What really sucks about online gambling

[ericodapro]

While searching for an online casino to play at, I discovered one of the largest casino review sites, LCB.org. They describe themselves as "an independent directory and reviewer of online casinos, a casino forum, and a guide to casino bonuses." This sounded perfect, so I checked their reviews for casinos and found one for Liberty Slots Casino. According to the LCB reviewer, Liberty Slots is safe to deposit at because they are fully licensed by "gaming regulators of Curacao" and hold a CFR seal (Certified Fair Gambling), indicating a strong commitment to fairness. This sounded great, and they even provided a convenient link to register.

I clicked the link to guarantee my free spins upon registering, but before depositing, I checked Liberty Slots' homepage. They claimed that all games on the site are audited monthly for fairness and provided a link to verify this. However, I discovered a significant issue: while they do have monthly audits, slots are not included. Only table games, keno, blackjack, and video poker are listed in the audits. Slots, which likely make up 75% of the entire casino, are excluded. Why would they claim "ALL games" are audited monthly when the CFR clearly states otherwise?

This discrepancy concerned me and made me question other claims by the LCB reviewer. Does Liberty Slots really have a license? I opened a live chat with Liberty's online support agent and asked about their licensing. The agent replied, "I cannot provide you with that information," and then disconnected. Further investigation revealed that Liberty Slots has always claimed to be licensed but won't disclose by whom, which, according to Curacao regulations, they are required to provide on their website.

What is going on here? One of the largest casino review sites is telling players they are safe to deposit at an unlicensed casino that misleads players about the fairness audits. This experience has left me deeply disappointed in the online gaming community. I expected transparency and honesty, especially from reputable review sites. Instead, I found misleading information and a lack of accountability. It feels like LCB is promoting a casino that can manipulate games in their favor without any repercussions, all for an affiliation paycheck. This undermines the trust players place in these platforms and highlights the need for greater scrutiny and integrity in the online gaming industry.

Normally I would provide screen shots to back up what I'm saying but feel free to fact check me by looking at Liberty Slots review on LCB and also look at Liberty's CFR on the casino website. Honestly, is this how the industry works?

Well LCB is a rival of CM, why did you ask this here with multiple mentions of LCB in your post?

I used that site for years before I made the switch to CM, CM is far superior, LCB is just all about spamming users with ads to casinos. You visit their site and forum and it has ads all over the place. That is the main reason I stopped using it and the forum.

I do not know about Liberty slots though I am sure someone will reply to help you soon.

LCB is part of a large network of affiliate sites and also bought a few years back the then independent Affiliate Guard Dog. I rarely visit LCB or indeed any of their sister sites.

Casinomeister has in the main been my goto place to visit since around 2004 and I took the plunge and opened this account back in 2005.

Have met many people IRL thanks to this forum and made many friends as a result. The really good thing about CM is that visitors to the site are also able to provide their own opinions on the casinos listed.

So far since CM was sold to Gentoo Media nee GiG in June, I can confirm from what I have personally seen, there has not been any interference in how CM is run. Indeed @Casinomeister himself is still very much here

As a player, of course do your research, but I would never take one site's 'say so'. Get a variety of opinions and if in the main they are all singing from the same hymn sheet about a particular casino, then it is very likely you have come across a decent place to play at.

Pornhub Casino used to have a virtual slot complete with a glory hole at the bottom on their home page for the customers complete satisfaction.
Unfortunately it kept timing out on me!

If a casino cannot or will not provide licensing info, run a mile. Sadly, some seemingly respectable affiliate sites do offer dodgy sites, often alongside good ones for credibility.

Slots from proper developers are audited where they have valid licenses and the auditing infrastructue in place, like the UK, IoM etc.

So non-audited slots could mean one of a few things; faked pirated versions of the proper ones, allowing play of real games where they shouldn't or using bent developers.

And yes, LCB was mentioned more times than necessary so I am trusting this is NOT oblique shilling.

I mentioned LCB multiple times because their review provided me with false information and also so that you and anyone else could look for themselves and verify what I'm saying is true. My post has nothing to do about rivalry, its about the experience I had and wanting to share it within the gambling community.

My post is about LCB, of course I'm going to mention them.

Exactly my point! So why would LCB tell me its safe to deposit here? Do you see the problem now?

It could be that from their point of view, it's safe to deposit there because if you run into a problem, you can always come back to them and they'll help sort it out. With this logic, they can promote any online casino, no matter what others say elsewhere.

Yes that post was focused on the casino and how they try to deceive players. This post is spotlighting how reviews will also be deceiving and players should be aware of this.
