Casino scam you believe people should be aware of.

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.

I know of a scam which is similar to this but a bit different, because you said that a fake casino allows players to gamble and then asks for a fee for withdrawal that they need to deposit before they can actually withdraw their money, but in my case, the platform didn't ask you to gamble or anything, they advertise the platform saying that you get a $600 bonus on registration, or a higher amount to lure more users, and it is directly withdrawable with no wagering requirement or anything, but when you register and try to withdraw after collecting the bonus, they ask you to first make a $100 deposit and then the withdrawal will be enabled.

I saw this on a livestream on Kick. There were two guys doing a gambling live stream, and they were promoting a casino there through the chat and also the description and everything. Even though I knew there is a catch, I wanted to see what it is, so I registered through the link, verified my email, and claimed the bonus. When I tried to deposit the bonus that they said doesn't require anything and can be withdrawn directly, it started asking me to make a deposit so that I can withdraw the funds, and that's how they scam newbies, because someone with zero knowledge would have thought it's real, because the website looked completely real, animations, games, and everything, a newbie would've easily fallen for the trap.

Scaling through early scale test upon registration does not really guarantee quick withdrawal from casino at the moment,  every casino seems to be very careful with withdrawal these days that they tell you they are acting in line with the laws of where they operate from but the real truth is that they are just looking for loopholes to take from you or keep back their money you have won. If kit why do they not demand for KYC when you deposit huge amount of money?,  but one when you want to withdraw the put up excuses just to hold you down at all cost.

Some casinos simply have a business model where they only want to make money, even in less-than-ideal ways, like accepting all players' deposits and then asking questions about withdrawals. They understand that when a player makes a deposit, they can easily lose that money, especially if they play for a long time. And when a player requests a withdrawal, the casino begins to think that the money might never be returned. Even after a long conversation with support, for example, over many days, the player may eventually lose patience and simply start playing again, either because they're bored or don't want to discuss the matter.

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.

You know that saying, 'Never take your problem to the public; there are chances of you being taken advantage of.' It's not just in personal problems, but it’s also applied when you get scammed. If you take your complaint to the internet immediately, you will get offers from people who claim to be experts in that field but will ask you to pay a fee first for that but will never accept to charge from the money they are supposed to be recovering. old popular type of scam not just on casinos.

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.

I have witnessed this clone casino's website in about two casinos here in the forum. One was BC.Game, to which a link to the clone site was sent to me on Telegram, and the BC.Game I know has a total complete login interface compared to what was sent to me, and I was asked to log in and claim a bonus, which was a cheap trick to get users' login access. Even when my account with them was empty, I was still careful enough to detect it was a fake.

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 scam has been shared here before. I’m trying to search for it where I saw it but can’t get a link to it again. The OP shared how he was offered some bonus, and after winning, before he can withdraw, he’s then being asked to pay a certain amount before he can be verified, and this pattern of scam makes sure the player has enough money tempting him where he needs to decide if he should pay or let it go, which many might be fooled by those numbers.

Maybe most of the challenges we face on the gambling casino that made some to easily concluded on a scam attempt are actually negligence and fault that should be traced down to the gambler and not the casino, this is why before you start gambling, you must understand the casino policy so as not to violate anything stated therein, but the moment gamblers were being denied access to withdraw from a casino, the next thing that we interpret to a gambler's mentality is scam and the make such accusation reports, which could be wrong.

[Bryan jessy]

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.

This is one of the best approach to follow in order to avoid failing victim of casio scam, most times the red flag is so obvious but some gamblers are more focused on the winning and what the casino promises to offer and disregard the obvious signs, imagine using a huge amount of money to gamble in a new casio a person know nothing about, no history or reviews, they just saw it online and they decided to try it out, it is not wrong to try out something new but if a person must, he should carry out thorough research or ask about it to ensure that others has used it before without having any issues of scam, the best is to learn from others experiences, with the existing evidence a person can now decide on what they want for their money.

Casinos normally uses that strategy for their casinos, they intentionally most of the times delay payment just to frustrate players in the waiting and to some point when the player gets fed up, they just decide to use the money to play till they lose all back to the casino. This is not new though but it is one of the absurd things some casinos does just to piss of players on their platform. I have had such experience too I could not bear it anymore so I just decided to use the money to play games. Although it was a little amount though but the casino was just being too funny though.

Fraudsters in online casinos are constantly creating new strategy of scams. Those who believe will definitely be harmed. Recently, there has been a huge change in the type of fraud. Fraudsters now not only make false promises, they later capitalize on the weakness of the victim and cheat them again. They make them responsible for the money and make new promises to recover the lost money. That is, earlier a person was cheated once, now after being cheated, they are being cheated again under false pretenses. If someone falls victim to such fraud in a casino, then he should be very careful so that he does not lose more money again. Currently, fraudsters try to cheat users in various ways including recovery scams, clone scams and withdrawal scams. In such situations, the only solution is for users to be aware.

[Bluedrem]

Where there is a chance to win money and a lot of bonus offers, people get confused and put their money at risk. Yes, when there are many online casinos in the market, this mistake is more common, and fraudsters get more opportunities to cheat with the casino site. So if any of us wants to gamble on a new casino site, he must be extra careful. Always keep an eye on how safe it is to deposit his money, as well as what kind of opinions other users have about using it. Above all, through a small investigation, you should be sure at the beginning whether the site is actually run by fraudsters.
Then if it seems that a site is run by fraudsters, it would be best to stay away from it.

When money is involved, expect all sorts of scams... It's like a fishing expedition, scammers are trying to catch as many victims as possible, and they come up with all sorts of tricks to get your money. Some tricks are obvious and easy to spot, but there are sophisticated scams that can fool even experienced people.

So when money is involved, do your research! Check again! And if there are some red flags, simply turn around and walk away.

Stay safe out there!

[Sandra_hakeem]

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.

I'll have no pity for anyone who gets scammed because they paid to get insider knowledge on a fixed match. Infact, they're no better than those who scammed them because all they wanted to do was make profit via any of those loopholes.

Not a casino scam exactly, but one should be aware of the malware which makes you paste an incorrect address that looks like the real one, especially with casinos and exchanges: you may want to fund your balance or withdraw your winnings and literally send them elsewhere with no chance of cancellation or recovery.

I haven't heard of that before. How does it work? Take control of the sender device, manipulate their clipboard and swaps the address to something very different from what was copied? At a glance, one might fail to notice the changes after the paste. That you for sharing this information!

1: This isn't really a casino's own scam, and i remember this "service" existing for anything lost. It can be related to casinos, cexes, stolen money or something else. In all cases it's a scam

2: Phishing is an actual problem in everything money-related.

3: Except a withrawal fee that's taken from the money in account, all other fees are probably a scam. Especially if you are required to deposit more. Every legit casino i have been a member of, have provided kyc for free, because it would be horrible business to make customers pay for it.

I would add that no-kyc is almost definitely a sign of scam. That can be true with smaller wins, but casinos wouldn't take a risk of accidentally giving some terrorist free laundered money and getting sued by it.

[crwth]

Could there be any way that it is connected to loans? Like, a lot of people are trying to get money, but of course that's just how they operate.

If someone is desperate enough, they might get a shark loan and get into more debt. That might be a more problematic thing, and it might not be a scam, but it could get people into deeper problems.

[Mahiyammahi]

Despite these problems, they can be avoided if a little caution is taken. If all the things I mentioned are taken with a little caution, then these incidents will not happen.

For example, if someone comes to you as a support agent on their own, never give them anything. Remember, you have to solve your problem yourself. Someone will definitely not come and solve it by shouting at your remote box.

People who are victims of scams to such an extent do not understand these things. They think that the person concerned will be able to help them, and so they give almost all the information that they should not give.

I think, keep your data only to yourself. Always take care that no one gets sensitive information.

[puloweh555]

Add to it those accounts who are telling their potential victims that they have guaranteed wins. This is mostly happening in sports betting.

They'd say that they have an insider and they're going to bet on a fixed match. That's a lie and another scam that people need to be wary of.

When gamblers are becoming wise, these scammers are also becoming more clever and reinvents their scamming techniques.

If these accounts are from the gambling site itself, it's a scam. However, if an individual guarantees winnings using the excuse of an insider, this doesn't necessarily mean the gambling site is a scam it could be a fraudster exploiting our insecurity. Fraudsters often operate independently, promising insider information which easily deceives beginners in the hope of making big profits.

The bottom line is that online casino fraud is rampant, and we must be vigilant. If a gambling site claims to refund lost money but requires additional funds to claim it, it's a scam. Or, if you win big and are asked for taxes, verification, and admin fees when withdrawing, this is clearly a scam. Signs of a scam casino to be wary of include offering a large bonus but the wagering requirements are impossible to meet. Finally, I'd like to say that if something sounds too good to be true, it's definitely a scam.

Are you saying there is no scammer in some casino? There is, maybe you have not encountered with them before, and pray you should not encounter with those scammers in some casino because it will be difficult for you to know you are in their casino, and it will make you lost what will make you trust other casino that is real, before you will join any casino make sure you verify what you need to know before you will be comfortable and reliable for whatever that will come out as result because one thing will definitely happen at the end either you lost in that casino or you win to celebrate your victory.

The problem of many gamblers is that we're so emotional. We forget to research and don't take caution when we're in that state. I agree that every sort of scam exists in gambling. Even with bonuses although these people doesn't really work directly to the casinos but just as the tricks OP mentioned, it can also be done.

Could there be any way that it is connected to loans? Like, a lot of people are trying to get money, but of course that's just how they operate.

If someone is desperate enough, they might get a shark loan and get into more debt. That might be a more problematic thing, and it might not be a scam, but it could get people into deeper problems.

A very common thing in our society today. It's not a scam, but it can cause the same problem of losing to a scammer. Because the gambler who's already going to the loan sharks is a sign of desperation and addiction.

[Makus]

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.

I didn't know that some casinos actually demand for  an extra deposit to make a withdrawal, that's obviously a scam and it is funny that a lot of people fall for this. But I don't blame them much because just like you said, scams are now becoming more sophisticated and a lot of people tend to fall for these scams.

I think these unlock fees, tax and all you mentioned is common with scam crypto casinos because I have not really heard anyone get scammed through this means using a scam casino that doesn't use cryptocurrency.

[Grace333]

You can never know enough especially when it comes to matters like this where strategies are refined so that these scammers can keep up with getting enough victims. And this basically is the reason I prefer to spend less amount learning about new scam tricks than to try to act arrogant with these kind of knowledge which will cost more if i fall for a scam. And one thing most people fail to realize is that your level of exposure to matters like this will determine how quick you can detect a scam.
Each time I see a non kyc casino start asking for kyc I'm like (hold on a minute) something fishy going on here and these are mostly new casinos that aren't reputable, so why not save yourself the stress and gamble with reputable casinos.
I will also like to make reference to those people who claim they're selling predictions, well it's normal for people to make prediction or even sell them but when you hear someone start giving you promises that are too good to be true like a guaranteed win just know that your in for a scam.

Yes, it is true that scams have become so sophisticated that it is difficult to tell whether a particular newly launched casino is real or not. If scammers can impersonate already existing reputable casinos, newly launched casinos can be an easy den for scammers.

It is already a big red flag if any platform tells you to pay a certain sum to unlock codes, upgrade your account, or gain access to withdraw your winnings. These can be very common with new casinos that you have not used before.

I will advise again: use popular casinos. Use reputable and verified casinos. If there is anything fishy going on, you would know, and everyone else who has used the casino will spot that something is off. Scammers are using every means to scam people.

It marvels me when a fan can beat their chest that a particular thing its true, and there is no amount of advice given to such person that they will abide to it, as they trust that they have inside which they don't know that its a scam, and the addicted ones are most likely to be a victim of this, as some uses this advantage of those who are blind by their addiction to make money and if they balanced their gambling habits by not getting too deep to it, they can be able to figure out when its a scam or not.

Those who are desperate to win some money, they're going to fall for it no doubt. But someone who's just curious and does want to make sure if it's true or not by figuring it out through asking the community will avoid it.

When the season start you going to see this particular set of people on social media looking for people that they will scam. If they really have fixed matches, they going to make use of it alone, and they not going to share it to anyone online. If they have fixed matches, they won’t be online looking for people that they will sell it for just for little amount of money, they going to use it alone, so it’s so obvious that they are just scammer.

I agree, they don't have to look for other people asking them to bet on their insiders. Because making use of that insider for themselves shall be enough to say that it's real and no need to convince and find for people to go along with their potential wins.

But no, it's a scam so they'll look for people to fool and fall for it.

If these accounts are from the gambling site itself, it's a scam. However, if an individual guarantees winnings using the excuse of an insider, this doesn't necessarily mean the gambling site is a scam it could be a fraudster exploiting our insecurity. Fraudsters often operate independently, promising insider information which easily deceives beginners in the hope of making big profits.

No, they don't come from the gambling sites but for individuals who are into community forums like btctalk and then other groups where it's composed for sports bettors and fans.
