Bitcoin Forum

Joined their site, with their "free" promotion. "Won" .04 BTC on my third spin. Tried to cash it out. You must deposit .015 BTC to get "verified".

I messaged their support and they said that I would have to make a deposit to withdraw  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So I said to them, "this sounds like an email fraud scam to get your lottery winnings released". It did not get answered for a while, then I clicked to go watch the "lottery" and got "You are banned!"

Total fraud site. Their support email bounces back as no address. Whois shows recent registration.

Chat box is total non relevant to their ongoing lottery, just random messages that aren't conversing with any others in the room.

It's an old scam attempt. You will always win when they will launch these websites because they need you to go for an withdrawal so that they can ask for the deposit money.

Truth is that you never won anything 🤪

Please move it to the scam accusations board.

Nice catch. It's funny how this old cheats are being recycled. They just changed it to crypto and then they're back at it again. How did you get to know their site by the way?

I think your winning 0.04 BTC was a trap to Enticement you ba the cheater/team. So that you can deposit 0.015 BTC for withdrawing a double amount of BTC. But After depositing you would be banned without getting payment. It's your luck that you did not the work. It's fine really. We should aware of our hard-working money. Thanks

OP, for your reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5081286.0

I see something different here, only BTC0.04 winnings?

Looks like they now changed the usual high winnings for it to looks like a not an obvious sh*t.

The fact that this scam is still around means that still many users fall for it and that is pretty sad. Usually when threads like yours are created the member would fall for the scam and complain that he lost money. It is good that it didnt happen to you and hopefully more and more people will realize that this is nothing but a cheap attempt to steal your money.

Sounds fishy.
That is a nice catch and now everyone aware of this kind of fraudulent scam gambling site.
I remember this kind of trap on telegram but that is on an exchange site, someone asking me that he need help and want to withdraw the balance that he left on the said site but I need to deposit before I can withdraw. That is insane, and that is relevant to this case, I may suggest that OP stay away on that site or else you might be scammed.

I'm glad the the OP did not fall for this. Unfortunately, since these sites seem to keep popping up, there must be enough fools to make it worth their while. A person should never be asked to make a deposit in order to withdraw any winnings. This includes winning from "promotions."

True, am also pretty sure there are some ignorant greedy people that always fall for this kind of scam out there. The scam trick has been going on for a very long time and if the scammer wasn't making any money out of it then it would have stopped a long time ago. I am shocked by the number of scam websites out there that are using this scam trick.

Funny and strange. you don't need too many proof after this the site is not sincere. Any one that's plays the game will win by the first spin for them to require payment for some messed up verification. Tread with caution registering there is poisonous

Sadly I have seen many people in the forum to fall for this scam. It is useless reporting their sites. The keep on changing their casino name and their domain but they still use this scamming tactic. So yeah, it might help others to notice the pattern of the scam. There are even chat box were real people talks so that the victim gets convinced that the site is actually a real legit casino.

It's a scam site/fraud gambling site asking you to deposit an amount of btc to get verified and will be able to withdraw your winnings as you can read or as they have claim which is not really true. There are lots of sites that they use the same way to scam people by making their victims mind that he/she really did won btc by playing in their game from their site but it's only a setup to make it looks like real and will ask you to deposit a certain amount of btc to withdraw your winnings. If I were the one who is in your situation, I will tell the site owner that i'll pay the btc required to verify my account with the btc I won from playing games in your site.

Indeed, luckily OP did not fall into that scam attempt, he knows at earlier and shares on us. Well, even this is not new in crypto space that there is some people wanted to have easy money and fool naive people that might bite into their trap. As my advice, choose only gambling platform that advertises here in the forum because that is totally safe on us as gamblers. Don't be greedy of big high amount return promises.

If seen a lot of topics here on the chat promoting such websites but gladly all were deleted very fast. Everytime they got other weird urls. I just tried one with some bonus code and directly won 'doh' and to withdraw i needed to deposit 0.01 BTC. So there is the catch and i am sure they wont pay after depositing.

It's back and still working at least to those nosy and greedy victims. Tricks like this should be achieved or pinned to make up something like an introductory message for newbies when they are coming in.
The OP still did not noticed the scam and had to message the support so I need to ask where are our six sense gone how do you read the signs and still harbour doubt

Why would you even try in the first place when everything looked so weird shady? Clicking on shady urls could also lead to a plethora of problems which is why avoiding them completely is the better solution here.

You should have checked whether the security of the site itself before playing there. There are some scammers out there who steal your information just by clicking on certain links or downloading certain software.

I avoid any sites that have a nonstandard domain extentions like  .world or whatever, 9 out of 10 times they're scam.

And I think you're just parroting whatever's said here:

https://steemit.com/scam/@yanilkr/cryptoplay-world-is-a-scam-users-beware

this was new for me  . i know crypto along time but i only see this scam attempt lately  .

why would he stop if he isnt making any money ? he should continue this because he is still hoping that someone would fall on this trick   .  he will also continue to do this if he already earns from it

i guess they are only being operated by the same owner and they aren different sites that use this trick   .

Does the site have an account on Bitcointalk? If they do post all the proof and screenshots you have about them in the reputation board and DT members will probably tag them. They wont care about that but at least anyone considering to do any business with them will see the warning.

No they don't have any official account on here (at least until now). People shouldn't fall for this scam just because of warning from DT member, they should be smart like OP to avoid this scam attempt.

@Op, move this thread to scam accusation

yes, old type of scamming like
- nigerian scam
- ponzi scam

when someone ask money, you never drop him - or drop him with escrow

yep, and did we all trapped in such scam when we started in the crypto world :( now let's warn all the new users. When they ask you to deposit to withdraw, you know youre screwed.

Its so funny but at the same time not so funny because someone might have fallen for it. Its an old trick in the book though but someone who is greedy would do some form of calculation by thinking how much it is to gain if only he can make the deposit and be able to withdraw the amount he 'has' in his own account. Unfortunately, the moment the sent amount reaches one confirmation which would happen now in matter of minutes, there is nothing else that can be done again.

You have done well by bring some additional publicity and might have saved someone in the process.

open scam accusation, link it in new flag and go on
it's only method for stop scammers

solution is cooperate and help together (forum function is cooperate)

This is another scam site exposure, this publicity will warn people and might one of their victim. OP, has a great job and bringing here this very informative statement. I never heard this gambling site before and I think they must put into in our ignore lists and avoid this gambling platform that wanted to scam people. Open scam accusation for them is the best way to get inform crypto enthusiasts gamblers.

There is a thread in the scam accusations board dedicated to this kind of scam - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5081286.0
I see someone has already reported the domain there (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5081286.msg51950540#msg51950540)

When you come across such domains, just report them to that thread and the report the scam post to moderators, They get nuked within hours. That's how we fight these scammers.

I can still vividly remembered what they did tonne back in 2017 with their ponzi scheme on FB and I feel flat for the scam and they ate my raw, but thanks to this forum, they actually nurtured me to understand the skills of decerning what is outright and what is hidden. Nigerian scam are outdated scam and not somebody here will fall for their scam.

I will be reporting over in the scam report. I just signed up again with a new email. Imagine my surprise when I won again on my third try.

So, I went to the screen to "deposit". They have had 0.18 of BTC into their wallet. So they have suckered a few. https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/17nu2zVJGjaLHvQddAZ9tkdWkjNYRoGKBg

More new screenshots.

There is no point of trying this again and again, the result will be the same. It will repeat the same pattern again and again. After moving this to scam board then it should be warned for players around. I heard of similar things here when players do around make a deposit again and again yet there is nothing can be done. Because they will never pay you guys out. Hope there will be no players getting scammed again

True also if they don't have any existing account here isn't there an account that was used to make any post or place any advert about them here on the forum.
Scam accusation need more hard handedness not just to advice about not falling for it but put a red mark to anyone promoting or supporting scam project consciously

People should be aware of their activities so OP should really move it to scam accusations board. Though not all users are heading to that section, still it is better to warn users about such shady business.

Oh my, I never realized that this type of scans still exist and people really fall into them. As for as OP I can say he did not pay so he was a safe and good thing that you posted this here because there are a lot of newbies who does not know about this type of old scams. But in your screenshot, there were people playing in that Casino so there is a lot of chance that they will get some I am from the uses. There is nothing we can do right now bye all we can do is want every one with this thread.

I've seen a few days ago people often talked about online gambling sites, cryptoroulette.world (https://cryptoroulette.world/) Scam.
Everyone who plays on this site feels disappointed never to be paid either in the form of Eth or Btc.
I can suggest to online gambling addicts to be more cautious in the future, if there is a lure of big profits finally deceived.
I can provide other evidence about: cryptoroulette.world (https://cryptoroulette.world/) scam.

cryptoplay.world and cryptoroulette.world is a scam. Users beware (https://steemit.com/scam/@yanilkr/cryptoplay-world-is-a-scam-users-beware)

Do not be easily hooked big profits on online gambling sites, directly transfer money or coins, the tip is cheated. Now many gambling sites are deceptive, careful, consider before going.
