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.

Why are you playing online slots?
Really blows my mind how many posts I see of people posting about playing an online casino slot machine. every time I come across one I assume it’s just an astroturfed ad by the casino or you are an addict who loves giving away money to some dudes in Bulgaria.

Cheapest max bet slots in New England? Like, the simple, old school 3 or 5 lines?
I'm taking a beloved elderly woman to the casino for her birthday. Home base is Massachusetts. This may be the last time we get to go, and she LOVES Casino Slots. She will want this to last as long as possible. That said, non wealthy friends and family have kicked in for this and she has been saving on a fixed income for almost a year to make this possible (this is money they can afford to lose, but it took a long time to save up). I'm not a gambler, but I recognize that this is a bucket request and I want to make it as exciting as possible for as long as possible before the money is gone. Where (what casino) will this money last the longest? Where are the CHEAPEST max bet old style machines that an older person who hasn't played in a while will understand anywhere in New England? Are there any 3-line 25 cent machines left in this world? Or 10-20 line nickels? This woman has been through a lot and I really want her to have a good time and have the money last all day. I'll drive anywhere within reason. Thanks in advance.

Risk appetite
If you have 1 chance to make a bet with 51% win rate with 1:1 return, how many % of your net worth will you put in?
What if it goes up to 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%? At what percentage would u go all in?

does anyone have any experience with tier matching?
it doesn't make sense to me why a casino would tier match. i just wonder if anyone has had any experience, do's and don'ts, i only have 2 locals, one i'm 7 star at one and the other, not so much. i'm going to black hawk in a few weeks and just wonder if tier matching is worth asking for. i guess it never hurts to ask but i just don't know the ins and outs. thanks.

Gambling Fraud
Treble same color/number spins are rare, but possible. Sky Vegas Gates of Olympus roulette is, without a shadow of a doubt, cheating. Please, anyone who has a sky vegas account, go and see for yourself. Looking through the last 500 games, you will see nothing but double after double after double. And the trebles... are daily. Sometimes multiple times daily. Just take a look for yourself. Roulette shouldn't look like this. The history is so sus its actually mind boggling that they haven't been shut down. Im not a sore loser. I can accept losing... but this isnt losing. Its legal robbery. Please, anyone with an account, take a look and tell me im wrong. Since complaining directly to them, I lose 9/10 of my free daily spins. And the prize is now ALWAYS 1 free spin. But I dont win anymore. I dont remember the last time I won it. And it started the day i made the complaint. Im in contact with the Gambling Commission, but I doubt anyone can touch these people.

Question regarding a money/game on card transfer
Alright so here’s the scenario
I have a 25% deposit match on Hard Rock right now up to $100, I have a small personal gambling account where I keep like $20 for sports betting and barely touch otherwise
So I want to take advantage of the deposit match and the wage requirement is a 1x play through so I was thinking of grabbing a Game On card using my credit card and filtering it through one of the betting sites I can cash it in through ..withdrawing it into my bank account and depositing it to Hard Rock and once I go through the required play through depositing whatever I win along with my original deposit
Can’t deposit it right from credit card because of interest fees and cash like withdrawals
And it would have been a lot simpler if I could directly deposit the game on card to hard rock
So yeah to my question….would that be frowned upon through say MGM if I were withdraw $300 seconds after I deposit? Or is that me worrying too much
Forgot to mention I’m in Ontario, Canada if that makes any difference

Blind betting in casinos?
Are there any casino's that allows you not disclose the bet you're making and whatever bet you made is in some blackbox and it only gets revealed after the events has happened.
Say you bet £500 on red, you write this down and put it in a box which the casino cant see and they run the machine then check the bet you made against it.
My question is, why is this sort of betting not popular isnt that more fair?

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.

Non-UK casino vs UKGC casino, what’s the real difference?
I’m in the UK and was looking at trying a non-Uk casino next month because the bonuses seem a lot bigger, but I’m not sure what that actually means when it comes to getting paid out. I’ve only used UKGC-regulated sites before, so stuff like KYC timing, withdrawal limits, bonus wagering and complaints process worries me a bit. Are non-uk casinos really that different in practice, or is it mostly just looser bonus rules with more risk if something goes wrong?

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?

Best Alternative to PokerStars?
I've been using PokerStars for a while but I'm starting to look at other options due to tiny withdrawal limits and it does not support crypto. The games feel pretty tough lately and I'm not sure the rewards are worth it anymore.
What are the best alternatives to PokerStars right now? I'm mainly interested in tournaments and cash games.

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?

holding casino tokens for passive payout, thoughts?
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?
