If a person doesn't bet or play with an A+ rated book or casino, they have no one to blame but themselves if they get stiffed. Players get infatuated with these big bonuses that these scam books offer, and then are surprised when they don't pay.

> I know it was the case with many online casinos, especially in the beginning days and with the ones who were operating out of certain Central American countries, that once they got a bad reputation for stiffing players, they could simply move and/or change their name. I think it was especially so with sports books, which were and still are a dime a dozen. I know when I started playing in about 2001, it was essentially the Wild West, bad guys everywhere. I think it's still basically like that, especially with the smaller sites.

> One amusing incident comes to mind as I'm typing, and I'm sure you can google it. There was a online casino that was actually using Microgaming software, which is a major provider, and their name was Goodfellows Casino. They stiffed everyone. lol Imagine that, a bunch of crooks at a place called Goodfellows Casino. I can't help but see some humor in that. Anyway, eventually the software provider supervised claims by the injured players and people got their money back. They were lucky.
