This is not new warning but I think people might need to be reminded about this after experiencing this personally just now. I recently made a loan using a casino wallet address, I check the wallet address if it’s the same before I ask the loan and I confirmed that it was the same.

The problem comes when the loan is already sent while my casino wallet address update right after the loan amount sent. Take note that I’m using same wallet address since I play to this casino for about 3 years and they just update my wallet address some time after I post my loan request here.

To make the story short. The balance is not credited but after a lengthy discussion with the support and after sending proof that my old wallet address is still the same when I made the deposit(loan) then they recover my funds out of good will.

The lesson here is always check the wallet address before you deposit no matter how long do you use the same address. Most importantly don’t use casino wallet address to receive funds that has a delay such as loan money and campaign payments since there’s a chance that they will update their wallet address without prior notice. Keep safe and have fun.


Yeah that's Right you need to take note of every payments transaction,sometimes you might be wanting to make deposits to your wallets and then it's been changed,so it's best you proofread to crosscheck every address is aligning with your own wallet address.

Yes we all know change is a constant thing and it's inevitable in every aspect of life but with that when such changes are occured there should be a proper notification from the casinos so we would be alert and know how best to carry on with such issue.
And I would say this is an eye opener to everyone to always check their deposit address and wallets so as not to fall victims.

But the problem I see here mate is what if the change happens almost minute or second apart from the sending of the funds? I mean the timing of the sending is almost same from the changing of wallet address then this will still occur like what you have experience here.

That would be the responsibility of the casino who change the address without any prior announcement. If such a thing happen, the fault is on the casino side obviously and the casino should resolve it by crediting the deposit to the account. There can be one other case where players are allowed to change (renew) the deposit address anytime they wish. In this case if the one who is changing address is the player, of course the player is the one who is responsible for it but I still believe that reputable casino will still try to help.
You are right, because the mistake happened with the casino. Because the casino does not notify you in advance about the change of address. However, we must and must also be careful by paying attention to the addresses of both parties when we want to make a deposit, so that unwanted errors do not occur, whether it is the casino's fault or our own.
However, it all depends on the casino we use, whether the casino has a good reputation, if yes. So, if there is an error from our side or the casino's side. They will definitely help and solve the problem well, and choosing the right casino is also very important because we will not know in the long run what will happen.

Quote from: moneystery
that's true, sometimes casinos like to change their wallet addresses and that's why players need to double check their wallet addresses and make sure whether the wallet can still be used or not. and not only that, players also need to check the network supported by the casino and don't make the mistake of depositing money on a different network. because there are several cases where players mistakenly deposit their money on different networks, and in the end the casino is not responsible for these user errors.
Many gamblers have learned their lesson from that aspect from casino to always check the address of their wallets to know if the address has be changed or not before proceed their deposit so that they will not experience what some gamblers has experienced from casino because, they didn't check the address very well before depositing their money at the moment.

Any mistakes you make by depositing the money to a wrong address, you will not hodl any casino responsible because, every casino owner use to give out their rules and regulations to gamblers to go through so that they will not make such a mistakes that will make others gamblers to think that they are scamming them.

This happened to me but not with a gambling address. It happened with our local exchange application. I used to just deposit at the same address that I have been using for a long time and then suddenly I was surprised when I checked my deposit address was changed. I don't know if they e-mailed me with an update on that change because there are just too many e-mails and I don't want to read everything.
Still, I was lucky that I received the balance that I deposited and after that, I updated my own deposit address so I won't make a mistake anymore.
They said that my old address is still live, so even if I use it I will still receive the amount deposited. Still, I just want to be careful so that no problem will happen in the future.
You are lucky that they gave you back the deposit because other gambling sites won't even care about it. And yes, I agree we must at least check it monthly or maybe every two months.

A similar story happened to me when I used one of the cryptocurrency exchangers. But everything happened differently: in general, I decided to withdraw part of my cryptocurrency, it was ethereum, like, I don't remember exactly, well, it doesn't matter. And so the money came to my card. I was very surprised, because there were exactly 1,000 more dollars than should have come. It turned out that the operator accidentally clicked on one and later began to ask for a refund. I returned it, because they knew my last name and banking details.

This must have happened to the majority of people in the crypto space today, I was also a victim too, but the exchange team helped me to solve the problem, but its rare that such happen on a gambling website, because all the online casinos that I have used always have one permanent BTC and other crypto addresses, they have never changed their address before.

I guess many people who are into gambling hardly fall for this because its not common at all, if a casino decide to swap their customers account address they must issue warning to all their users to avoid loss of fund, because there will surely be some gamblers that will keep the old address for faster transaction from one address to another.

Anyway, I guess we need to be cautious from now on, I will stop the habit of not copying the address from the gambling platform every time I want to deposit some BTC into the account, thanks for sharing.

Do not be I rush or in a hurry. And do not get used to the address you forget to double check.
What I do is to always check the first five figures and the last five figures. Then I cross check with the on the gambling website.
I know the consequences of failure to do so. It's is like double losses. Double losses because you don't know if you will win after you stake your bet.
Honestly, a online casino should not chnage their address because they are always permanent and if there is any reason for this sudden change they must notify their customers through email, changing the address without customers' consent is wrong.

Still it is for our own good if we can always check the address so that we won't be a victim of such an experience, just to avoid such thing it doesn't take much of our time to check the address before making any transactions.

I have used some online casinos and this have never happened before but this is something that's very common with crypto exchanges, and they do notify customers through email addresses for change of addresses, the last time I witnessed this was with Binance exchange, I did got their notification via email.

Good for you if the site will really be making out such refund but well its the ethical way on doing
so because its their address and everything could really be traced up.
Yes, that is if such casino who will reverse an already sent fund below their minimum deposit do actually exist, because I doubt if any casino today will want to do that, because if in such a scenerio, casinos would have asked gambler to send an additional fund so as to enable the old fund reach it's minimum deposit, before it could be credited, it would have been a better idea, but I'm sure non will want to do such, but will rather tend to capitalize on the mistake of the gambler, while confiscating such fund. Hence, we should always strive at each moment never to be a victim of sending a lost BTC, but rather learn from the mistake of others, and always ensure to look at the minimum deposit of any exchange, casino or any crypto related online platforms before sending any coin, so as to be on the safer side.

And not only the wallet address, but checking the minimum deposit amount is also very important, so that you don't sent a money that will be considered as a donation and not deposited into your exchange or casino account.
however I have actually witnessed a situation were a friend was trying to make a deposit but forgetting to check the minimum deposit that is allowed and after making the deposit he stayed for a very long time waiting for the deposit to arrive but could not see it, so he had to visit there support system for complain that was when they told him the reason why his deposit couldn't arrive because he did not meet the minimum deposit,
That's true, and one of the areas I have noticed to have this high minimum deposit are all these new-generation casinos (i.e casinos who got launched with the last 3yrs), with a minimum deposit most times of over $20, of which if by mistake you happen to send any coin below the minimum deposit, its authentically considered as a donation and irreversible. Hence, the need for taking note of those very important, because one annoying thing I have noticed is that most casinos don't always write/indicate minimum deposit at areas that are easily visible to gamblers, but could be found in casino terms and conditions, hence, the need for reading it's terms and conditions is always very important.

Yeah that's just the problem most people normally face because just like you said is very unfortunate that most of those platform doesn't put there information easily visible and at the end most people will become a victim because it is believed that every platform that has a certain minimum deposit amount normally have the information boldly written on the deposit area so since most people are use to seeing it that way so in a case they did not see it that way they would just send any amount they feel is okay for them without knowing the actual minimum deposit, although like you already mentioned those things are mostly common on those new Casinos that got launched new because they miss out adding some features while trying to kick start the platform immediately. Although the truth is that even if is boldly written on the deposit area most people will always fall a victim because most people doesn't have the habits of reading which can also lead to making a mistake.
Honestly, its not something that you would really be able to see in most gambling sites on which most of them are really having that fixed deposit addresses and this is something that new that
they would really be having that kind of changing address like on exchange sites. I dont know on whats their set up on this one if it tends that they would be making out some changes then it would
really be just that right that they will be making out some announcement in relation to that because not all would really be that a fan on seeing those changes specially in regarding on this one.
You would really be tending to make it fix and wouldnt be checking those addresses. Good for you if the site will really be making out such refund but well its the ethical way on doing
so because its their address and everything could really be traced up.

I was thinking this is some post about phishing attempts since that's what's usually talked about in relation to the title of the thread. My eyebrow raised when you said they recovered your fund sent to the wrong address out of goodwill since I think it's still their responsibility to do so. I'm assuming that they initiated the change in address without prior notice and anyone could have fallen "victim" to that. I hope casinos wouldn't charge you anything for doing that.

Sometimes errors like that occur when we usually routinely carry out transactions with a fixed address. and sometimes we have labeled the name of the address to make the transaction process easier. but it turns out that some casino platforms and exchanges have policies regarding changing deposit addresses. This must be paid attention to so that there are no errors in the transaction. maybe if the platform is still generous in returning assets. if the platform doesn't want to know about the error it could end badly for us.
Transactions always hang due to the heavy traffic online and  most of these gamblers makes terrific mistakes in the system, which causes losses. The system is broad and we shouldn't be in fast lane to proceed to crucial phase without passing thoroughly the procedure, because slight mistakes will definitely lead to another thing. We can continue having errors but atleast it shouldn't be from our ends, instead we should stack up the important points necessary to be in good position in the system, errors are made daily in the system.

Yeah, I think OP is just incredibly unlucky. The chance for the exact scenario to happen again is quite low unless you pay with a low fee that might put your tx way below the average fee. Even if you double-check numerous times if the change happened when you sent your money nothing can be done. The only way to prevent this comes from the platform you used. They should provide a window before the old deposit address becomes obsolete. That should save the user and the CS some hours of support chat.

That's a rare instance but I agree that we have to check it and make it a habit wherever we're going to get our deposit addresses.

So, this could also potentially happen in some services that you're using their address and not from your own wallet that you've generated. Even it is a rare thing to commence.

Do it at all times whenever you're going to send or give it to someone that will send you funds in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies.
Its good that the said casino did really make out such consideration on giving it back on which it would really be just that right that they would really be doing so specially if they havent been able to include it into their terms or having no announcement of such change address then its just right that they would be giving it back because if its not and its been proven that this is an address that belongs to the casino then it would
really be making such big ruckus when complaints and issues been raised. Just like on what most people been saying that it would be always better that you should really be checking deposit addresses on the time that you would really be making out such transfers on which we know that there might be some last minute change on which it would really be resulting into such hassle on which this is something
that we dont really like to happen.
The casino has to because that's his deposit and they've made such changes without having some announcement for everyone's awareness.

Even I, if it happens to me. I'd continue to have talks with the support because that deposit is I've hard worked money.

So, we just do what OP has done and needs to check any updates because on his case, he never lacked of checking it.

This is not just for gambling, but for evey transaction that we would do in crypto currency.
Honestly I would always double check the address even if I just copy paste it to verify if it is accurate before sending it out.
I've been doing this because I once sent out money to the wrong address I thought that I already copied my friends address, but it turns out to be my gambling accounts address.
Good thing that the address that I've accidentally sent out the money was my account I just need to pay for more fee.

The problem comes when the loan is already sent while my casino wallet address update right after the loan amount sent. Take note that I’m using same wallet address since I play to this casino for about 3 years and they just update my wallet address some time after I post my loan request here.

The issue of borrowing money to gamble have been abundantly condemned as bad habit in this forum so I will be surprised if there are people still doing it. To think that you almost lost borrowed funds due to depositing to wrong address scares me to my bone marrow. So two major things are wrong in this story, one being borrowing money for gambling and the other is being unable to double check the deposit address as it ought to be per deposit. Because of several complaints of people depositing to the wrong address, I always ensure to copy my deposit address from the betting platform or exchange where I am making the deposit to anytime I want to deposit. Even though I have used that address in the past, I always like coping from the source each time I want to deposit to avoid making mistakes.

Wait... why you take a loan for gambling? I believe most people know gambling using loan is really bad.

Shit happen to you, many centralized sites weren't updating the deposit address for long time, they just update it after few months or years, even though they didn't notify their customers. Glad the casino still want to recover your coins.

To me it seems pathetic, he asks for a loan to gamble in the casino, deposits it directly there, and almost loses it by not checking the address. The worst thing is that the discussion is focused on the fact that you have to check the address, and not on the danger of taking loans to gamble.

That's necessary if we don't want to lose without betting. But I bet the casino, a just casino would credit an account to your balance once it's on their wallet. Because in this case, it's easy for OP to prove that the address is link to his deposit account, and casino could not deny that, otherwise OP can create a scam accusation with the casino and I'm sure the community will symphatize.

Yes, it was a mistake for not checking the address first, or making sure that the loan will be sent immediately, but as we can trace, it will point it to the  owner of the address which is OP..Borrowing money for gambling is just another story, we don't tackle it here.

Yeah, It's easy for OP to prove as long as he has a proof and if there's none, It's hard to believe if he is telling the truth. these kinds of incidents, especially those involving money, can be easily resolved as long as there is proof that the money deposited by OP to the casino's wallet address was not credited.
Take note that when it comes to any fund transfer transaction or deposit, It's better for us to track it correctly and do not rush things to avoid this kind of incident

The proof is within the account, if OP have made transactions of that address before, he can just look at the history of deposits and tell the casino "hey! that's my address as you can see"... you know, it's not impossible, it's easy, but I understand what OP tries to send to us, we don't want inconvenience, so we need to ensure that our address are still the address we are using now.

I have a extra moment to double-check, do not hurry, or else you might end up sending funds to the wrong place. Stay vigilant even when you are dealing with routine transactions. Trust your gut, verify the details , nbo matter how familiar you are with the process. Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your hard earned money
correct but the problem is that when we are constantly in a hurry like when we are 
losing in gambling because most of the time like that? we forget to manage everything
but just to deposit and continues the momentum of our gaming.

OP thanks for this advises sometimes we thought this is a normal case but lots are becoming victims of this.
