Casino Download > Casino Directory > Blacklisted/Not Recommended Casinos Blacklisted/Not Recommended Online Casinos Fortunately, the majority of online casinos and the people behind them are trustworthy. We wouldn't be in this business otherwise and we pride ourselves on not working with dodgepot casinos who are likely to screw over any visitors we send their way. We also don't want to get screwed over ourselves if the casino owes us advertising fees. The following list of 'not recommended' casinos is a very mixed bag and just because you see a casino listed here, does not necessarily mean that it is a bad or unethical casino - but it probably is best avoided. If they're on this list then we have decided not to put our reputation or approval behind the casino for one reason or another and the casino is almost certainly blacklisted at Casino-Download.com and any ethical online casino review website. Slowly paid or completely refused cashouts, broken contractual agreements, failure to respond to enquiries, outright theft of funds, rude and arrogant employees/owners and excessive documentation requests are just a few of the reasons why a casino could find itself 'not recommended' or 'not approved' by Casino-Download.com. We've been reviewing online casinos for more than 20 years so we should know our stuff by now. Take this list for what it is - information about online casinos that exist and are probably best avoided. Feel free to give them a try if you enjoy throwing caution (and your money) to the wind but be warned - when something goes horribly wrong, we won't be in a position to help as we do not work with any 'not recommended' casinos. Play safe - start with our homepage to find trustworthy online casinos approved by casino-download.com. Full Not Recommended/Blacklisted Casinos List 32 Red - 3Dice - Aladdin's Gold - Betfair - Betfred - BetVictor - BGO - Buzzluck - Energy - Foxy - Gala - Genting - Grosvenor - Guts - High Noon - InterCasino - Jackpot247 - Kitty Bingo - Ladbrokes - Lucky Red - Manhattan Slots - Mr Smith - Nordis - Party - Prospect Hall - Roxy Palace - Sahara Sands - Tropica - Vernons 32 Red Casino Now more often in the online press for receiving enormous fines and penalties for wrongdoings than for any actual business dealings, 32 Red Casino has been officially blacklisted. 32 Red Casino and its horrible parent company Kindred has stolen many advertisers' funds, relentlessly spammed (us!) plus they've allowing their casino to become rather crappy compared to most online casinos - especially Microgaming casinos. 32 Red is no longer a trustworthy brand or casino and cannot be trusted with your personal information - and that's been the case for several years now. We urge ALL visitors and 32 Red members to close their accounts. Ensure you remove ALL your details, especially your payment and personal details. Play at 32 Red at your own risk - and it's a big one. Read more about 32 Red Casino 3Dice Casino 3Dice Casino has been online since 2006 and for the first decade or so, 3Dice was a strictly download-only casino with no instant-play/browser or mobile version. Then everything flipped on its head. 3Dice discontinued its download casino and became an instant-play/mobile casino. Lack of any response from the casino (e-mails to the casino go ignored without reply) is just one of the reasons for blacklisting 3Dice Casino - they also intentionally confuse visitors as to which countries are accepted. Avoid. Read more about 3Dice Casino Aladdin's Gold Casino Aladdin's Gold's games are from Realtime Gaming. The no-download version of Aladdin's Gold is Mac-compatible. Not a casino to be trusted, being operated by a proper bunch of crooks. Read more about Aladdin's Gold Casino Betfair Casino Betfair is a betting site incorporating an online casino, poker rooms, live dealers, bingo games and online betting exchange. Betfair has seized/stolen winnings that should have been rightfully paid to several members. We probably don't need to comment much more than that - if you deposit here, you do so at your own risk. Read more about Betfair Casino Betfred Casino Betfred is a UK based betting company. As well as its online casino and betting shops, Betfred also offer online poker, lotto, live dealers, bingo and virtual sports. Our dealings with Betfred left a rather nasty taste in our mouth and we won't be taking another bite any time soon. Read more about Betfred Casino BetVictor Casino Previously named Victor Chandler, BetVictor is an online casino, poker site and sports bookmaker (online and land-based). It's also a hugely unpopular company with advertisers/affiliates so don't expect to see them recommended on casino-download.com or any other legitimate/honest review portal. BGO Casino We worked with BGO for a number of years, putting up with occasional (but lengthy) late payments but in 2019, BGO finally pulled the plug on what remained of their integrity. Failing to pay future-due revenue to advertisers and affiliates in what appears a 'cash grab' does not bode well for BGO's finances or integrity. Our advice: stay away from BGO - close any existing accounts and remove your identification details. Buzzluck Casino Another one to avoid from the same wrong 'uns running Aladdin's Gold. Buzzluck used to be trustworthy (and was recommended at casino-download.com) until new owners screwed it up almost overnight. You'll see Buzzluck advertised and even recommended on a small number of online casino review sites. Unethical bastards doesn't quite do justice to how we regard those affiliates/advertisers. Read more about Buzzluck Casino Energy Casino Energy is a blacklisted no download casino. Go back some years and players were posting positive reviews of Energy Casino with particular praise for fast payouts, a good choice of games and friendly customer service. Fast-forward to today and we're looking at a very different casino operated in a very different way, both for players and advertisers. Energy's has turned to the dark side, closing multiple accounts leading to non-payouts and broken contracts with numerous partners. Foxy Casino Available for PC, Mac and mobile devices, Foxy accept players in most countries but is most known in the United Kingdom. Foxy is regularly advertised and promoted on UK TV, which is as close as we ever want to get to this brand again. Gala Casino Gala is a well known UK gambling brand most famous for casino and bingo, both online and land-based. Gala Casino added an extra dimension of gambling and risk to our dealings with them by keeping us guessing as to when they would bite us in the ass. So no, we're not fans of Gala, a view shared in general by online casino websites that's had the displeasure of working with them. Read more about Gala Casino Genting Casino There's a phrase, "Greed is a bottomless pit" and Genting's Playtech casino (now with other providers, woo) appears to have jumped all the way to the bottom of that pit of greed. Breach of numerous contracts and confiscating funds has led to a complete ROGUE STATUS. Genting's download casino disappeared at some point anyway so downloaders won't be missing out. From a purely advertiser/casino review point-of-view, Genting Casino is quite frankly - horrible. The people behind the casino are not individuals we would share a meal with or leave our wallet lying around nearby. Genting has gained an ugly online reputation for not paying its bills - they're big when it comes to talk but soon break contracts, introduce retroactive illegal terms negatively impacting their partners. In some cases, this can risk putting people out of work so shame on you, Genting. Pay your goddam bills. Read more about Genting Casino Grosvenor Casino Part of The Rank Group, the company name is totally spot-on! ('having an offensive rancid odor'). Grosvenor is a UK gambling brand with land-based casinos and bingo clubs. Grosvenor Casino only accept players from the United Kingdom, Ireland and Gibraltar. We've met some nice people at Grosvenor Casino but unfortunately we are not in a position to promote them following a change of unethical advertising/marketing policies (closing accounts and retaining/stealing funds) and a mammoth reduction in the quality of their casino, going as far as to even remove the Grosvenor download casino entirely. Read more about Grosvenor Casino Guts Casino Guts originally established itself as a highly regarded casino with an 'interesting' name and a good sense of humour. Player reports were excellent and payouts super-fast, paying out winnings in just two hours. Unfortunately, as a result of Guts breach of contract with numerous websites (ourselves included) and a general lack of morals in recent times, we are not comfortable recommending any players risk real money at this casino. Stay away. High Noon Casino We are firmly back in dodgepot land with High Noon Casino where the cowboy theme could not be more appropriate. It's another RTG casino with a solid history that was blown to bits by incompetent new owners. Not recommended, in case that wasn't clear. And if you find any website recommending High Noon then feel free to e-mail the owners, calling them out for being unethical degenerates who are NOT helping the online gambling industry stay clean. Go on, do it. Read more about High Noon Casino InterCasino InterCasino demonstrate yet another sad downfall of gambling history turned into trash. Despite being one of the first-ever launched online casinos, InterCasino is now fully blacklisted at casino-download.com and most ethical review guides, following InterCasino's breach of contracts, funds-withholding, account closure/money-seized threats and other wild-west tactics by InterCasino's management, owners and JPJ Group. These dirty tricks include the now infamous money-grab achieved by retroactively breaking legal contracts and stealing revenue. Read more about InterCasino Jackpot247 Casino If you're in the UK then you've probably seen Jackpot247's live roulette on late night ITV1, shown every evening (except Sunday) until around 3am. Or maybe you watched it but were too drunk to remember you not only watched but also played. It happens. As well as roulette, Jackpot247 offer live dealer blackjack, baccarat and auto-wheel roulette. And it's always been kinda crap from a player reviews point-of-view with many woeful tails of players battling through the early hours to win some loot only to have their cashout declined for some reason. That's some extra hangover. Kitty Bingo (+ Lucky Pants) Casino Kitty Bingo has done some TV advertising so there's an apparent appearance of legitimacy but there's always been something 'not quite right' about Kitty Bingo and the other gambling websites within the same group, or rather groups as a plural as the ownership of this outfit is murkier than most internet gambling companies - and that's saying something. Call it intuition from twenty years in this industry but our spider-sense was tingling - with good reason, it turns out. It also helps that we know more about them than they realise - they don't have a lot of friends. We blacklisted Kitty Bingo in 2019 along with their mates Bingo Extra, Lucky Pants, Magical Vegas and SpinandWin with plenty more pure online casino brands to follow from associated casinos marketing under separate umbrellas but actually all part of the same outfit. Smoke n mirrors, y'know? Ladbrokes Casino Established online in 2000, Ladbrokes was founded back in 1886 originally as 'commission agents' for horses. Today, Ladbrokes is the largest betting company in the UK. Sadly, that's the end of the good news. Ladbrokes online has ALWAYS been a pathetic outfit and we knew this from the days when they first opened their doors online. It was horrible to work with them back then and it's no better now. If anything, it's far worse. Ladbrokes online has a very poor reputation with marketers and other publishers. Numerous broken contracts and withheld funds have given Ladbrokes the unfortunate title of being perhaps the most untrustworthy company/brand to work with in the online gambling scene. Ladbrokes has also suffered the indignity of being fined millions of pounds by UK government authorities. Entain (the same dodgepots operating Party Casino/Entain) now own Ladbrokes which can only mean this brand is going to sink further into the depths of whatever makes a profit. Play safe - steer clear. Especially now the Ladbrokes download version has been so stupidly retired. Read more about Ladbrokes Casino Lucky Red Casino Another RTG casino cruelly struck down in its prime by the incurable 'new owners disease' (NOD) that claimed the long-earned reputation and success of Aladdin's Gold and Buzzluck. Let's try to remember them for what they were and hope there will be no more casualties of NOD. The original owners - a solid, honest team - have long since moved on and recreated the same success in the form of The Legend Group of RTG casinos - we talk about them a bit more in our review of Lucky Red Casino. Read more about Lucky Red Casino Manhattan Slots Casino Launched in 2010, Manhattan Slots is primarily an RTG slot based casino with a downtown Manhattan boutique theme. It was all looking elegant in the boutique until our old enemy NOD disease banged its way through the door and made everything look, smell and feel like sixty-year old used underwear. Damn you, NOD! This is another brand destroyed during a hostile take-over which led to the creation of The Legend Group shining through as a genuine good for our industry (read review of Manhattan Slots for more information). Read more about Manhattan Slots Casino Mr Smith Casino Boring name but not a boring history. Mr Smith entered the online casino scene with a UK focus and a questionable reputation from the day they took control of the casino from some really nice people, who had built this casino into a British success under the name of Harry Casino. Even if we dismiss all that, Mr Smith's owners decided in 2019 that enough was enough as far as paying all debts go - time to play dirty (and they did - closing accounts with due funds in them). Mr Smith is blacklisted and can go be boring and dishonest somewhere else. Nordis Casino Nordis has seemingly been doing its very best to make it onto our blacklist pages for a while now. Horrendous online reviews, a hilariously bad website littered with broken pages and errors, shocking customer support, unprofessional business dealings and a complete lack of any communication (they're great at ignoring e-mails) are ALL great reasons why Nordis should disgrace themselves on this page. Spam, however, is what finally got Nordis where they are today. They've been spamming (or allowing affiliate spam) the living bejeezus out of us for a while now and it's starting to really piss us off. If they're spamming us, they're spamming a LOT MORE PEOPLE as well. We've reported EVERY incident of spam to Nordis. Their reply is a pathetic auto-responder (again, expect spelling mistakes!) that is NEVER followed up on. Nordis, you're a crap casino behaving appallingly. Get in touch with us when you're ready to talk about how you're going to improve your image. Party Casino This outfit has had reputation problems for as long as we can remember with news stories of non-payouts of valid wins being a sticking point for many. As online casino marketers, we've discovered the nature of the beast at Party and the team behind the scenes are not people we want to work with or recommend any real play with. The internet is literally littered (yes, that works!) with negative feedback about Party which the casino - instead of trying to rectify the problem - decides to attempt to have removed. They've even gone after our own review. It didn't quite work, did it, Party? Players - stay the heck away from Party. Read more about Party Casino Prospect Hall Casino Prospect Hall is a multi-software mobile and no download casino based in the United Kingdom. We worked with these guys very briefly and don't plan on doing it again. Connected to Betfred's online casino affiliate program which has an appalling reputation for closing accounts and not paying advertisers. Roxy Palace Casino We'd rather sleep at night than send new visitors to this 'casino', owned by the same lovely people that operate the massively blacklisted 32 Red. Only for players who like to join casinos operated by arrogant arseholes and enjoy slow payouts, rude staff and the knowledge that the casino is stealing funds owed to advertisers and closing their accounts. Roxy Palace is no longer a viable or trustworthy casino in our eyes - there are much better places to play, more impressive game collections, faster payouts and better rewards. Update: this casino has closed down. That's one garbage outfit gone - let's look forward to more dodgy casinos disappearing. Read more about Roxy Palace Casino Sahara Sands Casino Sahara Sands is another rogue casino from the same stable as the equally horrendous Tropica Casino (see below). Sahara Sands has Rival Software games but we'd only recommend playing them for fun, never real money. Sahara Sands has failed to pay numerous debtors and isn't likely to change its ways. Definitely to be avoided. Oh, and if you still want to deposit at Sahara Sands then enjoy this snippet in the terms - 'A 3% processing fee will be taken on all deposits.' Yep. Read more about Sahara Sands Casino Tropica Casino Tropica Casino does its best to impress its little sister, Sahara Sands (above) by leading the way in being a particularly crap casino. Player payouts are slow (that's when they actually happen) and the casino has a very justified reputation for choosing not to pay its advertising/affiliate fees. An all-round rotten egg. Read more about Tropica Casino Vernons Casino Vernons Casino is a UK gaming site, part of the brand made famous through football pools betting back in the days before lottery tickets could be bought in every British newsagent. Vernons Casino has games from Playtech. As with all other online casinos on this page, Vernons is not endorsed by casino-download.com.
