Tips on How to Stay Safe and Avoid Scams When Gambling Online

[Casdinyard]

A lot of people join new casino and sportsbook platforms only for the bonuses they offer to new gamblers without realizing that it can actually be a trap. I don't say that all new platforms are untrustworthy, but it is always better to be cautious when joining a new platform, and as you said, if a platform asks for KYC verification that you recently joined and which isn't a very old platform, you should think twice or maybe more than that before you submit your personal information and documents.

This is the reason why it is better to simply stick with the old or trustworthy casino and sportsbook platforms so that you don't have to be worried about getting scammed or your personal details and documents being used for gaining money or maybe even in bad things which might cause you trouble.

Exactly. There's always the risk of crossing with a site that you shouldn't have cause they are a blatant scam ripoff that'll steal your money and quite possibly your information too, when it comes to playing with obscure casinos as well as those that are just starting. Always a rule of thumb of mine cause you can't really trust even those "old gambling sites" as you put it is to just play with casinos that are in this forum. That way push comes to shove we can contact them and possibly provide feedback as well should things go awry and we did get scammed.

Just like what happened with Betnomi, that site's one of the most trusted ones out here but out of nowhere they left with the players' money. People were informed of it right away and contingencies were set to provide some form of recompense to the users affected. You won't be able to do that with any other site mind you.

From your explanation, it might be more in the KYC process. Well, actually that's not a 100% guarantee, right? Because no matter what, there will still be risks. And rather than just thinking about that, I would prefer a platform that has proven to be reputable, trusted, and has also been operating for a long time with good reviews and reputation. In this forum there are several platforms that are promoted and they already have high trust. So just do some research to be sure. This will be much better than registering on an unclear platform, especially just gambling advertisements with the promise of fantastic jackpot prizes.

Know that KYC is becoming mandatory on online casinos. Even the ones you are thinking that do not require KYC will have withdrawal limit and if exceeded or you won huge amount, you will provide KYC documents.

The gambling sites are also centralized and can force you to provide KYC documents at anytime.

It is true that some gambling sites may be selling your data, that is why it is good to use reputable ones. Although providing KYC means that your data can be given to or leaked to other parties.

Only playing on gambling sites that have a good reputation is highly recommended, especially with the rampant activity of buying and selling personal data that continues to this day. and also don't easily believe in bonuses provided by a new gambling site, many of them only use it as a trick to entice users to make more deposits on their gambling site.

Just make use of your own common sense and this one would really be saving up your @ss on getting scammed just because you have just dive in into something which its too good to be true or not something that could really be able to see on every currently existing platforms or casinos which if those bonuses are already that big or something that gives out impression that it is really just that better then you should really be that skeptical
and having those kind of doubts whenever you do encounter these things. If you do find yourself not minding about these basic stuffs then you are really that prone into possible scam which those scam projects or platforms would really be taking advantage of you.

In overall, if you do want not to be victimized then it would really be always recommended that better stick into those old and reputable ones. Although it wont really be that bad on testing out some new platforms
because these old ones are once new too. You would eventually notice if the project is legit or that credible on just look with those common safety checks and you could really be able to find or observe
it on your own.

I said in my last post in one of your threads that the number of threads you have already created in this section is impressive, but it is also unbelievable that they are topics that place bitcoin as something that solves all problems and has nothing that is disadvantageous, the Sometimes you focus so much on presenting bitcoin as something so incredible that you forget negative things too, for example on your topic, you forgot that now there is kyc so there are no longer things like anonymity in casinos, and you still say that All you need is an email and password to use crypto casinos, when we all know that you have to enter more real data, such as name and phone number in certain cases

Another thing is the tips you posted on how to avoid scam casinos, they are tips that will not help people to avoid scam casinos, that's because you made it seem like all crypto casinos are honest while fiat casinos are scam. when in fact many crypto casinos are scams, this is because as this cryptocurrency market has a lack of laws, so scammers took advantage of this and created casinos in which they are anonymous, you should have the courage to talk about this negative side of this crypto market but you became someone who blindly defends bitcoin

this is not good, it is bad. In an investment and currency, you have to look at the positive and negative side of things and not mislead people with your opinions that only speak well about cryptocurrencies and their crypto casinos, I like this market, but I can't deceive people saying that crypto casinos are all honest because they are casinos that accept bitcoin. I hope you improve your articles in the next few times

Why would anyone giveout detailed informations on a crypto casino site that's operated by humans just like themselves?.. ain't not way a scam free casino gonna intrigue that deep into your privacy; The most reasons why peeps read properly, the terms of operation and service of every site they'd wanna try out for the first time...
About selling a user's information, that's actually happening...FR...I guess alot of peeps that create post in here to get informations about casinos to be considered the best isn't doing the wrong thing though.

This is why if you are in this forum, you are lucky to learn the reputable casinos or bookies.
Because reading their threads alone and the reviews will give you insights on how the site is treating their clients.
It is not because the site is requiring KYC to its users, the reason why they are reputable, but it is how
they handle each and every issue that they encounter with their players.
So it would take time to learn if the site is indeed reputable and taking care of their players, big or small time rollers.

So, by looking for casinos on this forum, it is enough for them to get a reputable casino or bookie that they can use to gamble and stay away from any trouble. You are right that reading each casino's threads can provide more information for those looking for other casinos to add to their list of favorite casinos. Besides that, they can also find out the response from other members or the casino if someone asks or complains about something.

Reputable casinos always try to provide the best for their customers and satisfy them in many ways. And even though their search takes time, finding a suitable casino for them to play at is still worth it. This will prevent them from fraud, which often occurs out there.

A reputable gambling site will provide satisfactory service to its customers so they can keep returning to the casino and spend some money trying to win the game. And the research we do by looking for data from this forum can be very helpful in finding a reputable casino that can provide comfort in gambling. Moreover, we don't need to read the reviews circulating on the internet, many of which are fake and can give a wrong review about the casino.

These tips are obviously valid but when you try out different types of rather new and expanding casinos you will see that all of them will ask many detailed information about you because of law enforcement. Everyone knows typical methods like not writing your credit card numbers anywhere but other than that you don't have much leverage against fraud casino. They ask information first! They can use that information any way they like (if they are fraud of course). This is why I always suggest to use known online casinos like stake com only where you will be safe.

[Mauser]

You do that by not giving up your information. Again, there are plenty of solid, legit, honest online sportsbook companies.

Some, though, make money by selling your information. Selling someone else’s information is a horrible practice.

There’s no way for us to know which companies are selling our information and which don’t. So stop scammers from ever getting your info by not opening an online betting account with any organization that asks for more than just an email address.

In a perfect world we might be able to operate completely anonymously online, but today it's not really possible. More and more casinos ask for KYC when processing larger withdrawals, it's nearly impossible to avoid them. And even if we only gamble at casinos that treat our personal information with the highest level of security, it's no guarantee that there is a scam running. Only some scams involve our personal information. Another scam can be that the casino runs fake games and bets to take increase their house edge. Or even worse the casino runs an exit scam and closes down operations overnight stealing all the remaining customer balances. We should be careful only looking for one specific scam. It's better to be cautious and look for all type of scams.

Just like what happened with Betnomi, that site's one of the most trusted ones out here but out of nowhere they left with the players' money. People were informed of it right away and contingencies were set to provide some form of recompense to the users affected. You won't be able to do that with any other site mind you.

This is where the importance of this forum reflects on how it can prove to give an extra layer of security for everyone.

As a general rule, before a player invests in a specific gambling website, one should always refer to this forum and utilize the search bar in order to know if a gambling website is genuine or not. Like what you have mentioned, what happened to Betnomi was very unexpected. But at least, people were informed right away when some complained and created a thread about it. Majority were able to quickly remove and transfer their funds, though some had fallen to their shady exit scam.

I just hope that people will see the importance and value of this forum. Not only does this provide additional information to cryptocurrency, this is also gives everyone all the detailed and updated news on at least almost everything that is crypto related.

If an online casino is registered offshore many players won't trust it because most times they can disappear with people's money and could be found nowhere. Hence, for a cryptocurrency or bitcoin casino to be trusted, it must have to earn it, through positive reviews from players, and reliable customer services to solve players problems. Like other members said, kyc is now needed to play games online. So, the exact privacy players are expected to gain on bitcoin casinos is no longer there. The only difference between the cryptocurrency casinos and other online casinos is the payment and withdrawal method. It can be a hassle to withdraw our earnings to banks, in some cases, extra banking documents are required by the casino, which goes down to extracting private information from the players. In cryptocurrency casinos, such information as banking detail is not required during withdrawal.

The online gambling at first need to build the good trust among the gamblers,because in the past many gambling sites had scammed the people who hold big money in their wallet.So it may fear them to involve their money to the new gambling site.If you want to use the gambling sites,it was most essential for the gamblers to check about the gambling site owners.The crypto based casino help the gambler to not pay the taxes to their bank and the government.The withdraw method of the crypto casino is easy,the money automatically added to the crypto wallet.But for the fiat,the bank need to verify the each incoming transaction.

I think where the problem lies is that people don't want to have that first trust in these casinos especially the new ones because not all online reviews are genuine and that alone isn't good enough to know which casino will have the intention of scamming or not, talking about kyc as well, if users provide them with these information, that doesn't stops them from unleashing their fraudulent acts, ours is to increase and tightened the level of research we conducted on them before gambling or better still, we should use the old existing ones with high reputation and consistency.

When it comes to transferring funds and whatsoever correlated such condition then we do know on what are those differences and the fact that this is the main reason on why cryptocurrency did really get that traction and recognition because on the fact that you could really be able to deal up with things anonymously or something that cant be tracked or known and this is why it did really get that demand which it do becomes bigger and bigger as the times passing by. Trust is something that should be built overtime and cant really be rushed and on the time that new platforms do exist then it would really be just that normal that there would really be hesitance on the time that they would really be launching and as for us gamblers who might be getting interesting on getting some involvement or simply testing out the platform then it would really be just that wise on putting up some mere amounts of money which they could be able to test out the waters because if it turns out to be a scam one then you arent that putting or endagering yourself on possible scamming attempt.

This is where this forum comes in, if you already know the gambling boards in this forum.
You will be one lucky gambler as reading the threads and discussions here will give you more than enough information about these casinos and bookies.
Just by lurking around here will be your guide which sites are trustworthy or not, also, in case you have a problem, people or their reps can assist you.
Recently, I've seen a withdrawal problem in one of the casinos promoted here. And then it got resolved.
If you happen to play in the casinos outside this forum, what is the likelihood that you will get a resolution in a prompt manner?

I don't see why you could avoid scams by signing up only to the Bitcoin casino with an email address. You still can be scammed by a scam BTC casino out there because the crypto casinos these days are asking KYC as well.

What you need to do to stay safe is to sign up only to the trusted Bitcoin casino. The famous ones have been operating the business for a long time because this for sure is not gonna close shops because of your $1M.

Agree. Since most the casino sites ask for KYC, it is difficult to apply that suggestion. To join the casinos, we need to give detailed information, not only an email address. Nitrobetting may ask for email only, but other casinos don't. It is only applicable on Nitrobetting. Anyway, when someday we get a big prize, will Nitrobetting never ask for detailed information? @nitrobetting

Sure, the most effective way is to be more selective in choosing the casinos. Choose reputable casinos only, never join casinos that have bad issues. We are better to avoid joining random or new casinos sites, too.

This is the trend now and most crypto casinos are being regulated and KYC is a thing there.
Choosing the reputable site can at least give you the peace of mind that your personal data will be safe from them and of course you’ll get to experience the best gambling site. Security is a big thing that you must not ignore, if there’s a 2fA option do it, that is for your own benefit and for your own security.

Though sometimes, 2FA is not the indicator if a casino is legitimate or not. There are casinos out there that impose 2FA all the while being a scam in reality. They get two birds in one stone with you submitting your personal info plus giving them some money should you wish to deposit on them. The key is looking for authentic reviews for the site and see if it has established user base already. A rule of thumb I'd like to follow is if there isn't a thread for the casino already existing here in bitcointalk, it could be a possible scam - at least for me.
