Navigating the World of Online Gambling

Protect Your Privacy, Be extremely cautious with your personal information. Never disclose sensitive data to anyone claiming to be from the casino, as this could be a ploy to steal your funds or identity. Legitimate casinos won't ask for this information upfront.

This is going to be hard when you're asked to do KYC and your're wrong about legit casinos not asking for this information upfront. They usually don't ask for KYC right away because they have so many clients that they wouldn't be able to process so many applications in such a short time, so they sift through them by eliminating people who never won anything and did not try to withdraw.
Your data is at risk every time you do KYC, that's the truth, even if the casino is legit and registered. Many of these sites have database leaks and your documents end up being sold on deep web so that someone somewhere can make a fake ID and get a loan.

 Sometime ago, I came across a post where someone raised an issue on how do we know that the casino isn't set to beat us at their own games, unfortunately, you can't tell. but these casinos are governed by different bodies to protect customers right in win win and loss. we still can't tell if this is true though. some thing you can check before getting to bet in some casino.

I am not sure what you mean by this. Casinos are literally set to beat us, that's called house edge, without it casinos wouldn't make any profit. This has existed since casinos have existed and they are very open about it. House edge is small but they are in it for a long run so huge wins are counted into it.

Rest of your advices are pretty good for anyone really, no matter if you are starting or old player.

It's not easy to choose a good casino, it's not easy for someone to stop playing while they've made a profit, in most cases people stop playing while they've had a lot of losses and a lot of bad memories, in other words, they stop playing because they no longer have the mental and financial condition. to continue playing. I have seen a lot of tips that people give about casinos, but those people who give these tips on how to choose a good casino or even how to be successful in a casino never show their performance or their success. This has been one of the big questions I've asked people who give tips or advice.

for example, someone creates a thread to warn people about the risk that people take when they come into contact with gambling and they always talk about gambling addiction, but they don't say if they have had any real experience of seeing someone who Have you ever become addicted and how did this person end it, get cured or get worse? All people do is simply give tips without them having practical and concrete experience of what they are giving tips on. when people give tips on how to have good results in games of chance

The people who give such tips on how to be successful in gambling never manage to post any proof that they are successful in gambling, they don't even talk about their experience in gambling, they don't talk about the profits and losses they have already they had and mainly do not talk about how long they have been playing games of chance. I'm not saying that people shouldn't give advice, but that they should do it from their own experience, it makes it easier for other people to listen when there is evidence.

You're right most of the casinos can beat us due to the house edge that they have in the games that they have developed. The casinos have pretty small percent of house edge in those games and that's one of the reasons for them to earn profits. There are some games where house edge is low and some games where house edge is high. In some games house edge is above 10% while in other games house edge is below 2% but still the house edge is present in most games. We can not deny the fact that casinos have advantage of winning because of the house edge and if they completely remove the house edge thing then most of them will be out of business.

Since it's not just a single gambler that do beg on a casino at a time, we might not notice that casinos are really earning from us even with the multiple bonus system and other things too to make us stick to a particular casino.

 If we really understand that techniques on how casinos earn from us, we will be very surprised that no matter how good a gambler can be, they will still make loses even though they are still making profits so far but there are also gambkers that are making loses on regular which makes it easy for the casino to earn a lots from us without us knowing what up and how the system benefits them a lot.

Well of course, I think almost everyone is a beggar in the casino. Maybe they're not unaware, I'm sure most of them are aware that casinos make money from losing gamblers there, but I don't think they really think about it, I think they just really rely on luck with very high hopes.

Well that's right guys, most would be shocked if they knew the true facts about the money flow in casinos that will always only benefit the casino, not the gamblers. Of course, I've also heard from some people that even professionals never escape the name of loss, they are also the same as ordinary gamblers who sometimes profit and sometimes lose, and certainly defeat will always dominate, I think those professionals are just a little superior in terms of experience compared to us and they already know the various conditions that exist in gambling, and I say it has absolutely no effect on increasing victory but maybe it can be used to reduce defeat. So with this alone maybe we should also have realized that indeed casinos are created only for profits in favor of the casino itself not for gamblers, I say gamblers are just people who bet themselves and their money to win there, but the casino system is designed only to make them profitable, not for gamblers, and gamblers may only be given a small portion of their profits,
nothing but that just to tempt them to keep coming back.

Well, I thought I might be up to reading something new, however, I do agree with all the points you've mentioned. A lot of people make the mistake of joining gambling platforms without doing any research about whether they have any reputation or trust within the community or not and later when they get in trouble, they start creating threads and accusations against the platform when they actually should have done that before joining the platform itself.

Casinos usually create promotional events that attract new gamblers to their platforms because they give out high bonuses gamblers start getting greedy when they see those promotions and they don't wait to confirm whether the platforms are trusted or not and they go and make deposits straightaway.

Here I learned that things when it Comes to casinos should have a thread here in the forum, there may be many casinos that are on the internet, but they are not Trustworthy , maybe 20 casinos 3 are trustworthy, but I I don't risk that because it's a risk that later where can I complain? If there are so many casinos that are a scam, it is as if they were a mirage, you enter only to be deceived, they charge a deposit and then never get anything out , it seems to me that that is the hardest and most difficult thing for someone who wants to do something with bitcointalk. org, this being the case, things must go in the known Correct direction, so as not to get Unpleasant surprises.

I couldn't understand the sense in anyone's refusal to tender Thier personal informations - as a proper ordeal and proceed by the casino ... Why would they also agree to fill in the informations when they're registered already? Would they not be harmed just the way they were tryna evade from the start if that was the case?.... Lol... What in heaven's name would make you think that a casino that requires your personal information for your own safety (KYC) should be tryna robb you off your cash??... There are things you really need to reverify before passing out informations like this.... ion own any casino though.

Hmm that's interesting I never actually quite looked at it from this angle because I could not imagine having  my data being leaked then someone using it for evil activity like collection of loan without my approval. Can this be possibly true? Well I don't know how often casino do get this particular breach you are emphasing on  but I do feel most of the casino that well recognize can actually secure your personal data as they claim they can.

Thanks for your tips as it's really gonna be helpful for the new gamblers out there. Because the number one problem that I am seeing with the new gamblers is the choice of the casino where they are ending up having some problems.

Checking the reputation of the casino where they'll gamble should be made before they gamble. It is because the opposite is being done by them, they only ask the community and check the reputation after they've been problematic with those.

The common pattern of new gambler is check for the casino that offers cool bonus > make a deposit > do research regarding the casino once they encounter already the problem.

They only do thorough research about casino reputation once they already have problem. In an event that they choose trusted casino and still encounter problem then they will just read the ToS later to find out the reason why they experience problem.

Newbie mistake is not doing research first or reading terms first before they deposit and play on the casino. Only few newbie will find this thread before they play since they are all excited to play then later on worry about the problem that they will encounter.

Yes failure to read the TOS is the reason behind most problems encounter by may gamblers because when you don't read the terms of operations and what you can do and can't do on the casino,  it then means that you will likely run into problems along the line and if you are not smart enough you may end up losing your winning and even deposits,  because in a situation where you registered under a wrong ip address is a kyc compliance casino and along the line you are asked to verify the account,  you may end up being unable to verify the account since your IP will make you documents useless.

Same apply to other problems as reported and that is why there is need for proper reading and analyzing of the casino operational guideline before your create an account on that casino.

As for protection of personal information, you can not tell because a casino can start by telling you they are kyc free just to get traffic and members to deposit but as time goes on, they change their policy telling all members to undergo kyc which was not part of the initial. You will have no option than doing it because you have funds already there with them as that is the trick they use to get at members. One thing you should note is that once kyc is demanded, your privacy is no more guaranteed because anything can happen and they tell you they suffered hack which you can do nothing about.

The OP is referring to protecting personal information against hacker that impersonates casino representatives. This scam is popular via email notifications whenever hacker has an idea that you are playing on a specific casino while the victim post personal information such as email in public.

I received this kind of scam attempt because I accidentally use my personal email on one of the bounty campaigns here in the forum. Luckily the scammer that trying to hack use a casino that I don’t have an account which is why I easily detected it as scam.

You can easily detect such mails to be a scam or coming from a scammer when you see them in your inbox. How do you know they are scam; you did not register anything that links you to them, you have neither visited nor used their website before, you do not use that email for things of that nature, they convince you to click the link they sent to you by promising you juicy offer and enticing giveaway or bonuses that are not feasible.

These are the reasons why it is advisable to always use a separate email for all your online engagements so as not to mix things up for yourself. This would ease one the stress of trying to pick from where an email is sent from so one could be able to be careful in other not to fall victim of scams.

If you are really that bothered whenever you have recieved some emails on sites or services on which you didnt even register then better not to put yourself in stress and anxiety with those things which those are just simply scams which are trying out to phish you out or whatever scammy attempt that they would really be making.It is really just that there are people who are really that naive enough on trying out to believe and click those random links without even trying to think on how risky the thing that they had done. We know that phishing, malwares and viruses could really be that downloaded into your device which it might not really be that causing for some access on your accounts in gambling platform but also it would really be compromising your personal wallets as well.

This is why if you've been bothered with this, then you would really be finding yourself to have the solution on which it would really be that ideal that you do make a new email address when you do
tend to play on a site. Exploited emails or the ones you do input might really be leaked out somewhere and its not new. This is why you would really be getting random emails and stuffs
but its better not to mind and ignore most of the time.

Random mails  mostly come from phishing sites and as we all know, these mails are mostly sent by hackers to steal peoples information upon any attempt to click the link sent to ones mailbox. If one must play on casinos or otherwise, it is good one uses different mails for the exercise so as not to complicate things for themselves because they might forget themselves and click link thinking it is from one of the sites they had registered since it is obvious that they use one email for several sites and activities. Some times, there is data breach from most of these third party organisations  which puts data and information of clients at risk because of possible hack. In that case they get emails from that data base and start sending phishing links to the emails for  possible hack attempt.

I have had this experience whereby a particular email i used fora particular website  started receiving all sorts of spams and phishing links and it became obviously clear to me  that there have been a breach of data on that website and hackers must have done that or clients data have been old out. I sometimes blame the websites for keeping silent and not informing their clients to be aware of the data leakage or breach on their end. They just keep quiet over it and do as if they know not what has happened. If not that some people are wise to create separate mails for different activities, one can not be able to detect where the breach could have taken place.

The best solution is just to ignore unknown emails coming from unknown senders or better still you delete those mails as you have nothing to do with them and block the senders from further repeating such act.

Of all the points you delivered, I do have problem with this one, it's good to protect your privacy if that's what you want, and the best way to do this is to avoid every online casinos that ask for KYC verification, it's your duty to find online casinos that needs no KYC for gambling and moving your funds off the their platform.

Apart from this, every other casinos need to make their customers pass KYC verification, do you even know why KYC is very important to many online casinos? I think you should do research on this, because it's not bad or a crime if casinos ask for your KYC approval.

A legitimate online casino have all the right to ask for your information before or after you sign up on their platform, because this is one of the ways to avoid turning their platform into a criminal haven where illegal funds can be moved around, money laundering is not far from online casinos as well, that's why after you registered your casinos, the regulators will pass some rules and regulation to keep your business running legally, one of these laws includes forcing your customers to drop their identity aka KYC verification.

[lienfaye]

Check the Casino's Reputation, Before you jump into any online casino, take some time to research its reputation. Find out if others have used this casino and whether they've been able to successfully withdraw their winnings. A trusted casino should have a track record of fair payouts.

This is important. Before playing to the specific casino, we need to conduct a research in order to know if it's not shady. Nowadays many online casinos are already existing, but it's not hard to check what casino is trusted. A simple research will do and of course the experience of gamblers on this forum can give you an idea on where they're usually play since that particular site is trustworthy.

Resist Addiction,Winning can be exhilarating, but it can also be addictive. If you find yourself unable to stop gambling after a few wins, it's time to take a step back. Remember that gambling should never become a primary source of income.

Play in moderation so we can prevent ourselves becoming addicted. If you know know that you can't control yourself when you're already playing then just quit. Because it can only lead to more problems if you have no discipline.

yes, ignoring it would be better, but for example if you use Gmail they usually filter out dangerous links but sometimes fraudsters can escape detection, therefore always confirm with casino service support whether the email is official or not, after all there is no harm to ask before clicking on those phishing links that ultimately harm yourself.

Sometimes people are lazy to ask before doing something when it is clear that there are many cases of phishing emails from several casinos, why should they feel confident to click on that link, when to ask it doesn't take long to go to their service support or their ANN thread on this forum if They are still actively interacting, don't make something easy difficult because you feel like you're too lazy to read and don't ask questions

[cafter]

I agree with you Op.
mostly new people becomes victim of these scam casinos, they end up making account on casinos by seeing their huge bonuses, cashbacks, free spins, etc. after that they know they can withdraw these bonuses after fulfilling the wagering requirements of the bonuses.
It will be better for users to read all terms carefully before making an account and depositing.
withdraw your profits time to time, so you cannot stuck in a situation that your account got banned with all of your winnings (if the user wins).

[Nrcewker]

Good tips. I agree with what you’ve said. Maybe with an emphasis on checking a casino’s reputation. When it comes to crypto entities on the internet, trust and reputation is everything. The best incentives in the world won’t mean anything if the casino offering them turns out to be operated by a scammer. Always think safety first.

Always go for casinos which have been operating from many years. Now read the reviews about them and then only choose that casino to gamble. Now there are many casinos launching on a daily basis with attractive offers to attract gamblers, these casinos attract and you join the site, now when you wants to withdraw, they will play the dirty game and block your withdrawal by quoting some terms and conditions. So yes it’s completely on your hand, how to utilise the internet to find the best and trusted casino for crypto gambling.
