Ratings and reviews are supposed to be sources of useful information for craps players. The purpose of ranking online playing establishments is so the player can ascertain which site is better than which other site.  If one site has five stars and another gambling site has four stars, the five star site is supposed to be better than the four star site but on what basis? What are the criteria used in determining the ratings?  This is information that the player must have in order for the ratings to be meaningful or there is no basis for comparison. The player always wants to look for the criteria used in the determination of the ratings.

Written reviews are a little different, but there should be a criteria used in the review format.  Sometimes this will be pointed out; other times it will be ascertained as being a part of the format. Again, knowing this information allows the player to make meaningful comparisons between the sites.  Reviews can be written as a form of advertisement.  This is still providing information to the casino game player but it is not as good as a review written by a player who regularly plays at the site. Then the review is based on the player’s own experience and the player is relating her good and bad experiences of playing on the site.  Players should look for this kind of review because they are receiving input from a player who plays at the site.
