How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not?

[Twentyonepaylots]

The number of users can be a sign to know that the gambling site is a scam or not because if one gambling site has big numbers of the user, that means their site is trusty, and it is safe to play in their site. They will make their website to become the best of gambling site so that the gambling site can compete with the other gambling website. But if they cannot manage their website with the right, they lose the number of users, and it can turn to become scam in the long term.

Fully agrees that one of the main indicators of the casino rating is the real number of visitors, which depends on many factors, the main of which is the honesty of the casino. If a person is dissatisfied with a gambling playground, he simply will not return to it, and if he liked the service and bonuses, he will return to such a gambling playground.

This too can be tweaked, they can put in bots to make the illusion that the site is well populated, luring in people to bet but ultimately lose in the end. One thing you might want to consider when checking if a gambling site is real or is a scam would be its prize at stake. If you think the prize is too good to be true (e.g.) Lamborghini Huracan,etc.) then you might be right.

The main problem is that, we cant be sure whether the number of users is real or fake. Scam sites may manipulate this number by having bots or by hiring real people to attract real gamblers. I wont use this thing to say a site is a scam or not, there are many things to consider but in short, I will use this forum as my main source to check whether a site is scam or not.

That is right. We don't know for sure. I agree that we can use this forum to know which site that have reputations and which site that is trying to scam people, and we can find that site by review from the members. Members here can help us to find the gambling site, and they will recommend the site, so we don't have to afraid of scams. Besides that, sometimes, the gambling site which has reputations will give offers to their members, and that is to invite more gamblers to come to their website.

I wonder how you do your research if a gambling site is scam or not?

This would depend on several factors, such as:

• Number of years the gambling site has been operating;
• Number of users that are actually participating;
• Its reputation via feedback from users or participants;
• It has its own domain; and
• If the support system is relatively good.

Most well-known gambling sites have a good support system that meets the need of its users. While some gambling sites have been around for years, what would make or break it would be the support system as people will be having problems about depositing/withdrawing their funds. Another thing that you have to consider is the feedback from its participants. This forum can be used to check if the gambling site has positive reviews from its users as that will determine its reputation.

Of course there also should be a customer support system to assist gamblers whenever they have an issue with the site. From simple errors like depositing and withdrawing to the more complex issues like hacking and rigging. There should be a customer support to listen to the people they serve. Otherwise no matter how "established" this site is, it's doomed to fall.

There are many ways to check if the website is fake or just a scam. The first thing that you need to check is if the website is secured. You can confirm it by checking if the there is a padlock icon beside the web address. But nowadays, there are websites that are secured but are still a scam. Second thing that you can do is you should do research about the website. Look for reviews and ratings, if there aren't enough reviews then you should be worried.

For now Im playing to the gambling sites who are already operate since last few year and upto this now and have a lot of good feedbacks here in this forum.
New gambling sites offer free giveaway or bonus for the players register but the other technique is they give big bonus which is really not true for sure and they want for you to deposit money first before you withdraw your money and once you do that you cannot withdraw for sure. Mostly new gambling site are turn into scam so be careful before you play.

Yes this is what I always thinking before depositing in an online casinos. I give more trust to the casinos that are well knowned , and being operated for the past years but it is not only my basis , I also looking for their website security as well, i need to be sure that they has a good website security and anti DDOS website, that could be one of the main problem.

Yep! Check their website, just type their website name it could be too easy to put their names in the search engine and you may found out if they are having a bad reviews and accusations as well, if they have? Then don't play there.

That's a great idea we should make research about games and find a good website for it. Working on a good kind of research is actually required for getting gambling profit. There are so many scamming sites that we should make proper research and know about the reality of the website. There are so many YouTube channels from where we can get help in this regard.

Hey there, in my opinion there are many measures one can use to determine quickly if a site is legit or not. Some of my favourites are how big is their community, is what they offer too good to be true, what do you get when you Google their brand name, do they seem professional, do they say guarantee winning etc. especially, with the latter if that's clearly put in red or something flashy then that's almost always not legit and you have to be careful.

[LbtalkL]

I don't really know now, it doesn't mean that they are paying for a while, they are legit, maybe if it exists for a long time? Recently I found a gambling site I knew last year that is working well they even have a Signature thread here on bitcointalk and they are paying but now suddenly they stop the service and many users are saying they can't withdraw their funds I don't know if they are turned scam or what I am waiting for accusation thread if someone does.

Asking opinions from its community can help us to have information about specific gambling sites. We should always open our ears for the information in the internet. We should also have a research skills in order to identify what is a legit gambling site or a scam gambling sites. Lack of knowledge can lead to scammed by those greedy persons out there so we should have enough knowledge on the gambling sites that we will use.

Look for reviews and ratings, if there aren't enough reviews then you should be worried.

Opinion from others really matters. It is either they have experienced something first hand or someone told them so. Especially when you don't have knowledge about something you should need to gather information. Information in the internet is massive, you could draw your conclusion easily, especially when reviews and ratings all say the same things.

Beware of fake reviews and ratings, nowadays scam casinos can do anything they want to attract people.
One example is that they can pay a review website, or pay some people to make a good review of their site. It is still happening till this day where there are some sites which has very bad reputation in this forum but the sites are considered as one of the best sites on the review websites.
Gathering information is indeed good thing to do, but we should not rely on reviews and ratings only. Make sure that the reviews and ratings are honest.

As I belong to the SEO industry I can verify this that any site and any service can purchase fake reviews for themselves, and many times these fake reviews will come from verified profiles too. Instead of searching on the internet I would suggest you’ll to start a discussion thread out here, as this forum is the home to many active gamblers and they’ll be happy to share their honest reviews with you.

The customer support system is a must thing on any website, not just in gambling, so if the gambling site has a good support system, the members who have a problem will not confuse about solving their problem. They will have a place to ask about their issue, and they can get helped in a short time. The member will feel comfortable with good customer support systems because they don't have to wait too long to see the support teams will solve their case.

Any site can turn into scam, even one that has worked for many years and consistently paid a profit to its users.
Nevertheless, long-term existence will be one of the most important and significant criteria in determining whether a site is a scam or not.

Another important factor will be how much the site’s domain has been paid, because as a rule scammers try to save on their costs and buy domains with a very limited validity period.
Of course, reviews are also one of the components that will help to understand what is happening with the platform, what problems exist, how things are going.
The less the number of negative reviews, the higher the likelihood that the site will still work for a while.

This is right, in internet money talks, and it's easy to buy fake reviews... That's why is important to make full research about the site before making a depo. If you can find a lot of information about the site then is better to stay away from it. The best option is to play in old trusted sites.

That's right, the long-term presence of gambling sites does not guarantee that they will continue to be trusted sites. The fact that people's minds can change at any time like a quote "crime occurs not only because there is the intention of the culprit, but because there is an opportunity" so therefore beware.

For me, a very trusted site is a site that displays the address of a real office or team, because that's a site that has professionalism.

[finaleshot2016]

The thread is still wide open for replies and the question is obviously answerable by using common sense.

Anyways, you can easily determine a gambling site if it's a scam if the investment is too good to be true or really bad, one of the basics. Take some time to do some research to determine that all of the devs are legit and existing. In every platform that's existing on the internet, everyone can manipulate those identities and put some fake information on the platform, so you can catch those by searching, easy as that.

• ways to avoid gambling scams

take time to read this, all of the basics are in there.

Is there a team - Who is the team?
Where did the team come from?
Have they have other functional and completed project?

Reputation - does the site have a comprehensive track record?

Its it transparent, can you see under the hood?

what technology are they using, eg. Are the incorporating Blockchain?

just in case of reputation they should have their own thread here on the forum especially if they use blockchain technology and accept cryptocurrencies as a gambling bet. So here you will find the experiences of previous players who have tried to play on a crypto gambling site.
