    if someone is creating a new standard for banking sites

    Not part of the discussion. You are straining pretty hard in your efforts to “win”.

    And online casinos don’t include fake online casinos.

    Yes, they do. The clue is in the name.

      I am making an example to prove a point. The point is simple “industry” doesn’t contain the scammers who try to abuse it.

      Yes, they do. The clue is in the name.

      Genius take!

      Answer the question, though. I repost it for your own convenience. We clear out all the bullshit semantic you brought up, and go straight to the point:


      Let’s pretend you actually believe your bs, and let’s make a distinction:

      Online casinos = established businesses in the casino industry, operating with at least a license.
      Fake casinos = scam websites that operate without a license and which spoof an online casino with the purpose of scamming users (in whatever way).
      

      To which ones do you think your initial answer applies:

      They run rigged games in predatory ways. They happily let organised crime launder money for a cut. They fight regulations designed to reduce problem gambling.
      

      ?

      • Do you think that online casinos as defined above run rigged games?
      • Do you think they help laundering money?

        The point is simple “industry” doesn’t contain the scammers who try to abuse it.

        It does. To illustrate this I linked to a bank website containing advice on combating phishing.

        Here’s the definition I’m happy with.

        Legitimate casinos = established businesses in the casino industry

        Fake casinos = scammers

        Online casinos = legitimate casinos + fake casinos

        Combined because users find it hard to tell the difference.

          Answer the question, your definition doesn’t add much.

          To which ones does your initial answer apply? Both legitimate and fake casinos?

          It’s not a hard question.

          P.s. I bet you wouldn’t be able to show me a fake casino if I asked. That’s because they are not a common problem. You are overinflating it to make your absurd definition more reasonable. But let’s not get into this…

              So both legitimate and fake? In other words you believe that both legitimate and fake casinos rig games, both help laundering money and both fight against regulations?

              It’s a simple question, show a tiny bit of good faith :)

              P.s., have you read your own link?

              The blacklisting reasons have to do with scammy customer support, lack of license, stealing money. They don’t even mention rigging games or laundering money, which is what you claimed :)

                Your definition of “legitimate casino” excludes any casinos that rig games.

                All businesses with financial operations are exposed to money laundering to some degree.

                Regulations increase costs to implement. Only “legitimate casinos” fight them.

                  It’s YOUR definition ahahah I literally took what you said and I am asking a question.

                  YOU said, legitimate + fake = online. I asked to which you applied the answer and you said online. Now you are saying it doesn’t?

                  So, do we agree that legitimate casinos don’t rig games?

                  Also, you mentioned taking a cut to help laundering money, now you are retracting saying “are exposed”. No dude, taking a cut has intentionality behind, being exposed is a natural risk for any business which moves money. You claimed the first.

                  So, one last time:

                  • do legitimate casinos rig games?
                  • do legitimate casinos help laundering money?

                    It’s YOUR definition

                    Nope. It’s you who is obsessed with separation of “legitimate casinos”.

                    YOU said, legitimate + fake = online. I asked to which you applied the answer and you said online.

                    Correct

                    Now you are saying it doesn’t?

                    Incorrect.

                    So, do we agree that legitimate casinos don’t rig games?

                    You have defined legitimate casinos as ones that don’t rig games.

                    Also, you mentioned taking a cut to help laundering money,

                    Incorrect. I said casinos are used to launder money.

                    now you are retracting saying “are exposed”.

                    No retraction necessary.

                    • do legitimate casinos rig games?

                    Online casinos rig games. You have defined legitimate casinos as ones that don’t rig games. A normal internet user cannot tell the difference.

                    • do legitimate casinos help laundering money?

                    Yes. Not necessarily knowingly. Income from internet gambling is tainted.
