Online Gaming Scams during Pandemic. How to Stay Safe.

[Wexnident]

Scams will keep you in all shapes and sizes. Even at casinos and gambling sites with a respectable license you can run into problems. It is best to start from your own experiences and not to be guided too much by what people write on a forum. Some players absolutely love Casino A, while other players have a bad experience with Casino A. Opinions will always be divided.

That's quite far from the idea of scams though. Scam accusations are absolutely far from comments of the experience of users. For example is Casino A has slow a f customer support compared to Casino B, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Casino A is a scam, it's just that their support is slow. Opinions are not really things you check when it comes to scam accusations, since most accusations are based on facts. They're information that has proof, that shows that the casino is a scam, it isn't an opinion anymore. It's not like users will say that, "Casino A scammed me and it was quite pleasant".

That means we need to find what we are looking for and not depend on other people's reviews. That is good, but maybe we can get more information if we can try the casino based on the other members here because member here will give their honest reviews to the casino. Besides that, we always suggest to the casino or the owner to fix or solve the problem and help the casino become better in the future.

Sometimes the experience of others are enough basis for us to know on what kind of casino we are looking to go thru and its bad experience if we lose money our money then learn from it although mostly this happens all the time but we can do a research to do minimal losses or learn from the other mistakes.

Also its not surprising about divided outlook since not everyone have the same taste.

And this is the importance of making your own research first when you are in doubts because there are people who are really very keen towards engaging on certain things.Some would be mindful and some would be just careless and make out deposits directly without seeing or making some research on whats the reputation if its good or currently have lots of complaints and accusations. Making some search wont cost you an arm and leg because this should at least be on standard where someone do make out some verification first before proceeding any deposits.

You are contradicting what you just said here.

...not depend on other people's reviews.
...member here will give their honest reviews to the casino.

It is said that scammers are everywhere and the best way to avoid them is not to entertain someone that you don't know or if their offer is too good to be true then start searching it for yourself. Some reviews are made up only just to boost the rating of a certain casino it happens to different store too and reviews somehow are made up, they paid people to say nice things about this and that but most of them didn't actually tried or visited the site yet. It happens a lot to some fake online store that's why I'm too meticulous about looking a legit reviews.

It's like you the same pattern they did to make it more like appealing to new audiences yet that's all BS. Trust your guts if you do your own research and always look for a legitimate website that has a working and responsive tech support all the time.

Correct, those two things are completely different, if a user says good things about one casino and your experience was different but you were not scammed and many users have the same opinion as the other user then it is likely that you were just unlucky or you got in contact with a bad employee or a person having a bad day, scamming is a completely different topic and as long as there is even a single case brought against a casino and that was judged by the community as a scam then we need to stay away from that casino.

Then you like can't trust anything? I don't think it's the right way to deal with it. Normally, good sites are getting good reviews and bad sites are getting bad ones. Also, it's not that hard to distinguish a genuine review from a paid one, biased in this or that direction.

It's not about opinions, it's about facts with some proof. Spotting a scam is easy, you just have to spend some time on that.

Making up more research doesnt really cost an arm and leg and with just your own common sense you can able to determine which one is fake and which one is legit when it comes to reviews and feedback hence this community alone is really keen when it comes on spotting out possible or shady websites even though they do have some positive feedbacks or sentiments but basing up with real user experience.So asking out on the community
wont really be that much of  problem and if you are in doubt then you can ask out everytime.

Even at casinos and gambling sites with a respectable license you can run into problems.

You can have various problems with legit casinos but that's a vague comparison if it's about the topic of scam casinos. Scam casinos won't give you any resolution for the trouble that they'll bring.
But those legit casinos, they'll find a way to help you solve what you're experiencing badly with them. That's just a really odd comparison if it's all about saying a casino is a scam and a casino that can have a problem to their users which are solvable.

Be safer by limiting your bet, don't bet in just one casino, learn how to minimize the risk because we never know when they will close shop and take our money. There's a lot of reputable casino in the past that goes dark after years of operation, so it could happen again in the future as crypto casinos, in general, are not really well regulated, and that's where it's considered as a high-risk activity for us.

Well, you think a gambling site that has a licensed will barely scam its users or take the money and close the shop?
It is really hard to trust a gambling casino that we did not know but I think it will consider if the gambling casino is reputable enough and perhaps you will never have a deposit of thousands of millions in dollar value. However, if I going to choose a gambling online casino, I prefer to deposit a large amount of money after knowing that they already operated at least how many months, not just a week.

When dealing up with new casino then it isn't ideal to deposit big amounts directly and some do still test out waters before putting big amounts into their gambling account.

Its just part of our common sense and able to tell that there are factors which you can directly tell if a site is shady or not really good at all in terms of UI and
other factors.

You can easily spot it out if you get used to play into those reputable and good looking sites.You can just it for yourself if its really worth to make out a deposit
or not.

Lots of new casinos have appeared online since the pandemic occurred, because the demand for online gambling must be admittedly increasing.
And what's scary is that not all new casinos can be trusted, even quite a lot of new casinos end up being scams. Therefore, it is not recommended
to deposit large amounts when trying to play gambling at new casinos. Just in case the new casino doesn't have a problem, or it's safer to avoid
playing at a new casino without a good reputation.

You understand very well what is happening in the current situation, moldy new gambling sites.

Update:
I just remind the members of this forum, especially for gambling addicts, that you must have a strong and solid commitment and stance, towards the online gambling sites that you trust that you have been playing.

I have seen lately that there are many topics that bring each other down, fair and trusted gambling sites, by many beginners, I remind you, don't be fooled by their actions dropping each other, you stay on the stand/play on gambling sites that you think are safe and reliable.

Stay careful in doing something that can harm yourself.

Experience is the best to make yourself more successful because in the end, you are the player you hear the different experience and knowledge of other people but not all the time you immediately apply those skills unlike you experience this by yourself, if you may experience those winnings good to you because you learn if you experience those losses still good to you because you can now prevent those might happen again. There's no much difference on gambling casino and gambling platform right today because come up with different knowledge and experience.

[famososMuertos]

It is always good to take these types of premises into account, although basic, it is incredible to think that the statistics in those who do not take them always remain in trend, there is always someone who does not use some of these tips because they believe that it will not happen or because of ignorance .

So although many are simple common sense, they must be promoting.

On the other hand, I think that tip seven , please avoid them, neither credit card or debit card; just use crypto deposits in any casino.

[gabbie2010]

Well it all boils down to being more skeptical with whatever it is you are getting into especially if it involves you spending money on it. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist debunking all gambling sites out there as some sort of hidden scam sites. Just be a bit wary. Do your own research. That's all you need to do.

This should be a normal routine every time you visit any site and there should be no excuse in gambling site. As this pandemic forces as to transact more often online, hackers are also doing their best to look for their victim, we should always be cautious. We have to do our research all the time, don’t believe easily on what you saw online.

If you don't want to waste time just doing research every day, you can only use famous and trusted sites. because only that way, at least you already have good security even though it's not 100%, because the security that becomes perfect is coming from yourself about how you consider every offer you receive, the most important thing is to keep high vigilance and not careless in making decisions.

I only gambled with well established gambling site who had been in the gambling system for a long time, I am unmoved  or attracted by the new ones who always promises bogus bonuses in a bid to lure newbies gamblers, I had been very careful, vigilant and try to  avoid signing or gambling with scam sites unfortunately  many of those casinos and gambling sites are unregulated thus capitalized on this anomaly to scam newbies, it's up to gamblers to follow the steps itemized by the OP to avoid falling into scam.

Scammers and hackers will increase when the market is increasing also , they Knew that because of casino Houses being closed because of the pandemic then Newbies in Online gambling will also increase so what they need to hunt are those Newbies and Noobs .

That's why last year , when the casinos are closed , i do posting everyday in my social media accounts for the safeties of my friends towards the possible scams and hacks they might encounter .

That's right, after all we just need to buy or exchange it to crypto and it's already quite easy and safe for us to use to make deposits. Many of them are deceived because of carelessness and do not find out in advance about the sites related to the various offers made, in this case at least everyone or novice gamblers or do not always put vigilance and consideration to pay more attention and start with money that is ready to lose. Because, a research will still lead us to fraud and by using money that is ready to be lost, at least when we are trapped we do not experience big losses.

I observe from the television and local newspaper that people tend to go to the public area when the long weekend comes, which is very crowd and some do not follow the health protocol.
I do not know what people think when they are in the public area or out there about the virus because I think they do not think seriously about the virus and that proves by disobeying wearing the mask, washing their hand, and using social media distancing between them.
It is really sad to see that they do not imagine how if they get infected by the virus, but I really hope they can protect themselves and stay healthy.
We do not have to follow what they did because it is for our health and the people around us, so we really need to care about that.

It's not the case. New gamblers still choose the popular ones and there are records for it - the reason why there are stats. If these people ended up playing in a scam site, there should be no trace of them in the statistics.

The problem is not the scam but the gamblers themselves. Since as you said, the demand for online gambling increase, lots of people, even those who are not really into gambling, test what gambling is, and some ended up worst because of lack of knowledge, emotions, and being carried away.
