Scam watch: dead, flagged & watched

We keep problem operators visible on purpose - as warnings, without visit links. This is the list most affiliate sites quietly delete. "Watch" is not an accusation: those operators are still listed in our rankings, but with active concerns you should read before depositing.

Dead - not operating

No longer operating - balances are likely gone. Do not deposit. Frozen or parked pages can still answer with HTTP 200: "reachable" in the daily check never means "working".

How a site lands here

Dead: no longer operating (a frozen or parked page can still answer with HTTP 200 - reachability is not operation). Scam: a confirmed pattern of unpaid players or deposit theft. Watch: unresolved concerns that did not (yet) meet the bar for a scam flag. Status is per our methodology; operators can dispute with evidence via contact.
