Anything that cause losing of bankroll, I'm asking because I'm thinking about making investments. I tried googling, got nothing.

Its funny you bring this up,have been watching a thread on Betcoin.tm and how they are not processing any withdraws from accounts.
Was trying to think the same thing,since some one did say it could happen and could not recall any at the time.

Well, they've been accused of scaming a lot. I'm more interesting of sudden bankroll loses of trusted casinos.

But its the same thing if you are investing. They run with the money and its the same result.

There are some instance of services being hacked and some people claim that the hacker was an excuse for the  site steal the money of everyone, so you may look for cases of casinos being hacked too.

also there are some scam sites where you deposit and will never be able to withdraw, of course they are not the most popular sites around, I think there is a list of such sites somewhere in this section

Exit scams is something you should always be wary of. Even if the site has been reputable for a while doesn't mean you won't see the funds disappear.
Happens all the time on dark net markets.

You should never leave coins on a site where you don't control the keys.

That's what I was looking for, thanks!

Why Diceco.in appear like a scam website ?

This cost us alot!

 

Phew! Glad the things are ok now! Now I can finally sleep :D

Hoorah to dice.co! It's alive! Lol. But seriously though was kind of a but worried there when i saw this.

*Diceco.in

There were many, most are mentioned above, I don't remember the names for others but dicebitco.in was another scam site, they were caught messing with nonce to steal from gamblers iirc, though not sure if they ran away with investor's funds or not.

there has been a lot of short span gambling sites that is not very popular. i know of a few in the past few years that they only survive like a few months to half a year and then they disappear with all the credits. Some claimed that they have lost all the btc while some just disappear into thin air.

Yes, there definitely have been scams like that. It is very important to realize that. I would be extra cautious with 1) relatively newer sites, especially if they (seem) to grow quick 2) sites with an inactive admin. But in the end any (crowdfunded) casino site could end up scamming you. Either by stealing the bankroll, rigging your rolls (if u don't verify your bets), faking winning players when you invest (without you noticing it!) or if they get hacked (which might be unnoticed for you too.) You only own the bitcoins if only you have the private keys for that address.

Damn a lot of scams.So far i invested in BitDice.me and Crypto-Games.net and everything was ok, got some profit also

This is probably the most infamous one.

If you invest in morr famous gambling site or gambling wallet like moneypot you will get lower risk or lossing all you have invested as they are quite trustworthy till now and are accepted by lots of gambling site. Some single game casino site can easily run with all the bankroll stating someone has hacked their wallet or blah blah etc. They dont use escrow so owner can easily run away woth all bankroll.

Yeaaa even a reputable site can turn to scam and run with our investment money.
So would better if we move investment money periodically from a site to another site.
Who knows a high reputation site like betking.io with over 3,000 bitcoin invested can run away but we wish it will never happened.

I too invested in Crypto-Games.net, but nothing seems to guarantee safety in future (although owners seems like a really cool guys). I think the best way is to split investment between 5-10 good casinos.

Casino businesses are very profitable if any one runs it properly so already reputed sites most likely will not run way with these funds instead they may improve there business to attract more players to generate more profits. But as you said, no one knows how people think so remember don't put all your coins in any one sites instead put it in few good sites to reduce these loses.

Actually it doesnt matter if you move periodically your money because if you have any big investment. This will sure attract site to scam but this is only one time job for them to scam. But why they want to scam if their site can be bigger? See primedice, although hufflepuff 'scammed' them but they can still stand strong until today

scam is not about how reputable a person or a company but it's about chances yeaa a chance to runaway.
where is a chance there an intention , it's a scam principle.
no matter how reputable they are once there is a chance , they can stake their reputable for bigger plan to scam.

I can only recall a website more because it was very famous and running very nicely, it was dice.ninja , basically you should invest into the moneypot sites or well established sites.

I want to second this list, though I will say that SatoshiDice has shown itself to not be too popular as of late, and since the site's +EV is based on a lot of turnover, that may not be a good idea. Or it could be great if someone loses a lot and others aren't winning. But I prefer higher turnover.

As I am new to casino world so I do not know about that news, and I have never heard a news like that any where in this forum or any other forum, but still we have to stay only with those sites which have some good reviews and feedback from its members.

As you have mentioned I too think investing has because a dangerous operation now a days , you should know every bit of the site you invest it else you might regret later.

There were many one like win88 and dice ninja ( yes lol was a gambling site ) but exceptions always occur and it must be our own responsible to try our gambling only with old and reputed sites. If we go for freebie baits, then regretting later is inevitable.

Yeah I understand that but for businessman he will think ahead and then make a move, if their site is going to be huge with a lot of people playing on it why he should run away with that one time money. This will just make yourselves bad although let say that you are start it from zero but if you gain trust from player soon or later your site will be big enough and you will earn profit for sure

Dice ninja? Are you for sure? If I not mistaken they have a scammy background. But anyway how do you know that site is well established? There is no way you could judge if you never try it before, although some reviewer need to test the site to make some reviews

I think this is a negative point for diceco.in because people might be confused as most of us that both are sites are same or run by the same person. Anyways yeah dicecoin is legit :)
