I recently had an issue with a casino I suspect to be underfunded, Is there any reason that bitcoin casino's can't prove funds with a cold storage address?

Would you mind telling what was the issue you had, did you initiated a withdrawal and it was delayed and it made you think that maybe the Casino doesn't have funds? If that's the reason then you should know that there can be other reasons for late withdrawals and as much as I am aware of all the Casinos have a Max Bet limit which correlates to how much a Casino can pay in winnings of one bet and it is there to make sure that Casino never gets in a situation where they can't pay for the winnings. And to answer your second question I don't see any reason for a Casinos to not show proofs of their cold storage, in-fact I think it helps them gain more trust of the players and there by increasing their chances of being more successful among their competitors.

The biggest reason for them not proving their funds with a cold storage address is that they don't actually have the funds they claim to have. They'll probably offer up all kinds of excuses but don't fall for it.

There is no excuse for not having cold storage proof, these casinos are usually scams.

I wouldn't want to play at a casino that doesn't at least show their cold storage again.
The issue I had was I won 10% of the claimed casino's bankroll (if I knew that's all they had I wouldn't have played there) and there was a week delay in paying me without any contact, they didn't even log into bitcointalk during that time.

Even they have a proof of cold storage, the safety of your funds is not guaranteed, so don't you keep your money in any site or exchange.

That's not the point, The point is if you hit a big jackpot or run good you want to know the casino has at least the funds available to pay. Seems like anyone can open a casino with a ridiculous bankroll like 50 BTC's

Well if you can't understand that, I have no words for you. But then again I don't know what a raputaed site is, so you might might know better than me ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) And while we are keeping it serious, I just assume you are just bumping your post count by typing anything that seems relevant, even if there is no logic at all.

I don't see that as a problem. As long as they never let anyone attempt to win more than what they have, or what they are willing to pay ... it's fine. Probably 99% of bitcoin gamblers are ok playing at a casino that would stop the action when players won a total of 50. Bustabit for instance started from a very modest bankroll, and grew from there. While there were certainly people who were put off by the low limits, it didn't stop it from being a success (or instantly paying out the winner who took half the bankroll)

Check out gamblingsitefinder.com for a decent list/rankings of crypto casinos. Note: I have no affiliation or interest in it, and don't even agree with all the rankings ... but it's the only uncorrupted review site I'm aware of.

yeah, fair enough, The casino I had in mind had a 50 BTC bankroll with high betting limits, that could get wiped out in a few hours of lucky betting.

i personally would not trust any sort of gambling website that refuses to give proof of their cold storage having enough bitcoin in it. even if they have an excuse of not showing it, i would never risk using their service and get scammed later on.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Cold storage primarily applies to only sites that accept investments. Otherwise most of the casinos like Coinroyale/Fortunejack , don't really have to provide proof of funds.

why not? There has been multiple issues with gambling sites with horrible financial management, Even some market leaders were run as ponzi schemes. Every little bit of assurance the player can get should be offered, There is no reason not to.

Or limiting the max payout to something they can afford like 1% of their bankroll, which most of the sites do. BTW the biggest dice site PD doesn't have a cold storage address as well, but it can afford to pay the players out.

So by not showing the funds they might default on payouts of people who might win a big amount. For example if someone wins around 5000 BTC , then the casino could just default on his/her payment and refuse it and shutdown if they dont have the money to pay them out.

In that case you really can't do anything. If you plan on playing with a big amount then why would you in the first place go play online at an unlicensed casino , instead of flying out for a few hundred dollars to a live casino which is going to be a much better experience than playing online. As for financial management, sites which don't accept investments might not have their holdings in bitcoin and might actually be converting fiat to bitcoin at the instant a high roller winner requests a cash out as holding onto bitcoin is not a good way for a casino to manage their house bankroll which might have been converted to bitcoin from fiat in the first place.

Do you really think that's a fair argument? it makes me wonder why you argue at all, where does you illogical bias come from?... Until I see you signature. Casino shill, this forum is so corrupted it's no wonder the casino's have got away with whatever they wanted until now.
