I don't believe/trust either party right off the bat. I had my own issue with them but, yeah, I think there are more fair casinos out there than dubious and abusive players but every accusation has to be looked at separately (case to case basis).
I don't take anything at face value either; however, since I haven't had any issues with the casino I use, I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. That might change if I encounter problems in the future.
I will always support the player at any time and on any day. A player who has not been treated unfairly cannot file a complaint. In all complaints, the player is correct.
C'mon man, don't you read scam accusation threads on BTCT? It's full of jokes. Mostly it's about arbitrage betting/cartel stuff and promotion/ToS abuse. Usually, they break the ToS, and their balance gets confiscated and they then want their money back.
Don't take any side until you see it through, if casino doesn't need to scam then why there are tons of scam casinos are available and one classic example is 1xbit.
Sure, I still read the cases from a neutral perspective.
As for why there are so many scams, based on my limited observation, it boils down to corporate governance and revenue for legitimate casinos. They are different from phishing schemes and sites purposely created as scam machines. I've read and heard many stories about successful casinos whose owners misuse the money irresponsibly. As for smaller casinos, well, they're just desperate.
Still, if it’s run properly and has many users, a casino is a sweet business. My dream is to own one, lol.
