Why not, haven't heard of any occurrence so far.
Well, this was pretty embarrassing:

Never cashed out and dont plan to, but i hope ATM is working by then.

I trust BTC ATMs but only the established ones now the new companies till they aren't on market long enought time.

The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes.  This is not paid AD!

I'd probably use $20 for an ATM I've never used before, and then go up from there once I've established it is trustworthy. Probably never more than $100 at a time, though.

Where is the risk in getting bitcoins?

You get the bitcoins...they can't be taken back.

Getting the bitcoins is the preferred outcome, however, there's a bit in the middle there where machine has your cash, and you have not got the bitcoins.

Yah this is a risk you have to take, although you'll know if you were ripped off almost immediately and then could deal with. I doubt someone would want to put their expensive machine in that dangerous situation.

The cheapest bitcoin atm cost around 300-500$, and maybe if the owner gets a request for more, he could possibly keep your cash Tongue
JK, I don't think they will do this, there can be legal issues and their reputation would be at stake.

Well if you watch that video, you can see you risk not having your bitcoins delivered on time and being stuck on there, that would be hell. It definitely needs a lot of improvement and a better more anonymous and instant service.

Good pic. I guess I would not use a BTC ATM straight away after seeing it. I'll wait a while till I see some other people using it successfully.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

It's hard to trust Bitcoin ATM for me
Expect i can buy bitcoin with paper money and no camera nearby ATM

And not asking any personal information

I am also guessing that confirmations might be an issue, if you are selling BTC(in the bidirectional ones), which might lead to waiting in lines.

I believe some of them print you a machine readable receipt and tell you to come back in 20 mins or so.

yes i would trust them with smaller amounts, just watch out for camera snapping your private keys or something, cover everything just like a pin.

Oh I see. Well, in that case i would take a hammer to the machine and make it a very costly scam.  Wink
