If you feel Casino Guru have not been useful/fair in your case that should not really negate the fact there are many cases where they have arbitrated without complaint from the accused or accuser. Also, they have concluded in favour of the complainant on many occasions.
In the general sense, I am very much against affiliate or referral links to be used in websites that claim they are 100% impartial when they arbitrate (or when they compare websites). If you feel there is something untoward going you will need to provide tangible evidence if you intend to gather support for your claim otherwise it will be something you will continue to believe but most others will not. I do not think FatFork is passionate in defending them, he is stating what you should accept as the obvious.
Why haven't you addressed my question? Why there are over 70 scam complaints about Cloudbet on this platform, yet there are only 4 negative reviews on Casino Guru, a site dedicated to reviews and complaints.
If I've been denied the chance to post on Casino Guru, do you honestly think I'm the sole person rejected? Isn't it more likely that there are others, leading to the stark difference in bad reviews between Casino Guru and other platforms? Let's use some common sense here, mate. Im not sure why your so passionate in their defence, Casino Guru are not a horse worth backing
Were kind of going around in circles here.
I understand that there are indeed cases where they side with complainants. If they didn't, their entire Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) concept would be undermined and exposed.
However, my belief, which I've substantiated with what I consider to be compelling arguments and and my own situation as evidence, is that they selectively decide which complaints and reviews to accept. It's possible that casinos with highly profitable referral links, generating substantial revenue, receive more leniency. Conversely, certain types of complaints and reviews, like mine, might be turned away
This is not as far fetched of an argument as you make it seem.
Casino Guru openly acknowledges its affiliation with the casinos if you ask them. This is not a mere allegation. When you click 'visit casino' on the casino's profile, you're redirected through a referral link.
I'm a bit swamped right now, so I can't do a thorough search at the moment. Can you please provide the link or other reference that clearly states this open acknowledgement that CG is affiliated with casinos upon being asked? Because... I looked at their "
About Us" page and couldn't find such acknowledgement. What I found is the exact opposite,

if you can point us out to this claim, it'll be very much appreciated.

[...]
And oh, while you're at it, though this topic is about CG and not cloudbet, can you please also list all of those 70+ scam accusations on this board with their link? I'd be more than happy to visit each of the cases and look around when I have more time in hand
You're actually reinforcing my argument here, which is that this information isn't readily available or easily found in their 'about us' section. Instead, they seem to admit it when people specifically ask them.
https://casino.guru/forum/general-discussion-1/how-casino-guru-worksRegarding the affiliate systems - we have a team that is responsible for registering into different affiliate systems so whenever we see that some casino gets a decent traffic from our website, we register in their affiliate systemAs for your other request, just in this post from
2020 on Bitcointalk, you can uncover 30 scam accusations against Cloudbet on this platform alone along with their respective links.
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5279500.0The passage indeed piqued my curiosity, and, as we all here simply act as overseer, a neutral ground, we strive to look for more in-depth truth. I'll say it's very convenient that it's snipped right on that part, while the full explanation actually also inform people that they are not taking payment to boost a rating, which hold a major basis of your argument. I'll provide the statement in a screenshot version, just to maintain originality and transparency
https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/21/6Wr0J.jpegNow, addressing the affiliate system you talked about, I am sure we are all here understand that, especially with the complete paragraphs above, the "affiliate" being mentioned here simply refer to "referral earning" [which the purpose of it already nicely explained by
FatFork] instead of "affiliate" in the sense of being a subsidiary or having an official attachment to a platform?
Regarding the list, I am not joking when I said I am swamped, thank you for that link, I'll glance at it once I've freed some space from my plate. And since that's about Cloudbet [while this thread is for CG] and I see that you have another thread about cloudbet --which I also haven't read-- I'll probably move this discussion there
The only distinction in the screenshot you've shared is that they explicitly mention you can't 'buy' the top position among recommended casinos. Naturally, ofcourse that would be the case otherwise it would undermine and expose their entire Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) operation.
While they can't openly 'buy' their position, it doesn't mean that Casino Guru doesn't operate in a manner that indirectly protects high-traffic and revenue-generating referral links. In my view, it involves selectively handling certain complaints and reviews to maintain a balanced casino profile, including those like Cloudbet
You can try to reframe the 'affiliate' arrangement any way you want, but it doesn't change the fact that they are essentially on casinos' payrolls through referral links. This was a point you seemed uncertain about just a few posts ago, yet I've been highlighting it from the beginning.
