ALERT!
Gibraltar Regulators warned Luckywins regarding their suspicious activity. Luckywins.io presented a false Gibraltar License and at the same time presented the players with fake bonuses. They also created probelms for the players regarding their Privacy, asked them to upload their documents on various websites, They even used the logo of the government for their own benefits and ofc the license was fake.
Therefore if anyone is on that site or is thinking about going on their site and placing few bets, I strongly suggest you not to!! This might be even worse for the players if they try and get indulged in identity thefts, please be wise and take care of which sites you are trusting.

I can't remember if I ever heard of them or not really. A casino that has faked their license, they have probably planned it all along to issue to their players that fake license.
Well, good that the Gibraltar government has issued a warning on this and they don't want users to be a victim of their shady activity of stealing their users identities.

This is so easy to do that it makes the certification from these sort of places almost worthless. We see here that even Gibraltar, which probably has a few more resources and credibility than some of the countries offering gambling licenses, really has very little in the way of enforcement powers on the vast wilderness that is the internet. What they've done is effectively sent a sternly worded letter and wagged their finger, but have little means to effect any action against this site. Sure they can warn gamblers, but people usually end up digging into this info and going to the regulator after problems have started popping up. While you can say good job for doing something compared to what other jurisdictions do (nothing), it seems like Luckywins will continue on their deceptive and fraudulent behavior as before.

Luckywins  should just be avoided going to the extreme of presenting a forged license and still making their customers upload their document for KYC verification is just a clear indication they are out to dupe any victim and definitely they are not planning on staying for too long before the abscond with people's funds.

Well, perhaps that was their plan since the start, it should be they gain reputation now because they are almost a year in service. But now --this could ruin their reputation because of forging regarding their license and some issue of gamification of games on their casino. This belongs to the dishonesty which is possible there could be manipulation on their system and take advantage of their players.
With this news, it deserved to avoid them before it's too late, that is fraudulent behavior that should we ignore --the good thing is they don't have any business here and I don't think forum members will use that casino.

What would I say, I'm lucky that I never played in this site, I'm guessing, probably it's a new site and they have no appearance in the forum ( correct me if I'm wrong). Thanks OP for a good warning, at least if the newbies would read your post, they'll be aware about the site's reputation.

^ I have been searching it already and I did not find any related to their brand name, so we are lucky that the gambling casino was not well known here.
This was a clear act of fraud and sooner or later it will become an exit scam gambling casino that is probably run away thousands of dollars and many gamblers will surely cry seeing that their fund was gone. Aside from forging licenses what else that they can do to fraud their player? They already had a fake review.

The big countries couldn't also make a fraudulent casino accountable for what they'd do due to the anonymity of these casino owners. Even if they would it's just a wild goose chase. It says Luckywins' using stolen IP code and are boldly cloning game content, they seem confident doing this stuff.

A warning to the public still is good for usual gamblers who are already aware of how to do the research.  Going over their site and found nothing really says about Gibraltar License.

Makes sense. It was probably a planned long con.

If a casino can lie about something like this, there is a good chance that they are going to rob their customers and disappear when the time is "right". So I don't know if this casino is functions but if any of you have any funds there, it is probably a wise idea to move them out now before they go "poof".

That's the right thing to do, avoid the business when they lied about something, I mean that's clearly a breach of trust from their patrons/clients, that's what I worry the most too, the identities that were submitted by the users are going to be used definitely.

I remember Luckybet.io or something, it was in 2017 wherein there were scam reports about this casino rigging their results and not sure if they are connected or not.

In any case though, it's really better for us to play on a trusted an reputable casino that we've been known for years in the casino so that we won't have any problems with any of this casino's that run with false gambling licenses.

Seem not related to Luckywins. There really isn't going to be a problem if they are asking KYC if the users are willing to send but Luckwins faking license is just not going to make people trust. I found some casino review websites about them which they are pictured to be a trustworthy casino.

Luckywins being not open to public scrutiny by having thier bitcointalk announcement thread is suspicious enough.  This thread needs to be indexed by google fast to be able to be found.

Why is Luckywins presenting a fake Gibraltar License when their site is saying that the company "operates under Master License NV4457557 granted by the Curacao?"^[1] Or did I miss something here? I was confused. Does Gibraltar not allow any casino unless it could provide a local license to operate?

Anyway, as per correctcasinos review, LuckyWins Casino is not recommended due to unclear license situation, among others.^[2] So I guess there is indeed something wrong with the legality of their entire operation.

 Never heard of them. Pretty much why I only choose one or two that are quite reputable and has a positive reputation. Though I have doubts whether they're really a suspicious activity. The fake bonuses and whatnot are indeed red flags, but looking up the Gibraltar license only gives them the capability to operate in the areas under the area of Gibraltar, so technically they faked their license for that one, but not their original license which as others have seen, is a Curacao license.

Granted though that afaik, Curacao license is rather easy to obtain without many difficulties, and they don't even regulate casinos under their name that much. It's pretty much a license in name only I think.

That is the scary thing about it because if they are capable of forging some license, then those people who passed their KYC are in serious trouble because at any moment, their info will be also used on something illegal. Let's just hope that the KYC was just a cover-up to let their users know that they were legit and delete every info they passed after it. Thanks to this kind of info, we know that KYC is not always safe when someone like this one will get every personal info we have, it's game over for us if they used it to scam people.

There are several other things that are also suspected to be fake

Luckywins’ games were provided by several B2B suppliers, many of which are reputable brands, but considering the fact that the operator provided false information on its license and offered large and likely fake bonuses, there is suspicion that the list of providers may also be misleading.
In its report, the Gaming Division stated that the operator is using stolen IP codes, as well as “illegally cloning game content.”

All the false information they mention is suspect that they are not credible and it could be that this is made to attract a lot of players after that they leave with their players' money

Upon looking upon the site. It does look legit, and it seems legit. Not just some made-up casino site that is preying for your money and never let you withdraw the balance kind. But I would never check ^{if I couldn't read this} the validity of a license of the online casino.

Is there some way that you could verify the validity of their license on your own? Maybe do it with various casinos that have those types of licenses as well?

I think this is where blockchain could come in and save the day with all the licensing issues and easily verifiable if there is.

Very disappointed with the activity of this casino. 

Anonymity and privacy are very important things on the Internet.  Requiring players to complete KYC is a disgusting thing.  Players' documents may end up on the darknet.  They can be used for illegal activities.  For example, for obtaining loans, drug dealing, etc.

Falsification of a license is also a disgusting act... 

You must play at online casinos that are advertised on the Bitcointalk forum.  They are more transparent and there is much more information about them.  Gibraltar's regulators are great!  They discovered the suspicious activity of this casino in time. 

We are timely warned of the danger.

It's all we gonna be vigilant when it comes to visiting new sites as they mostly doing crimes like this, falsification of legal document and they mean doing this difficult to find but no, they don't win and still got caught.

I agree that casinos that have been promoted in the forum are reputed sites but still, we need to check their activity as well. We can't just be confident coz even 1XBIT  is still around and doing the same, they are still promoted in here. It was a responsibility of a gambler to act cautiously and take action if there is.

So they faked everything, including government documents such as a casino license and only got a warning? Gibraltar is really lenient huh? That sounds a bit unbelievable. However if you have proof about their suspicious activities you should post this in scam accusations sub-forum rather than in gambling discussion. That seems like something that everyone should be aware of, so they can stay away from Luckywins...

This information seems a bit strange to me. I don't know exactly the law in Gibraltar, but it seems to me that if any company presented the government false documents allowing it to operate, it wouldn't just get a warning. Such a company would be closed immediately in every country.

You cannot trust a casino that is not honest on the most important feature of a casino, I don't think it's worth playing here since uploading a fake document from one government agency can get you taken down, I am not familiar with this casino, I visited the casino and there's no mention that they are accepting Cryptocurrency but it's good that OP posted it here for reference, it's risky playing here now. 

The thing is that they operate online, so it's hard to closed them down because you don't know where the operator or even the servers actually resides physically.

And that's why they are issuing this kind of warnings to everyone not to fall for this Luckywins casino because there is a chance that they people behind are fraudsters because of the fake license and fake bonus offerings.

Thank you for your the info anyway. You should withdraw all of your money for people who still have a balance on that site before it is too late to realize that they are run with your money. It is better to use the other crypto gambling site before we risk playing on that site.

Hopefully, no bad things happen to the members so they can withdraw their money. Related to those already doing KYC on that site, you can not do anything as your identity is with them and you can only hope they do not use it for the wrong thing.

I am trying to jog my memory on where I found the name of this gambling site. Perhaps, the little advertisements that was input in different articles that I have visited. It's a good thing there's a Gibraltar gaming division that checks on this kind of operations or else victims will just pile up without even knowing the reason behind it.
Wrongly used the logo of the government.  ;D Whoever did it is a newbie in underground jobs.
KYC in a different way. Wow! Unique but not safe. That's a red flag already if you are the one sending the documents.

It would make sense.
But if they presented the documents to an office in Gibraltar, then they are registered there. And if they are registered there, it means they must have an address there.
Unless it's really, all fake, and they lie with a drink on a beach in the tropics.

I agree with you, and Luckywins is dishonest if they really presented a false license and false bonuses, this sounds so bad... Like you, I am not familiar with this casino as well, I never heard about them before, I can't remember I saw them here on the forum! I wonder are there any victims of this casino... when they have a false license and bonuses I can only guess that some of their games are probably rigged, and who knows what else they could do to the players who won something there?!
Did anyone from here try this casino?

It's better to have one here and another one in the scam section because many players seldom visit the scam section, and besides it's a warning to all players, I am not aware of the existence of that casino because they do not have a thread here, but now they do as a casino to bookmark not to play.

Yeah, better to withdraw any amount that people got before they fade to black completely. They're likely to rob not just the identities but any amount that their customers got in deposit.
They've already shown dishonesty for faking the license so there's no sense of trusting them anymore. There might be some players that would still trust them because they're paying them but for the whole, better get out.

It's just right here since they aren't scamming yet but they are already suspicious since they faked their license in able to operate. It might be a long con since they aren't legal although as a precaution people should stop using the casino since they were suspicious from the start and there's a huge possiblity that they are going to scam those people in the future. The casino should be closed already if they have a fake license and not just a warning so people could stop visiting the site.
