Topic: Always check the deposit address - page 5. (Read 1097 times)

I agree, it's should be honored by the casino if that address is designated to OP's account. They can always verify and recover funds that are sent to that address because they have no prior mentioned announcement for that change.

He did the right thing of checking his deposit address first which is a norm for each of us before doing any transaction.

It is that the situation startled by the casino for doing some updates and there's no need to argue with that if a user used the old address and they have made that update just a few minutes ago after the transaction was done.

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.

What a bad timing indeed. Honestly, there was no problem at all on the side of OP, regardless of whether he was using a casino address or from any wallet since he always checked the deposit address no matter what when doing a deposit transaction.

It's just that when the expected funds arrived that deposit address got updated a while ago.

A bad timing and the site should not keep OP hanging on that problem. Usually, even if it was sent to the former address, the funds should still be received by OP since there should be at least a period before the former address will be completely unlinked to the OP's deposit address on that platform.

Whenever I make a deposit to any wallet address, I don’t use the wallet that I already copied down, I do copy the wallet directly from the gambling site. There might be an update, and there will be a change in wallet address, which you won’t really notice. I think it's better as you make this post. I am sure most people will be using the one they have copied for some period of time, and they will never confirm if the wallet is the same as the one on their gambling site, they will just send money to the one they have copied for some time. You are lucky that you got your money back. Some people might not be so lucky to get their money back.

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.

It is quite important for us to always check our wallet addresses more carefully and carefully, beforehand we will carry out transactions, especially transactions carried out on an online gambling platform. And if there is a change in the nature of your wallet with prior notification, or for example because we missed the information or simply forgot. Of course, this could result in quite a serious problem, like what you experienced (OP). Apart from that, it is quite important for us to be able to sort and choose a stable and reliable payment method when carrying out a transaction, especially when talking about a transaction such as a loan or payment. We need to pay attention to these things, so that we can avoid anything unexpected, and prevent losses.

I thank the OP for sharing his experience, which of course will be a lesson and warning for all of us and also me personally to be more careful in carrying out transactions or other financial activities.

This copy paste error is something that has become a familiar thing in the crypto world especially when it comes related to sending out funds from different wallet because this is not only pin to collection of loan but the overall thing every crypto enthusiast should do is to know that he or she needs to double check the transaction he or she is about to make because like you said once a transaction is broadcast to the network, it's a one-way ticket and no going back.

I understand OP since it's no hassle to re-use the always-used deposit address and gambling sites mostly don't update the deposit address, different from trading platforms and exchanges. I also have that habit when withdrawing from exchanges to gambling sites. As far as I know, the gambling site should have no problem fixing that issue since according to OP, it's just the moment when the funds are sent, that the deposit address got changed.

Good thing that OP got the deposit money and everything went well.

Unless it is money meant for gambling it is usually a big mistake to receive money meant for other purpose through your gambling account.

Cross-checking of deposit address whenever it is to be made should be a culture of every investor because asides deposits address changing, there is also the possibility of clipboard virus in your device without your knowledge so you must always cross check to be sure so that whenever an address changes you will be prompt to really observe it before you make the mistake of sending.

That is why it is important to use a non-custodial wallet because we have our own control even if it is depositing coins there whereas to a casino or other centralized platform if they update the depositing address then it needs proof to be credited.

I have experienced the same but it was in the exchange not in the casino so they still credit even though the wallet has been updated it was in the Kucoin exchange.
Yes it is better to double check the wallet to make sure it has not undergone any other updates sometimes we always do this even though it is trivial.

Good thing that they do able to grant out and give those funds back but since you could provide the proof that you've been able to use up that address for long time then it would really be just that ethical on their part that they would really be releasing your funds. We do know that most of casinos arent really that making out such update when it comes to changing up their address on which this is only
happening on exchange when it comes to updating wallet address Ex. Binance. So far i havent been able to encounter up such changes in casinos and now that you've shared it then
it do really shows that they are also doing this stuff on casinos on which its really just that right that you should really be watching your deposit address on the time that you would be tending
to deposit some funds.

Not about a casino though but it's a related occurrence, I remember the last time binance changed my account wallet address I was pre-informed relative to the days given as deadline of the old address expiration.

Sometimes casino could drop notification about change of address in time but there are some gamblers who don't attend to their notification button to see information behind unattended messages. We should all make it a culture to open any new notification we receive in our account without day so we don't have to attend to it when it's already late.

Another info is that we should cram the last three to five digits of our wallet address end to end and verify if it's correct before using it for any transactions,  not because we have always been using it for long doesn't mean an error in copy and paste can't occur.

Those things usually happen, one day something almost happened to me but different, because I went to send an altcoin, but I didn't verify the network, then the network was BEP20 and I almost placed ERXC-20, I don't know what happened, maybe it didn't happen sent, but in times of trouble one cannot make withdrawals or deposits, because that could mean a serious error and things could get confused, and waste money due to one of those errors, I don't know how it would be done, or how it would be recovered , but this could result in losing it.

It is very good that they encourage you to check carefully at the time of deposit and also at the time of withdrawal, any error can be very expensive and if it is in bitcoin it is even worse because it is expensive to send.

Exactly, its not necessary to check the address completely, but the least everyone should do is check at least the beginning and end of it.
And this doesn't just apply to casino deposit addresses, but also to exchanges or any other external service you use.

I once witnessed the case of a participant in my subscription campaign who used an exchange address to receive weekly payments.
It could be an excellent way to save on transaction fees, but he paid a much higher price than that after discovering that the exchange changed the deposit address and consequently this participant lost an entire week of work.

Ultimately, it's a basic learning experience, but one that many ignore over time or become accustomed to.

You should name the casino, because it's not a professional and honest behaviour. Nobody would accept that from an exchange. I am frequently paying my VPN with cryptos and the paying/deposit address changes very quickly so it often changes before the transaction has been confirmed but my balance is always credited and I would feel scam if it wasn't. I hope it was just a mistake from the customer support agent but in this situation a professional one should just apologize and instantly credit your balance except if there had been a explicit warning against the use of the address because it had been compromised.

Always research before sending and make sure everything is correct.
I always apply this when I want to send any amount of funds, because some incidents about changed addresses like the OP experienced will certainly create panic because they cannot be canceled again when they have been sent.

The OP is still lucky that the old address can still be accessed by the casino,
but if it is wrong to send it to another address or an address other than the one owned by the gambling, it will not be able to be returned again.

Some events such as the copied address changing another address because it is infected with malware, it will be very dangerous,
make sure all addresses are correct from end to end.
I myself took a few minutes to double-check all the address numbers listed whether they were correct or not.

Don't use casino wallets for your personal transactions like loan. But I think that you've taken out a loan for you to gamble if not then, that's a mistake that you've made and you should never done that again because you'll never know if they'll have some updates again in the coming times. On their end, it should still be fine to use old addresses but they should have given notice to their users that they'll have an update and old addresses won't be used anymore and anyone who deposits there will still get the funds but they only can use it until x days.
That should be the reminder or notice that they have given to their users so that everyone is aware that they won't have to use the old addresses just for the sake of their safety.

Good thing that they'd still allowed you that because if there's a destination tag and it's being asked for every deposit, you really have to include that. But then, that's stake, they're considerate but we as users have to check everything many times before doing some deposits.

It surely is not a good idea to use a casino address wallet in the first place, especially for receiving a loan money deposit, because there might be some issues in the platform, and also there is always a possibility of your account getting frozen because it's surely a centralized platform.

The platform here is doing some shady things still because of the sudden change of address at least there might be some notice at least on email, because the address is an important thing, also if there are a new wallet address generated the main one should still be working that just means you're going to have two address already, rules of thumb for sure all of the funds on the past address should still be credited on your account unless it was actually deleted on the list of address since you just generated a new one its common I guess to a lot of wallets. But I guess it is a little different on the casino platform because they could do whatever they wanted to do, so you have no claim on it, but still, you could always make a complaint on the support if they have a good one its customer if they will not give back your money I would consider it a red flag.

Also, there are a lot of cases of funds sent to the wrong address or hack method that involves the wrong deposit address so it's going to be a good practice, especially for a trader to always double-check the address, there are some cases where they are pasting the wrong address even though they just copy the address on the platform, if you always double check you could easily see right to that.

Everything must be done calmly, carefully and not in a hurry. because if not, then this will only push us into unintentional mistakes, and in the end we will regret it. A very trivial thing, but it has quite serious impacts and causes losses. It's still better if, for example, we make a deposit or withdrawal in a small amount, what if it's a large amount? Maybe it will be an event that we really regret and will be difficult to forget.

And starting from this problem, it is quite important for us to always be careful in doing everything, whether in gambling activities or other things. and trying to stay calm is the main key. Take a little time to check the deposit and withdrawal addresses listed on your casino account, just for a moment, just a few minutes. We need to do this so that undesirable things do not happen.

Did this happen to you on Stake.com? It also happened to me but in a different scenario. They credited my deposit after confirming that the address I used was from Stake.com. The same thing happened with my XRP deposit; I deposited it without using a destination tag, but they reminded me that if it happens again they won't credit it next time.
