Richy.casino - The dumbest scam I've every seen

[jordanw21]

I read that one more bitcointalk user was scammed there, so I'm creating a scam accusation.

I want to warn moderators, that this is not classic scam accusation, this is about SHADY casino here. I'll explain later what I mean.


I'm talking about this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.0

Let's go step by step.

4th September - the date it was created.

Bitcointalk users discuss how good it is (lorem ipsum talk - i don't know how to describe it). I decided to give it a chance.


5th September - I was scammed

So my message was: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62799922#msg62799922

Yes, I lost money by myself, but I lost them because of NO WITHDRAWAL in this casino. Let's go further:

8th September - All 1k Promo Codes for Bitcointalk were used in less then 24hours

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62814206#msg62814206

Whether they were abused or the casino decided to void them. VERY SUSPICIOUS.

12th September - One more user had issue with getting email to withdraw money

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62830061#msg62830061

Also, casino told that they DON'T HAVE CURACAO LICENSE, so they have not rights to ask for KYC, unless to scam more users.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62832891#msg62832891

13th September - they changed tactic, from no sending email to doing KYC

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62838391#msg62838391

14th September - new bitcointalk user scammed, no email as well

9 days - they don't care about fixing the email newsletter.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62844094#msg62844094

Some of bitcointalk users talking bs about Philippine license, design, domain name - are those reviews fake and bought buy a casino?


Also, this user decided to play their game and completed verification, what's now?
Verification:
Dear user, verification can take up to 7 bank days (but usually it's not longer than 1-2 days) - guys, they have like 10 players, it'll hook 15 mins to verify someone.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465617.msg62845467#msg62845467

Withdrawal:
Withdrawal process consists of two stages: internal confirmation of the withdrawal request and the crediting time frames after the transaction has been processed. Internal confirmation is manual and the requests are processed in turn, therefore, it can take from several minutes to several hours (from 10 minutes up to 72 hours)


You should close the topic, as at least 2 bitcointalk users were scammed by this platform. It took them 10 days. And how many will get scammed in future, when they'll win something there?? Shady casino doesn't care about users wellness, right after my issue with email, richy.casino representative create promo-code to all bitcointalk community. He/she knows that casino doesn't have withdrawal opportunities, but their target is to get ours money. That's it.

Haven't done much research on Richy.casino, looks like research will be needed from now on. Richy.casino's representative is on this forum, so this representative should elaborate on this complaint. You have not clarified here what is the main reason why you are in this situation, which will make it difficult for members to understand your problem. So you tell us in more detail what is the real reason here, because you have written a lot here but I think it is all incomplete. So can you do the full post with specific reasons to make it easier to understand.

[robelneo]

Create the right format for it if you think you have been scammed @Ulven and the other user could enlighten us as to what happened to their account, with so many bugs on their account it is not good for now to deposit and play money until they fix all the issues like the email verification.
There is no problem with a Philippine-based license if someone has been scammed here Pagcor is responsive in addressing the issue and flagging the casino, but for now, let's give the representative of Richy.casino to address the issue since he is very active here.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Doesn't look good to me. There are so many complaints and the representative on the forum either ignores them in the thread or says they are dealing with them but no satisfactory answers in the thread.

From what the OP has said, I would just like to point out one thing:

Also, casino told that they DON'T HAVE CURACAO LICENSE, so they have not rights to ask for KYC, unless to scam more users.

If they have a licence, supposedly one from the Philippines now, they can ask for KYC.

Really? Although the format is what is recommended for this section, I believe that the OP is quite detailed so that only with this the community can investigate and, if appropriate, act accordingly, as well as the representative defend himself against the accusations.

I agree.

[Little Mouse]

I want to warn moderators, that this is not classic scam accusation, this is about SHADY casino here. I'll explain later what I mean.

Which moderators? A scam isn't moderated in bitcointalk. You must use your common sense and be your own guide.
Sorry for what happened to you.

It's strange though, what makes you jump on a new casino?

No, it's not going to happen. See my first sentences in this reply.

I will check out the whole issue and tag them if you are true.

[coin-investor]

There are issues with this casino obviously they are not prepared to launch, and they should close the registration, OP is right in posting all his findings, and the representative of Richy.casino should address the issue ASAP.

They should have tested their platform for bugs before opening a thread here imagine if people who played here and won who are not aware of the existence of the thread here are at a loss and they have to wait before they can withdraw if they are allowed to withdraw their earnings they have to wait for several days.

The issue is that the casino doesn't refuse to withdraw. They just don't have that option. Due to technical issues. And I won't create this topic if:
1) Representative answered on my reply in his thread instead of pushing his "promo"
2) Noone else got the same situation as I got.


Maybe, I'm not right about the Phillipine-based license. But seeing a non-trustworthy crypto casino that requires KYC because they did the wrong math with bonuses...As I replied in the casino topic, the casino is probably run by 1-2 persons, who are very new to this business and their goal is not to create an astonishing product but to earn some money and sell/close it.

Despite the fact that this forum does not moderate scam, i see it as something not good enough having people coming to the forum to scam others, this is not about having a negative review on those found in this as well, it's about the consequences their victims faces each time they were being scammed by others, this platform is one of the most rated community with a high standard of reputation and scam in any form kicked against by the community, however, people should know that they are taking their own risk if they make any transactions with anyone because the forum will not be responsible.

[Ulven]

It appears that the casino is fraudulent. They asked me to wait for 72 hours before I could withdraw, and after that time had passed, I tried to withdraw, but it was futile. Then, I opened the chat, and they asked, "Do you want it white, green, or red?"




I believe the casino representative needs to be marked in red so that forum visitors can know that this casino is fraudulent.

in the screenshot you shared, they weren't asking you if you want it white, green or red, they were asking whether your withdrawal status is white, green or red. I am not entirely sure what is the significance of the colors they were asking but it probably has something to do with whether your withdrawal is pending, processing/processed or cancelled.

anyway, they need to fix the issues the gamblers are experiencing. the longer they take fixing the issues the further they ruin their reputation.

[Potato Chips]

Maybe, I'm not right about the Phillipine-based license.

So on their footnote, they claim to be partnered with New Wave Infotech Limited.

richy.casino is operating as a licensed partner number 22-0025/8vhyx of New Wave Infotech Limited, with operating address of 2nd Floor, Executive Villa, Telempire Building, Lot 32 & 33, Waterfront Road, Sub Central Business District, Subic B, Olangapo City, Phillippines. New Wave Infotech Limited is operating as a licensed offshore gaming operator licensed by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) number 22-0025.

I cross-checked this with PAGCOR and found it on their list of offshore gaming licensees, see: https://www.pagcor.ph/regulatory/pdf/offshore/List-of-Approved-Philippine-Offshore-Gaming-Operators.pdf

You can try to contact PAGCOR and get more information. It's not so hard to claim this and that on the internet. But even if everything is true, I don't really expect an offshore license to hold much weight.

I've already done it. Although my DT is very weak, so it might appear intermittently, but the tag will appear in Default Trust at least until the next DT1 changes. On top of this the representative has not logged in for the last three days when there are scam allegations pending and we have not heard from anyone who has been able to withdraw. I've seen that you have also red tagged him but it appears as untrusted feedback as you are not in DT. I recommend that you make a custom trust list or you will never be in DT

It looks like an exit scam.

[Learn Bitcoin]

If you look at their ANN thread, it's full of complaints, and I do not see any activity from their representative to fix those issues. The casino seems so shady. I have tried to explore their platform and saw they have contests, and the leaderboard is full of bots. The prize pool is huge, so gamblers may try to win their contest. Unfortunately, they won't be able to win anything.

Even though I suggest not to try new casinos, someone has to try to figure out if it's a scam or legit. So, always make a tiny deposit to check those new platforms.

--

You got the answer already from another member. They did not ask if you want it. They asked what is the color of your withdrawal status.
Friendly advise: Please resize your images when you post them.

[Plaguedeath]

I don't want to defend the casino, but it sounds stupid the casino launched after 10 days and then commit exit scam.

I mean how big they've earn? I don't believe if there's someone suddenly make deposit that worth for $5,000 for a new casino.

Of course this doesn't looks good, too bad for the casino is giving a bad impression before they starting their journey in this forum, it will be hard for them build trust with the users.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I don't want to defend the casino, but it sounds stupid the casino launched after 10 days and then commit exit scam.

What sounds stupid is that practically nothing has worked since day one. Well yes, the deposits. But it's not just that withdrawals haven't worked for many days because of alleged technical problems, look at this:

I have checked this platform and tried to sign up using their promo code. During the signup process, I used the BTT200FS promo code, which says promo code not found or something like that. But my sign-up was successful. So, I tried to use the 2nd promo code, but I cannot find where I should enter the promo code. The support button does not work, so I could not contact support. I tried to explore the platform further, and I don't know why, the tournament looks extremely fake, and some wagered to claim the top prize. Either it's their casino's insider or a bot setup that will wager automatically to beat real players.

It has been handled from the beginning in a totally unprofessional way, and probably run only by a couple of people as has been said in the thread.

I mean how big they've earn? I don't believe if there's someone suddenly make deposit that worth for $5,000 for a new casino.

Of course this doesn't looks good, too bad for the casino is giving a bad impression before they starting their journey in this forum, it will be hard for them build trust with the users.

My bet is that things have turned out worse than they planned and that is why they have disappeared from the forum. If they have to come back they will do so with a new brand, as is also said to be the case with Betnomi.

It looks like an exit scam.

It really is bro and one of the fastest they are doing good until they pull the plug I hope no one got scammed with a big amount we have an early warning posted by other co-members but how about those who are not aware of the warning posted here, this is one example of where we should not easily trust new casino with a big amount.

And for casinos to test their platform for any bugs before launching their casino here, even if they have good intentions here if the platform is full of bugs they can easily lose their reputation, those who lose should make a report on Pagcor so they can penalize the platform.

Kudos to the OP for tracing the bugs.

[stompix]

Probably more a we're not able to do it scam than a preplanned exit scam.
Not going to name the deja-vu I'm having right now!

Even if this were only a somewhat legit casino the whole thing would not make sense, I doubt the deposits they got in this tiny frame they were online are enough to cover for all the work and planning put into it, it's still a casino not a Ponzi one page website, they did put a few thousand in this even if they have a copy or a clone script, it still worked so there is somebody who knew what he was doing and those people cost money!

Just one thing:

Also, casino told that they DON'T HAVE CURACAO LICENSE, so they have not rights to ask for KYC, unless to scam more users.

The gambling license and the KYC are completely unrelated, if we go by the laws then you would have to verify your uses for KYC and AML regulations even if their license is not valid or they don't have one at all, as long as you're a financial institution you're technically forced to do so, just like taxes for example!

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Probably more a we're not able to do it scam than a preplanned exit scam.

I think the same.

Not going to name the deja-vu I'm having right now!

I think we are thinking about the same thing and I mentioned it before.

Even if this were only a somewhat legit casino the whole thing would not make sense, I doubt the deposits they got in this tiny fame they were online are enough to cover for all the work and planning put into it <...>

They are still online and accepting deposits, you can check it yourself:

What is not clear to me is how long they have been online. Their AML/KYC policies are from January 2022 and the Richy Casino account from August of the same year, with no post until the OP on 4 September this year, which doesn't explain anything about whether it's a casino they just launched or they've been around for a while and want to promote it on bitcointalk.

So the deja-vu deepens 

But it does change a bit my initial thought, maybe they haven't pulled a scam now, they have been doing this for months and we just knew about this since none of the forum members played on until now on their casino.

Oh and just a bit of useless trivia, while diggin' around I've found out there have been a richy fish, a richy fox, a richy leo and a richy farmer casino, all four of them ending in scams.

I guess most scams that happen on the internet are preplanned. I don't remember If I have seen a platform run for a long time, and they do exit scam. Oh wait, I saw Betnomi in recent times and chips.gg. But these things are very rare. If a platform has already built a reputation and has run for a couple of years, its management has to think twice before doing such things.

Most of the new platforms do not have management and are run by a single person, and they plan to scam as soon as they reach their target. Bad luck for Richy that they were not able to gain much from Bitcointalk
