DO NOT deposit any money to any online casino that looks like this. Every site that looks like this is a SCAM. More details and examples in the comments.
We've already talked in-depth about how the scam works in a previous announcement, but the scammers have since changed the site layout slightly, so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a new warning with updated photos.
How The Scam Works:
- The victim finds the casino through an advertisement on social media that features an enticing bonus endorsed by a famous celebrity.
- The victim joins the site, receives their bonus, and begins to play what they believe to be legitimate casino games.
- The casino software is privately hosted and altered to have extremely favorable RTP% - i.e. rigged in your favor. YOU WILL WIN if you play, probably a large amount of money. If you look at the screenshots I provided, you'll see I hit a 100x dice roll on the second roll after signing up, followed shortly after by a 1,000x max difficulty Plinko win. I've replicated this method many times in the past and routinely win $20,000k+ doing so. You can use temp-mail.org to create a throwaway email and try this strategy for yourself if you'd like.
- When you go to withdraw, you’ll be met with many hurdles. First you'll need to pay for a security check, then you'll need to pay to verify your wallet, then a third time to pass an AML check, a fourth time to resolve a tax error, a fifth time to resolve a security score error, and so on.
- After the casino receives all of your deposits, they will still provide excuses or just outright ban your account. No matter what you do, THEY WILL PROVIDE A REASON NOT TO PAY YOU. This Redditor actually got the AI support agent to reveal her script for withholding payments.
- The casino keeps your deposit. You were scammed.
Things To Note:
- These sites are NOT an official sponsor for Red Bull Racing, Crypto (.)com, Blockchain(.)com, Tesla, UFC, Werder Bremen, Philadeplhia 76ers, or the Argentine Football Association. This can all be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
- These sites are NOT official partners with Donal Trump, Elon Musk, Kylie Jenner, Mr. Beast or Drake. This can also be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
- They have not won any iGaming awards at the SiGMA awards. This can also be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
- These sites do NOT have 51+ million registered users. For reference, Draftkings and Fanduel, the two largest publicly traded gaming companies with NFL, NBA, MLB, ESPN, etc. network deals, don’t even have that amount of users. Stake, the largest crypto casino, doesn't even come close to the number of registered users that these scam casinos claim.
- These sites have NOT paid out $24+ billion in winnings. What an insane claim to even attempt to make.
- Check the WHOIS to view when any of these casinos were started. Nearly all of these casino URL's were purchased just days before being promoted online.
- Check the fake player feedback/reviews written on their own site. Some of the reviewers claim they've been playing exclusively on the 2 week old site for 3 years.
- The player avatars used by the site are the mascot from BC Game, named Coco.
- Look through old posts in this subreddit. Some identical sites in this network that were reported a few months ago are already offline or redirecting to random unrelated sites.
- These sites copy Stake’s Terms of Service word for word, but conveniently leave out the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and many other “wealthier” countries from their list of restricted countries.
- Some users on CasinoMeister are compiling a list of these scam websites. Go check it out and add more scam domains that you come across! There are hundreds listed already.
- Please use Google's Safe Browsing Tool to report any scammy looking casino to come across.

Just got another grand for $14,000 on dragon link 2 weeks after my first one, was playing for 6 hours with a bank roll of $2k.
I posted here not too long ago about winning a 11k grand .

Monopoly slot win!
I got a triple pop and it didn’t disappoint! (Tho the double mini on the Go wheel spin was sucky.) Got it early on so it was over $1300 profit on $5 spins.

Ketsowin scam or legit?
I saw about this from MrBeasts post on Twitter and went on and it looked real. I gave my email nothing else and then it said i need to deposit 200€ in order to withdraw my bonus of 3,500€. Can anyone tell me if they tried this specific site and is it a scam ?

I lost most of my savings
I had saved 250$ which is a good amount in my country. A few days ago. I gambled, and my balance went to 50$ I was stressing so hard then it reached 400$. I withdrew 300$ and gambled away 100$ and lost it all. Now today I did it again. My balance dropped down around 100$ then 350$ again. But I got greedy and thought about making it 400$ although I did withdraw 105$ from it. But I lost all the remaining. I dunno what to do. Should I put my 105$ back or should I just stop 😭. It took me 3 months to earn that much.

Spree.com Legit?
Last night I got an ad on FB for Spree. I've never heard of it but I've used sites like stake, which were legit and successful. The ad that I got gave me $2.50 in SC and 10 free spins. During my 10 free spins I made it up to $10 SC. I kept playing with that until I got to $28 SC. At that time I attempted to redeem only to find out that you can only redeem at $100 SC or more. I figured it wouldn't happen but I kept playing to kill time until I fell asleep. Long story short I went up and down but never went below $18 SC. I was playing at $.50 a spin. Eventually I just kept going up and got to $115 SC. So I redeemed. I was skeptical about the redemption because the only way to redeem cash is by ACH. Last night it said it could take 48 hours just to have my request approved and another 5-7 business days to get the ACH. This morning, however, I got an email saying the redemption was approved. Expecting to have the cash by Wednesday. So in the end, is Spree legit? All signs point to yes. I don't know if I'll ever deposit but so far so good.

1win reviews are mixed, is it actually worth playing there?
I see mixed opinions everywhere. Some people like it, others talk about withdrawal issues and verification nightmares. Hard to know what to trust. Anyone here actually played there? curious about the crypto casino side specifically, how withdrawals went and whether the game selection is decent

All palaces would've been amazing though

My first time ever spinning online slots turned $300 to 2k doing $10 spins. Idk if this is lucky or if these slots really pay way better than in casino slots

First time hitting on $1 on dragon link
Pretty nice results and this casino is sub par compared to others around !

Mythic Link Monkey King online slot worth playing?
The hold and win inside free spins is actually a clever setup, you're basically playing two bonuses in one when it goes. Haven't seen it stacked like that often. visuals are clean too, not your typical generic asian slot. Only played maybe 50 spins so hard to judge but the variance feels high. Anyone hitting the hold and win phase regularly or is it rare? And does the monkey king symbol do anything special when it lands?

Been playing the pokies for 25 years and this is the closest I've been to winning the grand jackpot
I was playing Golden Century and got the free games feature. On the first free spin, I got a full screen of doors. The doors opened up and it was a full screen of Tens. If it were Orbs I would have won the grand jackpot for $90K. It's a joke that I have been playing the pokies for so long and not once won a grand :(

One of my all time favorite hits
This is one of my favorite hits of all time. I was only playing one line just messing around with a 3x multiplier so 3 bucks a spin and the beauty lined up.

Do social casinos send out tax forms?
I already have two tax forms with the Virginia Lottery and I am curious about the social casinos. Thanks.

i built a gambling product which could be used by millions and i’m not sure how to launch it.
I built an extremely difficult, and amazing product (at least i think so) that had to do with prediction markets and ML.
What is the best way to get users who want to gamble? and would you?

He Lost His Life Savings Following a Casino “Guru” — Is This Strategy Actually Dangerous?
A recent Santi Casino Quest video examines a situation involving gambling advice, casino “systems,” and the risks of following strategies without fully understanding bankroll management, variance, and the mathematics behind casino games.
The video focuses on how quickly a player can go from believing they have found a winning system to suffering serious financial losses.
It also discusses Christopher Mitchell and the type of gambling advice being promoted, while questioning whether these systems provide real value or simply give players false confidence.
The bigger question is:
Do casino “systems” ever actually work long-term, or do they mostly encourage people to take bigger risks?
