The Blacklisting Process

1. Detection and Monitoring:

• Continuous Surveillance: AFG employs advanced monitoring systems to track casino activities and detect potential signs of fraud. This includes analyzing player complaints, reviewing casino operations, and identifying suspicious patterns.
• Player Feedback: We actively encourage players to report any issues or suspicious activities. These reports are thoroughly investigated to determine if a casino should be blacklisted.

2. Investigation and Verification:

• Comprehensive Reviews: Our team conducts in-depth investigations into reported casinos. This involves checking their licensing status, terms and conditions, and operational practices.
• Independent Audits: We may engage third-party auditors to review the casino’s fairness, payout processes, and overall integrity.

3. Criteria for Blacklisting:

• Unfair Practices: Casinos that engage in unfair practices, such as denying legitimate winnings or using deceptive terms and conditions, are subject to blacklisting.
• Licensing Issues: Casinos operating without a valid license or those with a history of licensing violations are reviewed for blacklisting.
• Player Complaints: A high volume of unresolved player complaints or evidence of systematic issues can lead to blacklisting.

4. Action and Enforcement:

• Blacklist Publication: Once a casino is blacklisted, it is added to the AFG blacklist, which is made available to the public. This ensures that players are informed about which casinos to avoid.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Blacklisted casinos are continuously monitored to ensure that they do not attempt to re-enter the market under different names or disguises.

5. Reinstatement Procedures:

• Rehabilitation: Casinos that are blacklisted can appeal their status by demonstrating corrective actions and improvements. AFG works with these casinos to address the issues and, if appropriate, may remove them from the blacklist.
• Transparency: Casinos seeking reinstatement must provide full transparency about their operations and adhere to AFG’s stringent criteria for fair and ethical practices.

Benefits to Players:

• Enhanced Safety: By blacklisting fraudulent casinos, AFG helps protect players from potential scams and ensures they are playing on trustworthy platforms.
• Informed Choices: Players can make better-informed decisions by referring to the AFG blacklist, avoiding casinos that have been flagged for unethical practices.
