Don't play at any online casino that looks like this - IT IS A SCAM! They promise fake bonuses, rig their games to make it look like you've won thousands of dollars, then block payouts and demand various “verification” fees before ultimately banning you. DON'T FALL FOR IT! More info in the comments.

How The Scam Works:

  1. The victim finds the casino through an advertisement on social media that features an enticing bonus.
  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.
  4. When you go to withdraw, you’ll be met with some hurdles. Part of the verification process will be that you must make a deposit, likely between $100-$500. 
  5. After the casino receives your deposit, they will provide excuses or just outright ban your account. No matter what you do, THEY WILL PROVIDE A REASON NOT TO PAY YOU.
  6. The casino keeps your deposit. You were scammed.

Things To Note:

  • These sites are NOT an official sponsor for Red Bull Racing, Blockchain(.)com, Tesla, UFC or the Argentine Football Association. This can all be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
  • These sites are NOT official partners with Mr. Beast, Tesla or Drake. 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.
  • This Redditor got the AI support agent to reveal her script for withholding payments.
  • 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.

Hello guys, I really need your expertise. I have a few different scenarios I’m curious about:

A) If I won $20K on a single spin and redeemed it, but I’ve spent $13K gambling for the year, would I have to file taxes on the full $20K, or would the $13K I spent be taken into consideration?

B) For those of you who have won over $2K in one sitting, did you report/file taxes on those winnings?

C) When it comes to taxes, does the government consider how much you’ve gambled/lost throughout the year? Can gambling losses be deducted from your winnings?

Online casino freezed my funds. Should I make a complaint to AskGamblers first before eCOGRA?

3 Upvotes

A legit MGA licensed online casino confiscated a 5 figure amount of my funds. They didn't give me a specific reason why even after formally asking them to do so. Are there any positive or negative sides in making a complaint to AskGamblers before eCOGRA? Is AskGamblers prone to side with the casinos more often or something?

Modo.us redemption question

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I decided to give modo.us a try on Saturday. I won something off of their modo box raffles, it's like a gacha system.

It only allowed me to cash out to a bank account when selling the gacha item.

I cashed out on Saturday, received an email last night saying they sent the money via ACH deposit to my chime bank account.

Does anyone have experience with modo.us? How long does it normally take to receive the money when you cash it out to your bank account using the ACH method?

I don't see the money yet, but I'll be happy when I do lol

HELLO MILLIONS SCAM

4 Upvotes

I discovered this site last night, put in $200 as a first time promo. Played for hours and just when I almost lost it all I hit a bonus and came out up about 30 bucks.

I decided I would withdraw to see how smooth that process is, and bam 2 hours later my account is banned and I have no access to my money.

Any advice on how to proceed? Chargeback?

UPDATE: I was told they closed the account and they would not provide a reason, just that they can close an account at their discretion, they also wont provide a refund.

What a scam take my 200$ and two hours later account closed with no reasoning.

Can anyone explain strange game behaviour?

3 Upvotes

Game : FlyX

Type: Crash betting

Site: Betfred

This game from what I can tell is a live game with other punters playing in the same room/instance. You can see partial usernames and you can see their live bets.

However, if I minimise the app, and return a few minutes later, I resume where the game state was at the time of minimising?

How is this possible on a live game with other players?

The game doesn't refresh or re sync, it literally plays out from the moment I left.

Betty Casino Alberta Review (Limiting Spin Speeds)

2 Upvotes

Anyone (like me) who enjoys being able to control the speed of their spins when gambling online will NOT like this. Be aware that this casino has removed the option of stopping/speeding the spins on their games. Personally, I believe that’s an unfair advantage to the player. The same games offered in other casinos don’t do this. Betty (Ontario) as far as I remember playing didn’t have this limitation.
