What Is a Blacklisted Casino
What blacklisted means and how we decide.
A blacklisted casino is an online gambling site with documented fraud, non-payment of legitimate winnings, or expired/fake licensing. Not just bad reviews. Not just slow payouts. Blacklisted means the casino has a pattern of taking deposits and refusing to return money players are owed.
We track 36 flagged casinos across 4 severity levels. 4 are fully blacklisted (do not deposit money, period). 8 carry avoid or concerning ratings. 24 are flagged with caution for issues like low withdrawal limits, long reversal windows, or aggressive bonus terms.
Our flags come from four data sources, not opinions: Casino.Guru Safety Index (structural fairness scoring), AskGamblers complaint resolution rate (what percentage of player disputes get resolved), Trustpilot player reviews (real user sentiment), and our own withdrawal testing. A casino gets flagged when its Safety Index drops below 7.0, its complaint resolution falls below 50%, or we find documented patterns of non-payment.
The average complaint resolution for the 36 flagged casinos on this page is 53%. For the 26 casinos with Safety Index 8.0+, that number is 78%. The gap tells you everything.
Warning Levels
What each flag level means.
Do not play. Documented fraud, license violations, or systematic non-payment.
Serious unresolved issues. High complaint rates, predatory terms, or withheld payouts.
Multiple red flags. Below-average complaint resolution, suspicious practices.
Known issues with slow payouts, low monthly limits, or aggressive bonus terms.

Why These Casinos Are Flagged
What players actually report about each flagged casino.
Illegal sweepstakes operation with MLM-style agent network. Zero licensing for US operations. Documented RTP manipulation: advertised 96%, actual 90-92%. Agent-dependent withdrawals — your payout depends on whether your agent feels like paying. Agents buy credits wholesale at $0.17 each, sell at $1.00 — a 500% markup. Documented cases: agents refusing payouts after large wins, missing deposits with blockchain proof, accounts suspended after wins. Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Michigan block access. California Supreme Court ruled similar operations are illegal slot machines.
SSC Entertainment / AffDynasty flagship. Casino Guru: 3.0/10 with 2,891 black points — one of the highest black point counts in the industry. BLACKLISTED by Gambler's Guard. License expired August 2024 with no renewal. Rule 11.10 permits confiscation of balances for public complaints — documented $31,608 confiscation under this rule. Withdrawal delays of 15-60+ days. $500/week cap means a $10,000 win takes 20 weeks. Documented: KYC verification takes 15+ days with intrusive document requests including debit card authorization forms. Support described as 'non existent' by players. 25% resolution rate. Sister casinos: This is Vegas, Candyland, Cocoa Casino, DaVinci's Gold.
SSC Entertainment / AffDynasty network. Casino Guru safety: 3.6/10 with 1,197 black points. License unverified — Casino Guru states 'does not hold an official gambling license.' Documented patterns: 10x deposit earnings cap confiscates legitimate wins, $500/week withdrawal limit forces 6+ week cycles for moderate wins, partial payments (requested $1,000, received $150), retroactive bonus application invalidates prior deposits, accounts closed during withdrawal disputes. Multiple players report bank fraud after KYC document submission. 30% complaint resolution is among the worst in our database. Sister casinos include Paradise 8, Cocoa Casino, DaVinci's Gold.
Withdrawal failure dominates. Six-to-seven week timelines on single $2,500 cashouts per LCB threads, partial $500 payouts, and repeated re-verification cycles described as stalling. Secondary: the February 2024 RealTime Gaming termination with reports of clone games replacing RTG titles. Tertiary: Bitcoin deposit fees up to 15%. Casino Guru, LCB, and Casinos.com all flag Red Dog. AskGamblers resolution estimated around 60%.
Pattern is clear across every review platform: withheld payouts on large wins, retroactively applied bonus terms to void withdrawals, support goes silent during payment disputes, and the 72-hour reversal window gets used to cancel pending cashouts. AskGamblers 34% resolution rate is one of the worst we've recorded. Multiple 'predatory practices' flags on Casino Guru.
Trustpilot has flagged Lucky Block with a red warning banner for fabricating reviews and breaching guidelines, and has removed an unspecified number of fake 5-star posts. Casino Guru gives a Low Safety Index of 4.4/10 with 15,136 black points across 4 documented complaints. The dominant theme is large-balance withdrawal denials after KYC: a $43,000 case (deposit $23K, balance $43K, every withdrawal request denied without stated reason) and a $27,484 USDT confiscation post-KYC are both still open on AskGamblers. Smaller crypto cashouts under a few thousand dollars typically clear in 5 to 20 minutes per player reports, so the friction is concentrated on large winners. Withdrawal-speed and KYC figures here are review-derived, not measured.
Consistent withdrawal delays across all methods. 54% AskGamblers resolution rate, so nearly half of complaints go unanswered. Support is not actually 24/7, leaving US evening players with no help. A few unresolved payment disputes. The 24-hour reversal window adds insult. Approaching red flag territory.
Withdrawal speed dominates complaints. Players report 5 to 7 calendar days for crypto and longer for bank wire, despite the 3-5 business-day promise. Partial approvals are common: $2,500 requests get released in $500 chunks across multiple payouts. KYC adds up to 3 days on the first withdrawal. Casino Guru flags 2,295 black points across 2 logged complaints. Tennessee fined Wonder Play $50,000 in October 2025. Michigan and Minnesota each issued cease-and-desist orders, in March 2025 and November 2025 respectively. Withdrawal speed estimates are review-derived, not measured.
Casino Guru rates the Safety Index at 5.4 (Below Average), flagging unfair T&C clauses around bonus voiding and account closures, plus 3,162 black points totaled across the casino's network. Wizard of Odds rates Punt 3.5/5 with no endorsement, pointing to a 5% processing fee that the T&Cs apply to every withdrawal but the lobby and bonus marketing do not surface. Player reports across review sites describe withdrawal delays beyond the advertised 24-hour pending window and account managers giving conflicting timelines on approved cashouts. Yebo Casino, the sole sister site identified in research, runs a similar profile on Casino Guru at 5.8 (also Below Average), so Punt's 5.4 is in line with its sibling rather than anomalously low. Trustpilot and AskGamblers data points for the puntcasino.net domain were not directly verifiable in this audit and are left null rather than estimated.
The dominant complaint is the $2,500 weekly cashout cap across all methods. A $10,000 win means a four-week withdrawal cycle. Secondary pattern: KYC verification stretches 2 to 6 days with players reporting requests for additional documents after submission. Casino Guru lists 3 direct complaints plus 6 related complaints across the Beforelity sister network (Highway, ComicPlay, JuiceBet) and rates the Safety Index 5.6, but did not flag the T&Cs as predatory. AskGamblers carries zero complaints, which is unusual at four years of operation. Trustpilot has only 6 reviews and runs polarized. Some players report successful Bitcoin payouts inside 48 hours after KYC clears. Other players report delays stretching weeks while support cycles document requests.
Withdrawal Speeds and Limits

Warning Signs to Watch For
How to spot a bad casino before you deposit.
Complaint resolution below 50%
Every blacklisted casino in our database has an AskGamblers resolution rate below 35%. The database average is 72%. Below 50% means the casino ignores most player complaints.
Safety Index below 5.0
Casino.Guru Safety Index below 5.0 indicates structural problems with T&Cs, complaint handling, or licensing. Only 11 casinos in our database score that low. All are on this page.
$5,000 or lower monthly withdrawal limit
Low monthly caps force you to wait months for moderate wins. A $20,000 win at a $4,000/month casino takes 5 months to receive. During that time, the casino hopes you will reverse and gamble it back.
No verifiable license
6 casinos on this page have no valid license. Without a regulator, you have zero legal recourse if the casino refuses to pay.
72-hour+ reversal window
A long reversal window is not a feature. It is a retention tactic. The casino holds your withdrawal for 3 days hoping you will cancel it and keep playing. Fast casinos process immediately with no reversal option.
Bonus terms that void winnings
Some casinos retroactively apply bonus terms to void legitimate winnings. They accuse you of "bonus abuse" or cite obscure T&C clauses after you win. This pattern appears at 8 of 16 flagged casinos.
How to Check if a Casino Is Safe
5 steps to verify any casino before you deposit
Check the Casino.Guru Safety Index
Look up the casino on Casino.Guru. A Safety Index of 7.0+ is acceptable. 8.0+ is good. Below 5.0 is dangerous. Every blacklisted casino on this page scores below 4.0. The 26 safe casinos in our database average 8.5.
Check AskGamblers complaint resolution
AskGamblers tracks player complaints and whether casinos resolve them. Below 50% is a red flag. Below 35% is dangerous. Our flagged casinos average 53% resolution. Safe casinos average 78%.
Verify the license
Look for the license number at the bottom of the casino site. Then verify it on the regulator website. MGA and UKGC are the strongest. Curacao is common but offers less player protection. If the license is expired, unverified, or missing, do not deposit.
Test a small withdrawal first
Deposit a small amount ($20-50), play through it, and request a withdrawal. Time how long it takes. If the casino stalls, adds extra verification steps, or offers you a bonus to cancel, those are warning signs.
Read the withdrawal terms
Check the T&Cs for monthly withdrawal limits, reversal windows, and maximum cashout rules. Monthly limits below $10,000 are a concern. Reversal windows over 24 hours exist to make you cancel withdrawals. Bonus-linked max cashout caps can void large wins.
Quick safety check
Safety Index 7.0+, complaint resolution 60%+, valid license, fast test withdrawal, clear terms. If all five check out, the casino is likely safe.
What to Do if You Got Scammed
What to do if a casino refuses to pay you.
Withdraw everything immediately
Use the fastest method available. Crypto processes fastest at most casinos. Do not leave money sitting in your account while you dispute. Do not deposit more. Do not accept "bonus credit" as a substitute for a real withdrawal.
File complaints on AskGamblers and Casino.Guru
These platforms have the most pull with operators. AskGamblers mediates disputes and publicly tracks resolution rates. Casino.Guru assigns black points that affect the casino safety score. Both platforms have resolved thousands of complaints where direct support failed.
Document everything
Screenshot your account balance, withdrawal requests, chat transcripts, and email correspondence. Save the casino T&Cs (they sometimes change them after disputes). Record dates and amounts. This evidence is needed for complaints and chargebacks.
Dispute charges with your payment provider
If you deposited by credit card, file a chargeback. If you used an e-wallet (Skrill, Neteller), open a dispute through their platform. Crypto deposits have no reversal mechanism, which is why scam casinos push crypto-only banking.
Report to your state attorney general
Every US state AG has a consumer complaint form. Offshore casinos operate outside US jurisdiction, but AG complaints create a paper trail and can trigger investigations. If enough complaints accumulate, payment processors may cut off the casino.
Warn other players
Leave honest reviews on Trustpilot, AskGamblers, and casino forums like LCB. Specific details help more than vague complaints. Name the casino, state the amount, describe the timeline. Your review might stop someone else from depositing.

Casino Blacklist: FAQ
Common questions about flagged, rogue, and blacklisted casinos
We combine four data sources: Casino.Guru Safety Index (structural fairness), AskGamblers complaint resolution rate, Trustpilot player sentiment, and our own withdrawal testing. Casinos scoring below 4.0 Safety Index, or with complaint resolution below 35%, or with documented fraud patterns are flagged. We also check Wizard of Odds, LCB, and AskGamblers blacklists for cross-reference.
