You Should Keep Proof of Casino Deposits

[Taricoins]

But I kinda get you, keeping screenshot is important too because a casino or platform can deny that a deposit address belongs to them, this world is shady enough.

The thing is, there's no reputable casino that would even want to do such except it's a scam casino and when a casino already have the intention to scam players, when they execute their plans, they will disappear. Why I don't like to care about taking such screen shot is because the information is already there on blockchain and I can get it when ever I want. At times even if you have the screen shot and a scam casino wants to deny it, they can still do so and lie that it's a fake picture.

This particular question is what wanted to ask because if the transaction is already on the block chain then why the need to keep screenshot? I would understand if am to keep screenshot of maybe possibly chat that maybe me and the casino support chatted in respect of trying to sort out the issue so if they want to say anything otherwise I can bring out such documents as evidence 🧾.

This is a nice topic. I want to point out some things. First of all, have you or anyone that you know  has ever been in a situation whereby the screenshots of their deposit and transactional history saved them?

Secondly, what if on that fateful day the company decides to scam you the transaction history doesn't show, what will one do in that situation?

Thirdly, this is an advice. To avoid painful situations, it's best one goes for casinos that have a very good license. That way, you avoid anything that will hurt you.

Casino proof gives you the right of ownership which will save you when the needs arises like  when you win your game or having issues within the casino or otherwise, serves as a gate pass in the casino and for online casino it serves as an evidence that you own that account.

It also helps to keep record of your financial expenses and checking to know the interval between each win you make and much losses you have incurred so far since you start gambling.

[Orpichukwu]

What you say is true, but I'm sure you also have a habit of not saving things you deem unimportant even though you do it frequently.

This is similar to the habit of taking screenshots which many people do frequently and save, even though they're often forgotten.

If you make it a habit, there will still be times when you will forget to take proper record, and if you remember in those times, you can still go back to your history and do justice to it. It's only when you don't see it as a necessity that you will ignore it each time you forget, even when you remember it. Since I don't find it necessary, it will be hard for me to keep up.

Screenshot of the TXid is not useful as what you said as it is recorded on the chain, especially if we do make deposits with our own wallet so we can even prove that we really own the sending address. Screenshot of our history page in the casino's account can be helpful in this case but I have never done it before. If 3rd party mediator like askgambler or casinoguru ask such a thing, I think it is not fair especially if the account is already banned/blocked which means that the player wont be able to login to give take a screenshot as what asked by mediator.

If we do things frequently, then it becomes a habit, however we are only a human and we may still forget some things sometimes no matter how important they are.

But for him mate, there must be no unimportant things according to what he said there about each thing must be necessary.

Taking a screenshot as a hobby seems oddly funny. Maybe if you say a habit of taking pictures, then that one is so common and normal. I know, we still take screenshots but we only do it when necessary like capturing an important info such as a receipt when sending money, especially if someone requires it too. Maybe that is where you say that we can sometimes forget taking a screenshot but the truth is it was intentional because it was not yet the perfect time for doing it.

It probably depends on each person’s habits as well. For others who consistently keep their deposit receipts, that’s not a bad thing it might be necessary and they have their own reasons but that’s not how I do it. As I mentioned earlier, I only keep deposit receipts when there’s an issue with the deposit process which is usually when the casino requests them.

Yeah because saving it and leaving it were the transaction was done is the same thing because is possible a gambler could mixed all the different transactions they have done together and they wouldn't no which one is meant for the casino proof if they have the same amount that was use to deposited so actually the resolution is still going back to were it all started because all the transaction will be there and the gambler could still use the casino deposit address he use to compare on all the deposit receipts to locate the actual transaction receipt, so actually retrieving deposit proof is easy if you still have access to were it was sent from.

[Pandu Geddon]

so actually retrieving deposit proof is easy if you still have access to were it was sent from.

That's true, if we still have access to the casino account, we can take the deposit proof. Or if needed, the proof of bets won. But maybe we don't consider that important when we feel our account is fine. 
I don't know the condition of accounts that are locked or restricted by the casino due to certain violations. But if the account cannot access betting proof or deposit proof in the casino, can the deposit proof from our wallet also be used? 
I just realized that the habits we try to build, but are not needed for a certain period, in the end, we might ignore them.

[blomen]

thanks to op for this idea. even though blockchain technology keeps a verifiable record of everything, i don’t think everyone would want to keep an archive of all their transactions. in my opinion, the best way to avoid all this hassle is to play at a reliable and reputable casino. at such casinos, you don’t need to keep records of your deposits or bets.

plus, some casinos might pull an exit scam and run off without giving you anything, even if you have proof.

Even though proof is not always necessary, if for some reason a casino creates a problem with a transaction, then having proof can easily keep the gambler in the right position and the problem can be resolved properly. If the gambler is careful and takes the appropriate steps before a major mistake is made, I think it is a positive step for the gambler. I have not faced any such problem in my gambling life but there is no guarantee that something like this will not happen in the future, so if the gambler preserves the proof for the sake of his financial security, I think it will play a helpful role in getting the result in his favor.

There are still time and rare cases where the reliable and reputable casino can mistakenly accuse a user of cheating and immediately lock the user out of their account, and to prove that you are not a cheater, you might need to some screenshot from the locked account to post as prove, and if the account is already locked, how then do you get the shot that you need and believe will change every thing?

This is why it's still very important to always take some vital screenshots and keep it saved up on your mobile device, it' is often said that one can never be too careful and this simply the truth, no one knows when problem will come calling and being prepared to handle such problems is every thing.
So I still think the op is very right with this advice, and in as much as I believe what he advised is something many of us are not doing, it will be of great help to us if we can learn it.

Dear community, we used to threads discussing games, betting strategies, and even the psychology of gambling. Today, I want to bring and highlight something different yet important where every gambler should take seriously.

I ask you to always keep proof of your deposits when using any online casino. This shouldn’t be only for high rollers but also to those who deposit small amounts, because you never know when you get lucky and win an amount where the casino refuses to pay you out.

Let’s make it a habit to save a screenshot or copy the Tx Id of every deposit, and also your account history page. Ive seen many cases where players couldn’t file a proper complaint on platforms such as AskGamblers or even be taken seriously in the forum, simply because they lacked evidence especially after their account was closed.

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.

If anyone has better tips or more methods for keeping records feel free to share them…

What would screenshots of deposit transactions help? Those can be faked, unlike the actual transaction history from your wallets. That's immutable and not disappearing to anywhere ever, so it's irrefutable proof of that deposit. Imho keeping an access to your wallet is way more sensible then keeping a single tx in a file somewhere. From a wallet you can see every transaction you ever made. That's the proof.

But when has the deposit been a problem that you couldn't handle with the helpdesk? Deposit isn't a proof of your jackpot. Or would you be happy you got your deposit back instead of that jackpot?

[Bluedrem]

Keeping your deposit slip on casino sites can help you a lot. I am sharing a personal incident that happened to me a few years ago , I wanted to deposit some money to gamble on a site and I sent a deposit request of $100 there. But after a few hours when the money was not credited to my account, I made a request to their support for help and they asked for my deposit slip, I was lucky that I kept the deposit slip so I was able to provide it to them and later I got the deposit back in my account within a few minutes.

[Sandra_hakeem]

My betting account has not been locked before, I do not know how it is, but I think such people should still be able to see their account balance on the gambling site?

No... Whenever there is a suspicion by a casino on your account, it's automatically locked. In some cases, in a way that you can't even get screenshots for evidence incase it gets treated by a third party. Only they can release these information at their discretion.

Also the person can show conversation between him and the gambling site representative.

in less complex situations, yes.

I can still easily remembered the transaction that I funded my account on Staked.com few weeks ago which I can check the transaction history on my wallet to see it. But some people may be using many wallets, it will be good to label the transaction an put the name of the gambling site that you sent it to.

So OP has a point for making this post.

[Satofan44]

Is it really neccessary to take screenshot of the deposits? The deposit can be seen via transaction history of the gambling site, trasaction history from the withdrawal site and also from blockchain. So, there is no need to take screensot as they would not refuse the deposit hence they may ask for the source of the  fund, nothing else.

If you don't know the exact transaction that was in question for whatever reason, or you have lost, change or done something to your wallet since then what are you going to do? A shady casino or one that selectively scams sometimes can block you access to your account, and then you will not have any kind of proof except your own words. You will go on to report the casino in several places, nobody will believe you since you have no proof -- and they shouldn't. Furthermore, while it is easy to edit information in the browser or otherwise modify a picture it provides more proof that it is related to the casino. As I said, you may have an unique deposit address and unless the funds get consolidated into the main and known wallets of the casino they can easily scam you by sending it to another unique deposit address which will swap it for them to something else.

At that point you would have:
1) No proof that any deposit has been made.
2) No proof that the casino is involved at all.
3) No proof that all of it isn't made up.

Therefore, just stop looking for frivolous reasons not to do something and excuses for laziness. Instead spend 2 minutes of your life documenting everything and things will be fine -- in most cases.

Never thought of it this way, but again this might lean more towards casino players who might only have this as initial proof, but the again if its slots one is playing a game replay is another that can be used as proof of having played and won the game  almost something similar sports punters need to be doing by keeping screenshots of betslips , bet ids and all the good stuff. Otherwise,  sometimes let's count ourselves lucky that bookies and casinos we play from don't flip against its players.

I could not understand what is the benefit of keeping these types of records while we would be able to get all the evidence on the gambling site on transaction history and/or bet history or something like that. If we can findout in a single click then why we would have to keep all the records by wasting our times.

Unfortunately there times when the casino or sportsbook chooses to lock us out of the account completely as they have that kind of control...and when trying to build a case against such bad actors you might have nothing 

Btw, If you check some of the cases on the reputation board, some users have failed to show this kind of proof like deposits, games played etc because they are locked completely and only support have this kind of privileged access to this information..

[Betwrong]

This is a nice topic. I want to point out some things. First of all, have you or anyone that you know  has ever been in a situation whereby the screenshots of their deposit and transactional history saved them?

Yes, many times. I heard the stories, read about it in this forum and I myself used screenshots of my deposits(and not once), when talking to the support. Also, you can forget something and screenshots help you to remember. If there's no deposit in your transaction history on the site and you don't have a screenshot either, maybe it's not them(casino owners) trying to cheat and hide it, but you never made a deposit.

[348Judah]

We should always have our backup in case of any request to prove ourselves, this is where some people gamble and also keep record of every activities they do, we are also expected to have some of this proof of deposit in our disposal in case of anytime there may be need for them, the casino can demand for such at any given time.

When I make a deposit in a new casino site and make a bet, especially in the case of parlays betting, I try to keep records of everything, because in the case of new sites, I have seen some cases where the casino site owner refuses to payout when a gambler wins big, so of course, it is very important to keep screenshots of everything as evidence. Still, the sites where I currently do casino gambling have been trusted for many years, and I have not found any issues where I do not trust them. There are things to do, but I keep a track record of making large deposits. Otherwise, I don't think it is important for small amounts. Moreover, keeping screenshots of all deposits seems very annoying to me.

If one is dealing with a reputable casino, all of these screenshots or evidences wouldn't even  be neccessary, no casino will say they do not have the records of transactions from their customers. Any casino who claims not to be in possession of such records is lying and trying to steal from the customer or delay payments unnecessarily. Keeping records is not bad, it can help you when you meet these bad casinos. However, every gambler must try to use only reputable platforms so they can be at peace with themselves when they use the platforms.

There is no need for screenshots or track records for a trusted casino platform. Still, if someone wants to keep it, I won't say it is unnecessary, because reputable sites can be scammed at any time. I don't want to trust anything unquestioningly, so for deposit or withdrawal amounts, I try to keep proof most of the time. This is my personal satisfaction; I am not telling everyone to keep track records like this. But it can be very helpful in the future, if any issues arise, even with reputable casino companies. But I agree with you, everyone should gamble at reputable casinos with prompt withdrawals and deposits.
