There isn't really much you can do if the casino you are playing on is not operating in your country. If it does, you can hire a lawyer and sue them but otherwise the department of justice won't care. In some countries it is even illegal to play at overseas casinos so you can even get jailed for reporting yourself. Long story short, you are effed if the casino don't give your money back.

I will like to first say something about the issue of not reading the terms and conditions of each gambling sites someone is using, the terms and conditions must be read to know if the accusation is scam or not. There are some times you will think the gambling site wants to scam, it may even be scam-like but if already existing in their terms and conditions, then will not be seen as scam even if taken to court.

What matters most is money, if you know you have done the right thing, not againsting the terms and conditions, you can take the gambling site to court, but this will require money and not an option for people that have no enough money.

It is very good to use a reputed gambling site to avoid scam from betting companies.

I think the best you can do is do your own research about the casino you want to play at and then come here in the forum and see the reviews from people here about that casino.Of course do not try to play in newly established casinos no matter the big bonus attractions they may give you as an incentive in the beginning.I am talking about the crypto ones as I believe you are asking about them and this is the best thing to do,do your own research and then come back here,see the list of trusted casinos and list of the ones to avoid in the Gambling section.Only play in casinos which 100% of the forum members considers them trustworthy.I am not naming any but there are a lot of them which you can find as I told you in the Gambling section.

As for legal procedures I hardly have seen anyone winning against a gambling company that has scammed them.So the answer also to this lies in the paragraph above.

If you are a victim of that, you need to reach the local enforcement if the customer service cannot do anything about your case. I think it's essential that you need to check the background of the casino or the gambling site that you are going to participate in because that's going to be crucial if you deposit some money or not. It's always going to be like that, and you cannot blame anyone else if you deposited in a site that's not reputable or doesn't do anything about scam accusations against them.

If it's a gambling site related to cryptocurrencies, I suggest searching the forum first before anything else. You might miss out on something important if you don't.

Well i dont think there is any where to complain about it, you can only post in forums like this about those things but you cannot officially complain as far as i know. As i have also been in this fraud situations and when I complain even in some online places nothing happened even after that years have passed.
It is only good to use trustable sites and not the newbie sites.

Like I also mentioned, better to use a reputed site to avoid issues, but if a gambling company is registered in a country, you can take such dispute to court after consulting your lawyer.

Maybe those people can report to the local authority if they have a problem with the casino so the authority can investigate it and find the real problem behind that. But that will depend on the legality of gambling in your country because if gambling is not legal in your country, you can not do anything except letting your money go. Fraud cases will always happen but we can prevent that before it happens to us and that is why we need to be careful playing gambling.

Not only new casinos is scam but an old casino can be scam and still operated until now, the old scammy casino is on @OP signature ['List] 1xbit scam accusations. Scamming gamblers since 2017 not sure why you create this thread. /facepalm

As mentioned above it's hard to acccuse a casinos if you're not live in same location where the casino operated and doesn't have any license. Not all license will take action against scam casinos because each license has different services. This is the reason why 1xbit owner or team hasn't been jailed

You can go to the court and let this thing further in a legal way if you have a strong proof that you got scammed by that casino. To be honest its not going to be easy still its possible if the amount involved is huge.

Other procedure is to deal with their reputation, in case if you are talking about a casino which is having their representative in bitcointalk then go to scam accusation section where you can create a thread with all the valid proofs.

Sometimes you get exhausted and frustrated before any legal procedure you take against gambling platforms falls through, they have tons of lawyers with a high probability that they have handled similar cases with clients who believe that they have been defrauded.

Another perspective is, you must be really careful with gambling platforms, some are put up by fraudulent individuals who have made it their format to set up fraudulent platforms to swindle cash from unsuspecting individuals, always use gambling platforms that have a good reputation and customer rating.

In my opinion, each case should be considered separately. But somehow I think that in most cases you will not be able to get anything through the court because people engaged in fraud in advance consider all possible situations. I recommend before playing on one of the gambling platforms to study its history and get well acquainted with TOS. Because it is in the TOS are prescribed the main points of contention.

In order to report and get help from the law enforcement agencies, we need that gambling casino are registered with proper license to operate. Since there are many casino which are running without an license, in case they fraud with you, then unfortunately we are not in a position to take this matter in the court of law. Most of the times, no one knows who is running the casino as most of the casino are being run anonymously online.

I doubt though that local enforcement has help you with such case. Who has the overall jurisdiction of the case? That is the big question specially in online bookies.

Yes, we even have dedicated board for that, to raise your concern. But it will be like "he said, she said", so you better be prepared of all the evidences, screen shots of the messages or email conversation and then maybe the community can help in settling the case.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I'm no expert here but I think they can contact the license provider and report it? or is there other way to report fraud gambling sites? Some gambling sites just closed down their businesses and after a report but until now I'm still not sure what is the right process to report gambling sites with and without gambling license.

I think it's a big help to post it in the forum since many people could see it and probably stay away from that website.

Since gambling was created there have been people trying to take advantage of "the house" and it is nothing new. Unless you're talking about very large amounts of money (tens of thousands) then it is probably not even worth it for the casino to try and take the legal route because that has it's own set of extra expenses. The casino would be much better using any further money to lockdown the original problem or figure out new ways to detect fraud being committed against them. If you're talking about players being defrauded, then simply you have to take more due diligence when looking for a place to play - there are lots of threads here and if you flick through the last few pages to see if there are many allegations of bad treatment it will help you avoid most issues (e.g. 1xbit are clearly fraudsters)

Not only screenshots/logs etc, you should screen record your bets too because the casino might say "you forged the screenshots". It is possible to create fake screenshots. When you are dealing with money, it is probably better to record your actions because you'll never know when they'll decide to scam you. There are many free screen recording software out there. OBS should be a good one. There are probably others too.

If the gambling company is within the region where a victim is reporting a gambling fraud to the court an action can be taking from the court if only there is a real evidence from the victim. A case where by the gambling site is abroad from the victim it will be difficult for the victimq to do anything about any kind of fraud accusation.

if you are going for legal actions it is best to hire a lawyer that specializes in these kinds of cases. they know what to do and what steps to take to make the situation in your favor. that being said there is still no guarantee that you'll win if you ever take a gambling company on a court but hiring a lawyer is your best option.

As long as the casino has its address and they're the actual and real address, someone who became a victim of their fraud can file a case against them.
If you want to know more about legal procedures then it's the attorney to have the background on it or should you research about the process into your country about such.
