Always check the deposit address

[DabsPoorVersion]

The lesson here is always check the wallet address before you deposit no matter how long do you use the same address. Most importantly don’t use casino wallet address to receive funds that has a delay such as loan money and campaign payments since there’s a chance that they will update their wallet address without prior notice. Keep safe and have fun.

Or it's better to make it a habit to copy the address directly from the account that you are using. That's what I am always doing to avoid any unexpected errors or such as what happened to you. There are updates that we will never know when to come and there's no guarantee that the funds we deposited will be returned. Luckily you have recovered the money that was sent to your account.

Yeah these are very important lessons not just for you but for each and every one of us. You are quite lucky that the casino you use has some integrity and efficient customer support. About the wallet address change, aren't supposed to get a notification from the casino about this update?
I know this is non of my business but did you take out the lon to gamble? Or is it a buying the dip strategy? You don't need to answer though if you don't want to.

But still its a happy ending in his case since the casino consider to help him to solve that issue so its good for people to avoid committing the same mistake as what OP did since for sure we will be stressed out experiencing the same situation.

Much really better if people check their addresses since what OP experience is avoidable mistake and we can eliminate those possibilities to happen if we are aware that certain situation like that happens so there's something to learn from his experience.

I admit that sometimes I'm not checking my casino wallet address but for reading this case for sure I will always check to see if there's changes happen.

A wrong move on your part was to take the casino deposit wallet as loan accepting address. We always tell others to use a personal wallet for this and not be in a hurry to start playing. Old deposit addresses are usually retained but you cannot count on the casino to be able to always track them. This is the mistake that could have prevented the entire scenario.

Anyway, since the problem has been resolved, I hope you dont take any more loans to gamble and if you do take them to your own wallet first and then send the money to the casino.

To avoid high transaction fees on the Bitcoin network, I started using an exchange address and it got to a time when they updated the address and I lost some Bitcoin, thankfully it wasn't much but I was unable to recover the Bitcoin, I feel at ease because the amount isn't much but I got scared after thinking about what if I sent a lot of Bitcoin into the wallet?

I reached out to exchange customer services and they don't even care, they ask how much and that's it, I replied but they never got back to me, when I told a friend who's close to me, he said the amount is too small for them to even waste their time on, that if it's much they would help.

My mind was on, what if they don't help? Since that day I have learned to always go back and check the address if it's still the same old address before sending any Bitcoin to the address, be careful trusting crypto wallets from exchanges or any online casinos, those addresses are not permanent.

This is not new warning but I think people might need to be reminded about this after experiencing this personally just now. I recently made a loan using a casino wallet address, I check the wallet address if it’s the same before I ask the loan and I confirmed that it was the same.

While not a new warning, I think it's important to warn on a scale that always make sure the deposit address is correct before making a deposit.
A casino's deposit address usually changes. If you don't check when you want to make a deposit, it could be a mistake that doesn't come from the casino because the casino may have also informed you via email.

You can of course recover your funds but it might take time as they need to check the system if that wallet address really belong to you. Your account his history of deposits, and once they found that the address was deposited once, that means it already belonged to you and any further deposits coming in should be credited to you.

Thanks for the warning anyway, I don't know but I think I have tried it before, but most of the time when I take a loan, I'm using my exchange wallet address but make sure to verify it before I post it in the lending thread.

That's a really problematic situation OP, it's good that they managed to fund you with all the hassle surrounding that account. It's a good deal that you check the deposit wallet address every time you are transacting. I hope everyone does the same measure with their accounts.

I have quite some paranoia with transacting with accounts so I always double-check before doing anything.

It's not just for gambling really, any transaction you do you should always double or triple-check the addresses that you send to. Most transactions especially if they're not centralized wouldn't be returned after all so submitting a ticket would be pretty damn useless. In OPs case it seems like everything worked out well since the casino controls their own local network of wallets but if it wasn't, then I'd say you wouldn't have been able to recover the funds.

Kinda weird though since afaik, they should update you whenever such things change, if they ever do (which afaik shouldn't).

Now after losing some good amount I have my lesson even I am late but still its good now usually before any transaction I double-check because I have few big loses like I lost nearly 1 Ethereum which I send on ETC address in Poloniex exchange, and they never give me back with I again send nearly 0.2 bitcoin on blockchain site which was also been never recover, and now I am having no hopes as well for my these amounts, but things like these give me good lesson with I am regularly checking and doing carefully all my stuff.
But surely now thread like these are doing good work for the newbies as they needed to be more careful because mostly exchanges never give back your this hard-earned money back to you.

I once lost around $500 because I gave my deposit address wrong. Since then I double check the deposit address. And I think the address is not properly checked while making the deposit And it's very unwise to be in a hurry when making a deposit. I lost $500 that day because I did this stupid thing myself. What I originally did was replace one blog chain with another blog chain address.

Thanks for the reminder. Changing of wallet address by casino and exchanges without any notification is not good. I am happy that you were able to get your funds back, because they know that the money is in your old wallet asdress. I don't think anyone that is not being paid directly to his casino wallet address, should use their casino wallet address to receive payment, only if you intend using all the money to gamble.

I had similar issues last month with my exchange waaler address. It was change unknown to me, and I transferred funds from my noncustodial wallet to the exchange. I didn't see my funds there, when the transaction has been confirmed for over 6 hrs. This was when I took my time to go through the exchange, and I discovered that they money was in my old address which I had to do it manually for it to reflect, which took close to 10 minutes.

Always check, and re-check the address before sending funds into it or use it to receive funds.

If you're not using a wallet that you can control, be sure to always double check the deposit address I always make it a point to do that because some platform are not notifying their users about the changes or updates of the wallet, its a big hassle and issue if you happened to sent to address that they've already placed.
You should do this at all times even at the wallet that you can control because there is such a thing as clip malware.
Checking the deposit address will only takes a minute or two you have to check the first 4 digit and the 4 last digit.

[dothebeats]

This happened to me as well, not on a gambling platform but rather on Binance. I never received any communications about changing addresses or any of that stuff, but I still had my account change its receiving/deposit address and send some funds to it. Luckily, Binance was able to transfer those funds to my new address and everything went smoothly.

I understand that upgrades in these platforms do happen. What I don't understand is why they are not releasing communications about the change to their members. A simple email outlining the changes is already a huge help but no, they will just randomly put links for you to click and hopefully read what's change and what's staying.

[leonair]

Yes while depositing you must double check the deposit wallet otherwise you may lose money. also when you copy the wallet check it well that the wallet is copied correctly or not. one time I made such a mistake was when depositing a token to an exchange I mistakenly sent the tokens to the token's contract address. and I lost them. Since then I have been very careful about these things and I always check the addresses carefully before depositing anything. Because in the case of cryptocurrency, once a transaction is successful, it can never be reversed

This is true, not only for casino accounts but also for exchange accounts. I try to stick to best practices when it comes to crypto and just copy addresses freshly every time I want to make transactions. Some services will ask for the address to be whitelisted, don't. Only very platforms will bother to help you recover your money and the time wasted going back and forth.

Also, don't forget to cross check the last 4-6 first, last and some middle numbers to confirm it's a match before confirming a transaction. On rare occasions, this practice might come in handy.

[Apocollapse]

After read @OP's story, this is not about always check the address, but don't use address from centralized sites when you/someone can't send the coins ASAP. @OP didn't make mistake since he posted his address, it will different case if @OP copied a wrong address and send it to the lender.

To be safer, it's better to use your own non custodial wallet to receive the coins.

[bitbollo]

using reliable services for this type of deposit is the minimum... personally, I am considering this is one as one of my biggest "fears" when making a deposit on an online service (casino, exchange etc...)
solution? take screenshots where you can clearly see the deposit address, the date and time. Always check after "pasting" whether the address matches....

[ethereumhunter]

Checking the wallet address is a must thing before we sends the money to the casino or other. We may seen this experiences many time and not just one because the casino will adjust their system maybe that's because to improve the security. We must make sure that everything is under control so we don't gets any problem when we playing gambling.

It's a reminder to us to always makes sure the wallet address before we deposit so we don't send to the wrong address. Thanks for the reminder @OP.

The problem comes when the loan is already sent while my casino wallet address update right after the loan amount sent. Take note that I’m using same wallet address since I play to this casino for about 3 years and they just update my wallet address some time after I post my loan request here.

I say, it's one in a thousand chances that it could happen, idk if i will say it's really a bad luck since you already resolve it.

More like, always check the wallet address on the deposit page of the platform either it's an exchange, or casino every time you want to make a deposit or receive from someone. And yes, if it's not for casino deposits then don't use the deposit address likewise if it's not for an exchange funds.
