution playing in casinos using proprietary software if you have been barred from receiving bonuses at that casino. Although we expect most of this software to come up fine, we recommend that you search our Online Gaming message board for further information on particular casinos if you find yourself in this situation.
