DO NOT deposit any money to any online casino that looks like this. Every site that looks like this is a SCAM. More details and examples in the comments.

We've already talked in-depth about how the scam works in a previous announcement, but the scammers have since changed the site layout slightly, so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a new warning with updated photos.

How The Scam Works:

  1. The victim finds the casino through an advertisement on social media that features an enticing bonus endorsed by a famous celebrity.
  2. The victim joins the site, receives their bonus, and begins to play what they believe to be legitimate casino games.
  3. The casino software is privately hosted and altered to have extremely favorable RTP% - i.e. rigged in your favor. YOU WILL WIN if you play, probably a large amount of money. If you look at the screenshots I provided, you'll see I hit a 100x dice roll on the second roll after signing up, followed shortly after by a 1,000x max difficulty Plinko win. I've replicated this method many times in the past and routinely win $20,000k+ doing so. You can use temp-mail.org to create a throwaway email and try this strategy for yourself if you'd like.
  4. When you go to withdraw, you’ll be met with many hurdles. First you'll need to pay for a security check, then you'll need to pay to verify your wallet, then a third time to pass an AML check, a fourth time to resolve a tax error, a fifth time to resolve a security score error, and so on.
  5. After the casino receives all of your deposits, they will still provide excuses or just outright ban your account. No matter what you do, THEY WILL PROVIDE A REASON NOT TO PAY YOU. This Redditor actually got the AI support agent to reveal her script for withholding payments.
  6. The casino keeps your deposit. You were scammed.

Things To Note:

  • These sites are NOT an official sponsor for Red Bull Racing, Crypto (.)com, Blockchain(.)com, Tesla, UFC, Werder Bremen, Philadeplhia 76ers, or the Argentine Football Association. This can all be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
  • These sites are NOT official partners with Donal Trump, Elon Musk, Kylie Jenner, Mr. Beast or Drake. This can also be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
  • They have not won any iGaming awards at the SiGMA awards. This can also be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
  • These sites do NOT have 51+ million registered users. For reference, Draftkings and Fanduel, the two largest publicly traded gaming companies with NFL, NBA, MLB, ESPN, etc. network deals, don’t even have that amount of users. Stake, the largest crypto casino, doesn't even come close to the number of registered users that these scam casinos claim.
  • These sites have NOT paid out $24+ billion in winnings. What an insane claim to even attempt to make.
  • Check the WHOIS to view when any of these casinos were started. Nearly all of these casino URL's were purchased just days before being promoted online.
  • Check the fake player feedback/reviews written on their own site. Some of the reviewers claim they've been playing exclusively on the 2 week old site for 3 years.
  • The player avatars used by the site are the mascot from BC Game, named Coco.
  • Look through old posts in this subreddit. Some identical sites in this network that were reported a few months ago are already offline or redirecting to random unrelated sites.
  • These sites copy Stake’s Terms of Service word for word, but conveniently leave out the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and many other “wealthier” countries from their list of restricted countries.
  • Some users on CasinoMeister are compiling a list of these scam websites. Go check it out and add more scam domains that you come across! There are hundreds listed already.
  • Please use Google's Safe Browsing Tool to report any scammy looking casino to come across.

Not as impressive as a lot of the huge wins I see on here but it's a ringer! Ended up cashing out about 5k more after the hand pay.

Alright, I have been sitting here for an hour and I have FINALLY hit the goal I have set for today.
I started at around $800 , went down at some point to $200 and started losing hope but hopped back up and finally I have hit it. It's only $2 plinko balls but I am so satisfied I have finally hit something I have been hunting and actually stay profitable. Short video I have captured & cut out all the boring parts!

Roobet location glitching ?

I’m based in Alberta and some provider like pragmatic (my favourite) is banned here. Yesterday and today while on 5g not wifi, I was able to play the slots and withdraw the money. When I connect to wifi it detects my IP and gives me the error shown in the pic below.

Now it’s giving me the error even on 5G. How can I get arojnd it and make it work like it was?

Annoyed with a friend over gambling addiction….

• Upvotes

I have a friend that approached me to give him access to my gambling accounts so he can make us money. Ok bet. The first time he wins us 400 to split. That’s where j should have stopped it. He gives me a referral code to start a drafting account and I give him access. He then proceeds to tell me he has my Venmo info and he will put it in himself… okay? Weird but go on… I didn’t make the Venmo account until we did this. Then last night I see him depositing money into my account. Which is the agreement whatever he wins we split… I fall asleep and wake up to less than half the amount of money we split…. He also texts me st 6am saying “oh sorry my nephew got into my phone and messed my stuff up” I’m not that stupid I know you gambled my half away and probably are sitting in your own. I know he did the work but it’s just the principle. What a bunch of garbage tbh.

can one bet over the limit really void your entire casino bonus?

5 Upvotes

something i've always found strange about casino bonuses is the max bet rule.

you can have a wagering requirement to complete, but you're also not allowed to bet more than a certain amount while clearing it.

i saw this mentioned in a sportbet one article about bonus terms recently. i'm connected with the project, just to be upfront.

what i'm curious about is whether casinos actually warn you before placing a bet that breaks the limit.

or can you accidentally go over it once and only find out your winnings are gone when u try to withdraw??

Lost a lot on sweepstakes casinos and now I’m scared about taxes. Illinois. Where do I start?

2 Upvotes

I’m honestly embarrassed to even write this, but I need some advice.

I went way overboard on sweepstakes casinos this year, mostly HelloMillions and Spree. Obviously I have a gambling problem. I’m done playing, but now I’m looking at the taxes and wondering how much worse I’ve made this for myself.

Going through my statements, I’ve put around $673k through these sites and gotten roughly $493k–$534k back. I’m still matching some payouts. That’s money being recycled over and over, not $673k I had sitting around. Either way, I’ve lost a substantial amount of my savings.

I’m in Illinois, single, and make about $50k from work, plus some investment income. I have bank statements, purchase emails and redemption confirmations. What I don’t have is a detailed history of my gameplay or a diary of my sessions.

I keep reading “just use session accounting,” but how do I actually do that without those records? A purchase on Monday and a payout hitting my bank Friday doesn’t tell me what happened in between. I’m trying to get records from the companies, but I don’t know what they’ll give me.

I’ve tried working through estimates with ChatGPT, and depending on the assumptions it’s thrown out everything from around $35k to $200k in total taxes before withholding. I know that isn’t professional advice or an actual bill. I need someone qualified to tell me whether those numbers even make sense, because right now I’m spiraling over them.

Has anyone here actually dealt with this? Especially in Illinois, or with these sites and missing gameplay records? What did your CPA need, and were they able to work with what you had?

I know I need to hire someone. I just don’t know whether I need a gambling CPA, a tax attorney, or both. If anyone has a referral or can tell me what to ask before paying someone, I’d appreciate it.

And if the bill really is huge, is there a realistic way to pay it over time without wiping out everything I have left?

I know I fucked up. I’m not asking how to keep gambling or hide anything. I’m trying to figure out what to do next.

Changing denomination retains the bonus and major jackpots

Just wondering if anyone has any insight into that major actually triggering because even though I collected it at 40 cent spins it is still there for every denomination. Should I try and hit it at 40 cents or just try a few 10$ spins a week?

Gambana casino are not letting me withdraw my money.

2 Upvotes

Hello. Gambana casino, which are an online offshore crypto casino and sportsbook, are not letting me withdraw my winnings. They said that they have to verify my identity with documents they asked me to provide to them to review (I provided those documents right away, and they haven't said a thing to me. I've sent the same email with the information required, 3 times, and still, no answer). Every time I contact support for help, they just come up with the most robotic and scripted answers, it's like talking to a wall. This was over a week ago. I know I made a rather dubious decision -to say the least-, when I decided to sign up to play there. I just saw an ad from them in my favorite Counter Strike forum and decided to sign up (Silly of me. Should've just stuck to playing in Stake). The purpose of this post is both to inform players in case you were thinking of maybe playing there and also, to ask for advice as to what to do. I tried making a complaint in AskGamblers but this casino wasn't even listed there, lol. I have all the evidence to back this up. I'd appreciate any advice.

Bonus Bet Hedging

Post image
0 Upvotes

I received $50 credit that must be bet. It let me wager $10 on each of the bets with a green triangle.

Does it make sense to place a final $10 of MY Money on the dodgers to win?

$10 to win $16.

Brewers win I'm out $10 (cash not credits) or nothing.

LAD wins and I make $6 profit. This feels like an easy solution but I am thoroughly confused on what is the +EV play here.

Thanks!

Question about making a gambling game and what you guys actually like.

1 Upvotes

So I have been running the slots for a long bloody time and recently I had a thought that perhaps I could build a gambling game/s. I work online in tech and have experience building things, unfortunately not games but a slot or similar can't be that hard. I am very tempted to try and see where the journey takes me, however I still have a lot of questions and haven't really got any solid game/s ideas.

What type of slots do you like to play? Me personally I love a high RTP slot that keeps you alive for a while and offers a lot of small wins. With a big win (game) being quite rare. But then I also don't mind a dead slot like "wanted" where the spins are bad but the games can be good fun.

I also don't know if I should try and come up with a new game associated with a slot. Or a game like that plane one that blew up a while ago, which is a new game in its self.

Without going into too much detail. My original idea was to incorporate these two concepts of games into one. A game where there is a slot element but also a game that allows for the player to feel as if they had some impact in the result. The next question is, is this something that game providers would even be interested in? Or do you think that they purely look for slot games or basic games like mines etc?

Honestly, i'm just looking for some opinions on this topic.

Question of the day!

8 Upvotes

Who’s the fakest content creator in the gambling community—and why?

Who did you used to watch until you started thinking, “This feels like one big act”?

Is it the forced reactions, only showing wins, misleading thumbnails, or every video turning into a casino commercial?

Who gets your vote, and what specific video or behavior changed your opinion? Bring examples—“trust me bro” doesn’t count.

And on the flip side, who actually keeps it real, even when they’re getting absolutely destroyed at the slots?
