[rbynxx]

There are a lot of casino scam happening this days, one way to avoid getting scammed is by knowing the strategies this scammers are using on people, when you know their strategy you can easily avoid getting scammed.
This thread is created so we can all post some Casino scam you believe people should be aware of.
I will post some.

1. Recovery Scams: After someone loses huge amount of money to a fake casino, another scammer claims they can recover the funds for a fee. They simply take more money and disappear.
2. Clone Casino Websites: some casino websites you see around are clone casino websites and they are done by scammers just to scam gamblers, this scammers copy the design of well-known casinos to steal deposits and personal information.
3. Withdrawal Verification Scam: In all this fake casinos after you win huge amount of money, they will asks you to pay a verification fee, tax, or unlock fee before releasing your winnings. Don’t pay any more money because they are fake casinos if you pay they will ask you to pay again just like that till they exhaust all your money and disappear.

This are more general type of scams and probably most we do encounter in our lifetimes when we're in the internet and not just in online casinos. Some casino specific scams are purely internal like freezing an account, delays on communication or withdrawals (even deposit), claiming you're doing a suspicious activity on their site without a clear context then just halt activity on your account. There are a lot more on this but mostly these are the casino-specific scams happening these days.

Do you have any specific experience over this scams OP? I think that's more worth noting and some casinos are hideous these days too especially if they want to scam their users in the first place. They'll represent as legitimate until users trust them and all of sudden they'll run. To be honest, it's not easy to detect but I'd rather play with brands that already proven their worth in this industry rather than chasing new or an unknown one.

1. Recovery Scams: After someone loses huge amount of money to a fake casino, another scammer claims they can recover the funds for a fee. They simply take more money and disappear.

If you're using crypto, there should be zero reason for you to believe they can recover it since crypto transactions are irreversible. We all should know that.   

2. Clone Casino Websites: some casino websites you see around are clone casino websites and they are done by scammers just to scam gamblers, this scammers copy the design of well-known casinos to steal deposits and personal information.

So, this is like a phishing website? I think this is the most effective way to scam people. Especially those who are less tech-savvy. But I believe the majority of the legit websites always have reminders about phishing scams. Some people may still fall for it, but definitely not much for the people in the crypto space, since we're all more conscious of cybersecurity.

3. Withdrawal Verification Scam: In all this fake casinos after you win huge amount of money, they will asks you to pay a verification fee, tax, or unlock fee before releasing your winnings. Don’t pay any more money because they are fake casinos if you pay they will ask you to pay again just like that till they exhaust all your money and disappear.

This is classic, lol! Happens not only on fake gambling websites, but also with fake airdrops, online micro jobs, and anything that involves deposits and withdrawals. 

I think these 3 are the most common ways to scam people, not only in relation to gambling, but everywhere else in the internet, and I guess everyone around here is already aware of it. Though it's a good habit to remind everyone not to become too complacent.

Along with these scams, I would also like to mention another scam called the account renting scam. Basically, the scammer looks for people with higher betting limits. He will tell you that he has access to fixed matches and can help you win millions. He may even claim that he will provide information about these fixed matches for free, but in return he wants a percentage of your winnings.

It sounds very convincing and promising, right?

This is where the scam actually begins. The scammer will ask you to deposit money and place the bets yourself. Since he claims the matches are fixed, you will feel confident enough to risk your own money. He may also assure you that if by any chance the bet loses, he will give you money for your loss.

However, once you lose the bet, he simply blocks you and disappears. In reality, the scammer has no access to fixed matches. He only wants someone else to place bets based on his own predictions. You take all the financial risk, while the scammer profits if he is right and faces no consequences or loss if he is wrong.

There are some casinos from which every user has to register there carefully and deposit their money. Basically, nowadays many scam casinos are created from which people try to cheat in various ways when people deposit large amounts of money on those sites, they take the website down and leave. Before gambling in a casino and while depositing money, their websites should be analyzed well and how active their social media is should also be noted. Moreover, how active their support is should also be noted. Check each step and then deposit and withdraw, and if they promise to do so, then it is better not to deposit money there. I think that it is better to deposit a small amount of money in every casino first and then withdraw from there and after betting, get an idea of how trustworthy the casino is, if it is good, then there is a confidence to deposit there for a long time, otherwise it is best to get out of there.

The scams you mentioned do happen, but many casinos also scam with bonuses, such as by promising signup or deposit bonuses, but in reality they only entice gamblers to bet more. I have seen casinos that promised to give signup bonuses but didn't.

Casinos that want to survive on the online casino platform in the long run don't cheat gamblers, but those that are short-term and have a cheating mentality end up taking gamblers' money and disappearing.

Don't believes someone who claims they can recover the funds especially if many people can't do that because that is just an attraction for people to recover the funds.

You must research before you register and send the money so you can avoids scamming casino and that is the right things to do before you select the casino.

Withdrawal verification scam is the thing commonly happens in scam casinos. They can asking us to pay money to releasing your winnings but they will not really send the money. If you don't want to get scams from them, you can stay away from gambling sites and not involves in gambling.

I believe most of the people will be falling for this scamming method most, and it is mostly well known as the phishing scams which even the banks websites are also being cloned by scammers for tricking clueless victims to login into these phishing websites which would allows the scammers to steal important login information from the victims.

It would always be better for people to check the casino website URL before they input their login details and password to access their account, as once the scammers got hold of an victims account and transfer their money out of the account, it is usually impossible for the victim to recover back their funds.

Every gambler, that has been gambling for the last few years knows about those scams. They aren't strictly related to the crypto gambling industry. There are phishing pages of crypto exchange platforms and there are recovery scams, that have nothing to do with crypto casinos. Most people are aware of these scams, but some phishing pages are just so good, that the person can't distinguish them from the legit website. Also, there's a small possibility for every gambler to be scammed by a legit and licensed crypto casino. The dumbest scams are the ones, where the fake casino requires you to pay a fee in order to withdrawal your fake "crypto profits". This is beyond stupid, but some teenagers in Discord are still falling for such scams.

The most dangerous scam is a casino cloning scam. I think every newbie should be aware of the site they are creating an account with and whether it is the official site of that company. Once a deposit is done in a clone site, it cannot be recovered. Other forms of scam exist, but this is the one I fear the most. Users have lost thousands of dollars due to this scam.

The app/site cloning and the phishing scams happens to be one of the biggest schemes that scammers use to easily gain access and steal people’s data and funds effortlessly, because this one isn’t just for the newbies to be careful but also experienced users are targeted and can easily be victimized too without even realizing it. And worst part of this scam is that it never gets old at all, because scammers have actually figured out ways to spice it up, so to make it look more realistic and almost impossible to detect.

One of the commonest one that I noticed some new accounts on this forum want to use to scam some people, but which they are failing is the fix matches.

It is also very good to be very careful of the ones that will say they are having betting limit issue. It is either it is a scam or they want to use your gambling site account for something that will later put you in trouble.

Fix matches is not a scam coming from the casinos or sport bookie's directly as you rightly mentioned that members using to scam themselves, so the sport booking site may be innocent in some of the cases like this sure bet scams.
What we can actually call attempting scam is in situations that I have experience with some betting platforms although none of the crypto betting platforms like stake or rainbet, 1win have been noticed to practice that, is where their are sharing bet codes and sport analysis predictions in their telegram group, I see that as attempting to lure gambler's into taking bet which ordinarily they may not have taken and there is never a guarantee of winning as far as sport games and bet is concerned.

I compared the times when conda often registered on small unverified casino sites and the times when conda began to register only in large casinos like rollbit or stake. And I can say that in the first case, in addition to spam emails, I received strange emails that clearly intended to get my casino account through an incorrect link. This is strange because the scammers quickly found out my email, as if the small online casinos themselves had given them my information. Or the scam centers and small untested online casinos had the same owner. In general, it was suspicious. But when I first became a resident of large casinos, this situation did not happen again.

I've never been scammed via any online casinos before, if you don't want your stories to end up as scam stories you must always avoid unverified online casinos, when a new casino shows up always let them be for a while before checking them out, also of you want to try them out always use small money on them, for example you can deposit $10 max on them unlike depositing $100 on Rainbet because you trust Rainbet, you can't say the same thing with a new online casino. This forum is all about revealing which online casino can be trusted more than others aside from cryptocurrency information and discussions.

Clone sites are a very big problem not only for casinos but for wallets and almost everything that has to do with depositing funds online and that is why people must be very careful inorder not to fall victim, their is need to properly verify that you're clicking a genuine site before going ahead. As far as clicking the authentic casino sites are concerned this forum is a safe place to visit, there is no question of worrying whether you're dealing with a cloned casino site or not, inorder not to make a mistake you should ask somebody that is using an authentic site to forward to you or research to know an authentic url. Don't trust play store, 100% because we've heard instances where people download fake apps from them, you have to make personal diligent efforts inorder not to be scammed online.

In fact, scams these days have become more sophisticated.

Your list is correct. Also, I have seen cases where scammers are using AI based fake support, Telegram/Discord admin impersonation and even Google Ads or sponsored links on social media to lure people to fake casino. These ads are more common when you log into a free Android app.

And I will never play at a casino that suddenly ask for unlock fee, tax, AML clearance, VIP upgrade or additional deposit during withdrawal. These are annoying. If you send money once, they will target you and make new excuses to ask for more money.

The problem here is that the front ask for these things until after you've won something and that why the temptation is too big for some people to overcome, the winning isn't real but desperation can make a person think that they are so they end up being willing to risk that small amount of money to release the bigger one, and that's how easily they can get scammed, if anyone plays with this casinos they should just cut their losses from their initial deposit to avoid further losing money to them.
