In the world of online casinos, fraudulent ones are a huge problem. Whether they don’t deliver payouts or refuse to cooperate, they damage the reputation of online gambling world in general. That is why they need to be reviewed and blacklisted, so people would know which gambling websites to avoid and which ones to trust.
The casino that is reviewed in this article, Casinobar, had been operating for quite some time before a certain user reported it for cheating at Blackjack. When that particular piece of information was revealed, the whole fraudulent truth came out and everything collapsed like a house of cards. We have gathered information about all the other things that were not right about this casino that no longer exists, and you will be provided with all the details.
General Information
As you probably already know, a license is a very important thing when it comes to online casinos. There are various licensing jurisdictions, and some are more trustworthy than the others. However, the information regarding the license has to be available to the players. As we were unable to find it, and the website can no longer be loaded, we can only come to the conclusion that it was at least questionable. Nevertheless, there are aspects that are confirmed to have been irregular, so we will do our best to list and explain those.
Casinobar did not exactly operate the way an online casino is supposed to. In other words, it did not fulfill certain requirements and it lacked qualifications necessary to be considered legitimate. No wonder it turned out to be fraudulent. Fortunately, it does not exist anymore, so it is one scam website less, which, you must admit, is a success.
The games Casinobar held were not available on mobile devices, which is great when you stop to think about it. Given that they proved to be a cheating casino, that was one less channel for them to cheat through.
In addition to not having a good amount of options a good casino usually should have, Casinobar also lacked the possibility of playing live games. It did have one thing though, and that was a cheating piece of software.
First Impression
Each casino needs to make a good first impression, whether it’s an online one or a land-based one. Their purpose is to appeal to the experienced gamblers using a wide range of different games, themed slot machines with generous progressive jackpots, and so on. As for the inexperienced ones, other than the variety of casino offerings, there are flashy lights, good graphics, and imaginative games for beginners.
However, we cannot form an opinion on this casino based on its website layout, as it does not have it, given the fact that it was closed. However, that does not mean that we don’t have an opinion of it at all. The huge amount of irregularities, some of which have already been mentioned, have certainly left an impression on us. Unfortunately for the casino in question, the impression it left can only be described as bad. It probably lacked a license, and it had the audacity to rip a player off. The news travels fast, so its operators paid the appropriate price by having their casino closed.
Games and Software
As you can figure out on your own, there is no data on the games that were available at this casino, as it cannot be accessed anymore. However, one game was definitely available, and that was Blackjack. We are sure about that, as the infamous cheating incident that kick-started the whole process of blacklisting this casino happened during that game.
As for the software, that is the highlight of the whole review. On top of having the audacity to treat its players poorly in general, the casino featured a rigged piece of software. There was a whole fuss regarding the matter, as the lawyers of the problematic software, COA World Entertainment Limited, tried to persuade the journalist who published the news about the scam to apologize. They claimed that the article was not objective and threatened to sue. That claim was, of course, unfounded, so the story ended with that threat. So much about the software provider’s professionalism and objectivity.
User Experience
As we have already stated, the experience of a certain user triggered the whole research leading to the conclusion that Casinobar was fraudulent. The user in question reported the casino for cheating at Blackjack. It would supposedly reject the dealer’s card if it would cause him to lose and replace it with another one. The proportions of such cases were so huge that even the Wizard of Odds issued a warning about Casinobar and its software provider.
Given that there was so much fuss about the report, it is only logical to conclude that the casino’s customer service was not exactly responsive. If it had been otherwise, the problem would have probably been solved and would have remained between the user and the casino and not all over the Internet.
Pros and Cons
There is one huge positive thing about this online casino that makes up for all the negative ones — it is closed, so that prevents it from cheating its players again.
As for the cons, there is a whole bunch of them. Casinobar cheated and ignored its users, and then tried to persuade everyone that everything was in perfect order. However, the absolute winner of all irregularities regarding this gambling website was the rigged software, which probably caused all the other ones in the first place.
Verdict
Do not do the crime if you cannot do the time. All casino operators who are tempted to make some easy money by cheating should be aware of that saying. Casinobar crossed the line, as it was full of irregularities, so its shady business practice was destined to come to an end. You should be glad that it cannot damage the online gambling community further, as we all are.
