A good point to add is to only gamble on Bitcointalk approved casinos. This will greatly lessen your chances of getting scammed by some fake or unprofessional casino. Also, KYC platforms will at some point ask for KYC so I think it is safer to do KYC before depositing any funds. So if something goes wrong, you are not stuck in a month long battle just to get your money back. You should keep updating this topic every now and again to keep everyone informed and safe.
Keep up the good work, OP!
You know, your post make me think how many Bitcoin casinos there are out there which do not have or have never had a thread there in Bitcointalk. There are probably several small ones, but I cannot think of one big enough casino which deals with Bitcoin and do not have an thread here.
Those casinos that only deal with fiats deposit does not have announcement here but it does not mean that these casinos are not reputable. Most of the casinos that have an announcement here deals with BTC so I believe it is biased to think that those that does not have announcement here in the forum should be avoidied.
I agree, having an announcement thread here does not signify that these casinos will not scam their player. We have seen cases of it here where a casino with announcement thread here scam their players.
When visiting unknown websites, we can always look for different review sites and check the condition of the casino in dealing with their players. Others would love to share any injustice they experience in these review sites so it would be a good hint about the reputation of a casino.
Even if there are casino which are reputable, deal with FIAT and do not have a thread here. It is difficult for me to think about the possibly of those services not considering to accept Bitcoin and other cryptos, to make their gamblers life easier.
Here in my country, the use of Stablecoins and Bitcoin has become so widespread that people would prefer to use those decentralized tools instead their bank accounts. I have seen some advertisements of casinos in the streets of my city and those casinos do not have an ANN here, whether they are reputable or not, I cannot say.
But I am almost sure they accept Crypto, otherwise they won't have marketshare here. In the case someone hit a jackpot and wanted to withdraw to their bank account, there would be a real risk of getting the bank account frozen or seized.
