Online Casino vs. Gambling Portal

**andrew84** · 12th October 2005, 07:59 PM

Hi all!

First of all sorry for my bad English, it's not the best. I want to write a few words about these two kind of sites. Do we need Gambling Portals? I think without gambling portals and forums this whole online gambling industry wouldn't work... But there are 100's of websites just created for hope of easy money. I don't think this question would be so easy. Nowadays Gambling Partals have reached a good ranking in the search engines and first when I started to handle with online gambling I tought there's no need for portals and affiliates. I searched for a casino just for having fun and as I typed in "online casino" in google I found a lot of gambling portals... I didn't even now how the structure of online gambling works. Anyway I clicked on one of those casinos and realized that I was redirected to the real casino. I saw the affiliate link in the URL ... this was really annyoing for me, so I deleted the: /?EF?EGE=aff25425 ... you now what I mean. But now after 1 year expirence I must say that I did wrong. If a gambling portal get's so high in a search engine that must be real special. So the point is what I wanted to ask: What do you prefer more : Online Casino website (promoting a casino) or a Gambling Portal (many casinos listed) ?

My opinion for this question is : Yes, we need gambling portals with nice reviews where eveybody can choose a casino from many others, read articles, see pictures... but you always have to know that 90% or even more of these portals are crap... 5 banners and 3 colors and 3141 links :P

Hope everybody understands what I'm talking about

P.S.
If you think I'm right let me show you an example for the new generation of casino and poker websites. I think this is how a portal should look like... no popups.. flash animation... have a look if you are interested: http://www.casino-diamonds.com for the casino and also one for poker : http://www.poker-diamonds.com. If somebody would share his opinion with me, write here or you can contact me via e-mail: kovesz@gmail.com

Good luck at the table!

Cheers,
Andrew

Gambling portals are nothing but sites trying to raise there rating with search engnes with tons of links.

If you really want to find a good casino you have to go to a clean looking site with reviews and so forth.

Thank you,

Nice looking site and selected info. Shame it is just another glorified spam site and with pop ups i might add.

There are many websites online purporting to be online casino guides and portals. In fact they are little more than vehicles for spammers. That's why I was glad to come across Removed. Gamblux seems to be asking the right questions. It looks like the guys there understand the importance of valuable, relevant and interesting content - that is also short. I suggest you visit the site.

I don't understand this. What does admin mean by "You must let us know where you are linking back to gambling.co.uk"? Is it that you must put a link in your post to this site. That would be weird. Or is it that they insist that if you link to your own site then your site must link back to gambling.co.uk. That would be a thought but perhaps a bit restrictive but whatever... But what if you want to link to another interesting site? Is that allowed?

Oops - Sorry about the question I have just read the rules. I hadn't read them before because I thought I couldn't find them. They are succinct, straightforward, and reasonable. Sorry

The difference of an online casino and online casino portals is that online casino is the site itself where you can registers, deposit and play any online casino games and online casino portals is a guide where they listed some reputable online casino sites to avoid being fooled by rougue online casinos.
