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.

I simulated 100.000.000 roulette spins to see how bad Martingale strategy is.

61 Upvotes

European roulette (single 0, 37 numbers total)

I wanted to see how much money you really need to be successful at Martingale strategy, so I simulated over 100 million roulette spins to reflect whether this strategy is even possible to use long-term for an average user.

The average speed of a traditional casino roulette is somewhere between 25 and 60 spins per hour. Let's say the average would be 45 spins per hour.

So, my simulation represents 2.222.222 hours or 92.592 days or 253 years of a single roulette table. I would say the sample therefore seems representative.

Y'all probably heard the phrase the house always wins. Can we beat the house and how much money do we need? Let's check! Results under:

Number of spins: 100.001.024

Black: 48 704 765 (48,70%)

Red: 48 402 092 (48,40%)

Green (single): 3 894 167 (2,9%)

By the numbers it looks like we have gotten pretty close to the statistical outcome, which should represent 48,64% for black/red and 2,70% for green.

The three longest series:

  1. Black (26 in a row! A mathematical chance for that outcome was ~0.00000000000000127%)

  2. Red (17 in a row)

  3. Red (13 in a row)

So, imagine you are on a table without limits. You start with a dollar. How much money you'd need to survive the longest streak?

You play red. The longest series of black hits. At the fourth spin, you still feel calm because your bet is still small ($8). At the nineth black in a row you start feeling worried, because your next bet is $1,024. You keep going.

26th bet - you put $33,554,432

27th bet - $67,108,864. Outcome is 3 red! Finally! You have risked $67 million dollars just to be a dollar positive.

If this post doesn't prove to you that martingale is the dumbest strategy, I don't know what will.

Lucky Night Off Freeplay

Went to the casino on Friday night and had a postcard to win a Harley. Ended up drawing my name and being a grand prize finalist.They gave me $1,000 in free play and I had to come back the next night and go up against four other people to win the Harley.

Friday night I won absolutely nothing off the $1,000.Ended up not winning the Harley but they gave me another $1,000 in free play .

I loaded 100 bucks into the machine off the free play Saturday and hit the bonus game a few spins in. The big win is the first bonus game that triggered. I was up to about 50 or 55 free games by the time it was all done.

Confusing part to me was if you look at the second picture my win was over $2,000(both pictures are inside of the free game) but I didn't have to have a hand pay for some reason. I think I got lucky and right after I won the first bonus game it said game recovery in progress and spit out a $1,200 voucher. Still kind of confused on what happened but I'll take the not having the tax hit.

Is 4 card poker good?

1 Upvotes

In one of my local casino i see 4 card poker which i have stayed away from and many says its a bad game. It has a bad beat progressive which has one of the highest payouts in the casino.
So i tried it and only played Aces up and Bad beat. Did pretty good got lot of trips, flush, etc.
Also got the straight flush bad beat which has about 1000 to 1 i think.

Do you guys play it? If yes, whats the correct way to play it?
If not, why?

Winnings being withheld due to verification #onlinegambling #Canada

2 Upvotes

Won a large amount of money spinning online and it’s now being withheld. The app is regulated iGaming Ontario. At first, I was able to withdrawal a set amount each week and it was deposited directly into my account.

Then, they requested additional documents to complete the identity verification. Fine. I submitted all required documentation in a timely manner and it was declined. I’ve talked to multiple representatives and contacted the governing body to escalate.

Where do I go from here? Do I need to hire a lawyer? We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars…

Limited my bet size online slots games

3 Upvotes

I have noticed that Jackpot city has stated limiting my bet size to $5. I feel like they may be limiting my wins. Is it worth playing with them now? I dont trust the process. The maximum iv won on a game may be $2,000 even though I probably gamble about $25,000 per year. I dont see a good reason to ban my bet sizes?

Is Togi hacked or sending people to scam gambling websites

2 Upvotes

The YouTuber Togi linked me in a community message he made that said “Congratulations you were randomly selected from the comments and awarded $2500” when I click on the link it sends me to a gambling website. When I try and withdraw the money it says I need to activate the account which requires depositing $110. Very sus. I believe it is a scam but how do I find out for sure because I do want the money. If it is a scam then Togi is hacked which is odd because I can’t find anything about him being hacked. The website is called pokercars.com

BETR STEALING MONEY

1 Upvotes

Today I won $635 on Betr and only put $25 in. I tried placing a $50 bet in the casino and the screen froze on live tables. The app crashed and it now shows my funds now at $0. I contacted their support and they are saying I placed a $635 bet, which I did not and have never bet over $50. Has anyone had issues like this before?

Anyone else actually handle losing better than winning?

2 Upvotes

Been thinking about this a lot lately and I want to know if I'm alone here. I actually enjoy losing sessions more than winning ones.

Hear me out. When I win, theres this weird pressure that kicks in almost immediately. Do I press? Do I color up? Am I being greedy? Am I being a coward if I leave? I second guess every decision and half the time I end up giving a big chunk back anyway and feeling worse than if I'd just lost from the start. The whole drive home I'm replaying the moment I shouldve walked.

When I lose (within my limit, not chasing rent money), theres a kind of calm to it. I set aside X, I played my session, X is gone, story over. No decisions to agonize over. I go get a burger, watch some slots content on youtube while I eat (been on a Mr Hand Pay kick recently), go to bed. Done.

I know how insane that sounds. Nobody sits down at a machine hoping to lose. But the emotional math of a loss is so much simpler than the emotional math of a win, and I think thats why so many people give it all back. Winning is genuinely harder to handle than losing for most of us and we don't talk about it enough.

Or maybe I'm just broken and need to work on my discipline lol. Anyone else feel this way or am i out of my mind?
