What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Goldenbet Casino over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Goldenbet Casino - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
Goldenbet Casino a name that, at first glance, might evoke images of opulence and fair play in the online gambling world. However, as I delved deeper into the operations of this establishment, a different narrative emerged—one rife with disgruntled players, questionable practices, and an apparent eagerness to suppress any dissenting voices. This report aims to shed light on the myriad red flags associated with Goldenbet Casino, highlighting their attempts to censor adverse information, and urging potential investors and regulatory authorities to take heed.
A Cascade of Player Complaints
The digital corridors of online gambling forums are abuzz with grievances against Goldenbet Casino. A particularly alarming thread on Casinomeister.com details nine complaints within a mere six months, amounting to a staggering €35,000 in unpaid winnings. Issues range from locked accounts to ignored self-exclusion requests. It’s almost as if Goldenbet has mastered the art of customer dissatisfaction.
Similarly, AskGamblers.com hosts a litany of resolved complaints that paint a troubling picture. From delayed payments requiring video verification to abrupt account blocks without explanation, the patterns are hard to ignore. One can’t help but wonder if Goldenbet’s business model includes a chapter on “How to Alienate Your Customer Base.”
Opaque Terms and Conditions
Navigating Goldenbet’s terms and conditions feels akin to deciphering an ancient manuscript—with hidden clauses and ambiguous language. Players have reported undisclosed restrictions on specific markets, conveniently omitted from the bonus terms. Such omissions not only betray player trust but also raise questions about the casino’s commitment to transparency. It’s almost as if they’re playing a game of “Gotcha!” with their clientele.
Questionable Licensing and Regulatory Oversight
Goldenbet asserts its compliance with regulatory standards, claiming legal authorization for its gaming operations. Yet, the absence of clear information about its licensing jurisdiction is conspicuous. In an industry where credibility hinges on transparency, such omissions are glaring red flags. After all, a casino’s legitimacy is only as good as the regulatory body overseeing it—or the lack thereof.
Neglect of Responsible Gambling Practices
In an era where responsible gambling is paramount, Goldenbet’s approach appears lackluster at best. Reports indicate instances where self-excluded individuals managed to create new accounts and deposit significant sums, only to be denied refunds upon discovery. This not only contravenes ethical gambling practices but also suggests a systemic failure in safeguarding vulnerable players. It’s as if player welfare is an afterthought in Goldenbet’s grand scheme.
Censorship and Suppression of Negative Feedback
Perhaps most concerning is Goldenbet’s alleged endeavor to muzzle negative feedback. Players seeking redress through official channels often find their efforts stonewalled, with support requests and refund demands met with deafening silence. This strategy of ignoring grievances not only exacerbates player frustration but also hints at a deliberate attempt to control the narrative surrounding their operations. In the digital age, where information is king, such tactics are both archaic and telling.
A House of Cards: Dubious Licensing and Regulatory Concerns
Goldenbet Casino’s claims of operating under a legitimate license would be amusing if the stakes weren’t so high. The website boasts compliance with regulatory standards, yet specific details about the licensing body are conveniently absent or buried under layers of fine print. When players and watchdogs alike struggle to confirm a casino’s legal standing, it’s safe to assume something fishy is going on. In an industry where transparency is non-negotiable, Goldenbet’s evasiveness raises serious doubts.
A reputable online casino typically flaunts its licensing information—usually issued by established regulators like the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, or Curacao eGaming. Goldenbet, however, dances around the issue, leaving potential customers guessing. This lack of transparency undermines any claims of legitimacy and should set off alarm bells for investors. After all, a casino unwilling to disclose who’s keeping it in check is a casino that likely isn’t being kept in check at all.
Customer Service or Customer Disservice?
Goldenbet Casino’s approach to customer service is a masterclass in frustration. For an industry that thrives on trust and customer satisfaction, Goldenbet’s support team seems more interested in playing hide-and-seek than offering genuine assistance. Players frequently report lengthy response times, unresolved complaints, and a general unwillingness to engage when issues arise.
Imagine winning a significant sum only to find your account mysteriously suspended or your withdrawal request indefinitely “under review.” It’s a classic move—stalling until frustrated players give up or accept a reduced payout. When customers push for answers, they’re met with scripted responses, vague reassurances, or outright silence. This is less a support system and more a deterrence strategy, designed to outlast rather than resolve grievances.
It’s no wonder that forums and review sites are filled with tales of players struggling to recover their funds. Goldenbet’s support, rather than addressing legitimate concerns, often resorts to patronizing responses or citing convoluted terms and conditions that conveniently justify their behavior. For a business supposedly built on entertainment and customer experience, Goldenbet seems determined to deliver the exact opposite.
Conclusion
Goldenbet Casino’s operational blueprint seems to be a masterclass in what not to do in the online gambling industry. From a deluge of player complaints and murky terms to dubious licensing claims and a cavalier attitude towards responsible gambling, the warning signs are both numerous and glaring. Their apparent attempts to suppress negative feedback only serve to underscore a troubling lack of accountability.
Potential investors should approach with extreme caution, lest they find themselves entangled in Goldenbet’s web of discontent. Regulatory authorities, too, must cast a discerning eye on this establishment, ensuring that the standards of fair play and transparency are upheld. In the high-stakes world of online gambling, trust is the ultimate currency—and Goldenbet Casino appears to be operating at a significant deficit.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
