You Should Keep Proof of Casino Deposits

[Sticky Bomb]

Evidence is important, not only in casino deposits but in almost everything you're doing, sometimes when I have discussions with people verbally, I still disguise as having forgotten the details on chats just to get them to repeat or affirm to the details and I'll take a screenshot of it and preserve for evidence sake, it's good to have a record of the deposit history page as another line of evidence since it's still possible you might lose access to the wallet you used in depositing if you misplaced your keys at the time of seeking redress or filing complaint against them, good idea OP.

Well, today everything has been digitized and there are copies of every transactions that we do. So it would serve no purpose to keep additional records of them since you can always go back to your account or your wallets to pull up such information whenever you’re in need of them.

The only ones would be why the casino would be able to delete which is the users account and I believe that there is no one who always take screenshots of all their games or their account when gambling, it feels like too much work and people don’t like working too much.

So just keep transactions history and going for a reputable casino should be on everyone’s top list rather than think of how to keep things like screenshots of their accounts.

Good idea

Good thing with the blockchain is you can prove everything easy with just a transaction history

I never made a screenshot of my deposits but this is a good call to keep track of all in case of any problem

This basically sums up the post- the blockchain already takes care of this role given that all of the transactions are posted and transparent. However, I think it’s also best if you can include the actual screenshot of your deposits on the gambling website itself for stronger proof should the casino really dishonor any of your entitled winnings.

As a general rule, you can basically prove the existence of a contract based on oral evidence, save for exceptional cases. While the practice of putting almost everything written or digital is encouraged, still, verbal contracts can still be enforced.

This is the reason on why our laws provide safeguards in order to prevent any kind of fraud should the other party claim otherwise. In online gambling platforms, however, we should always make it a habit to screenshot any kind of deposits given that there are some casinos that still practice shady tactics as a whole.

[Agbamoni]

I agree.

Casinos that are not reliable often come up with a new way not to pay users. While most reliable casinos will ask for proof before they can pay you. So, the idea is to have everything ready in case it gets to that point where the casino refuses to release your big win.

[jeremypwr]

I only play at casinos that I trust; so I trust their records for my deposits.
Never would I play at a casino or make a deposit if I felt there was any need to keep track of my own deposit records.

[CryptSafe]

You are right, OP. It is good to have evidence at hand, such as chats with support, deposit, and bet slips, because all these will help one to be on the safe side whenever issues that require such come up. There have been lots of complaints here on this platform in the past with the complainants not having enough evidence to backup their claims and in some cases they are innocent but for the fact that they do not have enough evidence, they end up losing the cases they have raised against the casino and there is also nothing the platform could do for them to salvage the situation. So it is good to always take records for evidence if you sense any fishy behaviour from a casino you play with.

[red4slash]

I personally always look for sites with a good enough reputation and very rarely do multiple sites directly (at most only 1 or 2 sites) and always have a special gambling wallet that is used specifically for deposits and withdrawals. So with this I do not need to do some direct recording because I only need to look for the history of expenses and income in the special wallet.

Keeping records can be considered as a form of caution and that's good but for now I don't feel this is necessary for me because there are other options that I do and that's as I described in the previous paragraph. So I don't feel the need to record or do bookkeeping directly on this matter.
But if most gamblers are more aware of such record keeping I don't think it's a bad thing because it will have some good effects that can be felt.

This is true but people have the right to request for personal data of their account on the gambling site. I am talking about personal data like transaction history and other necessary things. If the gambling site do not provide it within a month, you can go against the site in a lawsuit for ban and not giving you the necessary information to appeal for the ban on a third party site.

Even without asking the casino to generate and send all your personal data, including deposit history and bet history, you can also get it yourself in your dashboard if you still have access to the casino, but in a casino where the casino has locked you out of the account and you don't have a means to access it, don't you think even asking them for the data can make them wipe it off, and if you don't have other backups, even lawsuits against them might not be strong without enough evidence to back you up?

For deposits both on bank transaction history and wallet transaction history, you can see the money sent to the casino. I can not give myself a headache because I know that I can get the transaction from the transaction history. I will say people should not rely on the screenshot but it is good if they snap it. The reason I said they should not rely on it is what if the screenshots got deleted on the person device.

You can always get those records from your bank or wherever, but data searching is way easier when you are doing it using actual data, which is the help those screenshots or whatever external backup you have can render to you, unless you use only one deposit to fund your casino account.

It is absolutely a good idea, I think it's necessary for us to always understand that anything can happen at any time so having a good evidence will definitely help you to overcome everything. I know that we all have a good trust in our casinos but even as that it's essential to always be at alert, so that Incase if anything happens along the line you can easily provide your evidence without running up and down. Let's continue to put it in consideration when gambling or anything else because it will not make sense at all for you to find yourself in high jump.

If it becomes a real legal battle, gambling sites will not want to use their reputation to joke at all, that is the reason the gambling site will want to be transparent as possible.

If customers request for his gambling information, the gambling site have to give the person. It is not about him being banned or not banned, it is the person's right.

It will be good for the gambling site not to manipulate because it can not help them if they are regulated.

[Pi-network314159]

It is actually a nice idea, but It would be better for those using non reputable casino to do just that, because those casino without reputation may decide to shutdown anyday or block your account for no good reason. But if you use a trusted and reputable casino, it will be hard to expirience such thing. But nevertheless it is just important anyway, I actually have experienced such thing before, but not exactly as this your explanation. I sign-up in an online casino and later forgot the information I used because of absence mindedness and later when the casino logged out, I never knew what els to do. And I have some amount in it. So even if I wanted some prove to give the customer service, I will have not bring any useful information that will help me, for that reason I became more careful but keeping record is very essential.

This is where only gambling in a reputable casino comes in. If the casino is reputable and cares about their reputation, they won't even lock a user out of their account like that without a solid reason to the point where you have to manually ask for your data, and if the casino also doesn't care about their reputation, the legal battle might not gain much ground because you might be filing a court case against people who really don't exist. We have seen cases of casinos presenting themselves to be under a regulatory body, but deep down they really are unlicensed and operate as they wish.

[coinrifft]

I think its a good idea to create a folder or document to store this data. You never know when you might need it. For example, a casino may wrongly accuse you of something and lock your account without warning, not able to remember or provide any evidence.

What do you mean? Isn't it that every casino has some sort of history? Of the logs on your deposit and withdrawal and everything should be in the blockchain? If you played on casinos that don't have any logs, then I will stay away from it.

Maybe you can do manual screenshots or perhaps if you play then you might want to use a recorder so that everything can be save and seen and you can used this as proof if anything goes awry on your side with regards to that casinos.

[Ruttoshi]

There's no need for all these if you're using a reputable casino to gamble. Imagine the stress of keeping screenshots of your deposit and creating a file for it. Does gambling worth all this. I haven't had any issues on deposit so I don't think keeping screenshot is important to me.

However, casinos have log of deposit which you can easily get whatever, you want about your past and recent deposits. Maybe, OP is talking about when you deposit and your deposit didn't arrive in your account, I think that's from the payment processor.

[Samlucky O]

I thought all details are already in the casino history, why would you want to keep this information again with you on a separate place? But well I catch a point when you said that if the casino block your access, you will need those info as an evidence,
 Apart from this, to me there is no need. But this point is well noted because some casino can be silly when it comes to win the might start looking for proof and when you are locked out, you may find it difficult to bring some information needed to unblock you.

[HelliumZ]

It seems unreasonable to me to keep a screenshot of the deposit record in a casino because their records are basically recorded in the transaction hash, so you can extract the deposit record from there at any time. Yes, but if you keep a screenshot, if you ever get into trouble related to the casino's transaction, you can quickly provide a screenshot as proof of that transaction. However, the casinos that will get you into trouble for targeting users to cheat, no matter how much you give a screenshot, they will not be able to solve your problem.

Thats right. Use a non custodial wallet for depositing and that record will be forever be there. Just in case of dispute or concern or when the casino denied you of something theres a receipt for proof on any case that will make.

Its also nice to have a screenshot if ever the platform is a deposit based non bkockhain cause they can delete it and says you didnt do any and that will be used against you. But in the long run it will get us lazy to do this especially if were active so better to use a web3 connecting non custodial casino site for this matter.

[Ishicryptic]

I've never kept a proof of casino deposits before like making a screenshot and I've never had any issues, I guess because I'm not a high roller, just a small time gambler who uses small amounts to deposit. But I don't dispute the need to keep records especially for high rollers who use a big amounts to place bets so they will have evidence at hand Incase the casino tries to outsmart them. We should give priority to reputation when it comes to casinos, the trusted casinos have a name to protect and they wouldn't want to jeopardize it for anything. If you're trying out a new casino you can use very small amounts to test them and you can also keep prrof of deposits too just Incase.

[Muba20]

If the gambler stores his deposit history along with the tax ID well, then it is possible to save himself from any unwanted trouble in the future. Usually, mistakes can happen for any reason. If something like this suddenly happens in a good casino, the gambler will have nothing to do. No one will believe the allegations against the big casino platforms without proof. Such unwanted incidents happen suddenly. That is why one has to take care of his own financial security. Maybe keeping such data may seem annoying to many, but if any one face such an incident someday, then he will regret it. If possible, even if it is a little difficult, one should save it.

There are no better tips, but maybe just a handful of players actually do these things... taking screenshots of deposit & gameplay is an excitement killer. So maybe some high rollers do these things just in case, and that's a smart thing, because we all saw different complaints, and players can't prove anything when the casino blocks their accounts.

At the end of the day, these tips can be good for us small players when we test some new casinos, but most of us will rely on luck, as we usually do.
