Title: Warning: ZKasino - Possible wallet phishing scam
Post by: BenCodie on February 22, 2023, 04:34:31 PM
Warning about ZK:NO KYC Instant withdraws up to $500K/24h.Today only: 0% edge and ZKAS airdrop (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440758.0)

Every element of the website (including the social media viewing) requires you to connect your wallet. Additionally, the topic is locked for discussion though the creator (newbie) is posting to bump the thread. This is extremely suspicious.

This thread can be removed after a moderator reviews the report. This is a warning not to connect your wallet to this website until there is more information as to why the discussion is locked and why the website forces walletconnect for even things like viewing social media/joining discord.



Since the situation has been handled, I will leave this thread open for another few days for anymore comment before I lock it. Credit to bitbollo for referencing what happened:

scam sites or in general scams are not moderated here on bitcointalk so moderators will not doing anything.

I have tried to connect my wallet in order to collect some coins airdropped but ::)

Your wallet balance is too low to claim anything, Please deposit funds or try again with another wallet.

it seems this site is just a clone of https://play.zkasino.io/ (I don't know if it's a scam even this but for sure here you can access to social media/player addresses etc...)
and yes you can't see anything but just connect your wallet.
any items you try to click is just a reminder to homepage or connect wallet ::)

ok it's a scam ;)

Seems the topic was edited and removed by the topic creator. So it's good people will not risk themselves visiting the site anymore.
If you simply notice the topic creator's presentation, it's fishy and easily understandable that he is lying. And the bet counts and registered users in a short period are horrible :),

Those who like to play on the web 3.0 platform should always be aware before connecting their wallet to such a random/strange site which is just been launched. Due to the increasing popularity of web 3.0, people are trying to get the chance to steal people's money by cloning trusted web 3.0 websites. We should aware of it.

Yes. It looks like zkasino.io is a genuine website, and the scammer has merely copied their front page on a new domain to lure unsuspecting victims.

Here is an archived version of the scam site just for reference:

It's likely that the moderator removed the thread because it appears to be a direct copy-paste of the original ZKasino ANN topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419683.0).

Added a negative tag to scammer's profile.

When I saw the thread locked, I found it something fishy as they were adding replies and locking the thread again.

I was trying to check out the site. I noticed the problem (trick lol) too that every click was looking for connecting wallet. Then I tried to check their telegram and found the same lol. Now it seems an obvious scam attempt.

Tagging the account.

It's likely that the moderator removed the thread because it appears to be a direct copy-paste of the original ZKasino ANN topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419683.0).

Plagiarized post doesn't get deleted if I'm correct, nor the scam is moderated here. So, I think OP has deleted the ANN by himself. I can't see anything on the modLog too- https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

Thread has already been deleted. But this move by the scammer has shown a way for gamblers to be careful. Now these scam websites will continue to increase in number as they try to scam using that technique. One should never connect the wallet without checking the url of any website, because of clone websites, if you don't check the url, it becomes difficult to understand which is fake and which is real website.

He seemed to convince by buying copper members to look like a casino in general who had just arrived, but in the end, he was arrested because there was a suspicion that by clicking on social media they had to connect first, this was clearly a scam.

I was able to access the site but there were suspicions why the thread was locked after posting, and what was even more surprising was that every click had to be connected to the web3 wallet that was a suspicion, I hope there are no victims in this trick.

Good find OP, and thanks for warning the community!

There have been numerous scam attempts that involve creating fake sites and requesting people to connect their hot wallets and browser extensions. Since these wallets are always online, you should never trust the information posted on a public forum no matter who posted it. Confirm the info from official sources and even then consider whether you should connect your wallet or not. It wouldn't be the first time a project exit scams and goes bad. Having a secondary one with only pocket change on a different device isn't a bad idea.

What would make the zkasino to lock the thread if not something fishy is going on. I came across the topic while reading and it was locked that is preventing anyone from making any comments which clearly indicates that the project is a possible scam because I see no reason why the op of the thread would lock the topic and does not want members to comment. Definitely, if members were to comment,they would have unraveled more information about the website and calling the attention to other members to run away from the website. Every on should be careful about that site so as not to get hacked.

Looks like he is an idiot if he thinks adding up to 500k wd instant for the next 24 hours will bring in the big depositors. It's really a shame that we don't know where to find this person and send them to a prison cell for awhile for the scam attempt.

Post by: Don Pedro Dinero on February 23, 2023, 03:53:37 AM
The problem with this, as crude as it may seem, is that like all scams, they play with the big numbers. There is always someone clueless or foolish enough to fall into their trap.

Looks like he is an idiot if he thinks adding up to 500k wd instant for the next 24 hours will bring in the big depositors. It's really a shame that we don't know where to find this person and send them to a prison cell for awhile for the scam attempt.

I imagine that trying to report him would be useless because we don't know his jurisdiction and he could be using tor etc?

Maybe they think that using a copper membership can make other users trust and want to enter the web that has been provided.
What's more, when every time you want to enter, you have to connect to the wallet address, so even if you use a copper membership, I'm sure everyone won't believe it easily and want to connect to the wallet you have.
In this forum there are staff or forum moderators who are very wise and they all know in each thread whether it will be dangerous for forum members or not. deceived and victimized.

Good catch.
I feel that any website asking to connect ones wallet to view content and at the same time getting their thread locked should be considered a huge fled flag to anyone.

Yes, it is a shame he will likely to try again on other community where people may not realize it is a scam on time, but there is not much we can do, just to spread awareness to those who come around here for the first time looking for reputable casinos.

Having a secondary one with only pocket change on a different device isn't a bad idea.

You could use two wallets on metamask itself, with 'useless' one for sites like mentioned in op.

Hardware wallet for savings, hot wallet for day-to-day transactions and lastly useless wallet.

Post by: BobK71 on February 23, 2023, 04:36:58 AM
The attractive offer of this site naturally increases its susceptibility to skepticism. No KYC is required to withdraw up to 500k. The main objective of such a big opportunity is to ‍attract the big investors. Those who have little knowledge about gambling sites can avoid it. Those who connect the wallet without knowing about any site will naturally affect by the scam. It has no promotion so everyone is highly suspicious of it.


Title: Re: Warning: ZKasino - Possible wallet phishing scam
Post by: Solosanz on February 23, 2023, 05:30:21 AM
This is why I really skepticism about dApps because they ask to connect our wallet, even it's a legit one I still think there's a chance they could compromise my wallet. Creating a new account on the casino and fund it from our wallet are better IMO.

Plagiarized post doesn't get deleted if I'm correct, nor the scam is moderated here. So, I think OP has deleted the ANN by himself. I can't see anything on the modLog too- https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php
The moderators will delete the plagiarized post and your report would be marked good, but it will depends on the moderators if they want to ban the user or not. However you can't see any report on modlog, it's mean the @OP was delete it by himself.

Good, thanks for the OP's heads-up and hopefully no one will fall for this trick.

And it seems the attack on crypto based casinos have been ramping up from this cyber criminals. I guess they know that's where the real money is. Recently there is a thread wherein a user has been phished and his huge amount of money withdrawn by the hackers itself.

So definitely everyone should be very careful right now.

Even better, no wallet  :D What do you think? Most of the DeFis are useless and there's no need of using such platform I think.

Thanks for the correction. I had totally forgotten about this. I read such a rule long ago but can't remember exactly. Can you point me to a link where this is stated? I tried to find yesterday but couldn't find anything helpful on this.

Yes, I saw the same thing with this phishing site, with any interaction with the page, a suggestion was made to connect Metamask, but the thread was blocked by the author apparently deliberately and there was no way to leave a comment, so it looks like a scammer hunting.

Unfortunately I can only give a proof about my report (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg61756300#msg61756300), not from the moderators' post who's pointing out about it. Maybe you can try to report a plagiarized post by yourself and then you can verify if it's true or not.

The good thing is the @OP is dumb for locking his thread, when a newbie either create self moderated thread or lock the thread immediately after he create it, it will raise a red flag for us. Even though he have read my post and create new thread with new phishing site without self moderated or lock the thread, many people already aware and careful due to this thread.

Not everyone likes KYC though, so many newly-established ones try to lure them with sweet talks.

I figure that depends upon user, I'm active in ethereum ecosystem so can't live without it. Yes, there are shady dapps, have been burnt few times as well, but it can also be rewarding with it's retrospective drops (hop, dydx, uni, op).

It is really a shame just as you have said but we cannot do anything here rather than account ban but we know this is a decentralized platform void of kyc so any one here is free to make posts, comment and take part in work or jobs available. Come to talk of it, the zkasino has long deleted the post and none can assess the page anymore.  I am happy OP did Research and did a quick response immediately after OP discovery so that members do not fall victim of account phishing which would have been disasterous for those who have no idea the genuineness of what they were clicking bit all the same, no own has complained of linking their accounts to the zkasino site and that is ok by me.

The site is already a very suspicious one and there is no single reason why one will be asked to connect or link a wallet address at every step they take just because they want to try out a casino. I'm sure that this singular act alone has already done so much harm than good to their reputation and it will take them so much time to dispute this claims.
Thank you so much OP for raising this awareness to us and I hope more persons get to see this thread so as not to fall victim of any malicious or criminal acts.

I'm not one who will try that, there are many DeFi casinos now but until now I haven't connected any of my wallets until they are reported safe by those who have tried their platform, it's not that I don't trust these platforms it's just that they are not fully accepted by the gambling community and there are safety parameters that need to be employed to make it safe for the gambling community.

Creating a new wallet is not that hard though just to try any service. I usually have this kind of dummy wallet so that I can explore any DeFi website without any worries since some DeFi website only shows full feature once you connect your wallet.

On this casino case. This is a clone copy of an existing project and used to phish users account. This is an obvious scam so I agree to you that people should not try this site or proven scam site.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that your hot wallet (the software itself) shouldn't be put in a situation where someone could potentially abuse it. It might just be a phishing and social engineering attack, but if there is also malware involved then nothing is safe.

The forum is not decentralized, from what I know and understand decentralization to be or mean, but then, what we can conclude on is that the forum grants freedom of posts/speech to everyone, as long as you as it does not go against the forum rules, or put others in a state or situation where they are likely to lose their funds to scam mostly.
Though the forum does not monitor or regulate scam, but through reports from users, the moderators still try their best to delete/ trash out posts created with a motive to scam unsuspecting victims, which is really good, and again, the system also warn users against dealing with users with high negative trust rating, which is another good feature again.

Thanks for ups!
Whenever I see websites that wants me to connect my wallet onto them, I'm completely closing my window there and never visits again.
These scammers would do everything what it takes to scam and rob people's money, so don't oblige on their technique of stealing everyone that would be gullible to their schemes.
I wouldn't even waste my time on trying it out with a wallet of mine that contains nothing, they're worth it just to be ignored by us since they've been caught as a potential phishing site.

Using a browser extension wallet that is useless as the user suggested should be a perfectly fine way to test websites that require wallet connection. Usually the full extent that a malicious wallet connect website can go, is accessing all of your addresses and doing as much damage as that permission can damage. As far as I am aware, there is no such malware that can be injected into your browser or desktop via wallet connection.

Yes, it seems that the user ripped the landing page and just replaced everything with malicious wallet connect requests. Thankfully the situation has been handled and for now, the thread was deleted and this one has become more of a point of reference to this unique attempt now. If you want to see how the user conducted the attempt, see the second post by bitbollo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440863.msg61802699#msg61802699).

scam sites or in general scams are not moderated here on bitcointalk so moderators will not doing anything.

I have tried to connect my wallet in order to collect some coins airdropped but ::)

Your wallet balance is too low to claim anything, Please deposit funds or try again with another wallet.

it seems this site is just a clone of https://play.zkasino.io/ (I don't know if it's a scam even this but for sure here you can access to social media/player addresses etc...)
and yes you can't see anything but just connect your wallet.
any items you try to click is just a reminder to homepage or connect wallet ::)

I would not even use my spare wallet just to try, they want you to think it's safe until they are not anymore, so you link your wallet play there and withdraw, then you think it's safe to use your main wallet to save transaction fees from your main wallet to your spare wallet, it is when you are comfortable that they going to do hacking.

I prefer to wait for reviews and audits of their smart contract or until they have proven that they are safe to trust their platform to link your wallet.

I meant it for investigation purposes. Connecting wallet does not do anything unless you give dapp approval permission.

When you connect, at least in case metamask it would show — 'See address, account balance, activity and suggest transactions to approve'.

Your wallet is at mercy of last one, once you do this to any shady dapp, your wallet is done.

Regarding audits, they may give some level of legitimacy but don't mean much, plenty cases where audited platforms got drained.

Thanks for ups!
Whenever I see websites that wants me to connect my wallet onto them, I'm completely closing my window there and never visits again.
These scammers would do everything what it takes to scam and rob people's money, so don't oblige on their technique of stealing everyone that would be gullible to their schemes.
I wouldn't even waste my time on trying it out with a wallet of mine that contains nothing, they're worth it just to be ignored by us since they've been caught as a potential phishing site.
I've seen several crooks try to scam honest folks out of their hard-earned money. Exasperatingly many people fall for such scams. Linking one's wallet to an unfamiliar website is like giving a stranger one's credit card and PIN in hopes they won't steal.

Such situations need prioritizing safety and well-being. Before giving a website your wallet or connecting it, be cautious and do your research. If one has any doubts, they should consult a cybersecurity professional or any crypto professional immediately. Always be cautious rather than complacent.

our "hero" Z-Kasino
is coming back with a new wallet phishing scam.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441072.msg61811224#msg61811224
here full details (also added a new red trust).

if some one want create a flag I am ready to support it...

@Cyrus @hilariousandco
since this user is clearly faking another forum user just to commit some scam... [Zkasino is the original forum user...] why not ban this fake/impersonator?

The site is already a very suspicious one and there is no single reason why one will be asked to connect or link a wallet address at every step they take just because they want to try out a casino. I'm sure that this singular act alone has already done so much harm than good to their reputation and it will take them so much time to dispute this claims.
Thank you so much OP for raising this awareness to us and I hope more persons get to see this thread so as not to fall victim of any malicious or criminal acts.
I find it more annoying than suspicious because what I know is that any decentralized/web3 platforms do also works like that where they will also ask us to connect our wallet with them but the only difference maybe is that a legit platform does not force us of doing it. For our safety it will be better to use a separate wallet when connecting to any decentralized and web3 platforms.

This is the only downside of this technology because our whole wallet is exposed once we made a connection with them. If this casino here is truly a scam then it's normal that they won't care about their reputation so don't worry about them. They deserved it anyway.

The attractive offer of this site naturally increases its susceptibility to skepticism. No KYC is required to withdraw up to 500k. The main objective of such a big opportunity is to ‍attract the big investors. Those who have little knowledge about gambling sites can avoid it. Those who connect the wallet without knowing about any site will naturally affect by the scam. It has no promotion so everyone is highly suspicious of it.

But if you go to the online casino website zkasino.io , and not the mod that the OP promoted here, then you won't see a mention of the withdrawal amount anywhere there, besides, it's not in their doc, so I don't think there's a corresponding bankroll there (the last bank roll was on their twitter $2m) to ensure the withdrawal of $500k per player.

Usually the full extent that a malicious wallet connect website can go, is accessing all of your addresses and doing as much damage as that permission can damage.
We all know that too many people don't like to read. Even when the wallet clearly states what permissions you give certain services, people just want to get rid of the pop-up so they click yes or approve. That's the problem. You can give a site permission to access your wallet and perform certain transactions in your name.

As far as I am aware, there is no such malware that can be injected into your browser or desktop via wallet connection.
Maybe, maybe not. I don't want to be the lab rat to test it.

I don't see why one scammer should be banned when thousands have been allowed to do as they please because the forum follows a "scams are not moderated policy". Personally, I would ban them all. But since that is not happening, then we shouldn't ban only a handful of those we don't like.

Using a browser extension wallet that is useless as the user suggested should be a perfectly fine way to test websites that require wallet connection.

Yes, of course it is, but here we are talking about the fact that the original sai online casino ZKasino does not have such a feature as a pop-up window with an offer to connect a wallet, and it was not possible to remove it unless you close the site window. And therefore the OP provided a link to a modified online casino site where I suspect you would simply lose your funds just by betting.

I doubt that you would even be able to bet to begin with. I am assuming after you connect, your wallet would be cleaned.

I don't think it is a matter of "maybe, maybe not", it is either possible or impossible. Wallet connection asks to grant permissions to communicate between your wallet. Your wallet is not capable of downloading software to your device. Neither is a smart contract. Therefore, it is impossible to spread malware by connecting your wallet (whether it is malicious connection or legitimate).

By connecting the casino with the wallet that we have, we are giving the opportunity for us to lose everything we already have in the wallet because connecting the wallet has a very big risk.
I am not too sure that this casino site can guarantee the security of the funds that we keep in our wallets and in fact I have the same suspicions as you.
I suggest to every gambler to be extra careful when it comes to connecting their wallet to a casino just to be able to bet there.

Well, here you always need to pay attention to exactly how the website interacts with your wallet, usually these are two things that the wallet does after connecting:
1. allows the website to know that you have a crypto wallet
2.provides the website with the public address of your wallet.
But "Approval" approves an address to spend X amount of your tokens and this requires a real transaction, but in this case you must explicitly agree to its execution. However, in any case, it is better not to connect your wallet to suspicious sites.

Well, that is not entirely true. By just connecting your wallet with a website, you don't specifically give them access to your wallet or the funds stored in it, unless you give them the access. Your wallet should ask you to approve if a website/service tries to make a transaction using your wallet balance.

As long as you read every detail provided by your wallet when approving or accepting a connection to your wallet, you should be good, although it is still not the best practice to connect your wallet everywhere except for the places that you actually trust.

Warning about ZK:NO KYC Instant withdraws up to $500K/24h.Today only: 0% edge and ZKAS airdrop (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440758.0)

Every element of the website (including the social media viewing) requires you to connect your wallet. Additionally, the topic is locked for discussion though the creator (newbie) is posting to bump the thread. This is extremely suspicious.

This thread can be removed after a moderator reviews the report. This is a warning not to connect your wallet to this website until there is more information as to why the discussion is locked and why the website forces walletconnect for even things like viewing social media/joining discord.


Hi, welcome to the forum. Thank you for sharing this piece of valuable information with us.

I would suggest everyone stay vigilant until more details about why the discussion is locked and why wallet connects are required for every aspect of the website.

I noticed same thing too then and I became skeptical of such actions because when such a thing happens, there is likely something fishy about that thing which made the OP locked it not to talk of when there are complaints coming in from different angles about that thread. Normally, anything that has to do with linking up of wallet, I am very much mindful of it as it involves granting access to your wallet which in other words, means permitting access to the third party to make withdrawal as the case maybe.
If you must grant any third party access to your wallet via website connection, you must be sure of that website so as not to get your funds stollen or you use a new wallet entirely different.

There are few casinos claimed they were web 3.0 casinos and they ask to connect your wallet if you want to play in their site, although there's no case where they scam, but make sure anyone need to use secondary wallet and not use their primary wallet.

I still think creating an account and make a deposit is much safer than this one.

I often do this to avoid problems and also this should be done by many other users if you want to connect a wallet on a site that supports web 3.0 use a secondary wallet don't use the main wallet which has all our crypto assets, because we will never know the malicious intentions of the site owner so avoid connecting to the main wallet and always make sure to use a new wallet especially on sites that are currently in testing.

In using the web3 casino, all gamblers really have to connect their personal wallets to be able to play or bet, but we can anticipate that bad things will not happen to the assets in our wallets by creating a new wallet and only using it to play at the casino, so there is no need to worry about bad things.
After all, several web3 casinos are also trusted and have quite a good reputation so not all web3 casinos have the danger of scams, but we still have to be careful and protect the assets we have.
If you say security, it is indeed safer to create an account and make a deposit every time you play, but web3 casinos make it easy for gamblers not to need to make a deposit and only need to combine wallets to play or bet.

I don't remember seeing any more than one casino that claims to be utilizing web3 and that had the option for the gamblers to connect their wallet and place bets directly through the wallet using smart contracts and on-chain transactions.

Security will definitely be a concern for everyone since there aren't a lot of platforms with this feature and if there are any that would be new with no trust and reputation. So it's obviously risky but there nothing wrong in checking them out with a new wallet.

The truth is that, gambling casinos can never be like exchanges, where some traders prefer decentralized exchanges over centralized ones, possibly due to frequent hacks and all that, in gambling, centralized Casino rarely get hacked, so I see no motivation to want to use a decentralized, in other words, web3 casino for my gambling activities.

Because I also use a web3-based casino and have no problems playing there even though I rarely play but it's enough to give a sense of trust to their site and indeed I have to use my personal wallet to be able to play.
Maybe you can search and try one of the web3 casinos to prove firsthand that there are pretty good web3 sites.
Every casino will guarantee the safety of every gambler who plays there and not only at Web3 Casino but also other casinos will implement the same thing.
If you really want to be safer, just use a new or secondary wallet so you don't have to worry that when you try it there will be problems.

Sorry, friend, for the problem of sharing the name of the web3 casino, I can't say it and I'm sure you understand and can understand, from my point of view, why can't you say it.
It is true that there are no web3 casinos that provide guarantees and conveyances saying that they guarantee the safety of their users but I myself am sure that every casino will take care of security for the sake of their good name.
Maybe you can try yourself playing at one of the web3 casinos that you know because if you only rely on the experiences of other gamblers you are unlikely to get a good experience and have real proof that web3 casinos are not all bad.

Someone who has expertise in advanced technology can easily clone other gambling sites and be used to deceive many people.
This is the importance of us always choosing to gamble at popular casinos on this forum and choosing this forum as a place to look for trusted casinos.
On the other good things in this forum there are many experienced gamblers who can find scam sites and share them here so that we are more careful not to deposit our money on these sites.
Incidents of cloning gambling sites like this have happened a long time ago and if we are observant in choosing a new casino, we can definitely detect that the site is a scam.

Correct me if I am wrong but, in case someone decided to access a scam DEfi casino using Metamask connected to a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger.
The website would not be able to steal the funds, would they?

Because in theory, any operation/signature would need to be approved from the physical device itself and then it would be obvious we are being asked to send funds to a different address. Unless, they make it appear to be an interaction with a smart contract so the victim may approve it?

I makes me wonder what they do in order to steal from a metamask-only wallet? Do they use a malware to steal the seed or trick the user to perform a transaction with a false message?

Just like you, most of the gamblers don't have issues using centralized casinos mainly because they are licensed and trusted and probably also because they have been around for longer and has a reputation built up already in the community. So it doesn't sound so good to leave a casino that you have been using which is trusted and start using one that isn't.

Decentralized casinos might get popular later in the future when there are more regulations and rules imposed by the laws on centralized exchanges, but I doubt that they will not do the same with decentralized ones.

^ I don't know how it will work either but as far as I know, these attackers can possibly steal your fund through to have display a fake login screen or prompt the user to enter their seed phrase, which is then stolen by the attacker. Another tactic is to intercept transactions and replace the intended recipient's address with the attacker's address, resulting in the loss of the user's funds.
All kinds of wallets are not safe once your device gets infected with the virus, so we should be thankful of what OP shared here because if I were on that side, I did not also connect my wallet.

Some of the classic ways of stealing assets in wallets are using web phishing and the second way is being infected with a malware virus that automatically replaces the address of the hacker stored in a hidden file, so make sure the anti-virus on your PC is always active in realtime mode to detect viruses at any time. However, it is recommended not to use the main wallet access on the PC to avoid malware viruses on the PC that are not detected, so keep improving your PC's security features.

How can they explain this to the pubic that they locked their thread and at the same time their is a possible phishing attempt on their official website.

in  myy key phrase,  which is then linked to my  assets. I did not even bothered going forth I just had to do away with that casino because it was visibly clear what the casino are upto. Anyone who connects their account are on their own unless otherwise.

On a normal stand, their thread is not to be locked if truly they have good and clear intentions on good relations with their participants. How can they explain this to the pubic that they locked their thread and at the same time their is a possible phishing attempt on their official website. I suggest their representative be called to order to explaining the misery behind the thread lock and why is their  website developed that it always requires one to link their wallet before doing anything upon clicking it. There are so many questions waiting for their representative to answer.
The thread was deleted not locked. besides, as far as I know they are still in the testing phase and haven't really released it yet so I think everyone knows that to test casino sites that are in the testing phase you don't have to use your main wallet to connect to the site because it will be risky unless their site is officially on full release and lots of users playing of course its very safe, as far as i can see i have tested the game on their site and used secondary wallet for testing but after their threads were frequently deleted and disappeared i totally left it.

What should have prompted them to go as far as deleting their thread and if they were done with their test net It would still have been better they leave the thread open for discussion and it would serve a good purpose to remember the early beginning and test net stage of the casino. It can as well serve as the official announcement thread of the casino since they are on beta stage amd the announcement of the launch would have been.said here but it is unfortunate they deleted it and they have lost credibility from potential customers as nobody would want to do anything with them again
