Vigiswiss - an affiliate site about online gambling

[Vigiswiss]

Hi all! My name is Raphael Hosli. I am the editor-in-chief of the information portal - Vigiswiss. This is a site about gambling in Switzerland. I proudly present it to your attention. Please rate it and comment on my post. I am ready for any criticism from you. Thanks to all!

P.S I hope to find like-minded people to develop together and make our products even better!

My first thought is that you are using a little bit too much space at the top (the blue part) and that reduces the ability for a first time visitor to see ANY of you casino ads.

If you shortened that space, at least by "some" visitors could at least see the top pic #1 or whatever, above the fold.

Site seems to present well and speed seemed ok, although I did not run a speed test.

Good luck with the site.

How did you get the GPWA seal?

[Vigiswiss]

Thanks for the feedback, universla4! I will take your opinion into consideration. I think you are right and a lot of information in the beginning can discourage visitors.

A minor note probably, but I wouldn't have 'last updated' that prominently on the home page. Better in schema or at least near the footer. It makes more sense to have 'last updated' on articles if you're going to have it anywhere.

Other than that, my comments can only be around the EN pages. And they're limited in number. I guess you're in the process of translating and publishing gradually. Clearly, it needs a lot more done.

Based on what little German I know, the DE pages look pretty well structured and the overall site structure would seem to be heading the right way.

Thanks eenzoo,

The unauthorized seal has been removed and details provided to the member for future follow up.

That and the unauthorized use of the GPWA seal, 2x trust pilot reviews (which are likely friends) Think that say's enough about this guy's ethics!

AussieDave, thanks for your comment about GPWA printing. I didn't know that an official endorsement from that association was needed. Thanks to the administration, I figured it all out and have already applied to join the club.


About the reviews on the trustpailot. So far, my brand is not that strong and well-known in the gambling niche. So the small number of reviews may seem suspicious.


And what do you say about the information portal itself?

You might want to insure all other images you have on your site are following licensing guidelines as well.
I see that you have a number of "seals" that appear to not be linked properly. Your truste badge links to #
https://trustarc.com/consumer-resour...ted-directory/

I see securi does have a seal program, but see what you have on your site does not link to securui, but also to #. While that may be proper, based on previous it may not be. (I am not familiar with the terms associate with the use of their artwork)

Simply applying for the use of a badge or seal does not give immediate authorization to use what is easily considered a copyrighted work or possibly in case a trademark image on your site.

I see you have shortened the top area on the home page.

Now when I visit the site, I immediately see the top pick on your casino fully on a desktop, so even if I do not scroll down the visitor has the opportunity to view your top recommendation. I think this will be helpful

Rick, thank you so much for your advice and for your help! I wanted to let everyone know that we finally got the official GPWA.org seal. We are now proud and perfectly legal to put it in the footer of our portal. I hope this will add credibility to our site with users and Google

[Vigiswiss]

By the way, my team and I recently updated a document that talks about the legality of online casinos in Switzerland. If anyone still has doubts and does not understand this issue, I advise you to read this material - https://vigiswiss.ch/online-casinos/legal/. We have tried to collect complete and truthful information.

Hi all! We have updated the design of our homepage - https://vigiswiss.ch. Please give us your feedback. We are ready for any comments

Hi, I did not see your previous design, but I really like this one.
The only thing I noticed on the homepage is the part where you write: Lesen Sie alle Blogbeiträge
Above this you have some post recommendations and their title cannot be seen 100% on my mobile device. A 5-8 pixels of padding on the right side would help, but it' not crucial.
On the other hand, may I know what is the name of this theme you are using? I saw it at many gambling related sites.
Best regards,
Sam

I accessed It and EN version and first thing I noticed was Last Updated: February 16, 2022
So I agree that is would be better to omit that, or at least update it more frequently.

I checked 2 reviews and saw pros listed, could not check disadvantages. Not sure if this is an issue in my device. Example: https://vigiswiss.ch/online-casinos/rolling-slots/

The personalized feature images you use are nice, they reinforce the brand =)

You guys are insane. Do you really believe those links from GPWA are somehow helpful?
Or what's the reason for those posts ... OMG you did some updates on your site ... Pls GPWA give me your opinion?!

Ridic company address btw ... you work out of a train station???

BS radar is beeping

I'm not entirely sure but I'm 99.999% sure, using the gaminglabs.com SEAL, as well as itechlabs.com SEAL, is only permitted to be displayed by the actual audited software company or casino(s) using the audited software. It's not a free-seal to be used by just anyone, as way to make people think your associated with these casino software auditing labs.

Using the eCOGRA SEAL without being a verified and accredited affiliate and or igaming entity is 100% BS, not allowed! eCOGRA (or they did) use a similar verificationm system with valid SEALS as the GPWA currently does. The eCOGRA seal on this member's site is, well fake...

Next... trustratings.com, 8 reviews, and all 8 are 1'st time posters. trustratings.com/vigiswiss.ch

Digging deeper, 1'st poster... surprise, surprise... fake user... (Natalie AlyFree)

Seems Natalie also models for hair care products... (rolls eyes)

Add in eenzoo's comments, especially the fake train station address, and this GPWA Private Member becomes less and less trustworthy, with each post, he/she makes.

Who is checking private member details these days?... Blind Freddy!
