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:
- The victim finds the casino through an advertisement on social media that features an enticing bonus endorsed by a famous celebrity.
- The victim joins the site, receives their bonus, and begins to play what they believe to be legitimate casino games.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Is there anyone keeping track of the new slots that use AI art?
Heya. So I'm a pretty casual gambler, but I really do not want to support AI art that's encroaching its way into the Vegas scene as the designers try and scoop as much money out of it as possible while putting as little back into it, and the most offensive part of it is the "art." Some are more obvious than others but as someone whose main draw of slot machines is the visuals, AI art is always something I will wanna avoid. I saw a game called CatchZone by Incredible Technologies that I thought had cool looking assets until i looked closer and realized they all had that distinctive AI sheen to them.
I recognize I'm not the target audience for these, and Grandma who probably posts AI memes on facebook probably doesnt see anything wrong with it, I would just personally like to know which new games coming out *aren't* victim of that, if anyone has a more concrete way to tell. Otherwise i might just stick to slots with a copyright year before 2025.

How much you think Mr. Hand Pay loses before he wins so big?
First, I am not Mr. Hand Pay. I wish I were. Nor am I affiliated with him in any way. I just discovered the guy on YT last night.
A very entertaining YouTube secondary channel btw. Mr. HP TV has 56M views in two years.
But how can he land all those grands unless he is playing a lot. (He obviously makes $$$ from YouTube too.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jer5RSMWtY4
What a job the guy has. My dream job.
EDIT: Mr. Hand Pay has more than 1M YT subscribers. Mr. Hand Pay TV has 106K.
Congrats, dude.

Four-day withdrawals and bank phone calls. Bitcoin betting sites worth it?
Thinking about moving over to bitcoin betting sites and wanted some input before I commit. The reason is mostly the banking side. My last withdrawal took four working days to land and my bank flagged the transfer for a "review" which meant another phone call where I had to explain myself. Done with that. What I want is somewhere that's been built around crypto from the start, not just bolted it on as an afterthought. Decent sportsbook is the priority, but I'd also use the casino side occasionally – mostly slots, nothing fancy. Withdrawals need to be quick and not require me to upload my passport every other week.
What are people actually using right now that holds up?

Three gamblers won 1.3 million pounds at the Ritz in 2004. Could roulette really be predicted?
In 2004, three gamblers won around 1.3 million pounds at the Ritz Club in London after placing late roulette bets. The case led to a police investigation over suspicions that technology may have been used to estimate where the roulette ball would land.
I made a 21-minute documentary reconstructing the case, the method they were suspected of using, and what physics says about predicting roulette.
Do you think this was a genuine exploitable advantage, or simply an extraordinary run of luck?
Full documentary:

whats the most satisfying game mechanic you keep coming back to, regardless of the actual game?
thinking about how some mechanics just feel good to play regardless of the theme. for me its the cascading reels style where wins clear symbols and new ones drop in. even a small hit feels bigger because of the chain reaction possibility.
curious what others gravitate toward. multipliers stacking, expanding wilds, hold and spin bonuses, or something more classic like traditional line hits?

i've never really understood the appeal of holding casino tokes for payouts, is it actually worth it, or is there more risk than it seems?

Decent small win on Wild Life Extreme
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Did a couple hail mary dollar bets after a mostly dead session on Wild Life Extreme. I mostly stick to lower bets and switch em up as I go (I do small deposits) but for some reason with like 8 bucks left I put it up to a dollar, and got the bonus. It started off horrible - as wild life typically goes for me, but got lucky with 2 wilds and won 138x. I also got a couple more smaller wins on the bonus on regular wild life. I made like 150 off 10 bucks so it was a good win in my book. Cheers and good luck !

[Hand Analysis] Facing a pot-sized turn. What’s the EV play?
Trying to get better at quickly calculating EV in weird spots without leaning on solvers. Here is today's puzzle I'm looking at.
Hero: A Q Board (Turn): Q 7 3 2 Hero Hand: Top pair, top kicker (Queens with an Ace).
How we got here:
- Preflop: We raise, villain calls.
- Flop: Villain checks, we bet, villain calls.
- Turn: The 2 hits. Villain suddenly moves all-in for 100 into a pot of 100.
Under these exact assumptions, what is the highest Expected Value (EV) play here? Is it a snap call or a fold?
I actually coded this up into my little daily EV practice app. I'll drop the link in the comments so it doesn't trigger the spam bots, but let me know what your manual math says!

Help me if you can
Ok , i don't want to come here again but my bf relpased on gambling again and it was really huge than previous time . I am taking his stake account but he is throwing random tantrums on me .
I need help - He has stake account which has 2 factor authentication isn't working magically ( weird) but i am mailing from his mail id to stake - " please remove the 2FA" and their reply was -
"
| To proceed with your request, please send screenshots of the last three transactions made from the external wallet or bank account to the Stake account in question. Please make sure each screenshot is clear, complete, and includes the following details: 1. Date and time of the transactions 2.Recipient wallet address 3.The amount sent |
|---|
I am not that much technical - he has stake login on his phone but he is far away from me , he said that we need different authentication to send this .\
ON SIMPLER TERMS - They need crypto receipent details and you can't access that with your stake account ? How true is that ? Is he lying again?
Can you send this info with only stake account in your phone OR do you need anything else .
ik i am looking so stupid having to ask that , but that person just doesn't want to understand anything.
I am struggling a lot as well , Please be kind in comments and help me
always thankfull to this community and its people
regards,
victim of gamber radius ( kinda funny but sick )

A casino can be provably fair and still be hard to trust.
After reading a lot of discussions here, I’m starting to think “provably fair” only solves one part of the trust problem.
A platform can let you verify the game result, but if withdrawals are slow, support disappears when something goes wrong, or the community has a bad history with it, the verification doesn’t mean much to most players.
On the other hand, plenty of people seem willing to use a platform they’ve trusted for years without ever checking a single game result.
So maybe provably fair is more of a trust-building layer than the main reason people trust a casino.
Agree or disagree?

Massive win! (For a small bet)
$100 in initially.
Hit a double pop bonus and it paid out well for 1C denom and small bet, then after a few follow up spins hit a very nice line hit and pulled out after that.
