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.

Interesting to see it displayed as $1250 instead of the expected 12500, on a 10 cent demom ($2.50 bet)

If you’re familiar with this machine there’s a chance to them to pay again, but I only got 5 outta 6 purple boxes! Boo! (But yay for the nice big numbers!)

Dropping $1000 to see if I can make $10K

3 Upvotes

So on Friday I’m going to this casino by the beach in my city, great place, has a bunch of floors and I’m going high roller mode. I’m dropping 1K like the title says which is a tiny fraction of my cash so it won’t matter if I lose it.

But I’m gonna try and make $10K+ out of it using either tables or slots.

Wish me luck, guys!

What’s a good east coast casino/poker room for a day trip overnight stay?

2 Upvotes

Haven’t played live in a bout a year, i want to find a good spot to play at for a day or 2 for my birthday. Preferably, somewhere between Richmond VA and Atlantic City. I live near MGM and Live Maryland so if those are the best spots, I’ll just stick with them. But I wouldn’t mind trying somewhere new. Mainly play 1/2 or 1/3, but 2/5 isn’t out of the question.

And side note, has anyone played at Pops Poker in Richmond? How is it?

side bets tracking tables

1 Upvotes

i play gravity roulette setup on my phone pretty much every week and the interface runs smoothly, but i'm trying to get a better handle on the multiplier stats. does the lobby history tab actually show the exact intervals between those big bonus drops over the last 50 rounds, or do you have to manually track the numbers yourself?

first time in Vegas over 21, first big win

My 6th time in Vegas (fav city!) but only my first time since I turned 21 a few months ago! Put in $40 on wheel of fortune, won on my second slot on my first day of the trip! Cashed out and had fun the rest of the trip using my winnings for experiences rather than putting it back in, still have a bunch left too. at Flamingo.

Shaking off a loss and being positive

3 Upvotes

Well over the last month, I ran 1100 up to 6900 but just had a 3k loss yesterday. My last 2 trips was 1000-2100 and 900 up to 3k. Then yesterday it went poorly. But staying positive-really just wiped my 2 previous profits to even and still have a nice ~3k profit. Probably gonna take a break for a week to dust myself off

Never play Scratchee!

1 Upvotes

So Scratchee is an online scratch card game. It takes real money and operates under the “sweepstakes” rules to bypass online gambling laws.

I have played 80 cards total on their site. Ranging from $10, $20, $30, $50, and $100 cards.

Out of 80 played cards, I won on 24 scratch cards.

Out of the 24 wins, 12 of them were just money back.

out of 12 that weren’t just money back, only 2 were double my money, and 1 was triple my money.

80 cards, 66 losses, 12 money back, 2 double my money, 1 triple.

Absolutely disgusting.

Do you enjoy the experience, or just making money?

13 Upvotes

I haven't really started going to the casino until recently. Theirs plenty of options in Vegas, so its like a kid in a candy store. Im also a gamer, so the atmosphere just fits. Im clearly there to win money, but I do like seeing the reels spin, the flashing lights, and the attractive employees. Its a hobby of old people, too, so theirs time to kill. Whats your reason for gambling?

Alright. Officially time to put the accounts in cool down and take a little vacation.

EDIT:

Since this post I continued playing and can confidently say this is the best day of gambling I’ll ever have aside from hitting that jackpot on a $5 spin lol. New post to come….

Perceived progressives: Something to outlaw?

Post image
77 Upvotes

Google defines perceived progressives progression as"visual and audio design elements in slot machines—such as growing pots, filling coin bowls, or swelling symbols—that create the illusion that a player is getting closer to a bonus or jackpot."

This leads to jackpot chasing.

You've seen this trick on Spooky Link, that crazy chicken game where the egg pile grows, and hundreds more.

I think this is grounds for regulation. It's fully a trick in a highly regulated industry. It's all very entertaining, yes, but there are hundreds of thousands of newby gamblers who think the taller pile of eggs means something.

It means nothing. All that matters is RNG: Random Number Generation.

grinding the wave 2 pool on housebets but quick question about the duel mode slider.

1 Upvotes

i got my payout from the first wave here and currently grinding the 5m pool, plus that sloth bot hubie keeps dropping random reloads which is cool. the thing is i'm trying to figure out how to optimize their duel mode settings. they have that customizable slider where you can shift your rewards split between rakeback and lossback. for those who are actively clearing volume for the leaderboard, what's the best split ratio to keep your balance alive longer without slowing down your wave 2 point generation too much?

Getting a host after first visit

2 Upvotes

How much are you playing to get a host. A few places I'll just play 1k until its over. And a host will reach out. Last week dropped 5k on slots. Pay outs were so low I didn't really get that many player points. Nobody has reached out. Anyone know what usually raises a flag. Im in a lower income area so 5k visit is somewhat big for us. Obviously in Vegas I wouldn't expect to hear from anyone . What kind of action gets you a host?
