How to know if a gambling site is a scam or not?

[Herbert2020]

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?

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

Thanks for the help, but how do you that google can help you by searching as you said some companies offer to pay good reviews on scam gambling sites. How would i know if member from this forum would surely help me?. As a newbie. It would hard for me to trust members in here right?.

you are not supposed to take the words of a random person on the internet as granted ever. no matter if it is positive review or negative review. these feedbacks are just there to give you some general opinion about a particular service. you need to learn to read them and process it yourself. see if they are lying when they say something is good or bad and see if they provide any proof when they say it or are they just saying a random thing or even possibly getting paid to say it or for example are the competition who are saying it.

and in the end you should always use money that you can afford to lose.

I really do accept for most part and if you really wanted to find out whether the site is a scam you have to play it out and find it yourself and for me personally i do only gamble in respected sites which are active for a very long time and i would bother to go to new sites if one of my peers are involved with the project in anyway,if not i would wait it out.

Well most of the time you can stick to trusted sites that are mentioned a lot on this forum and that'll cover most of the games that you probably want to play since most of the major ones are provably fair.

When you need to check, you could ask about the specific site on the forum, or put in a small amount of Bitcoin (0.0001 or so) and fiddle around with it to see how often you get payouts.  Be careful though, there are some sites that pay for small amounts but not for larger ones.

You can never know if a site is trusted or not. Many gambling sites pay out the winning bets in the first few months and then turn scam taking a huge amount. Dadice was one example that even had a signature campaign and was considered trustworthy for months but they suddenly closed their services. Primedice is one such site that has been paying out since years and can be considered trustworthy while sportsbet.io is also another trustworthy website. You should never pay via your credit card on such sites and only use bitcoin payment methods.

There are indications that a gambling site is probably  scam.  You can check their software if it is licensed.  Or their games is provably fair, if it is not then most probably it is a scam gambling site.  Aside from that you can also check the support or contact information.

Google is your partner here since you could actually know all the specific details of a certain gambling site regarding on their reputation,status,feedbacks from previous and recent player and if you found out theres some issues related to it then its better not to play or keep away on that site if you dont like to lose up money.

As I know for example dicebitco.in was the promising site when it launch. Everyone praise it out but the fact is their bet is being rigged in order to cheat people's money

So for me, predicting gambling site especially online web based is just like another gambling attempt beside real gambling so just make sure that you have afford to lose with preparation twice if you bet on web based gambling site

this could be indication although there is not always work as indications because if the gambling site is run by professional people, i think they will anticipated this so people which came into their site don't know that they are a target for them. i think we can know that gambling site is scam or not is by trying to deposit some amount, playing the games, if we have reach the minimal amount, we can try to withdraw and see its work automate or manual and we can see if the site is really paying or not.

From your statement, I just realize that we are getting into gambling with two layers of risks.

First we need to risk against the gambling houses' reliability after that their house edge. Fortunately through this forum we could find legit gambling sites so easily. Hence the 50% of the above mentioned risks will not come to action most of the time.

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?

Any site that asks for a verification of documents is most probably a scam, talking about crypto based gambling sites.

Other than asking proofs there are other signs like if a site stops sending withdrawals and delay them without any logical reason then never keep high balance there. Though not always delay means a scam on line, take example of cloudbet they have been delaying a lot but yet not scammed.

Seriously ? If you had common sense then you will know already if the gambling site is scam or not. Most of gambling website are legit but it can be scam anytime if the admin closed the gambling site but to be honest they used there personal information to build and lots of reputation he gets already.

If we were to play on all the sites and then determine if they are scam or legit then it would take like an age to gamble on most of the site. The best way to determine if a site is scam or not is by looking at the recent bets on a site, because if a site has gone scam you won't see many bets or activity on that site.

yes with stick to trusted sites will ensure you will never scammed from other sites and i do agree with you that ask to this forum is necessary too if you doubt to the particulars sites because usually people will provide the feedback for those sites

Check the announcement thread of these gambling sites to see if they are scamming other players or not. Search some reviews/scam accusations about the gambling site. Before using a credit card triple check or just use another payment method because I already saw some people complaining about getting charged for different transactions.

So much scam operation nowadays like having hidden TOS, asking Verification ID, etc. You need to search that information to know which site is good to play with good support and easy to withdraw without any requirements to do.

It's not really hidden, most gamblers just register and play right away without reading the terms and conditions of the casino.

We Cannot know If the gambling site is a scam or not? Try it first Or read reviews or comments In the site or search In the internet search the site if the site is not scam they you should go the site.. I just know when a gambling site is a scam when they do not pay their players but I trust the gambling site when I see proofs that they are paying or have paid their players on the given time frame.

Yeah and the best way for me that I use to decide if a site is trusted or not is that I visit that particular site's thread here and if the owner has no poor comments on his trust page then usually there are no issues.

The feedbacks here define a lot, take example of PD they have no poor feedbacks while Dirctbet have some feedbacks about aggressive advertising which is indeed true though they are legit as fuck !

Yes that should be the first thing to do. Try to read. Problem is they are just too lazy to read and browse the comments.
Look for somebody that is trusted here and if he says its legit then why not try. Though it doesn't really tell how it could end up it is a good start.
Well, you are gambling and taking a risk so that will happen most of the time.

There was a gambling site that was provably fair but they were changing the bet results for mostly high betting amounts and one user caught this scam after a long time. Till then, they kept working as a genuine gambling site and this attempt was a shocking proof of how any site can change the results.

I remember betcoin.tm also being caught in a similar scam.

[CODE200]

Well if you are a newbie or a first timer in a particular gambling site it will be a bit difficult or you to identify if the gambling site is full of scam perpetrator and culprit who happens to be a mastermind of this gambling website have already analyzed and studied thre scam website to be a similar like a real gambling website so it would take time for a viewer or players to figure it out the scam on going to a scam gambling website.

I also do not have much experience to know about the scams but still I use some useful tricks like I see that the site is probably fair or not and the other step I use is I often believe on old sites and I also use only Bitcoin Gambling sites
