With just some simple logic then we can easily spot out that this is already a scam. Anything offers for low price for getting big bucks in return then thats already a big flag.

When you do mentioned that he do only need $100 deposit for you to get or win constantly in the site then you would surely think of, on why the hell he's been sharing of this
holy grail and make himself gain those amount?

It doesnt need for him to hide even he's the moderator since he can create new account and made up a deposit for himself and abuse if such bug do really exist in the first place.

Aside from it being a scam, assuming that the offer is legit and the event happens that you won the said jackpot price and by some chance, players noticed the abnormal thing about that winnings and file a complaint, it will give us a problem if the complaint is justified and we will be charged as an accomplice to the crime. Giving in will only lead us to the losing end whether the guy's offer is real or not.

It isnt really that much of a bothering thing since these kind of offers doesnt exist in the first place if there are people who do have access on altering sites results.

In case if this one is legit then once you get caught then be sure to face up charges but i would say that its hard to trace out someone specially if we do deal up with things online
how much more if we do deal up with crypto.

In first glance this is clearly just a scam attempt.

100$ is small compared to the expected amount of winning.But the problem is Only greed person will be attracted in this stupid offers.

Random person contacted you in telegram?why not contacted their family member or friends to make the Bet?

That is just a simple question that scammers harder to answer.

100 usd is already big to me . good thing that my poorness/cheapness can save me from many scam attempts and infact i never been scammed till now .

big depo is always equals to bigger rewards but that is usually the tactics of scammers . they cant earn enough if they will use smaller amounts but actually smaller amounts is more believable and many people will fall for it . they didnt figure that out ? lol .

Candidly speaking, isn't strange to me because I see them everyday. Those who still pretty fall for these scam aren't experience types, rather newbies. If you work in a gambling site and you ever have the chance to make money, will you ever approach a stranger?. Nobody will do; but to approach their families. In fact, anyone who fell or likely to fall to this scam is a greedy fellow. Those who can control their greedy mind can never fall for this scam.

This kind of scam is very popular! not only on Gambling website but in trading websites also, I have an experience when they have a promo that when you deposit the x amount and then, you will receive the x amount of welcome reward. Sadly I became victim of this and I hope there's no more people that are going to get scammed by this scheme.

Don't believe on any free money promo that requires you to deposit.

This reminds me of “the prince of Nigeria scam” which was a big hit in 2002-2007 years and sometimes it even appears now.The modality there was that some parent left him big amount of money but he needed a partner in order to receive the money therefore they asked people of many personal details which were then used to clone or create false credit cards.

Same here only this time the scammer work as an insider at X company where he can manipulate things and make you a winner.

Damn you are right not only Price of Nigeria but Ceo of big companies who have no heir to leave his fortune, there are so many of these in those years, and I still received emails like this from time time, this scheme has been exposed on the internet in TV in newspaper and articles, they still want to try their luck.
But this gambling scam attempt still persist they just rest for a while now they are back again, I remember there are so many of this late last year.

Scammers really use this kind of trick to lure people to play on their websites. I have seen similar stories and approaches like this here in the forum, so you will already notice if the message is suspicious or not. A moderator himself, asking random people to deposit and play, promising to make them win and then asking half of the jackpot. That's already suspicious. People shouldn't fall for this "easy money" because you will just end up losing everything. It's better to report and ignore random messages from a stranger, especially like what OP received.

Btw, thanks for informing us here since we never know if someone would actually fall for those scammers. There's already a lot of messages like this in Telegram so I just ignore them.

First of all, thank you very much for the hint. You might want to consider starting a thread on the Scam Accusations Board to get more people's attention on bitxplay. Definitely not everyone here at Bitcointalk is reading threads in the gambling section on a regular basis

The scam with DMs in Telegram where links, *.exe files and unbelievably good offers are posted is really taking over. I also get daily inquiries from some users I don't know. I also don't understand why Telegram doesn't take more intensive steps against this or at least offers rudimentary protection mechanisms (like e.g. setting options in the profile who is allowed to write to you directly).

The website is just made a few days ago so obviously it's just about modifying the results board to make the victim believe that he's actually giving a win. But in reality, once you deposit the asking amount, he will never get back to you.
These scammers are going to different style and up to the point that they will create as if they're legitimate casino just to fool and scam people. Yes, don't listen to anybody especially strangers on telegram.

being message by a random guy to encourage you to try a site that is unfamiliar is already questionable . i recieve many of those message but i didnt bother to open the links because i know what will be the results are .

there are times that some user refer me to a known site with a good offer mostly about affliate but i didnt agree on it either because i think im the one that will loose in the long run . just try to work with your own if that what makes you comfortable .

Thanks for the warning, it is useful for other members here so we can avoid such scam attempts. Without a doubt it is an old scam method. Giving users free money and easy win on the game then ask users to deposit xx amount of money in order to withdraw the winning. Once a user is fooled, the site will run away with the deposited money. Lesson learned, dont trust unknown users on any social media who offers you something that sounds too good to be true.

Thanks for sharing but since this happens in telegram then you can only assume that people here will be more alert.

Thats why never entertain anyone in telegram unless you are expecting something in good faith.
This scammers will never stop as long as there are people that entertaining them.

Use this as charging to experiences mate to not do it again,Blocked the user or report on the spot.

Newly created website, another red flag that this is a scam. There are also a lot of similar stunts being pulled in exchanges, someone will message you in Telegram and telling you to sign up with this "X" platform and you will play a roulette and you are going to win. But before you can withdraw, you have to deposit 0.01 BTC.

But still, you entertain the chat, right? This to show that even experienced one still taking chances.

Thanks for the heads-up!

As soon as I read the "The minimum amount to deposit is $100" on their FAQ - no way I will use the site even how legit they are. Not that they are a scam but the minimum deposit is too way high. That reason alone will make gamblers not to consider using the site. They are really in a rush to earn more from deposits.

There will be many more like that, especially in the telegram, which they can hide their identity from people. I have seen many like them, but I don't pay attention and always delete the chat or report it to the telegram support. Telegram is the best place to trick people because the apps allow us to send anything, even we can make bots to invite people to join in our channel.

If someone can make us win games, and we see that really happens, but then he needs us to send some money, then that will be a scam sign for us, and we don't have to do anything. Just forget that, and don't interact with him because no matter what, he will trick us by offering so many big rewards to us. So be careful if you get a suspicious thing from any social media or the internet, it is better to check by searching on other sources.

Indeed a suspicious one. How many players do they already have? If they just got the SSL certificate this 28th June , they probably gaining some trust to scam other players. Also isn't too much for $100 as minimum deposit? I have visited the gambling site itself, 403 online players in chat. But chat is not moving. Is there a possibility they can manipulate the number of players?

For someone who just give u such unestablished gambling site, it is hard to entrust and take the risks.

For sure that gambling website is manipulated by only 1 person, which is the one who contacted you in the telegram.
Hahaha, and their chat area part on the left area, for sure it's fake and random number only. If you try to refresh every time the page and you can see the number of online in the chat is so quick to change. Jeez, totally fake.

I just want to alter you all for not listening to any stranger on the internet.

Thanks for alerting us, mate. Indeed, sending tantalizing offers via telegram inbox is a rampant scam that seems to happen every day. That's why I am lazy to read any messages from a stranger on telegram. I ever experienced it, someone sent me a message and offered me Bitcoin as a reward for doing a task. But I just blocked him and deleted the message as I think what he offered was non-sense. Well, I think we must avoid doing something nonsense and even the sender is "unknown" or stranger. It's too risky and possibly scams us.
