Casinos we don't recommend

These brands were removed from every Casinofy recommendation list. Each entry documents why — unresolved non-payment complaints, regulator action, rogue relaunches or an exit scam — with dates and the watchdog sources we verified them against. We do not accept compensation from, or link out to, any casino on this page.

Still operating — we advise against playing here

CampeonBet

CampeonBet

Still operating — avoidOur score: 2.9/10

  • 18 unresolved player complaints, including confiscated winnings of €5,726 and C$4,250 and an ignored self-exclusion request.

  • Advertises an Anjouan (Comoros) licence ALSI-202502014-FI1 — a group licence shared with sister brand CampeonBet — alongside a Curaçao CGA licence; public records list the owner as Green Champions Leader SRL.

Closed, then quietly reopened rebranded as RokuBet; we rate it 2.8/10 (Very low) with blocked-account and delayed-withdrawal complaints on the public record.

Its operator drew the largest fine in Dutch gambling history (€24.85M, under objection) for illegally serving Dutch players, was banned from targeting Sweden, then deregistered its own company while the site kept operating.

  • Sweden's Spelinspektionen prohibited Novatech from targeting Swedish players on 11 March 2026, naming qbet.com among five domains.
  • On 11 March 2026 — the day after the fine was published — Novatech deregistered itself from the Curaçao Chamber of Commerce while its sites continued operating; the site now displays Canadian (Tobique) licensing instead.

  • Independent player-advocacy watchdogs list it as not recommended, citing player-unfriendly terms and an unresponsive Curaçao master-licence structure.

Closed with player harm on the record

These casinos no longer operate — but they closed owing players money, ignoring complaints, or after regulator action. If a site is using one of these names today, it is not the original casino: treat it as an impostor.

Ding Ding Ding

Ding Ding Ding

Closed · April 2025Our score: 1.5/10

Stopped paying sweeps redemptions in March–April 2025, was publicly blacklisted by industry watchdogs, faced a class action, then vanished — the dead domain now redirects to an offshore crypto casino.

  • Industry watchdogs publicly blacklisted the site on April 4, 2025, reporting it had stopped paying both partners and players.
  • A class action against the operator (Living Pixels Studio LLC) was filed in Napa County, California in early 2025.
  • The domain later went dark and now redirects some visitors to an offshore crypto casino — do not deposit anywhere a dingdingding.com link takes you.
Cresus Casino

Cresus Casino

Closed · October 2025Our score: 2.2/10

France's regulator ANJ ordered ISPs to block it (June 2024), citing numerous reports of unpaid winnings; French prosecutors later dismantled the operation, arresting two executives on illegal-gambling and money-laundering charges.

  • On 20 June 2024 the French regulator ANJ ordered internet providers to block cresuscasino.com, citing "numerous reports from people who do not receive their winnings" and warning of payment fraud and data-theft risk.
  • The operator dodged the block via mirror domains (cresus-casinos.com), triggering further ANJ blocking orders.
  • In October 2025 French prosecutors arrested two executives, charged with running illegal gambling as an organized gang and money laundering; investigators put revenue at roughly €1bn since 2020.
  • The site shut down for good around October 2025 with players cut off from accounts — ANJ has no power to force an offshore operator to refund balances.
Power Spins

Power Spins

Closed · Late 2021Our score: 3.2/10

Closed after the UK Gambling Commission suspended operator BGO Entertainment's licence (15 October 2021) over consumer-protection concerns; BGO surrendered the licence a week later — and the old domain is now an impostor site.

  • The UKGC suspended BGO Entertainment's operating licence on 15 October 2021, citing concerns including consumer-protection failures; the notice named powerspins.com among BGO's sites.

  • BGO had prior regulatory history: a £300,000 advertising penalty (2017) and a £2m regulatory settlement (2020) for social-responsibility and AML failures.
  • powerspins.co.uk today is an unrelated impostor posing as an "official" Power Spins casino — the real brand has been dead since 2021. Do not enter details there.
7Casino

7Casino

Closed · February 2022Our score: 3.2/10

A BGO Entertainment brand that died with the group: the UKGC suspended BGO's licence in October 2021 over consumer-protection concerns, the licences were surrendered, and 7Casino was recorded closed in February 2022.

  • Operated by BGO Entertainment, whose UKGC licence was suspended on 15 October 2021 and surrendered on 22 October 2021; the group's Alderney licence followed by year-end and all brands closed.
  • 7Casino was recorded closed in February 2022.

Doggo Casino

Doggo Casino

Closed · February 2024Our score: 3.5/10

Vanished in early 2024 with no notice to players or affiliates — portals delisted it for being unresponsive. No orderly wind-down, no announcement, just gone.

  • Doggo Casino was marked closed in February 2024; portals delisted it because the site stopped responding to players and affiliates with no warning or stated reason.
  • A Curaçao brand (R&B Innovations N.V.) — when such a casino goes silent there is no regulator to escalate to.
  • Fairness note: the public complaint record shows two sizeable pre-closure complaints were resolved with payouts; the failure here is the silent disappearance, not a documented pattern of theft.
Hejgo Casino

Hejgo Casino

Closed · November 2024Our score: 3.0/10

Closed November 2024; complaint platforms terminated its listing for being unresponsive, and players reported withheld deposits and dead-end support before the end.

StreamBetz

StreamBetz

Closed · January 2025Our score: 2.7/10

Blacklisted by industry watchdogs in August 2024 for unethical business practices; public complaint platforms terminated its listing as unresponsive; its owner group (Winzon) is blacklisted elsewhere for chronic payment delays.

  • Industry watchdogs blacklisted StreamBetz for unethical business practices and marked it closed in August 2024; the closure was recorded industry-wide by January 2025.
  • Complaint platforms terminated its listing as unresponsive.
  • A documented public complaint shows a player's self-exclusion failed to apply across Winzon sister sites — the casino claimed cross-brand self-exclusion was "technically impossible".

How a casino ends up on this list

We only blacklist a brand when the primary record supports it: unresolved player complaints our team has verified on public mediation platforms, formal regulator or court action, or documented non-payment. A low rating alone is not enough, and ending a commercial relationship never puts a casino here. If you have evidence a listed casino has made things right — or that another casino belongs here — contact us. See our rating methodologyfor how the scores work. You can also cross-check any casino's current offer and licensing data on our sister site check.casino, where listings are re-verified on a rolling schedule.
