if someone is creating a new standard for banking sites

Not part of the discussion. You are straining pretty hard in your efforts to "win".

And online casinos don't include fake online casinos.

Yes, they do. The clue is in the name.

I am making an example to prove a point. The point is simple "industry" doesn't contain the scammers who try to abuse it.

Genius take!

Answer the question, though. I repost it for your own convenience. We clear out all the bullshit semantic you brought up, and go straight to the point:


Let’s pretend you actually believe your bs, and let’s make a distinction:

Online casinos = established businesses in the casino industry, operating with at least a license.
Fake casinos = scam websites that operate without a license and which spoof an online casino with the purpose of scamming users (in whatever way).

To which ones do you think your initial answer applies:

They run rigged games in predatory ways. They happily let organised crime launder money for a cut. They fight regulations designed to reduce problem gambling.

?

  • Do you think that online casinos as defined above run rigged games?
  • Do you think they help laundering money?

The point is simple "industry" doesn't contain the scammers who try to abuse it.

It does. To illustrate this I linked to a bank website containing advice on combating phishing.

Here's the definition I'm happy with.

Legitimate casinos = established businesses in the casino industry

Fake casinos = scammers

Online casinos = legitimate casinos + fake casinos

Combined because users find it hard to tell the difference.

Answer the question, your definition doesn't add much.

To which ones does your initial answer apply? Both legitimate and fake casinos?

It's not a hard question.

P.s. I bet you wouldn't be able to show me a fake casino if I asked. That's because they are not a common problem. You are overinflating it to make your absurd definition more reasonable. But let's not get into this...
