3ArZHSZcY7DBShagNH2wQ7pKLYbRmzuSag I put money in a gambling site and I don't know which one I did it twice

Addresses are not linked to websites, unless the website has made an effort to have it labelled on-chain (usually not the case on the Bitcoin blockchain) and unless the address is published with the website URL somewhere, which would be unlikely in this circumstance.

Your best bet is to go through all of the gambling websites that you have visited or deposited to and looking through your deposit history for the transaction that matches this address (in the event that the deposit wasn't credited to your balance anyway). You should be able to match the time of your deposit with the transaction quite easily if you are able to login to all of your accounts with no problem.

In the worst case scenario that the above fails, contact the support of all casinos that you remember using and ask them if the address belongs to them. However, I don't see why you should need to do this if you are only using one account as per the rules of all casinos. You should definitely be keeping your login information handy as well.

The balance hasn't been swept and only has 2 imput txs from you, if it belongs to a centralized service wallet then it will be swept a moment later. It looks like you're sent it to a private wallet (yours, a friend's, or a decentralized service). Worst case scenario, you're sent it to a random address that no one generated yet.

You will have to go through all of your transactions and see possibly check out all of your gambling accounts in order to find that gambling site. Like the other user said, it's not possible to find a website's information just by having their Bitcoin wallet address. The famous wallet addresses are somehow saved by others to show that the address belong to xyz company but I haven't seen anyone liking wallet addresses to any of the gambling sites and that's why it may not be possible for anyone to find more information about the wallet address.

Maybe someone with chainanalysis can get information about the wallet address but still it's not going to be an easy task for a normal user to find details about the website with a wallet address only. I would also suggest you to visit all of the gambling sites that you use and check the deposit address manually yourself to see the address belongs to which platform and in case if you're not able to find about it yourself then you should most probably try to take some help from the support team of the casinos that you use regularly. That's the only possible way to gather information about that wallet address.

I tried using WalletExplorer, but since the funds have never moved since you first deposited them, that didn't help. You should probably check your email addresses, and see if you can find anything there (successful deposit, or confirmation email from gambling sites..)

I'm curious though, what makes you so sure it's a gambling platform? It's been a very long time. Did you label the transaction or the address on your wallet?

Are you sure? I mean when you deposit a certain amount of bitcoins into a gambling establishment and save the deposit address so that you now recall even if it was 2 transactions 11 months and 9 months.

Usually if the gambling is centralized then the funds will be swept automatically while this wallet does not move after you deposit, but I just suspect that you sent it to a private wallet but you forgot to put the seed phrase.

Why you not try to open every account you've created? it's either you have an access to your phone number or email, even better you saved the username and password so you don't have to recover your password (in case you lose your password).

Now let's say you know the site, but you don't have access over your account, do you think the site willing send back the coins to origin address?

One good tool to check is https://www.walletexplorer.com

But it can not help with your address https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/3ae2f719cc6c9ff5?from_address=3ArZHSZcY7DBShagNH2wQ7pKLYbRmzuSag

I tried with https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/3ArZHSZcY7DBShagNH2wQ7pKLYbRmzuSag but again no deep information about this.

The two transactions sent to this wallet dates back to 10 months and 8 months ago, of which I don't think it's possible to know which platform does this wallet belongs to, but I think it will be wise enough, if you can do a proper check on all Bitcoin wallets (i.e either casino, exchange or mixers that you may have thought of opening an account 10 to 12 months ago, and deposited $190 and $128 respectively, as shown on the address statement below.

So you made two deposits and you don't know to whom you paid to...despite those being two months apart?
Seriously, how did you managed to get the address the second time, you obviously went to that website, you didn't just heck your wallet history and decide to just dump some money into this unknown address, right?

Since there is no outgoing tx from those and nobody batching your outputs I kind of doubt it's even a gambling site, they would have already collected it so if you can't find it in your slit of gimbling site, then maybe you dint send tit to it and some other service or some friend or one of your own address or god knows what.
Wiotuht an outgoing tx from that there is now ay to trace it so best choice:

- go through the gambling websites and check your balance and deposits history (probably you have already done it), so pray it's not a dead one
- check your e-mails, something around those dates might give you a clue
- check your browsing history to see if you have anything in that period that might have triggered a deposit or purchase
- try to look at your conversation history, there might be a hint there on what you did

And of course, pray that it comes to you in a dream, because realistically there is not that much you can do about it unless they spend those funds.
