[bitbollo]

What happened:: Fake Casino WINABET CC claim to provide an huge bonus without requirements. This website has no license, no details working on his site and there are dozen of proofs they will just take your deposit or try to "verify" your account requesting a payment.
They also have a "bad" promotion of 100 USD if you refer an user... so they will scam you even after you scam another user

To be honest these are enough to call them scammers. Because I read their announcement as well, where they were offering unrealistic bonuses and referral commissions. It seems they want to run a Ponzi scheme behind the casino schemes. Because it's ridiculous to ask for a deposit for the verification; a rather legit casino will ask for verification before the deposit.

I will keep monitoring their announcement thread to see their activities. Not tagging right now, but I will take a deeper look at them. I will advise you to stay away from this platform; probably you will lose your money there.

Not tagging? What you will expect to see a scam? Its a 101% scam without any doubt at all
Fake logo screenshots, missed terms, missed privacy, missed license... and even the statement that they need 20 USD because otherwise "hey we are sending out 100 USD"

And you just wanted to get $100 for free and withdraw successfully without moving any volume? So naive.

Any site that ask a deposit for "verify" identity on blockchain is a scam.
No more nor less. A real service would just ask to sign a message if they need to prove something online or ownsership of address.

Thank you for keeping us informed about this scam. One more red flag that I noticed is that they claim to be active from 2017. But the domain is registered a few months ago. This are a screenshots from their webpage and registrar info (information do not match):

Nice catch @bitbollo

The representative or owner of the scam casino has furiously been trying to defend it in their announcement thread but little does he know that his rude gestures are only making more and more people believe that the casino is a high risk platform.

That account looks like the type that should have a Newbie/guest flag, so I am creating one against it.

It is clear that the Winabet platform is part of many clone network schemes.

I have done some research and found a large number of domains that share the same template and everything except for the brand name and logo.

In addition to what @ovcijisir mentioned regarding the age of these domains which have not even reached one year, while they claim to have existed since 2017, this is a major red flag indicating they are misleading users.

There are also fake statistics across all platforms such as 51M+ Total Registered Players and $32.5B+ Total Paid to Players, They also use a fake live counter that increases the number of players every time you refresh the page. Also, even the pages of these domains do not actually exist; only the main homepage is accessible, and nothing else works.

I will support the flag, and I hope everyone remains cautious when dealing with new platforms, and verifies before trusting them. Stay safe.

This shows they have a motive and that motive is scam, they want people to believe they have been in operation for a very long time, and this is one of the strategies scammers use when they want to make people believe them,  all Ponzi schemes use this same strategy to make people believe they have been in operation for years and they won’t run but they always end up running.
Thanks ovcijisir for seeing this and sharing it, this is an additional reason why a negative feedback should be given to them so people will be careful using the casino.

In the past if I'm not mistaken there were several who had been caught with scam casinos with the same tamplate as this casino, only different domains and logos, I forgot the thread first because several new users massively spread this kind of casino, the offer was the same when you wanted to withdraw you were told to ask for a deposit.

Your findings reveals the scale of this scam. I also found two scam websites just by doing simple Google search. That casino representative definately deserves to be tagged as scammer.

More scam casinos with samd template:

Code:

https://olympfly.cc

https://spinrift.io/

[bitbollo]

There is just a "method" online that someone is selling monetizing this way to scam people. There is a full template and so on.
Buying cheap domain doesn't seems a real obstacles.
Interesting, winabet.cc was FULL of reports of scam websites even if just 2 months old!
I would say maybe there is a new scenario online... several bots/websites/services that can detect these scam in a very quick time...

Pay attention =

Not really, I just mean I have to take a deeper look, and I have done it. However, supported the flag and tagged as well. Whoever is asking for funds or a deposit to verify the account is a scammer at first sight. Their offers are really unrealistic to me; that turned them into a scam. For me, I won't trust them with a penny.

Yes, it's very easy for the scammers just using the same template and keeping changing names and logos. It's like crypto scam projects launching again and again with the same template. These tactics are often followed by Ponzi scammers as well. So we must stay away from these kinds of gambling or investment schemes.

Some set of people who are always eager to make money from casino will never see all this red flag because they have seen all this unrealistic offers and when they get scammed they run to scam Accusation board to complain about their lost, I always tell people before you use any casino go through it very well, make some research.
Believe me if people are always doing proper reach about casino and take every red flag they noticed seriously, report of getting scammed by a casino will reduce, the red flags are always there if only you can make your research properly.

Update:

Code:

Winabet.cc is DOWN for everyone.

Domain Status: clientHold

It’s clear that after being exposed and after successfully scamming a number of people, they have now shut down the domain. Just like the Winabet domain, there are many fake and fraudulent platforms out there, so it’s not surprising to see this happen more than once on the forum using different accounts and new brand names.

Everyone should stay cautious and do their own research especially when it comes to domains that haven’t even been active in the industry for a full year.

As you figured out, they were just using a template to scam people. There are dozens of casinos that look exactly the same, and the scam tactics are too. Not only this, I came across a Reddit thread a few weeks ago, which you can see here - https://www.reddit.com/r/onlinegambling/comments/1m7z6mh/dont_play_at_any_online_casino_that_looks_like/

There are more templates that look like Stake, BC game, or even other reputed casino design styles. However, they are scams in reality. I would suggest not playing in any casinos that looks like a clone copy of other reputed casinos. Just stay away from them.

they did not take the domain down voluntarily, the clientHold domain status is for when the registrar suspends a domain. it's most likely someone reported the domain to nicenic (the registrar for the domain) for abuse, and they took it down.

it's good that someone did that (thank you), but at the same time, it's like a cat and mouse game.
the scammers will just register more domains, scam more people, sites gets taken down, but more sites will keep popping up as long as the scam makes them money.

people need to wise up, if a site/someone asks for money for "verification" so you can withdraw money, it's a scam.

Wow, that was swift. I am impressed by how quick nicenic are at pulling down fraudulent domains. Had it been Namecheap, we would most likely be waiting forever, and it's kind of discouraging having to put an effort to report scam domains only for nothing to be done.

This thread could actually be a nice reference for reporting such domains

Great catch! From the looks of it, they've been in the forum before, based on the link rat03gopoh shared.

I will be supporting the flag logfiles created.

No wonder their user interface was so familiar, they are part of a scam casino farm that uses the same user interface with different domains that have posted here in the forum before.

Not only that, as you can see above, Albon has posted a link to five more domains with the same interface, and they are all scammers. I fail to understand how they manage the players. How do they do the marketing, actually? There are many legit new casinos struggling with their marketing and not attracting players. However, these suckers get players on their platform to scam, even though most scam sites run for only a few months.

I bet that if they were a legit business, they would have enough customers to play on their casino and they would made some good money without scamming people. However, these scammers choose to scam people instead of doing business.

There are many ways for fake casinos to appear live and display logs of numerous bets per second. I think they're more skilled at this than real casinos.

Running a real casino is more complicated than one might think, not just marketing, but also technical aspects (responsiveness, reliability of gaming machines), liquidity, and so on. Scammers often operate solo, which clearly doesn't meet the criteria for a full-fledged casino company even if they planned to.
