Hi guys I want to ask if this website https://funxbets.com/  scam or legit???

Update: Based on many responses and also from my friend told me its a scam website, Stay away from this SCAM.

m
I don't find any announcement thread they own here so members here will hard to give you right review about this gambling websites .

I suggest if you plan to try that website try to only deposit small amount , you can also found many review online but i don't think it can be trusted since they can also be paid for reviewing it. Any reason why you are asking?

I will say it's more likely to scam, I can't remember but I've seen similar UI and feel. And as per the domain name, it's still very young.


https://whois.domaintools.com/funxbets.com

so just a word of caution, stay away from this site.

It's just too new and besides even on search engines they seems rare to be found mabe not good enough SEO. It's too early to judge them but if I were you try to stay away with it as they don't have enough reviews.

Upong checking them at https://who.is it seems the site was new https://who.is/whois/funxbets.com. and it seems they are scammy looking at those huge wins and besides I find it as well that there's an old site called https://funxbet.com. Don't know if I was just a coincidence to almost copy the domain name but I suggest really to stay away.

Lots of gambling sites now but I suggest you go with the sites that have already existed for years and make sure they have an ANN thread in the forum, that will help you find real feedback about the site, this one seems new so it could be legit but the risk is high as anytime like any new sites they could disappear.

Exactly. Why try to play at risk with these new one if you can find some gambling site or casino that already have good reputation, old and proven and has the same gambling games with these new that just by the looks isn't that trustworthy. I don't think it's legit from the looks of it and seems those wins are fraud and just want to hook the noobs to try the site.

Well, it's too early to judge but I think staying away on them is the most and safe move as of right now until we see positive and real feedback of the site.

The minimum amount to deposit is $100. Good luck with finding more players! And I checked their games, way too simple, but some people bet a hundred of dollars, and if I may say too many names for such young site with minimum $100 deposit? Well if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck!
I don't see any good reason for even trying this casino! With so many reputable casinos here, with more games and great promotions, there's no need to taking unnecessary risk and trying this casino!

I tried to find more reviews about funxbets. Found nothing important but general information; users from USA can't create accounts and according the available languages (English, Farsi) i guess the site is somehow related to Iran. Thant's strange because gambling activities are not regulated by the Iranian islamic legislations.
OP has to forget about this house for the reasons mentioned in previous posts. I can guess that he is just asking about this strange website and not really willing to try it. Great to point things out about it here to help others who may do searches about it .

the site is new and that should be the reason why they dont have an ann thread on this forum because i notice that old and really old sites are late to create an ann thread or late to run an awareness campaign on this forum .

minimum depo amount is too big , they should lower it or remove the minimum depo amount so that players can play conviniently .

  i check the site , loads fast but there is that countdown , i dont know what does that mean but together with its display , it reminds me of the scam sites that i visites on the past . and one more thing @op your signature is more interesting than this site :)

I think this topic deserve on scam accusations too? I'm not quite sure. Okay btw they already give the date started hosting the website and this is just a recently platform if you does not have any knowledge regarding with this I think it's better to avoid this website. Come on don't get deal with your curiosity also it's better if you code the link to prevent make it click by the other members.

Right now I search with this website and it does not give me a good review. Just prevent it if you are not sure.

Scam accusation? It would be better if this would be on reputation i guess yet theres no current or past complaints about this website neither it didnt pay someone or having shady activities on the site

but since this is quite new then its no surprise that we wont see any information in regards to this site but one thing i had noticed that i tried to visit out the site that i do really have the feels that

those players that do betting on the game are just bots or just show-offs.No one will bet out just like that on very big bucks or amounts per round.Hence, in spite on having lots of that online

players on that indicator, you cant see any one chatting on the chatbox and also if this is new then its really rare to see those numbers.I would definitely skip this one for now.

Several searches on this forum about the gambling site funxbets.com lead to scam or not, I did not find it, I am not familiar with the funxbets.com gambling site, so I can't say anything bad about this site.

OP, have you played on the funxbets.com site, if not, you should be able to see some of the gambling sites on this forum with a good reputation at this time.

For example:
Topic: Updated list of gambling websites (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=797299.0)

Topic: Best gambling site (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197393.0)

For that, if possible I suggest that if you are a gambling player, use the gambling site on this forum.
The reason;
For the future, if you are wrong or odd in the game, you can ask in this forum, suppose you use a gambling site on this forum.

However, for it all depends on you in assessing.

Good luck on depositing a minimum of $100. First glance of it seems it was rushed and I think I've seen the same interface before. Some of the reputable and known casinos doesn't have a minimum deposit or if have some maybe $10 or something but this casino is asking for a $100. I suggest to stay away from this casino and if you are really interested on playing just play on reputable gambling sites there's a lot of them.

I wonder why someone will choose to use or even ask information about a 17days old gambling site which doesn't even have an ANN thread on this forum with the so many reputable and honest gambling site we have on this forum. Besides, the list and the UX/UI of the site is too cheat for the site not to be a scam.

Its not promoted here in the forum. I don't think this will also make the casino popular even if this isn't a scam and it will die eventually.

But then if its a scam, it should have been reported as well. So far there isn't an accusation yet. You'd rather be just avoiding it if you don't wanna end up creating the first thread to accuse it of scam.

Very funny. I never found a site that had a minimal deposit as much as $100 and finally the OP should be careful with this site and it's good to avoid from these site.

There is no information about the site in the forum and I never found it before. The OP was the first to ask about the site and I don't know what the OP's real purpose is. As a gambler, I know people will choose well-known and trusted site even if they are new gambler. We are never short of reliable gambling site and they are counting.

Yes, they seem to use a provably fair algorithm https://funxbets.com/provably-fair but it's not a guarantee against exit scams or withdrawal issues, so it's better to be careful and to not gamble big amounts on these kind of sites.

It was made last month, it's kinda new. I would avoid it. Is fine to look at it but I'll never deposit any amount on it. The latest games shows that they have most deposits around $100+. Isn't that something suspicious why it's like that? While in most casinos, even the smallest and slightest bets were posted as long as it's in for the minimum required deposit.

How did you encounter the site? Can't even found it via a single search on the web. Scam or not, why use a site that isn't popular or well-established?

I'm not even sure if the number of online users is legit.

And $100 minimum deposit is horrible. Too greedy.

I'm not 100% sure whether this site is legit or not but at least you have to be careful...
for what reason would you risk betting there when many trusted betting sites on this forum. here many gambling sites offer low deposits even under $ 10. too risky for you to choose that site, better just play safe.

Is not a scam until they run with the money of the users... i can see it happening... The trust of the site right now is 20% as we can see on this page:

https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/funxbets.com

So, i'm not saying they are scammers, but the site looks really fake to me, 400 users online, and lot of them winning big? that's really weird for a new casino. And the most important thing is they don't have a gambling licence, so, maybe they are provably fair but without a license they are operated in the illegal way.

Or is the OP part of this site? Or someone that is related to the funxbet team?
Anyway, it is hard to trust new site. Better play on reputable casinos here in the forum.
And it is better to go to casinos with respective thread here in the forum, so if anything goes wrong, you can easily reach them.
But without account or thread here, people will have hard time helping you if you got screwed by them.

At the moment, it says 409 online but the players on the right side says 6.
So I don't understand if their numbers are real here as well.

Always take caution on a new gambling site and don’t fall for them easily even if they promise a higher reward on your first deposit, I’m not saying all new gambling site is a scam but since many projects turns into scam, its better to wait for more details before playing.

I’ll leave it here, I’ll not play on this site because of this, this is too much.

Minimum $100 for deposit? Lol, I would rather used it to do some trading or even bet on sport bookies that is reputable instead of trying a new site that has no reputation and looks very shady. New site and even most gamblers here never heard of this site, so I will echo the sentiments of most experienced players here don't play and don't take that risk.

Likely a scam. I think I've seen a layout before.

Chats don't look generic. Look like it was copied from other sites to make it more legit.

And how you stumbled upon that site. You are shilling it I guess.

Thanks for the response guys I ask this question because my friend of mine asking also to me because he tried to deposit 100 usd and won like 3000+ usd and he said after trying to withdraw its says you need to deposit 250 usd which is very unlikely I already told him its a scam and stay away from that site. Im not affiliated with this website Im just asking an opinion to others.

That is a sign if that site is a scam because your friend already deposits $100, and coincidentally, your friend can win $3000+, but he needs to deposit $250. Maybe you can suggest your friend select on the recommended gambling websites because he will not face that experience in the future. Besides that, he doesn't have to deposit in a big amount on every gambling site he played. And for you, you should stay away from that site and never use it for playing gambling.

I doubted with this link it's better if you are trying to visiting an unfamiliar website because sometimes hacking and phishing are starting with those kinds of unfamiliar links.


Those statements I think the OP got an idea there is no website giving a free money by just investing a small amount of earning because this is automatically a scam.

I think the objective of your friend is you are the beta test if the website is legit or not take care of this kind of strategy.

Honestly it's hard to conclude if the site is scam, maybe we just have to be aware that playing in a non reputable casino bears a high risk, so instead of playing in a new casino, why not look around in the forum and go with the reputable ones, problem solve for you.

First of all , if you look how the site shows there is a lot of bets made in their running betting history and mostly shows a huge amount of money like $100 , $400 and higher , easy to sum this up from just the first impression.
I guess OP you got a telegram message too hmm? As few weeks ago i got a random message from someone who called himself as a jonathan telling me that he has something to offer , in short i just followed his game which i knew it would leads only into a bullshit scam attempt, they ask me to create an account at funxbet and he will fund me with exclusive bonus as he claimed he is the main developer of the site and he can do anything without administration permission which yeah this makes the scam game for me even more ridiculous to follow , i just decided to block and report this poor jonathan.

My advice is to stay away, completely a bullshit site. Better to go for a well known one around here.

If that's what has been said, sorry to tell you and your friend that don't put any hope with it. Your friend has been scammed by $100 and that win of $3000+ is just a bluff to make him feel regret that he shouldn't let it pass and the pursue the need to deposit again with another $250.
Don't be fooled by such websites that are asking this another requirement but it's never been asked by a legit casino if you're eligible to withdraw and if you have reached the threshold for withdrawal.

With that requirement, the site is obviously trying to scam a gambler. Don't deposit and just let go of your loses, at least that lose can be minimize than adding more insult to the injury your friend had already suffered. Lesson learn, we should carefully evaluate the site's reputation before depositing money as there's a chance that we can not withdraw it anymore.

I am not stating that the site is scam but my opinion on how I see the site is it looks like it is going to scam gamblers base on the data from who is. The domane age is still young and you should avoid it. Better find reputed gambling site if you wanted to gamble safe. Check the sites FAQ and their claims like there is a player who won which makes them suspicious. Young domain name but there are winners already hmm i don't think so

Looks like a scam. Nothing about the casino anywhere. No review nothing. But did find some reviews about funxbet.com (no "s" at the end). So a casino with almost the same name of another casino does not sound like legit casino at all, other than a bait site to scam users trying to access funxbets. Avoid that casino. And $100 minimum deposit is absurd. More red flags!
Why don't you try one of the well known crypto casinos? There are tons in the gambling section. Check them out.

I got 2 messages a few days ago from someone on telegram lol.
he told me that he is a moderator of a crypto jackpot site, which is funxbets.com.
bellow is the transcripts of my conversations on telegram.

https://i.imgur.com/UYChThg.jpg

and, when I got another identical message, I trolled him with this line ;D

https://i.imgur.com/1PoMao1.jpg

I didn't count, but I got more than 10 similar messages on telegram, from people who claim similar things! It's always about some deposit, and some big win (jackpot)! Usually that happens after some chat in some crypto gambling oriented group. Well its telegram, and after asking some questions I always get new messages from people who can "help me". Doesn't matter if it's gambling, trading, or anything else, when they see you active there you will receive some offers! Like you in these pictures, sometimes I answer that I am interested just to see their plans... but it's sometimes, usually I just click delete chat!

I would not trust this site as it does not yet have a reputation and the amount for the deposit is large enough to lose if it is a fraud. If the casino does not have a reputation, it tries to earn it with various promotions, giveaways and contests. In this case, I do not see anything like this.

If the links are suspicious, I will not click it because I am too worry if somehow, the website contains malware that can penetrate my computer. We don't know how they can get inside our computers, but they are smarter than us. So it's better to be careful with the unknown links that we don't know.

If I were him, I would explain to my friend that no website or something will give free money without doing something or just investing a small amount. Usually, if we want to join with the investment program, we need to deposit some medium amount to get a return from the investment. But if the amount is small, we need to be careful.

Yes. That is a clear sign that said casinos is just trying to scam.

AFAIK, there's no such website that can do that unless you're the one voluntarily downloaded something from that website. But by just visiting it even it's a not secured website, you'll get nothing until you click some decoy buttons that serves a launch button, that's where you'll get started to download a malware and make your pc infected.

We don't know about that because many people are just clicking the link in their email, social media, or else without thinking about the malware. Visiting on the website can make us a target for them, and they can track what we use or what we did. I don't know much about security, malware, or how the malware can search for the way to go inside my computer. But maybe you are right.

I cannot say whether this website is scam or not as it is pretty new. I did not find any archive information which means this is a fresh domain.

http://web-old.archive.org/web/*/https://funxbets.com/

I do see some traffic on the website but it is hard to tell whether they are bots or real members. As per the comment on this topic there no ANN and it may be possible they are in the process of creating one. I would recommend you to stay away from this website until more information are found.

It is what I think, if there's nothing you have installed through those malicious link, I think the PCs clean. Unless you press a button that's being labeled with another function just to fool visitors. Well, just to end it, never click any of them and this is going nowhere as OP has already provided detailed information that it's a scam.

It's a scam.

It's quite new so it will be good if you will avoid using it or if you are going to use it you should take an extra caution like you will not deposit
a huge amount of money.

You should only deposit what you can afford to loss so it will not be painful if in case they will scam you at the end of the road. There are many reputed
casino platforms that have those games that are available in funxbets so it will be wise if you will just avoid in using it and proceed only to a reputable
casino platform if you want to play safely.

That kind of thinking should be erased. Care for your money mate.

Are you willing to just deposit and deposit to the site that is unknown just because you afford to lose that amount?

Why waste your deposit if you can put it up on a much legitimate site? You should just put a risk on a reputable site rather than take chances on those new sites that aren't popular or didn't establish yet any reviews.

this alone is enough to prove that they are a scam gambling site. no reputable or serious online gambling site will ask for a for money in order for you to withdraw the money that you have won.

also, searching through the web for a possible review for the website funxbets I came across this website https://www.funxbet.com (it's my first time seeing funxbet) I am not sure if the two websites are related or not but funxbet is a lot older than funxbets.

https://i.imgur.com/ILZXTPm.png

Do you really believe that these bets or players we're real? I think not.
Bets arent even verifiable and everything is so fake.
So better stay away if i were you.

The players of this website are betting enormous amounts and I don't think that a new website can have such high rollers so quick there. I can't say they are scam, but the users don't seem to be real, so don't play here. You can try brawlers, or there are many gambling websites with similar games.

It's a scam website. There's one scenario where op have explained that his friend deposited an amount and won a huge amount, then what happened next was that this casino asked for more deposits. And with that approach, we can conclude that it's a strategy of scamming people which happens to a scam exchange or airdrop/bounty which requires them to deposit. See the quote below.

That was escalated quickly, I have expected the debate will go for a little bit more. New gamblers should avoid depositing in such websites, the common scam machine has the same methods for scamming the users. Letting to win for a long time and when the user sends a request to withdraw they block the account and ask for an additional amount for processing the withdrawal. Telegram scammers also advertise the scam roulette website that victims can choose any number on the table and boom. The 36x win is very lucrative to convince the inexperienced user to deposit, no one gonna asks on the forum unless they get scammed.

Those players probably are just one of their own trying to look like they had a bigger player or a potential bettors but nope, don't trust with them easily. If this website doesn't have an announcement thread here then they are most likely a scam site. A quick research on the internet is always the best practice we can do in order for us to avoid the hassle. Hackers and scammers are getting smarter everyday that's why we should be vigilant when it comes to our own money.

I encountered this type of website in the past [same looking website with same users making big bets but it all looked fishy]. So many users complained about that website that they were getting scammed by depositing and then getting their accounts frozen by the admin when they won some big USD values. The way that roller didn't even move but stopped to a name quickly should ring the bells of the mind of an aware user that this site is an obvious scam.

It's clear funbets are scam, because gambling sites that ask for a deposit first when we are going to make a withdrawal,
one of the characteristics of fraud. Therefore be careful in choosing gambling sites, always do some research before deciding
to join specific gambling sites. Especially the new gambling site, which has no reviews anywhere, I will avoid playing on gambling
sites like that. Because there are still many choices of gambling sites that are trusted, legitimate and have a good reputation.

It's asking for a $100 deposit??? Scam bro. Just the amount itself already screams of the fact that "I AM A SCAM, BUT YOU'RE AN IDIOT SO GIVE ME MONEY" kind of stupidity. Who in their right minds would deposit $100 just to activate the withdrawal system? If it were $1, maybe max $5, it'd actually be understandable, but it's not. Yes, some sites ask for deposits before being able to withdraw, but it's mainly because they provide free giveaways that players can enjoy, and said deposits don't exceed $5 even.

There's also the issue that the site is 17 years old. Not that I'm telling it's a scam 100%, but the chances are high.

I take a quick look on their website and the amount played it's a non sense (thousands of "dollars" played each 2 minutes in brand new/unknown betting site .... sounds too strange to me....)
By the way, I am not sure this is a real betting web site. however it seems you can't withdraw real money but just playing with this virtual currency.


For sure if they ask to deposit cryptocurrency in order to get verified, this is definitely a scam .

The newness of the gambling platform IMO can be a resemblance of some exit scams that has been reported in the past. Why trust any gambling platform without a good review and reputation? So, gambling on such platform's should be a risk take on the side of the gambler. Seeking a deposit before withdrawal looks shading and untrustworthy, so, gamble with care.

Why comes you interested in this newly created gambling site in which seems to be scammy?because account like you looks like mature
enough to understand what you are asking here?

like what above says the site created not even a month and looks like there are same from the past that has been posted here
 i just can't remember but same thing from this one.
that is exactly the point here when there are tons of Casino sites exist in this forum and outside that can be played without any
trouble and second thoughts.

It didn't escalated that fast. You only have to read through the thread and look for the posts of OP and that's where it all ended. Casinos like where OPs friend went through has to be avoided at all cost. But the problem for most newbies, they don't care checking the legitimacy of a casino. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine contacted me how he should withdraw to a website that I never heard of. It only proves that still many are going to random websites, casinos, exchanges or any crypto websites and that's the weakness of newbies which we have to remind them what they must do for countless times.

Many people will think twice to deposit $100 because that is part of big money for every gambler, and not many gamblers want to spend that money on the gambling site, which is not recommended. They prefer to use their old gambling site, even if their gambling site doesn't have the next bonus for them. $5 is an acceptable amount to be the minimum deposit for every gambler because by using $5, we can test the site before we deposit bigger money. It will be a good option if the site can give $5 for testing their site.

I couldn't found any review on google search it maybe this site is still new. If I were you, I will never think too much to avoid from this gambling site.

There is so many gambling site who uses crypto currency that has similarity with this platform and of course those gambling sites are safe for you.

And just a little suggestion, if you are crypto gambler, just pick a gambling sites who has an official account on this forum or they have an announchment from their team, so when there is something wrong when you use the platform you can make an accusation to resolve your problem.

I also received same message like the images provided in previous post. Someone asked me if i'm in cryptocurrency and I said yes then he said the same thing that I can earn money within an hour then he give me the site. So, I am sure that the site is a scam scheme. Even ask you to deposit in the site.

At least, less people will be scammed in the future after checking the website on Google and finding this thread. Actually, my only purpose is to educate the newbies on here or there, the rest is small details on the big picture. Your friend has done a smart job with asking from an experienced gambler and prevented the scam attempt by the scam casinos. I agree, not every gambler checks the legitimacy of casinos by searching the casinos' name + scam words on Google. Newbies are the main target, that is why scammer chooses the profile of the victim carefully for not increasing the possibility of scam website awareness.

The website is scam.

Maybe the reason why we couldn't find any information about this site is because it is still new. But OP already told that his friend tried to deposit a $100 and won, but he couldn't withdraw as the website is asking him to deposit more just to receive his withdrawal. So basically, it is a scam.

Yeah people often think what they can afford to lose is what they should lose which is such a bad mentality and approach for anyone. If you can save what you could afford to lose that it is basically your income.

I would definitely never deposit any money to such unknown sites being shared out of thin air with no track record and no place to verify and they show 300 members online which make me feel like they are fake because even trusted and genuine casinos fail to maintain such number of online gamblers.

Yeah and maybe that is because people think that a new casino will be more lucky for them and there will be new games but this website as far as I can see has only dice game and there is no way you have better chances of winning here than to a recognized casino. Then why risk your deposit?

Obviously, it is a scam site and the OP should open a scam accusation if not created yet, so the new gamblers will find the scam website thread after a short search. That is weird to see there are plenty of potential victims on social media, these guys keep scrolling the home pages and analyze the data for finding another victim. Collecting the personal data and using this data for lucrative promos are common methods in social engineering. I have been scammed with social engineering methods too, unfortunately.

or what if we couldnt find any info because scammers already got away and the case for this has already been closed , all reviews related to this are now removed but how can the op find this  .

 scammers that uses a tactics like this are pretty greedy because they alreeady scammed the gamblers but they want to scam them again by asking a bigger fund to be able to settle the amount  . im curious to know if there are people that will fall to this and will got scammed for the second time  and if they do , what are the next reply ? 

Do they have ANN thread in this forum? Also I see that they have around 300 players active on their website upon checking to it though we are not sure if they are real player or not. I think I haven't heard any scam accusations about them so far but if you have doubts on such casino you can just stay away from it for your safety.

Having 300 players active doesn't mean the site can not scam people. We don't know much about that casino, so we don't have to use that casino to gamble. There are many more gambling sites that we can use to gamble, and I am sure that we can play gambling. We always need to be concerned and search for the gambling site, which has a good reputation.

We don't trust because they don't have a reputation in the forum, also they don't have an ANN thread here, so it's obvious they don't want to cater questions from different posters.

What made me think that this site might not do good is their site has is similar to a sportsbook site.

https://funxbets.com/ - one in the topic.

https://www.funbet.com/sports/ - found in google and site is active.

I visit the link you gave. Hm, it is strange, but that does not impress me much because I think funbet.com is the real one and funxbets.com is not a real gambling site. We don't know the truth, and I don't know, but for sure, I don't want to bet on that both sites. I prefer to use the site that I have familiar to bet. Thank you for the info.

I was shared a similar design of website in telegram a few months back and it was a scam so this might very well be a scam too but I am not entirely sure and there are no links on google and no articles, etc so makes it feel like this is a scam in my opinion.

I won't suggest depositing any money and better to use trusted casinos when they exist and once this casino makes their own thread and bring some trust towards the community then maybe we can try them. There are also not doing any promotion or something that makes you feel like you should try them. The theme looks really similar to how a scam website was shared with me in past on telegram though.

No need to go deeper or find any reviews about the site. Should be put automatically on everyone's ignores list the moment you read this.

"The minimum amount to deposit is $100"


It was the same scam scheme you can see here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5081286.0

As usual, everyone will win a decent amount then will ask for an insane amount of deposit just to withdraw the winnings. Unfortunately, even experienced users still fall into that trap thinking it's worth a risk.

I see the same messages many times and talk to scammer and being troll talk to then what happen even given fake screenshot of transaction that I send a balance. I really like to pissed them off especially the scammer every time I receive the messages. I always change my username so they will think its different person.  As a warning, that kind of scammer are using many telegram account so even you have contact from them before there is possibilities that they were contact you again.
