Bit of a rant, but it feels like every site that rates casinos has gone full cooked lately. In the last little while I've seen heaps of the same brands magically jump to the top, all with near-perfect scores, same fluffy write-ups, same "fast withdrawals" line, same dodgy confidence like we're all just gonna nod along.
What gets me is when a place has obvious dramas - slow KYC, bonus terms that are a pain in the arse, support that disappears the second you ask about a delayed cashout - and somehow the write-up still reads like it's the second coming. Nah mate. If a site can't say where a casino is weak, I don't trust a word of it.
Feels like the review scene's getting worse, not better. More copy-paste, more affiliate spin, less stuff from actual punters who have deposited, withdrawn, been stung by limits, or had to chase their own money. That's the part I wanna know, not whether the homepage looks shiny.
So who's actually worth reading now? Any review sites you reckon still call it straight, or do you mostly ignore them and just go by forum posts and player comments these days?
