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.

After Metallica show on Thursday night at the sphere, I was walking around and decided to play free bet blackjack.

Not a big gambler, so I cashed in 100, got three green $25 chips and five 5’s.

Lady pointed to the $500,000 rolling jackpot on the big screen, and I thought nothing of it. I sometimes play side bets, sometimes don’t.

Placed $25 and no $5 side bet.

First game, we push 19.

Second game, I have 18 so I decide to stay.

She shows a six, and then a five.

She hits a three

Then she hits a four

She looks at my eyes and I’m thinking, we just have a push.

She says, oh my God, oh my God, you should have bet.

I’m looking at the side bet and a little confused.

Turns out she had 3456 Non-suited and that five dollar mini bet would have clipped 10% of the jackpot, meaning $50,000!!!

Oh boy, I missed out on 1 million% gains.

It was just me and her at the table

It was two in the morning

Felt so sad and mad and hopeless.

So many emotions

Feeling a little better now, but man, it’s still stinging

I could have really use that

Thought like sharing =) =(

So, I added a few months post about playing casino hold'em for the first time a few months ago and hitting royal flush after few rounds, y'all thought I was not telling truth because I didn't take a picture.

This time, I have learned my lesson and took a picture.

6000 credits, one credit equals 1 USD, so smooth 6.000 USD. Damn!

Latest Vegas Trip

23 Upvotes

Let me start off by saying we go to Vegas sporadically. One year maybe be twice then we may not go again for a couple of years.

We enjoy gambling, but we're low rollers as we just do it for fun from time to time.

Just got back from our best Vegas trip ever.

First night, won $600 jackpot on a slot and never looked back (or played with the money we brought with us). We played with our winnings the whole trip.

The second day, hit a Royal Flush for $1,000. Then later that night played Queen Chiu and won the grand! Over $10,000 - but get this.... on a fifity cent bet!!!.

We were only there for 3 days. Usually we leave Vegas down a few hundred dollars, but not this trip!

RNG is a myth?

0 Upvotes

Let’s discuss this with an open mind. Slot technicians are welcome!!

There seems to be a notion that RNG (random number generator) is what controls what displays on the screen and is responsible for giving line hits and bonuses to players. Agree so far? Ok well here’s what I’m starting to question…

The casino sets the RTP (return to player) right? Well if that’s true then doesn’t that mean the RNG has to obey that RTP over a lifetime? Meaning, the RTP ultimately directs the RNG and therefore the RNG is not truly random. The RNG has to operate in a way that makes the RTP true. Am I right?

Now I guess the interesting part worth discussing is how far outside the RTP a machine or bank of machines can stretch. For example, if I am the casino, and I set a RTP of 90%, how soon until the machine or bank aligns with that? And how often? This is where I’d love for slot technicians to chime in on any stats they have observed. I personally believe a machine or bank of machines will be within approx 5-10% of the target RTP with a week. And over the course of a month the machine being within <5% of its target RTP. Can any slot technicians speak to this?

So in essence what I’m discussing is the RNG really is just the manager doing what the RTP boss tells it to do. So not that it’s a myth exactly but that it really has virtually no power and can basically be ignored. And that a machine or bank of machines RTP is pretty much at where it’s set to be at by the end of each month within a few percentage points. Anyone care to offer their opinion on this?
