Millions of gambling guides are listed in search engines, but - and this is where the big problem lies - which ones are tax compliant? Here you will find a guide that aims to help you choose the casino for you.
You will tell us that you don't really care, but nevertheless we will insist on this parameter to give you the keys to smart browsing. Learn more about scams with the online gambling guide?
There are currently 4 types of gambling guides on the Internet:
Guides (casino, poker and Premier League sports betting) whose structures are offshore companies.
These are pure guides whose owners deliberately want to avoid all taxes. Even worse, most of these gaming guides are also run from France or another European country (thanks to the Internet), which is prohibited by the laws in force in all European countries: any work carried out on the territory of a country is liable for the taxes of that country (corporate tax, income tax, fees, etc.).
To be more clear, an online casino guide, for example, whose legal structure is an offshore company (in the Seychelles, Delaware or other tax havens, etc.) and is run, is strictly illegal and is involved in tax evasion. If you enter the following keywords in Google.fr: “casino guides”, you will find more than 2 million sites.
So, which ones are tax compliant?
Keep in mind that the largest online casino guides are offshore legal entities: it is not a matter of tax evasion of a few hundred euros, but of millions of euros that evaporate before the eyes of European countries. At a time when every child born has 30,000 euros in debt on their head, this is a real scandal, isn't it?
By browsing these gaming guides to choose your online casino, poker or sports betting site, you are unknowingly participating in European tax life. So surf "smartly"... It's time to become aware of this parameter and stop surfing blindly, that's our advice!
This civic sense that is asked of you is also essential for the unfair and aggressive competition to which declared casino guides are subjected, whose webmasters are concerned about transparency with regard to the European tax authorities.
The "small" online gambling guides that offer several different casino or poker sites:
It cannot be said that these guides are cheating, since some of them declare their income from the Internet in the BIC field of their declarations. Generally poorly ranked in search engine results, these gaming guides generate little revenue, but they still generate some...
Now rely instead on casino, poker or sports betting guides, whose sites have information-rich content. Moreover, you are not sure that these webmasters declare these excess incomes in their declarations. It is better to choose a gaming guide with a legal structure.
A quick reminder: French law requires you to declare as soon as your income becomes regular. Some large online casinos circumvent this law by claiming that payments to their smaller gaming guide affiliates are annual.
It is difficult to believe this argument, which does not hold water: who would work for a year without receiving anything? And besides, the word "regular" also implies consecutive years, not just month after month...
Other gambling sites are similar to well-organized networks of online casinos themselves: they are easy to recognize because they usually offer only 2 to 5 online casinos.
Little content (5 to 6 pages), always offering the same casinos, always the same sentences. These casino or poker guides, called black hat sites, are only present on the internet to propel the main casino site in the search engine results and are really of no interest.
They are reinforced by satellite sites (fake sites), Russian and Chinese links, in short, spam, from which the engines suffer, but also and especially all the players who do not stop at the methods of ranking sites in the engines. According to our sources, they are currently actively researching ways to overcome this problem. However, even in 2012 (the year this article was written), the search engines have not managed to stop spam in their results.
