Read the blocked casinos file for SpinagoCopy the company and licence number from the casino's terms and look them up on the regulator's own website, not through the footer badge.
Screenshots, transaction IDs and dates decide disputes. Never send another deposit just to unlock a withdrawal.
The worst online casinos for a player are the ones that can no longer pay: sites that have closed, domains that now belong to someone else, licences that do not appear on the regulator’s register, and brands blocked in the country you live in. Worst Casino Reviews tracks them with dated evidence. In October 2026 our avoid list holds 73 closed or inactive brands, plus the most-blocked names on Australia’s official list.
We do not rank casinos by how much we dislike them. Every entry says what we found, where we found it and on which date, so you can check it yourself. The case files above are a quick way in; the sections below explain what each kind of problem means for your money and how to test any casino in about five minutes.
A casino earns a place on our list when a dated check shows one of four problems: it has closed, its website no longer works, its licence cannot be found on the regulator’s register, or a regulator has blocked or sanctioned it where you live. Bad reviews, slow chat or high wagering alone do not put a brand on the list.
| Problem | What we look for | Where to read more |
|---|---|---|
| Closed | A closure notice, a domain for sale, or a different website on the address | Closed casinos |
| Website no longer active | No DNS record, a parked page, or no response on two dates | The avoid list |
| Licence not found or invalid seal | The licence missing from the register, or a seal that does not validate for that domain | Unlicensed casinos |
| Blocked or sanctioned | A regulator list or decision naming the domain or company, with its date | Blocked casinos |
Of the 73 brands on the list today, 45 are closed and 28 have no working website. The Australian table adds brands that are still trading elsewhere but appear on ACMA’s blocked list, which matters only if you are in Australia. Each status is a fact about one date, not a verdict on the people behind the brand.
Five minutes is enough to rule out most problem casinos. Find the company that runs the site, look up its licence on the regulator’s own website, click the seal and read the address it opens, then read the withdrawal clause. If any of the four fails, stop before you deposit and look at the casino more closely.
For a fuller version with twelve checks and a scoring table, use our guide on how to spot a rogue casino. It is the same checklist we apply before a brand appears anywhere on this site.
Several red flags are visible on a casino’s own pages before you register. None proves anything alone, but each is cheap to notice and each has preceded problems on brands now on our list. If you see two or more, treat the casino as a risk and run the full checks before you send money.
The regulator of your own country matters most, because its rules decide which casinos may serve you and which protections you keep. An offshore licence can be real and still not cover your market. The table shows the regulators we check against and the public list each one offers, so you can look a casino up yourself.
| Where you live | Regulator | What you can check |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | ACMA | The list of blocked gambling websites |
| Netherlands | Kansspelautoriteit | Licence holders and published sanction decisions |
| Sweden | Spelinspektionen | Licence register and bans on unlicensed companies |
| Germany | GGL | The official whitelist of permitted operators |
| Great Britain | Gambling Commission | The public register of licensees and their domains |
| Elsewhere | The licensing body the casino names | Its register, for example the MGA, the CGA or Anjouan |
If your country has no licensing regime of its own, the casino’s offshore licence is the only supervision there is. That makes the register check, the seal check and the complaint route the three things to confirm before anything else.
For players who want to know whether a casino is still trading and properly licensed before they deposit, and for anyone already stuck with a balance at a site that has stopped answering. It is also for friends and family helping someone check a casino. We write in plain English, we date everything, and we show our sources so you never have to take our word for it. If something on a page looks wrong to you, tell us.
Because the casino market turns over quickly and old reviews do not. Brands close after losing payment partners, leave markets after regulator action, merge into sister sites or are wound up by platform providers. Their reviews, bonus pages and forum links stay online for years, and many of their domains are bought by new owners who want the traffic.
Our own audit shows the scale. When we checked every casino reviewed across our review network in October 2026, 73 brands no longer ran a casino at the address in the review. Some posted clear notices; many simply vanished from DNS; a large group now host comparison sites that still carry the old name in their titles. That is why every row on our list names the exact domain, not only the brand.
Not by itself. A closure tells you the casino stopped trading, not why, and many close for ordinary business reasons. We call an operator a scam or a fraud only when a regulator or court has said so, and then we quote and link the decision. For a player the practical question is simpler: can this site pay you today?
The same caution applies to regulator blocks. A block by Australia’s ACMA or a fine from the Dutch Kansspelautoriteit applies to the market that regulator covers. It is a decisive warning for players in that country and a reason for others to look closely, but it is not a worldwide ruling. Our pages always name the regulator, the territory and the date.
Act in this order: stop depositing, try to withdraw what is left, and save evidence. Screenshot the balance and cashier, keep transaction IDs, and save the terms page with the operator’s name. Then write a formal complaint to the company and, if there is no answer, take it to the dispute body its licence names.
The status tells you which route is still open. A closed casino with a named company can still be asked to pay, through its complaints process and its dispute body. With a dead domain and no company name, only your payment provider is left. Blocked casinos may still pay, but outside your country’s protections. If the licence is invalid, there is no regulator behind the terms at all, and any promise in them is only as good as the company’s goodwill.
| Status | Can you still claim? | Best first step |
|---|---|---|
| Closed, company known | Usually, from the company | Written claim to the operator named in the terms |
| Website no longer active | Hard; depends on finding the company | Find the operator in an archived copy of the terms |
| Blocked in your country | Possibly, but without local protections | Withdraw the balance and stop depositing |
| Licence not found | Only through your payment provider or a court | Contact your card issuer within its time limit |
Through primary evidence that anyone can check. Official sources come first: regulator registers, block lists and decisions. The casino’s own website comes second: closure notices, terms, seals. Player reports are leads that tell us where to look; they never become a finding on their own. Every case carries the date it was checked, and every month we test the whole list again.
| Evidence | How we use it |
|---|---|
| Regulator registers and lists | Licence status, blocks and sanctions, with the register date |
| Regulator decisions | Company, domains named, decision number and date |
| The casino’s own domain | Closure notices, terms, seals, DNS and HTTPS results |
| Archived copies and domain records | Who ran the site before, and when the domain changed |
| Reader reports | Leads to check; never published as findings on their own |
Our method page defines each status, and the status log records every change with its date and reason. If you run a casino on our list and the facts have changed, the editorial policy explains how to send evidence and how quickly we respond.
A few. For readers outside the US, the UK and Australia, we keep one small page of alternatives that passed our checks, with every limitation disclosed: who runs them, their offshore licence, their withdrawal caps and the countries they exclude. We may be paid when readers sign up there, and that page is the only one on the site with commercial links.
If you are trying to stop gambling, please skip it. Offshore casinos ignore national self-exclusion schemes, so the tools that work are blocking apps and a gambling block on your bank card, explained in our self-exclusion guide. Free, confidential help is listed on the responsible gambling page.
The ones that can no longer pay you: casinos that have closed, lost their website, cannot show a licence on the regulator register, or are blocked where you live. Our avoid list names each brand, its domain, the evidence and the date we checked it.
A brand is listed only after a dated check finds a closure notice, a sold or dead domain, a licence missing from the register, or a regulator block or sanction. Player complaints point us to brands to check but are never enough on their own.
No. A missing name is not an endorsement. Our list covers brands we have checked ourselves. Run the five-minute check on any casino before you deposit, and look up its licence on the regulator website.
Only when a regulator or court has said so, in which case we quote and link the decision. Otherwise we describe what we found, such as closed or licence not found on the register on a given date.
Every listed domain is re-tested at least once a month, and every change is recorded with its date and reason in our status log. The current list reflects checks made on 12 and 15 October 2026.
