How do you know if the gambling site is a scam or not? how you trust a gambling site for you credit card and know its not a scam?

Thanks to bitcoin you don’t need to give your credit card information or details about your identity anymore to any casino that is one of the great things that bitcoin has allowed us to have, so fortunately you don’t have to worry about it in this day and age.

Read some thread on Bitcointalk. Read some reviews on google too. However, google are not trustful because some website are paid to write good thing about scamming casinos. And you should learn to protect yourself first when you join this cyber world. The best way (in my opinion) is to ask for information from members from this forum. They are reliable and you can trust them

yeah exactly, but usually I just look at her nice or not display the site itself, if of the view is not good usually I will not continue to go deeper. but if from the look of the site is not good but already well-known in the bitcointalk forum, I will be comfortable to go deeper.

those famous casino here in bitcointalk were really used by many and with a lots of supporters or users. I think they were reliable enough to continue their works protecting their established trust rating by their users. I don't they planned to scam knowing how people supports them now, I know there were polls for casinos and we might see often their signature here in bitcointalk.

Well I just search for user input here in the forum. If a site is well known here, and has no scam accusations, and users give them good rates and feedback, that should be a good indicator that it's trustworthy. Of course that anything could still happen, so I usually don't put to much coins on it as well.

The best thing do to ascertain if a gambling site is scam or not is through reading some articles and forum regarding to that site. I also tend to check when that gambling site was built and how active it is. I don't look if a gambling site is attractive or it's kinda relaxing to play but I always tend to play in a gambling site which has a good review and easy to play.

Yes, but still it's not advisable to deposit your BTC on any site which is not whitelisted by the community of gamblers first. Depositing on a new site is a big risk and since there are many established ones it's better to use them rather than new ones.

Actually you can't know if this site is scam or not, you either have to trust them and then see if they scammed you or not, or you can try to read reviews about that gambling site online. You can read more here if you're interested about small signs of scam site https://www.bitcoinsportsbooks.com/scam-warnings/

If you are really worried to lose your money, i think you shouldn't try new sites, just play in ones that everyone knows that are legit, and you ill be fine.

First of all you could never know but there are some actions you can do before you sign up and deposit balance. Do some research about the site and ask yourself the following questions. Are there any scam accusations already? How long does the site already exist? Is it a new one or an established one. Does the site provide information about algorithms (especially for dice sites)? How long does it take to withdraw balance? Is it processed immediately or does it needs a manual processing which usually takes some hours?

maybe it is just me but i actually don't trust what i read on a website when it comes to trust and security related stuff. because a website is owned by one person and that one person can get paid to post anything that pays more (we are seeing this clearly with news sites these days).

instead i prefer reading feedback about any service (not only casinos) on public forums that anybody can comment. that way you can't hide anything.

I usually review the site on google you can also ask questions in the forum by creating a thread in the gambling board at once to attach the link. if not solve your doubts, you can contact the customer service at the site or make a support ticket.

Its your responsibility as a gambler to seek for indications if a site is well built or not,using cheap domain or not,well designed or cheap.It depend on your judgement and we do have the commonsense to spot a site is legit or not thats why its really important to seek out first on community feedbacks before deciding to engage.

The first thing you should do is check its provably fair mechanism, if you understand it, or at least find people who do understand it to consider it for you.

If it doesn't have one, the chances are that it's either a scam or intends to become one in the future.  You need to research their owners and background in order to consider if they're legit.

You could also look at gambling site scripts and see if theirs follows one closely.  If it looks like they haven't put a lot of effort in, it's probably a scam.

If you are not really good technically, yo can just simply read the comments of gamblers and this community gives a good review on a  gambling sites so it would be easy for you to know if it's legitimate or not as long as you will also take some effort to read. You can ask in your local thread if you do not really speak english well, or anything that would give you relevant information.

For you to find out if the gambling site is scam or not, I think the sign is if the gambling site is not paying the any amount of your winning in the games. Or if you deposit something to your bankroll every time you withdraw your balance there is a delayed happened or etc. And of course the team admin the of the gambling must be active together with the owner too.

Never take chances, especially when it is about money. The gambling section offers an extensive review of the most popular gambling houses so you just have to read that section and draw your own conclusions. I suggest you to play with well known and established gambling houses and not venture into new ones without them being tested thoroughly by other users.

There high chance that casinos/sportbooks which use standard money transfer methods are not gonna scam you.
At least if we are talking about big, well known services like William Hill or bet-at-home, bwin or bet365.
As you said the only major problem is sharing your personal info, which might be not cool for most people.

[game-protect]

You could only know already existing scams, you can not know upcoming scams. A site did not scam until today, does not mean they will not scam tomorrow!

The shills will tell you otherwise, but it is like this.

However, it is helpful to take a look at Online Gambling Scams and a consumer protection service could be also helpful.

We need to search their site in Google if they are really trusted or not before you enter any gambling site, and read feedback and reviews about them so you may know if they are really trusted or not. Always make sure that money is what we earn all the time and we didn't just get the money from somewhere it is from our hard work so value our income.
