All-in With Ozzy Osbourne Live At Metal Casino
All-in With Ozzy Osbourne Live At Metal Casino

Metal Casino - renowned betting site for hard rock fans and metal heads has recently announced increased marketing outreach with its newly appointed brand ambassador, Ozzy Osbourne. The mega influencer and legendary singer of Black Sabbath will be featured in several promotional videos and play various casino games while talking about famous musicians including Slash, Jimi Hendrix and Lemmy.

Starting February 26th, the exclusive campaign will be primarily concentrated on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. Since its launch in August 2017, the casino has been very successful worldwide, however, a boost of presence in the UK is the company’s new strategy, since Ozzy is a major influencer in the UK, primarily through his own channels.

As a reminder, Metal Casino travelled to Culver City, Los Angeles only a month ago to make some exclusive shots with Ozzy, including an extraordinary interview about Motörhead, Guns ’n’ Roses and iconic guitar player, Jimi Hendrix. In the video, Osbourne reminisces about his late friend Lemmy Kilmister, famous guitarist from Slash and the world’s most influential electric guitar player of all time, Johnny Allen Hendrix, better known as Jimi. The Prince of Darkness also presents the legendary Rainbow Room and uncovers taboo stories about The Beatles and his remarkable guitarists.

The show is only half-hour long and it will be divided into five episodes. Each social media channel will feature one of the episodes, so it’s important to like or follow the company’s page. Also important to mention is that Ozzy will be giving away signed prizes to lucky lottery winners!

Thanks to Ozzy’s professionalism and pure commitment, the casino will reach out to a larger number of music and gaming fans, according to chief marketing officer, Clas Dahlen. A combination of epic rock documentaries and elements of the casino will offer a unique show which will probably go viral, adds Dahlen.

Equally important are brand’s top hard rock stars and future influencers, Scott Ian from Anthrax, David Ellefson (Megadeth) and Lord Ahriman – renowned Swedish musician and composer (Dark Funeral). Staying true, relevant and dedicated is the company’s main mission, so keep on bangin’ and don’t forget to watch this unique masterpiece.

2WinPower Returns: Beware of Fake Slots
2WinPower Returns: Beware of Fake Slots

Remember 2WinPower? Members who follow LCB rogue reports know all about this infamous company. Providers of pirated software, they've been banished from the industry once before, by the joint effort of LCB and Aristocrat Gaming. Though the online community was ecstatic to see them gone and their criminal business closed, we had a feeling that wasn't the last we'll see from 2WinPower. Sure enough, they are back! Not to be confused - this is not a casino! They are a third party supplier of fake, turnkey gaming products including counterfeits of Novomatic, Net Entertainment, Realtime Gaming, EGT and Aristocrat video slots.

Considering they've shown great tenacity and fought tooth and nail to keep their piracy network alive and well, it is not at all surprising to see the company reemerging on a wholly different domain: https://2wpower.com/. We first encountered their fake games in 2016, when investigating two very suspicious casinos: BetsTower and BetMaxValue. To our dismay, we realized this was a large and complicated network involving at least one other company: Desoft Gaming. One shocking fact after another, not only was their entire offering falsified, but they advertised openly via an official website and social channels, apparently undaunted by legal repercussions for plagiarism.

Thinking themselves untouchable (and why wouldn't they, when so little has been done to prevent such frauds), they were shocked to realize they've been busted when LCB exposed their products on another client brand, Burnbet Casino, in 2017. A struggle ensued when employees and associates of 2WinPower and Desoft Gaming started pestering our team via emails and official LCB channels, in a futile attempt of damage control, resorting even to death threats. We, of course, never thought of removing any evidence of their illegal trade from our portal.

After contacting Aristocrat representatives, together we forced the piracy network to remove the falsified versions of the popular provider's software from their website in August 2017. Victory achieved! Having no genuine games of their own, we had hoped it would damage their business enough to shut down eventually.

As faith would have it, they have returned and it means we must again be very cautious not to fall for their fakes. No doubt they will instruct clients to conceal the origin of supplied slots as much as possible. Previously, it was possible to spot some of their games thanks to a loader with the 2WinPower logo, without having to inspect source codes or other details. There's no telling how this might have changed. We will keep our eyes open for any sign of the all too familiar foul play, but for now, let's stay away from the above-mentioned sites. Keep up with LCB Rogue reports for new information regarding this criminal network!

Coming Atlantic City casino promising plethora of live music

Ahead of its planned opening in the summer, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City has reportedly revealed that its first year in business will see it host in excess of 200 nights of live music spread across a wide range of genres. According to a Sunday report from the Associated Press news service printed by The Washington Post newspaper, the New Jersey casino is in the process of adding a further 1,800 seats to its Mark G Etess Arena in order to take the venue’s total seating capacity up to 7,000 and it intends to utilize this large space as well as more intimate areas for its future musical offerings. Formerly called the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort until its closure in 2016 amid a labor dispute between the local chapter of the UNITE HERE trade union and billionaire property developer Carl Icahn, the 2,000-room Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City is now owned by an entity known as Boardwalk 1000. The new proprietor consists of American casino operator Hard Rock International alongside private investors Joe Jingoli and Jack Morris while an enterprise known as HR Atlantic City is due to run all of the Atlantic City venue’s gambling facilities. Jim Allen, Chairman for Hard Rock International, reportedly told an audience that had assembled at the New Shiloh Baptist Church and Community Center last week that the re-branded Boardwalk casino is to feature more live music events than the Boardwalk city has ever seen while also noting that he only recently inked a deal that will see Beyonce and Jay-Z perform at the Hard Rock Stadium near Miami. “When’s the first time someone has done 200 shows in Atlantic City,” Allen reportedly asked last week’s assembled crowd. “When’s the last time you saw entertainment on a night other than Saturday in Atlantic City? We’re going to make that commitment.” By contrast, the Associated Press reported that Atlantic City’s 15,000-seat Boardwalk Hall venue hosted only eleven big-name concerts throughout the whole of 2017 while it described the musical offerings from the area’s existing casinos as ‘varying widely’ with most limited to weekends. “Bringing entertainment into the city mid-week at off-peak times will be a particularly persuasive reason for visitors to consider extending their stay,” Rummy Pandit, Executive Director of the Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism at nearby Stockton University, reportedly told the news service. “Turning a two-night weekend stay into a long weekend or mid-week getaway can make a huge difference for Atlantic City’s lodging, food and beverage, retail, gaming and tourism businesses.”

Casinos In the Spotlight: Best of 2017
Casinos In the Spotlight: Best of 2017

After another successful year, we look back at memorable events and noteworthy brands that made us happy and proud to be part of the gaming community in 2017. Having summarized the performances of inferior casinos, along with their adverse effects in the past 12 months, it is time to move these unpleasantries aside and give credit to whom credit is due - to all the great operators who made a commendable effort to achieve and maintain high-quality services. This is not a small group, mind you. Distinguished brands were numerous and we hope their number signalizes a new direction in the growth and development of the iGaming industry, where we can show that honesty, integrity and professionalism are very much present in this unique field of entertainment.

USA Brands Going Strong

As one of LCB's oldest most reliable partners, Slotland did not disappoint, and continued in the same manner that has made many of our members happy throughout the years. Jack the rep repsresented the casino admirably, and did a fantastic job managing exclusive deals. Boasting a high 4.5 stars rating and over 270, mostly positive, player comments, what they're especially good at are bonuses: the cashback offer alone is a testament to the quality of this operator, it has been active and immensely popular since 2012!

''Slotland is one casino I have played at for years. They are very honest and a quick paying casino. Their games are their own and one of the best in my opinion. Pay out if you pay the top bid can be very high. Most games have progressive payout for top hit. Slotland large payout are a little slim compared to other top casinos. I still would suggest you try this casino. Good game and really fun.''

Sister sites Red Stag and Sloto'Cash reaffirmed strong positions in the LCB list with treats of their own. Thanks to these great brands, LCB'ers enjoy exclusive freeroll slot tournaments, playing for high prizes on the great WSG games, and a quick and efficient customer service both from the official rep and on-site support agents.

''I love Red Stag Casino. The games re fun and so are the tournaments. They have penny tournaments! The customer service staff is very friendly. I love WGS software. I love I can play at Red Stag in mobile version too.''

Held in high regard, the US-friendly Liberty Slots left a lasting impression on our members with a series of amazing tournaments, hosted every month exclusively for players from LCB. There are few WGS-powered casinos, but this former English Harbor site gives a good name to this small group.

''I love this casino along with the other handful of WGS casinos. Liberty slots has some of the best customer support team around. They have very fast payouts and it is all so simple to make deposits. I love there tournaments and how they are ran as well. This is my go to casino.''

Ignition and Casino Extreme do not need a special introduction - they are well known to American gamblers, who uniformly praise timely payments, fast and reliable support, and overal good quality services and games.

Let's see what we thought of the good old Intertops Classic, a trusted site and a highpoint of online gaming in the region and beyond:

'Intertops is by far my favorite online casino. Absolutely the quickest payout I have had from any online casino. Their live chat is 2nd to none and I have yet to wait longer than 60 seconds before I am greeted and questions answered through the live chat service. I would recommend this casino to anyone and everyone as it has been my best online casino experience by leaps and bounds''

Welcoming the Future with Bitcoin

Cryptocurrencies made a boom in the gambling industry and paved way to faster, safer and anonymous transactions, just the thing we desired. Having in mind the advantages of digital money and the possibilities this new way of banking has in our field of entertainment, casinos that have embraced Bitcoin as the most popular and globally used crytpocurrency, deserve an Honorable mention and a place on this list:

Oshi Casino Wild Tornado Bitstarz Gunsbet Joo Casino Luckystar.io

If you're looking for the best bonuses around, contemporary look and fair games, go with Oshi; interesting slot combat tournaments, wide selection of games and promotions topped off with an elaborate VIP program are among the attractive features of Wild Tornado; one of the most successful casinos operating on the SoftSwiss platform, Bitstarz stays on top as an all-around dependable site that keeps a high standard in every respect; Gunsbet is the force of innovation, continually improving the platform and its many gaming options. Lucky Star is a proud bearer of LCB Seal of Approval - this means they are more than able to compete for the best Bitcoin-friendly site of 2017. Joo Casino is on good terms with players and affiliates alike, their grand compilation of slots is a sight to see for every fan of the fast-spinning reels.

Casinos We can Count On

In the gaming world, there are good and there are bad guys, but than there are those who represent a standard. Always consistent and reliable, these operators never failed our expectations. Players are fortunate to have brands they can count on to deliver top software, fair terms of service, multiple payment options, meaningful incentives and finally, timely cash-outs to all lucky winners.

An experienced operator, Mr Green launched in 2007 and has stayed with us ever since, offering a large platform, popular bonuses and close-to-instant withdrawals to UK markets and the rest of Europe.

''Trustworthy casino, first casino where I have cashed out bigger sum. No problems ever with MrGreen.''

32 Red is a veteran of gambling, a massive website dating back to 2002, with loyal players and great ratings across the industry. Their ''trophy cabinet'' is filled with accolades awarded by eminent industry experts.

A pioneer of player-friendly tools and features automatically preventing misuse of bonuses and games, SlotsMillion is at the forefront of groundbreaking gameplay systems with Max Bet, Withdrawal Lock and Table Bet features!

''Another Casino to add to my favorites: Only really active since recent, but i must say their list of Games is simply amazing. As a veteran gambler, and one that has also worked as slot reviewer, i was amazed by the amount of Games that i still hadn't tired :) A lot of providers you'll find almost nowhere else, at least not in that volume, or together with other cool providers, and that alone makes this Casino worthwhile in my opinion. Also very good support, and great bonuses, from what i've seen. so far: there are fixed match ups on a few days of the week, or free Spins on deposit, and i've been getting a few decent offers aside from those too. I only deposited a few 100, but still received a generous comp without asking!''

Launched by the established Fortune Lounge group, Royal Vegas stands proud with certified software, multitudes of banking options, and a long history of rock-solid business moves.

Casino Adrenaline, founded in 2014, tells us loud and clear why the site should be the top choice of every aspiring punter: wins are credited fair and square, funds and data are kept safe by strong encryption protocols, support is at your disposal every minute of every day.

''I like this casino they have a wide range of games. verification is slow takes up to 72h. but when you are verified they have Fast withdrawal. Live support is helpful and overall an excellent casino. I recommend this casino.''

Retro on the outside, next-gen on the inside, Golden Euro combines best of both worlds pursuing a simple goal: customer satisfaction. Over 300 LCB'ers voted for an average rating of 4.2 stars. Support services and bonus program are deemed are considered the best among RTG powered brands.

''This is the rare case when a casino from an RTG provider is excellent! The minimum deposit is only 5 euros and the minimum withdrawal is 10 euros! I have never seen anything like this in RTG. There is a bonus without a deposit for registration of 15 euros. Excellent casino!''

Original and Inventive

Kudos to GreenZorro, a 2017 arrival daring to be different. Not everyone is comfortable with changes, but gamblers benefit when the mold is broken. Debuting a system of investment returns, allowing players to recoup losses through investing in a variety of products. Never thought we'd hear the words interest earning and gambling in the same sentence!

Best Newcomer of 2017

Stakes is new, bu they're advancing quickly beating competition left and right. First impressions count, and what we saw was a capable operator with a clear goal and the means to achieve it. Players liked the smooth performance of the platform, games, design and friendly support, but most of all the free bonus awarded on sign up! We'd like to see higher cash-out limits, but we're optimistic improvements are in the pipeline for this promising brand.

Risen out of the Shadows

Active since 2006, Superior Casino finally decided to live up to their name, making a series of noteworthy and much-needed changes to multiple aspects of the platform. LCB'ers were pleasantly surprised seeing numerous and varied bonus offers and engaging tournaments. Adding Bitcoin payments opened doors for new members, and improving the tangible aspects of customer support was among the most significant changes.

''Definitely the best place if you want frequent bonuses, new slots are getting promotions most of the time!They also do btc transactions so thats a plus.''

It's Been a Good Year!

Looks like positive events were the dominant force of 2017. Good guys were in the lead and there were very few disappointments. Big changes are in the works for legal, technological and, yes, ethical aspects of the iGaming world. These great brands are the harbingers of better times to come for our growing community!

Bitcoin and Litecoin Vouchers Added to the Shop
Bitcoin and Litecoin Vouchers Added to the Shop

We have great news for all our cryptocurrency-loving members. As Bitcoin transaction fees hit an all time low in February 2018, Bitcoin voucher makes a comeback to the Shop! This time, the most popular digital form of money is not the only such item to redeem - we also added Litecoin, an alternative peer-to-peer currency sharing many of its technical features.

When the increased demand and volatility of the value of Bitcoin led to insufferably high transaction fees in 2017, we were regretfully forced to suspend the item, which was at that time among the most popular Shop perks. Back then, the network couldn't cope with the growing demand for the currency, causing fees to skyrocket, which meant the cost of sending and receiving small payments was much too high. But now that the fees are once again reaching acceptable values, the time is right to reintroduce these highly requested items.

Both vouchers function as cash items, and will be sent straight to your digital wallets. Once you have accumulated $25 by contributing to the LCB community, the chips will be available to claim and use at gaming sites that accept cryptocurrency deposits. Nowadays, there are many reputable brands with excellent software and features to choose from - take a look at our list of Bitcoin-friendly casinos and LiteCoin friendly casinos, and pick the one best suited to your needs. 

Our Shop is a way to give back to our members for their continued loyalty and dedication to the gaming community. Your posts, comments and ratings of casinos and games result in LCB virtual cash awarded to you at a rate which depends on your current status. Every action counts and will get you closer to claiming any of the Shop's many free gifts. Good luck!

SoftSwiss Invests Millions into In-House Rebrand
SoftSwiss Invests Millions into In-House Rebrand

We’ve got some big news regarding online casino software developer, SoftSwiss. The brand kicked off the New Year with the following phrase, “Transforming gambling into gaming.” In an effort to bring this new motto to life, the company invested millions into reinventing its selection of in-house games, which now go by, BGAMING. Part of the process also included bringing in individuals with great experience in the iGaming industry. BGAMING is not an entirely new concept. In fact, the trademarked moniker is affiliated with a well-known library of games, and more recently, a slew of new titles introduced at this year’s ICE Totally Gaming event, held earlier this month in London. The selection of in-house games is now home to titles like, Aztec Magic Deluxe, and Platinum Lightning Deluxe, which are live for real money wagers at online casinos, BitStarz, King Billy and Playamo.

CEO, Ivan Montik, commented, “We are lucky to welcome one of the really best talents in the industry. This makes our game studio truly international and we will invest heavily into it. The new members have been hard at work polishing the game portfolio to bring it on par with the most modern game content available today.”

The portfolio is equipped with the renowned Provably Fair feature, along with impressive animations and modern graphics. To make matters even better, it identifies as a crypto-friendly provider, with Bitcoin play supported, in addition to several altcoins.

A unified API can be utilized for smooth integration across operators using alternative platforms. Audiences can look forward to more poplar games to make an appearance within BGAMING sometime later this year, so keep an eye out!

Lucky Dragon hotel open for business until March 27; judge decides

A Nevada bankruptcy judge ruled Wednesday that the hotel of the Asian-themed Lucky Dragon resort off the north end of the Las Vegas Strip will remain open for another month. U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada Judge Laurel Davis decided after a bankruptcy hearing for the Lucky Dragon Hotel and Casino that the hotel would remain open until March 27, when the next hearing will take place. The casino, however, will remain closed and there will not be a foreclosure auction, the judge ruled, according to local television station FOX5. The resort’s operating entity Lucky Dragon Hotel and Casino LLC on Friday, Feb. 16 reportedly filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection ahead of today's scheduled foreclosure. The property had a brutal start when just a few months after opening, in order to cut operating costs, one of its restaurants was closed and about a hundred people including the general manager were fired, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal at the time. The temporarily closing of all gaming and casino restaurant operations on January 4 further emphasized the then one-year-old Asian-themed boutique hotel and locals casino’s financial woes. At the time, the resort’s management reportedly told FOX5 that the casino was “reorganizing,” and that the temporary closure meant the laying off of casino workers and less gaming and dining options. A few weeks later in January the Lucky Dragon was served with a foreclosure notice. FOX5 reports that during the bankruptcy hearing, attorneys for Lucky Dragon reportedly said that in November the property had been appraised at $143 million, however creditors stated that it was appraised at $60 million. Without disclosing specifics, lawyers for the hotel also reportedly said that should the Sahara Ave property become available for sale, there are a number of potential buyers. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on Monday that according to bankruptcy papers, Lucky Dragon was appraised at $143 million, which was funded in part with $89.5 million worth of loans from 179 individuals who invested $500,000 each through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) administered EB-5 visa program. Under the program, foreigners seeking permanent green cards can do so if they invest a minimum of $500,000 into a business venture that creates at least 10 full-time jobs. FOX5 reports that none of the attorneys were certain of how the immigration status of those individuals. Five years in the making from concept to ribbon-cutting, Lucky Dragon had a soft opening on November 19, 2016, and hosted its official grand opening on December 3, 2016.

Viktor Blom wins 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany Main Event

Another partypoker LIVE MILLIONS stop is in the books, with the Main Event of the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany having come to an end. It was poker pro Viktor Blom who emerged the victor, defeating Pavel Plesuv to earn the first-place win. The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany series stop was hosted by King's Casino Rosvadov, with several tournaments on offer. Only thirteen players would return for the final day of play and of that number, only eight would move on to the final table.  Blom would start the final table with an elimination after Niko Wieland went all-in with Q-J off-suit. Blom called with pocket aces, sending Wieland out the door when the board fell 2-J-6-9-K. A few more players would be eliminated before Blom would take down his second victim of the final table. Going up against partypoker’s Simao, Blom would call the poker player’s all-in and would put him out in 4th place, narrowing down the table to the final three. Once Rickie Silcock was eliminated in third place by Plesuv, it would leave the event in the heads-up competition round. The heads-up portion would be one to remember. Plesuv would hold the lead initially and gaining a 9 to 1 chip lead at one point during gameplay. However, Blom would chip his way back to the lead and the eventual win. On the final hand, Blom pushed for 35,000,000 and Plesuv called. A check-call was made by Plesuv on the flop of Q-9-K with the 45,000,000 bet of Blom. Plesuv would eventually go all-in and Blom would call with K-6. His king’s held up as Plesuv only had a Q-7 of diamonds, not enough to claim the first place win. The MILLIONS poker tour now moves on with the Grand Final in Barcelona set for this April. Satellites are available for the tour stop now at partypoker. Players who take part in the Grand Final will find the series will be offering a staggering €23 million in guaranteed prize pools spread out among the many events of the series. Final Results:

Rogue in 2017: Casinos Gone Bad
Rogue in 2017: Casinos Gone Bad

As the conflict against corrupted casinos rages on, we are still elbows deep in the trenches trying to hold them off. This has become our crusade - the LCB team went into the fight guns blazing, and we don't intend to stop! Online gambling industry has been in a particularly confusing and difficult legal situation, where insufficient laws and regulations make it possible for rogue brands to exploit, cheat and steal from players. There is no adequate system to punish them and offer justice to disadvantaged parties; they are rarely if ever, penalized for their misconducts, and they grow bolder every day.

We can't yet rely on the law to protect us, but that doesn't mean we should resign ourselves to this faith and do nothing. One very efficient way to make a difference is to expose rogue casinos to the gambling community. Inform as many players as possible who these criminals are, how they operate, and how to recognize them. Protecting players is LCB's main priority, and our continued commitment to this mission has yielded excellent results over the years.

Now that 2017 has ended, it is time for the yearly roundup of warning reports and rogue investigations we've done in the past twelve months.

Hmm...Do These Terms Sound Strange to You?

If you're not reading casino terms and conditions before signing up, you're making a big mistake! Would you buy any product without checking if it works first? No? It's no different with gaming sites. T&C is a contract customers must agree to use the services. They are written in a tricky legal language no one likes to read, which is an ideal opportunity for bad sites to squeeze in some very shady or ambiguous rules to trick naive players into their own doom.

Mr Ringo has never been a particularly good site, but they took it too far with outrageous terms pertaining to withdrawals and bonuses. Multiple complaints revealed delayed payments, voided winnings, prohibitions of legitimate gambling strategies, transaction fees and a host of other issues, all designed to prevent players from cashing out rightfully earned money. Shortly after an LCB warning report was published, the operator's license was suspended, and they stopped accepting new sign-ups. At this moment, their website is not functional, but our report stays up for posterity.

Enzo Casino is guilty of the same misdeed: using overly confusing promotional terms, they confiscated over €14,000 from an LCB member!

''I have not broken any rules and I feel like I am being cheated out of my money '', is what Slotkampioen777 told us in the official complaint thread. He was right - we proved it in the Enzo rogue report.

Von Bets voided a €1000 win due to, what they conveniently call an ''unfair advantage'', caused by a supposed odds technical error. As we proved HERE, the punter played fair and got the short end of the stick for it. A word from Melcb, our marketing manager:

'' We have added a warning to Vonbets for poor customer support, lack of response from a representative and slow/delayed payment. I suggest that all members stay away from this brand until further notice.''

Doing everything in their power to put an end to lucky wins, GoWild made a mistake - they forgot LCB sees through their charade! After exposing the operator's unfair terms, they were shipped off straight to the Warning list.

Member Nirvana shared his opinion: ''super predatory terms, whom ever advised them of such terms is either clueless or shady as hell''.

Sister brands to GoWild, Astral Bet and Wild Jackpots enforce the same dubious policy regarding promotional offers. Dishonest wagering rules and restrictions, deposit and withdrawal fees and long cash-outs don't make a good casino! LCB'ers were equally appalled:

''That is obsurd I thought I seen it all I think now I have :( just keep it simple make a long story short there terms should just say PROMOTIONAL/BONUS ISNT BUILT FOR PLAYERS TO WIN!!!!''

Magical Spin attempted the same cheating formula, using the myth of the harmful Martingale to their advantage, and punishing players who win fair and square claiming ''unfair advantage'' - a serious accusation they were never able to prove to them or us. Off in the sin bin they went.

Guilty of Software Piracy

Another way criminal groups often cheat for profit is silently integrating fake games. Slots are the easiest products to falsify, and you'd be surprised how good these forgeries can really be. Sometimes it is next to impossible spotting the original from the fake - if everything else about the site is in order, no one would be the wiser. Not to worry, we have a special investigative team to nail clever pirates!

1xbit.com was the first such site to bite the dust in 2017. Looking closely into source codes and inspecting hosting servers, we presented undisputed evidence their Novomatic, Aristocrat and Net Entertainment games are as fake as a 3 dollar bill. In the comment section of the warning report, player feedback solidified our opinion about this brand:

''I've already posted on their BCT thread about this, but they have failed to reply to it. It's been over three weeks with no response, so I can safely say that if you had any shred of doubt, it should be gone.''

A warning sign was also delivered to unlicensed, Bitcoin-friendly Vegascasino.io, whose fake games were discovered thanks to the Book of Ra slot inconsistencies. They promptly removed the culprit, but it was already too late. Our readership was notified in a detailed article, substantiated by screenshots taken during the inquiry. Customers got back to us distraught about the way this casino treated them:

''This is an update and LBC is 100% correct.You need to be VERY careful.They are NOT licensed, and now? I have been taken off vip!? Even though I have enough deposits! This is very upsetting and I am closing my account!''

Burnbet might just be the worst brand of the previous year! We don't usually receive any feedback from busted sites, as they prefer to stay silent even when confronted with proof of their misconduct. But this site retaliated and how! What ensued was a sordid affair with the management sending out death threats to LCB team. Reporting about the case, we received over 80 comments from supportive members:

''Wow! Sounds like burnbet is the very definition of rogue! The name "burnbet" itself says it all Lol! Whoever is behind those pathetic attempts to intimidate you, is wasting their time! Thanks for looking out for us LCB you guys rock! We got your back! :)''

Following the disclosure, we contacted original providers of the fake slots found at Burnbet, offering all evidence gathered throughout the course of our investigations. The rogue operator was finally forced to remove phony software thanks to LCB!

Other operators who resorted to ripping off honest iGaming developers, particularly Novomatic and NetEnt, are Cstarscasino.com, Winner Million, Casino Venetian, 24 Pokies and Matrix. Follow the links to find out more details on each of these piracy reports.

Unlike their fellow rogue sites, Hera Casino chose to falsify Yggdrasil and Pragmatic Play software. Several of our clever and informed members noticed the games behaving strangely, thinking they might be fake. They were right!

''I love how LCB is consistently unmasking these pirated and rogue casinos, excellent job well done. By the sounds of this one, a thanks should go to several LCBers for voicing their concerns about this online casino from the get go, thanks to all of you for a keen eye and listening to your gut feeling on this sham, great job to all of you''

The major disappointment of the year 2017 came from Welcome Partners casino brands. A large network serving Eastern European markets, the operate over 12 gaming and sports betting sites, all without a license and offering fake products. They even went so far as to steal trademark names from reputable companies, and create their own slots by mixing graphics and mechanics of original titles with pirate programming. Russian and Ukrainian member beware!

''Its amazing what you all do for the online gaming community. I have so many friends against online casinos, who warn me to stay away from ANY online casino. You guys make something that I love doing more enjoyable and give me a sense of relief. I'm so happy to be apart of this awesome community of players and LCB staff and investigators, you rock!''

Welcome Partners brands to avoid:

Club Vulkan Vulkan24Club VulkanStavka GMSDeluxe PharaonBet MaxBetSlots VulkanStars SlotoZal VDeluxe JoyKasino Admiral777 ElDorado24 Who Failed our Expectations

Once reputable casino boasting LCB's Seal of Approval, Raging Bull hit rock bottom in February 2017, after being sold to an infamous black market organization - Virtual Casino Group. Though no one knew what happened behind closed doors, players sensed something sinister is going on when the site suddenly started denying or delaying cash-out requests, and support aloof to any and all questions. We'd love nothing more than to give you some hope, but unfortunately, nothing good ever came out of VC Group and GWages affiliate program.

''I can't believe all of that happened. I noticed it going downhill myself when I started having trouble with getting replies to my emails, seeing less and less free and deposit bonuses being offered, etc. I used to deposit on Raging Bull every week practically, especially after they first opened up and stopped when I saw a decline coming. I didn't want to have any issues with a withdrawal if it happened. I posted some comments about it when I saw the decline to my friends. It really is quite a shame as there were a lot of really nice people that worked there and went at one time out of their way to make the customer happy. Too bad for them''

Wrapping Up

Another year goes by and LCB is still at the helm reporting about the bad guys of the industry. Rogue casinos come and go, but we are always here to keep the gaming community safe! If only every player would come to us and take a careful look at the list of predatory sites, our Complaint board would be much less crowded. Likewise, we encourage everyone to read casino T&C and report any suspicious activity to our team. Let's hope for a great, productive and stress-free 2018!
