Among a vast number of blacklisted casinos in the online gambling world, we have come upon Venice Nights, a closed gambling website. The cause of its demise were shady business practices of its operators. If you are a gambler, you are probably familiar with the ways a casino can end up labeled as fraudulent. Whether it ignores players’ complaints or doesn’t deliver payouts, if it appears on a blacklist, it is highly recommended that you avoid it.
All online casinos need to conform to some general rules, and each of them has to come to terms with what fair play means. For instance, if a player meets the wagering requirements and wins a rather generous amount using a casino bonus, the casino has to respect the bonus terms and deliver the payout. Otherwise, it breaks the rules stated in the terms and conditions section, so it cannot be trusted.
General Information
The authority that issued the license to Venice Nights Casino is Costa Rica. Every experienced gambler is familiar with the fact that it is one of the least reliable jurisdictions when it comes to online gambling licenses. Oftentimes when a casino cannot afford a decent license, it goes to Costa Rica. When the operators run a website the way they are not supposed to, they go to Costa Rica. And even when an online casino is full of irregularities, it can still be licensed in Costa Rica. So had this casino still been operating, we would have advised you to stay as far away from it as possible.
The name of this casino may sound appealing thanks to the reputation of the famous Italian city, but Venice Nights Casino did not put a lot of effort into attracting new players. Live games, as well as the option of playing via mobile devices, were simply not available.
First Impression
When we tried to load Venice Nights Casino’s official webpage by using its URL, we got redirected to an Italian gambling website called Ecasino di Venezia. According to that, we have come to the conclusion that Venice Nights has been closed, which really does not surprise us.
Games and Software
The only game we know for sure existed is blackjack. We know that thanks to a complaint of a certain user, not a positive review, that much is for sure.
As for the casino software, Venice Nights used to use AT Gaming, which is a small software company that can rarely be seen.
User Experience
A certain user claims that Venice Nights Casino refused to deliver their winnings. The explanation of the operators was that the player in question was a bonus abuser. This is exactly the kind of behavior we have been talking about. If a casino offers a bonus under certain conditions and a player manages to fulfill those conditions, the only thing left for the operators to do is pay the players out.
You must be wondering about the casino’s response to the complaint in question. It was as rude as you would expect it to be. The operators’ explanation was that the player was a bonus abuser. Sadly, this case has not been resolved yet, but the casino has met its fate. It has now become one of the casinos on the list of gambling websites that players should stay away from, plus, it has been shut down. In the end, it seems that, in a way, the case has been resolved after all.
Pros and Cons
The only pro on our list has been mentioned multiple times. It is the fact that this casino can no longer disrespect the gambling community. The only good thing Venice Nights has ever done is that it ceased to exist.
On the other hand, the list of cons is rather long, and it begins with a lousy license. On top of that, there’s the unprofessional customer support, rude operators, and stolen money. It never ceases to amaze us how certain people come up with an idea to just rip people off, hiding behind a virtual casino. Do they think nobody would ever complain? Do they really believe the whole gambling community would just go along with their charade? We do not have the answers to these questions, but one thing is certain — we will always do everything in our power to expose such people.
Our Verdict
After everything we have already mentioned, there is only one thing left to say — if Venice Nights Casino were still been operating, we would have gone out of our way to shut it down. There is no way we would just sit back and watch those people steal money and ignore their customers. So if you ever happen to come upon a gambling website that matches the description of this one in any aspect, stay as far away from it as possible. Save your money for a casino that will provide you with entertaining games and which you will be able to trust your funds with.
