You need to use you common sense.
Never play with more than you can afford to lose.
And be very very suspicious on every "too good to be true" promotion.

Most of the time, you can just tell.

Always check the forums for scam reports.

Google "[website] scam" and see what pops up.

Yeah. Most of the cases. If the site was scam. You can already see it. Plus, having a research in this forum will also help you identify if that site was a scam or not. Checking from time to time will lessen the risk of loosing money. Another thing is that, you should not put all your money only in that site. Always withdraw your balance in every site if needed to avoid being scammed.

[Omura]

Only stick with reputable websites and check threads on here too

[dustboy]

By using this forum as the main source of information, if I cant find the site so I will try to google it. If I see many bad reviews then I can say that a site is a scam site so it should be avoided.

Deposit money. If you cant withdraw then it is a scam.
If it doesn't have provable fairness assume it is a scam.

No real way of telling with a new casino as they can turn scam in a heartbeat.

Usually depend on community feedback on the site.
Let say , they promote on sosmed , youtube , or forum good comment are essential things to gather more exposure on the site
Especially feedback from experience gambler or coder

But overall predicting gambling is a scam or not is just like gamble to , whenever they can made you money or they can made you loss

Mostly by people reviews, if there is many bad reviews on them, this is much probably scam site but if you are dare to try you should deposit some amount to make sure that they are really scam or not. But usually when people said that each site is scammed, mostly is true because they already have some experience on them and get this issue so i suggest you to believe them and try to search more too to make sure that X site is scam or not

Use your gut. Stick with established sites and remember there is strength in numbers so go where everyone else is going unless you are using small amounts you dont care about.

[bamboylee]

Use the site. Deposit small amount, play with it and if you win, withdraw your winnings. If it gets through, then it may not be a scam site. But even with that cleared, I will still not deposit large amount to non established gambling sites. Wait for it to gain reputation, then you can start to deposit larger amounts.

Checking the fairness is one way to conduct the research first step is to use a faucet if they have one or make a minimum deposit then make a couple of bets after that verify each roll.

Wait for it to gain reputation, then you can start to deposit larger amounts.

Why wait when you could gamble on other reputable/trusted casinos.

[SONG GEET]

There are few things that make any gambling site trusted:
1. Provably fair games
2. Known admin or atleast active admin
3. Past reputation and feedbacks
4. Trust they have gained over past years

[SFR10]

Here's few more tips (aside from the above answers):

1. Check for expiry of the domain (check for SSL expiry as well, in cases of these two being different in terms of either the start date or end date, it could be one red flag)
2. Sufficient information about the owner and brand (valid name, address and contact number of the owner or the respective brand), mostly hidden by some privacy protecting service.
3. No proof of funds.
4. "To good to be true" stuff.
5. A lot of wrong spellings.
6. Not having 24/7 support (an actual one).
7. Contact a reputable coder to check the source codes that can be seen and to check the software being used.
8. Check for license
9. Check rules/f.a.q and try to cross check everything that sounds different
10. The site, isn't presented in a professional way.

Although these might not be everything and just because some of these are present in a gambling website, doesn't make them automatically a scam but these should be warning points upon using such websites.

I think it's easier than that. You can find the site on bitcointalk forum, see how old it is, what trust do the owners have and go through some feedback in the thread. I think this provides you with all the information you'll need and then you can just gamble without being scared. And perhaps I'll agree on 'too good to be true' thing with you but if some casino is trusted but has a big minimum withdraw amount or house edge, you better seek for something better

Why should you even bother yourself about whether a gambling site is scam or not where we have reputable sites on the forum that have even proven themselves over the years and trust me the community cannot be wrong at least one person would have made efforts to reveal the scam. But if you want to know, then you have to go to the scam accusation section of the forum to learn what they did and see if you can apply some.

I think we'll know the gambling site is scam, when i made a withdraw and their didn't process it  but of course there are also other factors like they canceled our bets without a reason if it happens to me then I would say that they are scam site.

Don't play new games with very little user (forum) feedback, that's always a good start.
I personally stick to a handful of trusted sites here, I'm not very adventurous regarding bitcoin gaming/gambling sites.

no funds proof are the most clear thing to prove that they will run scam , if they are legit they don't have to hide anything. also there a lot of small bitcoin gambling sites keep paying , have verified hold the funds to pay the winning but don't have a 24/7 support, i think this one are just an additional value to judge whether they are scam or not?
