Right here's my 10 cents worth... as a player on duckdice since 2017 the site is not a scam nor shady. Look around the other casinos and you'll find places that will not only mute but ban you and confiscate any balance if you don't bow down to what admin wants or if you question certain practices. Duckdice like every other crypto casino has a chat and mods to ensure the rules aren't broken for the benefit of everyone. While mutes are sometimes controversial it doesn't affect the legitimacy of the site as a casino that's trustworthy. Chat is a privilege that while useful and entertaining is not the main function of duckdice.
Calling the site shady is in my opinion far from the truth. You will see duckdice has owned up to mistakes in the past and doesn't try to hide it under the rug. It's fully open about controversies for all to see as it's a transparent site with players opinions always being appreciated.
What you won't find is justified allegations of the casino not honouring its payments to players (which at the end of the day is what makes or breaks trust in this industry) I myself have been muted multiple times over the years some I feel unjustified some I had coming to me but that's never ever gotten in the way of payments, gameplay or live support's helpfulness if any issues arise while muted.
Also if you consider the majority of players will never go out of their way to give 5 star reviews or feedback on trustpilot but if they did you'd be able to see the clear ratio of players who trust duckdice than those who don't trust duckdice. Unhappy players are much more likely to take to trustpilot of start threads like this to express their story of how they suffered a 'misjustice'. And muddy the waters of what truly happened. The trustpilot page is a mess thanks to what could easily be 1 person creating multiple accounts to damage the overall reputation of the site. But really 98% of the time is due to user error or actions that cause these situations in the first place.
Basically in summary a shady site doesn't promote and publicly address allegations, and if in the wrong admit their mistakes and honour any money lost as a result of it. They don't ignore anyone no matter how ridiculous a claim they have.
They have always paid out without a hitch anytime I make a withdrawl since 2017 to present day. Hopefully I do not appear as someone who's stupid enough to deposit and trust a casino that scams me or others.
Sadly 99% of players who trust and are satisfied with duckdice will never come to give their feedback to give a more realistic insight to how the casinos treatment of players and payments have always been excellent.
A shady casino would encourage players to give good feedback for a reward of some sort (happens more than you'd think) but duckdice doesn't.
Thanks
Maybe this helps maybe it doesn't but duckdice ain't no scam
