Beware of fake casino app infections on social media.

[Patikno]

As always, you choose the platforms that have already a track record to boast of. I guess it's not really the endorsers that matter most. Who knows, like you said, the personalities used aren't even aware that their pics or videos are being used? So, especially because choosing a casino or a gambling app involves depositing money or receiving winnings, it's always best to choose from among the most trusted ones. Why risk playing on one that hasn't proven anything yet?

Well, this is an important point that everyone should be aware of, especially for gamblers. Rather than trying to use an unknown gambling platform, it is better to choose a platform that is already quite trusted and well-known, especially if the casino used looks like there is a possibility of abusing a figure to attract or lure new users, then I think it should be avoided. As a reference, in this forum we can see various trusted and well-known casinos, and it is better used for entertainment media, rather than trying something that does not have a reputation.

Honestly, if I deliberately search the application store about money-making applications such as gambling, there are indeed a lot of them, even I myself have installed quite a lot of applications that say it is easy to make money, I think there I am still innocent because why should I believe there is something like that, because of course there is no application like that that easily gives money or profit or victory to its players.

I no longer believe in applications like that, except with applications recommended by the gambling site itself, even then we still have to deposit funds as capital, it's just that it is no longer done there in the form of a website but an application.

One of the ways hackers get some devices infected is through something like this. They can use high reward or bonus to lure the person so that the person can download the application.

I always prefer to research on reputed gambling sites instead which has been existing since a long time and have excellent reputation. Although, this changed a little when I came to this forum as some new gambling sites pass my test.

I hardly visit social media which makes me just avoid all scam on the social media but the scam are easy to know. I totally prefer to avoid ads everywhere and not just on social media.

I've seen more and more recent casino-type apps using an edited image or video of Mr. Beast, with the language dubbed for the country where the app is intended. This is apparently a clear sign that AI is being used to impersonate some influencers or famous public figures to attract people to these apps.

Gambling are now famous even with apps. Mr beast must be thrilled if ever he saw his identitt this being used as an ads for this. Actually he can file a case for that matter with these people who uses his face without consent. One thing to know if the ads were fake is if the user delivering the ads doesnt seems familiar with the ads. So likely this is a scam.

I can't actually recall when I have ever downloaded any app for gambling apart from gambling directly to the gambling site, yes, I feels more comfortable with those gambling site that are being advertised here. I can sign up and start using them without having that fear that would scam me and even if they would do that it can be reachable because they are active running their promotion here on bitcointalk, so I wouldn't be that scared to use them. Although I mostly stick to those reputable gambling site and not just newly launched site to gamble as no knows their intentions over here and to what they had in mind of people over here.

The moment they used a fake advertisement with a popular personality, they became untrustworthy right from the start. That’s automatically sketchy. People who resort to tactics like this shouldn’t be trusted at all. Those who easily fall for this trick are usually people who aren’t tech-savvy, don’t use social media much, or aren’t aware of what AI can do these days. But if one knows how to spot what’s real and what’s fake, then why take the risk, especially when there are plenty of other well known and trusted options out there?

Correct since they are obviously showing red flags for doing that.

For sure that there's something wrong that might happen especially that they are using those famous personalities without their consent so people should avoid it and better locate those reliable casino which they can trust the most.

Also its better for them to report the app so google play can take down those fake apps. Better check this if they don't know on how to report the app https://www.howtogeek.com/440154/how-to-report-suspicious-android-apps/

This is a way up call for people who gamble in a casino because their favorite persons is gambling there without making proper research about that casino. There are more fake casinos than real and trusted ones. Any image can be faked and videos can be manipulated using the VEO 3. A solution to this is to increase the cost of buying a premium account for VEO3, because it seems that the AI tools are easily accessible by anyone since the subscription fee is low.

It's stupidity to go out on playstore or other app store to find gambling apps, this will surely happen to anyone that tries, even if my favourite casino like Rainbet has an app I will like to download through Rainbet website not going on playstore to do the digging myself, what if a fake Rainbet app is waiting for me on there? It's completely stupid of anyone to do.

What happened to reputation? I've never use any online casinos off this forum before because I know there are many fake ones out there, the oy platform I found on my own was freebitco which is a BTC faucet + gambling, as a faucet lover at the time I stumbled on the website on my own.

I figured that online casinos want to keep their reputation on here to bring in new customers, this is everything that a gambler need when in search of a online casino that they can trust, this forum have never lead me astray.

Almost all of the gambling sites do not having apps because they do not see it necessary as their users like the mobile and desktop browser to gamble directly which would be the reason almost all of us here will most likely not like to download any gambling site app. But the scam gambling site wants to infect someone with malware and one of the best way is to entice the people to download their app.

Thats right. People tend to forgot to check first on official website if they have some apps release but if none then likely what they gonna engage is a fake app that just using the name of the casino site for scamming people. This one protocol often forgotten to do. Doing a research first before clicking any apps on playstore.

With the rampant evolving nature of Ai these days, we can barely tell which is real from reality. a life of videos on line are now made using Ai and sometimes they look even more real than a normal recorded video. It's really becoming a pain in the ass, because sooner or later, scammers would eventually price way using these ai agents as a tool to steal from others. They are many such videos online created using Ai that has some celebrities on them, they interact, talk and move just like the relationship persons. We just have to be very careful because we don't want to lose money all in the name of gambling on some new platforms..

[acroman08]

Any experiences you have to share?

There is another casino app right now on Google Play Store called "Plinko Mr Beast casino app" using edited images of Mr Beast, the app in question is created by "skd production"(the one on the original post is made by "beast group casino"). I am pretty sure it's most likely a scam, just like the one in the image you shared.

[Questat]

We could fall for fake apps if we do not carefully examine the apps that we download. Many scammers hide behind known personalities because they know that most greedy people easily get fooled by this.

The best way to avoid this (old scam strategy) is not to use app stores. Instead, go directly to the site. It was not just happening to gambling apps; it was also happening to crypto wallets and trading apps. It is really necessary to be more careful this time because scammers are always unpredictable. And they will take advantage of every opportunity they see.

Any experiences you have to share?

I don’t think I have seen ads on casinos or gambling site where AI was used to generate video to impersonate celebrities or influencers; but I have seen lots and lots of ads on loan apps that use AI for their ads and the videos that are usually used for their ads tend to have a lip sync from what it’s being said in the audio.

It’s actually scary to see how much ai videos have advanced, currently there are some videos out there that were created using AI and you won’t be able to differentiate them from humans videos and if the advancement continues, a time will come when people will start getting scammed from videos generated by AI.

This particular casino being promoted clearly isn't aiming for long-term operations or building a solid reputation. They're just out to scam people’s deposits, you can tell from the fake ads they’re using.

That’s why awareness is really important, especially since they’re using a familiar personality to attract the public. But if you look closely, it’s AI-generated,  and it’s actually easy to spot if you're a bit skeptical when trying out a new casino.

[Pandu Geddon]

But I urge you to be cautious when trying to join certain apps without first doing a search to validate what they're really about.

Is it possible that they embed a different link to access the application? Or is it an application that is indeed registered on the Play Store?
I have not noticed such a scammer's method, but maybe it has been going on for a long time. What I often encounter is social media accounts of people with quite a large number of followers being hacked to promote scam casino sites.

There is no offers that would make me even go download any app on my device as I don't like or want unnecessary things to get my storage occupied just like that. Of course you are correct but as someone who has been here we should be able to know when these site are intending to scam us or infect someone over here, and also the reason I stick to a web version of gambling site, even with the local gambling site most of them has been advising gamblers to download their mobile app to have a better experience of their gambling site but I pay no heed to it because I know when I have access to web there is no need having to bug my device with apps moreover, I don't like seeing much apps on my phone.

There are just that those people who do easily get blinded just because they've been that idolizing someone on which it turned out that it do made out their sense to be that numb or simply being naive. If you do just that make use of your own common sense then you would be able to differentiate whether its a legit one or not. You can always have that time to check out things specially if it turned out to be that suspicious or too good to be true for someone do make out some recommendations or what. Installing anything randomly even with some apps into my pc or with my phone isnt something that i would be comfortable with not unless if it do came from viable or legit sources or platforms then i wont be having those doubts but if it turned out to be it do came from randomly then i wont be that carelessly trying out to download on which we know that once your device been crawled out by some malware then you do know on whats being compromised.

That's right, it is exactly what they're trying to do. They want easy money, and they don't care about building a reputation because they don't even have that in the first place.

And to the users who can easily be hooked by advertisers who uses influencers. You need to step up with your standards. Just because someone who's famous is advertising it, you'll trust them quickly.

It's not like that but always verify. Just as what we used to say, verify everything first before trusting.

These AIs have become the primary tools of scammers because people struggle to differentiate between what is fake and what is real. You need to learn how to determine if an image or video is AI-generated.
This is the time when you should not be a responsible gambler, but a good at looking at what is fake and true, it will only take you a few minutes to do checking, and it's better to ask the gambling community if you do not know how to check what is real or fake.
