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:

  1. The victim finds the casino through an advertisement on social media that features an enticing bonus endorsed by a famous celebrity.
  2. The victim joins the site, receives their bonus, and begins to play what they believe to be legitimate casino games.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Video Poker players, take back what is yours. Don’t let the casino win.

My Fellow Degenerate Gamblers,
The casinos have taken everything from us. We are homeless, jobless, and forced to commit heinous crimes just to feed our families after we gambled away our life savings. All because of the casinos' greed.

But no longer.
I come to you today with the solution.
A revolutionary tool we can use to strike at the heart of each and every casino.
That tool?
Video Poker Analyzer

Take a photo of any video poker hand and instantly identify a machine’s RTP and the best cards to hold. No manual inputs, just take a photo and get the most profitable play.

No longer do we have to question what the right hold strategy is, or guess whether we’re being robbed blind playing a game with a horrendous paytable.

Today, we strike back. Today, we beat the casino. Today, we get our wife back after she left us for having a gambling problem and losing the house. Today, we win.

--------

OK jokes aside, I built this thing after losing my job and playing a lot of Video Poker to cope. I saw people making the worst hold decisions and playing at horrific paytables. Even as an 'expert', myself, I didn't know the correct hold strategy for every hand and game (especially for new games or Ultimate X which has different strategies depending on your active multipliers). It features:

  • Analysis in 2-3 seconds (paytable analysis and top three hold decisions ranked by EV)
  • 20+ supported games (including Ultimate X and Super Times Pay)
  • 500+ supported paytables (I flew around the country collecting them)
  • iOS app that launched this week
  • No manual inputs, just take a photo

Whether you're a casual player or a degen like me, I think you'll get a lot out of this. Give it a go and let me know what you think! videopokeranalyzer.com

Anyone else stop caring about bonuses entirely?

Upvotes

Used to spend more time reading bonus terms than actually playing.40x wagering, max bet limits, game restrictions, cashout caps. All that shit just to maybe withdraw $50 from a 500% match. Now I just play somewhere with no bullshit cashback and fast withdrawals. its much more relaxing and somehow I end up with more money at the end of the month.

Why are crypto casino tournaments so underrated when the prize pools are actually decent

8 Upvotes

been getting into the tournament side of things lately and it kind of blew my mind that decent size prize pools (like 20-60k range) are just sitting there while most people are grinding their own deposit alone. leaderboard positions are actually reachable if you play consistently.

feels like everyone chases the crypto casino bonus grind and misses that half the value is sitting in the promo tab under tournaments. anyone else running these or is bonus hunting still the go-to

Do you think this is a good idea? We are planning on creating a VIP online casino concierge.

Upvotes

We are an online casino affiliate company, and recently we had this idea since we help and talk to a lot of vip players, that we could create a VIP concierge on telegram,

where someone can join, they can interact with a real human concierge agent, and they can help you find the best cash bonuses, get you the best cashback conditions and if you need help sort or speed up your withdrawals if there is an issue they could help with that too.

playing through our link we could give the players additional weekly cash-back, sports betting picks, concert and sports event tickets and promotions.

i know a bunch of vips already in communities with bookies and things like that to help them find bonuses or else and it and we were thinking a good quality service like this could be very helpful for a lot of people.

would you guys think this is a good idea to start, and what would be your ideas or things you would want to see a concierge like this to provide

The NFL just brought back its DraftKings and FanDuel deals ahead of the season, after going exclusive with Fanatics earlier this year.

1 Upvotes

Kind of curious what people make of that. Was the exclusive partner route always going to be too hard to hold in a market this big, or does bringing the old partners back actually weaken Fanatics' position?

What's your opinion, smart course correction, or a sign the exclusive deal didn't work out the way they hoped?

Why parlays have a much worse house edge than single bets (with actual math)

3 Upvotes

A lot of people know parlays are "harder to hit" but don't fully get why the house edge compounds so badly. Let me break it down with real numbers.

Start with a single bet

Most spread and total bets are priced around -110. At -110, you're risking $110 to win $100. The implied probability of a -110 line is 110/210, which is about 52.4%. But the true break-even probability for a fair 50/50 bet is 50%. That ~2.4% gap is the vig, or the house edge on that one bet.

To use a real example: the Athletics/Rangers total on Tuesday has the Over at -103 on one book and -118 on another, and the Under ranging from -104 to -125 depending on where you look. The spread on the run line is similarly scattered. The point is every one of those lines is already priced with a margin built in against you.

Now parlay two of those legs

Say you take two legs, each priced at -110. The sportsbook converts each to a decimal (1.909) and multiplies them: 1.909 x 1.909 = 3.645. They typically pay you around 2.6/1 on a two-teamer, keeping the rest. The fair payout for two true 50/50 outcomes would be 4/1 (you had a 25% chance of hitting both). You're getting paid less than the fair odds on every single leg, and then that shortfall gets multiplied together.

Three legs makes it worse

Three legs at -110 each: fair payout would be 8/1. Most books pay around 6/1. You've now compounded a bad deal three times. By the time you're at a 4-leg parlay, the house edge on the parlay as a whole can easily be 3 to 4 times the edge on any individual leg.

The math in plain terms

Each leg you add multiplies your own probability of winning by something less than what the book credits you. You never get full value for each leg. The shortfall stacks multiplicatively, not additively. That's why a 10-leg parlay at a sportsbook is essentially a lottery ticket for them, not you.

What this means practically

None of this means parlays are always the wrong choice for entertainment. But you should go in knowing that a $20 parlay is not "$20 risked to win a lot." It's $20 with an expected return that gets worse with every leg you add. Single bets at the best available line, shopped across books, carry far less built-in edge against you.

If you want to see how parlay payouts stack up against the fair math, Line Whale has a parlay calculator you can plug numbers into: https://linewhale.com/tools/parlay-calculator. Also useful for checking where individual lines actually sit across books before deciding which legs are even worth considering: https://linewhale.com

FanDuel “ Rewards Club” with no rewards

3 Upvotes

Just curious, when was the last time you all have seen a rewards box? I’m level 4 but it expires today. I just can’t give them any more of my money if there is literally 0 loyalty.

I’ve messaged/emailed support like 10 times this month and they just give you the run around. I kept asking them what is the point of a rewards program that has no rewards? 😂

BTW, I have every other app so please no DMs about referrals. Just here to vent
