Bitcoin Forum

Today I received a message from someone. He says he is the moderator of a gambling website, so he can make me a winner! This is a trap, he is trying to trap people by making tempting offers. Newbies need to keep in mind that there is no such thing as a sure way to win. So you should not be attracted to such tempting offers and earn by working in the right way.

You have pulled this case on the forum so that more people will know that scams like this will continue to send messages to some people not just you, when looking at this thread especially for beginners they will realize that their offer is just a trap by winning after doing deposit and actually this is an old trick but one day the scammers will definitely come back with the same thing, therefore no gambling site can win, especially controlled by a moderator who claims to be a bet regulator. This is very stupid for a con artist. LOL

Oh, that is really tempting for new users and I am sure they will follow that step. The offers are good to be true because no one will offer you like that.

No moderator will do like that and if you get something like that, that will be fake and you will get scam. In that scenario, he does not ask his friend or can create an alias using another IP to get the money. I hope people will realize that the scammer will do many ways and trying to convince them to steal their money.

Maybe you should also post the same one on the scam accusation board so that more people will be able to know about it. Plus this is actually very important to only try sites which are actually very involved with people as a whole on the forum and as you can see that " transfer is prohibited ", therefore one should not even think about opening this and getting engaged in it.
- Do not deposit anything
- please report this site
- refrain from using such sites
- not everything like this is going to be true therefore newbies should be really careful about such things
Thank you for sharing.

Yes, that's a trap. I've heard of the same tactic and offer before when a moderator approaches you and tells that they are a moderator or working for a casino and can give you the advantage of winning through an x-deal.

But after you deposit, they'll never to approach you again or if they do. Then, they're going to delay it and it some reasons why you have to wait or have it delayed and until you'll realize that you've been scammed.

Scammers always talk about giving back something big which is really unrealistic. Because the more tempting offers scammers make, the more people are attracted to those offers. As a result, scammers are constantly carrying out such activities. Newbies should update themselves over time so that they are not attracted to any kind of fake offers. And they will be able to verify which is a fake website and which is a real website.

You are really doing great job @OP by exposing all the scam projects running out on the internet and meanwhile warning the new and old gamblers to be aware about such scammy projects and websites.Scammers these days are using new ways of fooling people for the funds and what is most surprising that they have victim's all the time.Whenever you are getting something free of cost the greed factor pushes you to get trapped into scammers hands which is where you loose your funds or secret details.Always try to investigate the matter and if you find something phisshy going on report them to moderators or post them in scam and accusation board of this forum.This will help others to be safe and create a healthy gambling environment.

and looking at the stats of the website, do you think they have that amount of bankroll to pay those winners? i believe those winners below are also manipulated by the owner of this site, and the list goes on-

https://i.imgur.com/OTwo2xM.png

don't be deceived by the numbers shown on their site, as it seems they are fake numbers to attract naive users. this is a never-heard gambling site, not even trustpilot has listed feedback on them.

Obviously, that kind of message is a 100% scam. No one could guarantee a win in gambling,  so that's an automatic ignore for me. I have not sue this site before, if it's a gambling site, I think the name of the website looks like a Ponzi scheme.

I visited the site and the UI doesn't look competitive at all.

Thanks for sharing OP.. I hope it would help the newbies if they will receive this kind of message.

Whenever you try with a new gambling site, it is good to have a cross-check of the domain. This kind of problem easily makes people loss their private keys and losses fund. When you get into a phising site, it request for sign-up/register. Here the data we provide will be tried with other websites and our balance will be stolen. Good is to use advanced features like 2FA security.

Scammers look for new blood especially on social media, the gambling scams have no borders. I have fallen to a similar scam on telegram, someone messaged me and asked me to register under his referral to claim a free 200% bonus without further conditions. Registered and got the free bonus but for withdrawing the balance I have to deposit a minimum of 0.1BTC and he told me to deposit this required amount. He was going to make me the winner on house games, so I can triple the deposit amount. :D Of course, I have deleted account credentials and never look back.

I also received a message on telegram with the same story and that guy claimed that he has the administrator privileges and he can change any game's results. Then that guy asked me to sign up for a demo, I did it. He asked my username and told me next game's results that I am going to win it and I did. But I did not deposit there for real and relaxed when I saw that he was trying to use my credentials to login to another gambling website, he knew I am available at.

Thanks for the heads-up, and yes this is an obvious scam and I'm sure you are familiar with these schemes. But there are still gullible individual who are greedy and didn't think logically that can still fall for it. There's no way a legit website, with it's moderator messaging everyone for a cut on the winnings. He/she can do it as he/she can have accessed and steal the money. And the one that they can victimised here is newbie.

We can't do much if people outside the forum fall for it, they didn't know better and they are too privileged and too sloppy with their security that they don't bother researching about the website's legitimacy before playing in it, I am sure that the Internet has something to say about almost any website out there.

^ Definitely right.
This is fun not until you get to the point that you had like to withdraw you have won. Surprises and exciting offers are there though!
This is not an unusual thing, if a moderator took time to get in touch with people directly, then trust me you are on the track you never wanted to get involved. Do you have any updates on your conversation? How did the conversation go through? At which stage of the conversation are you at now? Is he offering you anything now? Let us know so we can assess and expose the website’s modus in full.

This is one of the old tricks and I think in the forum no one is going to fall for it.The only people who were scammed were outside of the forum and the scam led them here to tell their different stories from cloud mining to gambling scams.Every single user who reads the forum daily knows that these are just poorly made scam attempts.

I don't give importance on those kind of messages comes to my inbox , actually i manage to block them all and report instantly without any question , i don't even entertain them with single word.
But thanks that you shared that here because surely Newbies with greed attitude will simply fall from this .

you are right, it looks like the impostor has run out of his mind to carry out his action so inevitably he has to use the old and common trick to trick his victims  ;D, but to be honest, if a trick like this has become a virus that spreads and everyone has known about it but still there are some people who are trapped and become victims of these scams, I think we should continue to disseminate news of scams like this so that people will be more vigilant and can avoid this kind of fraud, to be honest some of my friends have even lost some money due to their greed and ignorance of fraudulent schemes like this. :'(

Well, a gambling platform that lets moderators choose its winners itself isn't really a gambling platform anymore, it's just a home for scammers to scam people. Honestly, the first thing that came up to me was that the man was using the gambling site as a way to scam people, the site itself wasn't really a scam but rather legit since honestly, people doing the exact same thing have done so for the past years, doing it again seems kinda stupid. Turns out I overestimated their intelligence.

still it is . i have tried playing in a gambling site where mods can choose a winner .
the game needs to be played fairly and mods cant randomly pick who ever they like to win the game but its only a mini game from the public chat and to thier forum . moderators dont have the power to manipulate the whole game

its a real gambling site. it has records and the url is working when you visit it but it was scam because the moment you deposit your money will be gone .
 i will believe if the moderator that message the op will provide the money first but he wont do it of course .

This website is still active. As a result of which the risk for newbie is increasing day by day, they need to be warned to save them from the trap of this website. They are using other ways including telegram and they are sharing tempting offers so that newbies fall into the trap they have created.


Right. The moderator has no power to make anyone a winner in a game. Due to the lack of understanding of newbies, many do not understand the purpose of such messages.

Ever wonder if that fellow is capable enough to make someone a winner, wouldn't he ask his distant relatives to try this trick and make money out of it? So whenever you see such kind of offers in the internet, stay out of that!

There is one simple rule, if someone has found a way to make a lot of money and he wants to sell that method to others, it's a clear scam! No one will be interested in letting others know his secret of fortune, even if against a monetary benefit. Good catch!

The offer is too good to be true, why would he wants to share his earnings with a stranger, if this happens to me and I have that amount I will ask a friend to help me out when it comes to things like this do not trust a total stranger, there is no such thing as easy money in the internet, nobody will share you their money here, you have to be realistic, there's too many scamming going on in the internet.

There are some instances that happens to be that someone does give money on the Internet which is pretty shitty since people are going to get confused because they might be missing out on something instead of getting scammed. But @smyslov is right, we have to be careful and always consider anything that gives money on the Internet as a scam unless a lot of people refute your claims.

That's is true. If he is asking to win against the casino that he's working, he shouldn't look for any other people. But instead, he should ask his relatives to join him with what he's trying to do and make both of them rich.

What would be the reaction of that scammer if that's what you're going to tell him? I think that he'll change the topic and would say that you're the one that's very much deserving than his relatives.  :P

If something sounds to good to be true then its actually a scam. I havent encountered such scheme but its obvious that they are just trying to lure you to make out deposit on the site

trying to convince you that you would really win on a certain game but the truth once you do deposit then they would completely block you and your money is gone.

With just using up your own common sense then you can eventually tell that this one is a scam on first encounter but if you do make or let yourself greedy then
you would just simply ignore it.

That was an old scam tactic but since there are newbies day by day, these fraudsters can still put someone in the trap.

I've remembered lots of the same threads about this and I hope that spread awareness to the community especially those newbies that no doubt, some can easily fall on that sh*t. But still, I'm amazed at some newbies that know how to use their common sense. I hope more and more will be like that as scamming activities, especially in the world of gambling, won't end nor be stopped.

It's a sure win programmed by them. After that, they will ask you to deposit a specific amount just to be able to withdraw the amount.

And the website seems using an API that's why the chatbox looks like having a real conversation but the live feed was on another source. I thought sites like that don't exist anymore as before, there are lots of the same sites that being taken down and site owners will just change the URL and promote their scam attempt again.


Hopefully, with how crypto gambling evolves over several years, people are now aware of any scam attempt. Some newbies might be new to crypto gambling but not totally newbie in knowledge about scam attempts.

Telegram and other messaging service became the breeding grounds for these scammers and victims alike. I would suggest that you don't make it known to strangers that you're either connected to crypto or gambling itself because these are the parameters these thieves are setting to choose who they would scam or not scam during their operations. Plus it keeps you secure from hackers too.

It's always my habit to ride a conversation like that wherever I received it on my Telegram. I will do some exchange of messages acting like I'm interested then later on I will laugh at that scammer after they explained what to do. :D

I know newbies won't fall into that obvious trap easily or if they are in question, they will seek advice from others first. I've remembered a thread where a user was asked by some random strangers to register and play on the site and the user won as promised. But when attempted to withdraw, the system told the user to deposit first so the user created a thread here and ask the community's pulse about it.

I do have this kind of behavior whenever i do received with these kind of messages and other scam attempts on my TG and other social media mediums where if i do have some time
to spent or waste then i do get along with scammers attempt and as if im really interested on said offer and trying to be that eager on making a deposit and when the time

the conversation is going into the point where money is already on the talks then i do usually say fuck off and not a bad try to scam someone. haha.
Common sense is really needed on these kind of times.

It's a scam site that uses the gambling platform to scam people I have encountered this scheme two years ago, yes it's an old scammer's method to scam people, they tempt you with big amount, just lucky I did a research on this and find out it's a scam, there's no logic in collaborating with unknown people if that moderator can do that then he will let his relative take the huge amount.
Two things that you should remember here on the internet, there's no such thing as free money, and do not trust a stranger on a too good to be true offer, 100% it's a scam.

Scammers are really using everything that they can just to get some money.
People just need to remember to DYOR and if it's too good to be true there is a high chance that it is a scam.
Always remember to DYOR before sending money specially if the site was just recommended by stranger's.

scammers will always find a way how to screw gullible users. that's how they are earning money for themselves. they don't care if they are screwing your life's savings. as long as they can deceive users, they will do it. maybe, users from the forum can easily spot such scamming technique. however, outside the forum, especially newbies, those are easy targets of these scam sites. they will only realise that they got scammed after they sent money.
one way also to check is use the  trustpilot service  (https://www.trustpilot.com/), if they have existing bad feedback from users, you can see it. but since this is new, you may not find any.
and from my earlier post here, the stats are really dubious. for a new site to pay thousands of $s for these winners, and everyday?

Yes, you are right I reviewed the goldxbtc.com gambling site, it looks like they have not finished making their gambling site to bet on this is evident from their website is empty.

https://www.gositestat.com/site/goldxbtc.com

And also from that ID the admin's name is still kept secret, meaning that the goldxbtc.com site is not officially operational yet.

Looks like the gambling site that sent you the message is a clone of goldxbtc.com.


Hopefully no one is deceived by the manipulating / fake goldxbtc.com gambling site.

You could verify instantly if it is a trap or not when they come too strong in the beginning, no one would slap you in the face that you could make a fortune by just doing a very simple task but it involves money, that's way too fishy and skeptical in the highest level. But I don't know why there is a lot of people who are getting fooled by scammers. It's an obvious scam but people still choose to risk their money.

The risking of money when it comes to scam isn't the first priority, they have to make the users too greedy to back away first so it has a higher chance of catching victims, that's why there is a lot that still falls for this kind of scam because scams are evolving, what we can do is be more vigilant in the future.

Yup, it would continue to evolve once a certain scheme would bust up then these scammers would always come up with a new idea to hook up people specially those greedy ones
because people do easily get fascinated when you do let them see on how to earn money or profits on most possible easiest way that they could be and where human
greed do easily snap on and make out mistakes like this which is a bit common. I agree on others been saying that only your common sense would save you
in situations like this.

Even if the scheme is busted, they will continue to use it, just wrap it differently and some possible victims might never catch on with the fact that it is the same old scheme. Look at the Runescape doubling scam, it was adapted by many scammers but they put their own flavor as to how they are going to execute the scam. Another problem is thatthese scammers are always following the latest technology.

Greedy people will choose to risk their money like this because they are hoping for an easy money and will regret it later on as they fall into a scammers. We all know how gambling works and there's no moderator or anyone that can make you a winner easily, better not to entertain those attempt and just gamble to have fun, don't be greedy because gambling is not a way for easy money.

This is really a tempting offer and a whole lot of persons has lost fortune from scammers who disguise themselves in this format. But from the images it would be difficult to dictate if such a person is really a scammer or not and so many might give in to his offer since it looks very real and welcoming.

Where did you receive this message? It would be better to warn everyone here whether this message is spreading through email, Telegram, Facebook, etc so that they would immediately ignore and delete it.

I have also received a PM from somebody who introduced himself as a staff from Stake.com. I got the PM in Telegram.

Crypto gamblers should ignore personal communication from anybody if they are not expecting it.

I've experienced this before, Someone is trying to collaborate with me about the same thing. After checking the site, I figured out that it is a scam/fake casino knowing that it is nearly brand new and there's nothing information about them on the internet, I also explored their casino and try verifying the wins showed but it's on the offside. Just the basic clues.

Too good to be true offers like these should be investigated first, A shady backdoor collaboration like on the OP wouldn't really happen in real life. The supposed moderator can easily collaborate with his family if it is real than finding random stranger on telegram  ::)

Do not doubt the intention they are really trying to scam, before you can withdraw that amount they will ask you first to make a deposit, there's no such thing as free money here, this is very similar to the emails you received in the olden days about the inheritance stuff, this time they are using a gambling platform, people will get into a trap if they believe in something that is too good to be true.

Here's an example of a user that can easily fall into the trap. There's no such thing as "difficult" if you will let your common sense do the job for you. Just by analyzing carefully what's the offer, you should have an obvious approach.

I suggest becoming more vigilant about what you encounter on the internet.


It's on Telegram based on the screenshot posted. But anyhow, the approach should always be the same whatever the platform used is by these scammers.

For some reason, it seems that Telegram is a very popular platform among these scammers. It's not the first time someone shares such an experience about an offer to bet on rigged games, where the person in the chat allegedly knows the outcome.
But no matter, the important thing here is critical thinking, which many people avoid (if these spammers keep attracting users, this means sometimes these schemes work!).
People should analyze: Why would that person suggest collab and risk discovering this unlawful activity for 50%, when he can take the whole 100%?
But they just ignore that, which is why, I think, the best option here is don't even open these chats and directly block when someone sees smth of the sort, this will rid people of temptation, powered by greed.

There is a thread listing all scammy crypto casinos and sportsbooks. This one should be added to this list obviously.
🔻 List of Casinos and Sportbooks to Avoid (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5283832)

It's better and more convenient to keep only one thread updated to centralize all bad actors on one single list, in order to let gambling section members finding more easily the gambling sites to avoid or to be wary of.

That IP address has a relationship to another gambling site;

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/172.67.220.130/relations


We must far away from those in the relationship, possible they can use the same thing to try scamming us.

A lots of scams site (gambling and casinos) available in cryptocurrencies. Coins777 is the best scam gambling site.  Many people victim coins777 seems alternative of 777coins . 777coins a popular and secured gambling site but coins777 scams cheating site.
