I’m still confused what’s their main purpose but they are the one who partner with the casino to lure VIP players in the form luxurious offer such as accommodation and travel trips just to make them play in the casino. In return, they will get profit sharing on the total amount spend by their recruits. Casino junket counter part in online casino are those Gambling review sites and other that offers extra rewards such as free spin or other form of rewards which they are paying from their own pocket when player sign up using their referral link.

I become curious on this subject since there’s a big scam incident on my country that involves casino junket operation as business front in exchange for investment. They are offering 5% income per month to all investors which we all know that is already a ponzi.

https://entertainment.inquirer.net/522430/yexel-sebastian-asserts-casino-junket-is-legit-amid-investment-scam-accusations

I’m just thinking if there’s still some casino offers this type of luxurious reward to their players aside from rakebacks.

Yexel had already flown to Japan when he smelled or felt that he was going to be charged, so before he was given a hold of departure, he also took the lead. I don't even know why the casino junket was used to find a victim.

As far as I know, the investors will be given 5% per month with a minimum amount of at least $18,000 as the capital starter. It's like my understanding is that your junket money will be used to gamble; it's like that. When you agree, they will pay 5% interest. But no one eventually had a problem that after a few months the capitalists did not receive 5%, and I also think that no casino offered such 5% per month to investors; that's when they didn't realize it was a Ponzi scheme that he

I had not heard about it, though.
Thanks for giving the headsup on this scam accusation. I personally try to go and follow my instinct that 5% per day/month is definitely a scam.

The only cases I have seen myself are Ponzi schemes dressed up as betting platforms, where it is basically impossible to lose money and people get up 5% daily because partaking in false sportbetting in the ficional casino. In the end it is always the same, the money gets seized and the scammers withdraw it all towards their own private wallet.  Roll Eyes

I have noticed that these days Ponzi schemes tend to be very camuflajed, so people will think they are actually doing investments, or betting, or buying precious metals from home.

Keep us updated when this scheme collapses.
There are lots of Ponzi and one of it is the one that you saw. I think its one of the effective because many of us believe that casino is a profitable business. We are forgetting the fact that losing is still possible and the operators can still run away with our money and as well as the bettor's money.

Maybe there are still some who are legit but maybe their return is not big as that 5 percent because they are also paying different expenses and sometimes a player can win huge too. Ponzi schemes needs to be very camouflaged so that they won't be detected easily. They are aware that people are getting knowledgeable about different scam schemes.

To me, it would not matter how big or successful a casino could be, It would be very difficult for me to accept they can give up to 5% in passive income to all their investors. It simply does not make sense, you know why?

Governments are supposed to be more powerful and have more money than casinos and the most powerful government on the planet is the government of the United States of America. They have a Treasury Bond program, so people can lend money to them and get passive income in return.

The occasions when the Bonds are in a high yield rate, they offer up to 3-4% yearly, not even per month... So there is no reason to believe a casino which is not even at the top within the industry, can offer more interest than the American government.  Roll Eyes

It just take a minute to analyze, and yet there is still people who fall for it...

When those ponzi schemes and modus had been bust up then these scammers would really be coming up with something new or something that cant really be that detected or something that people havent been seen before and this one is really that making use of casino or trying to making it as a cover up and make people believe that it was really that legit until it exploded on the time that they cant really be able to pay up anymore. There's no such thing on this world would be giving out that 5% guaranteed interest on monthly basis. There's no such legit business or things that will really be giving out that kind of chance aside from those scam companies or groups or offerings.

This is why it would really be just that right that making use of your common sense and controlling your greedy side would be always recommended because it is really just that normal for a human
being to get interested whenever they do see something a good deal on which they cant really be able to earn somewhere neither on physical or online investment or offerings
and this what makes them easily get hooked up on the time that they've been able to meet or hear these good deals but sadly it is really just that a pure scam.
They might last for a while but there's always end to it when it comes that not sustainable anymore.

They are giving the guarantee to trust them because they're trusted personalities but they all intended to do is all plan their swindling against these investors that have trusted them their hard earned money. There's also wrong on these investors because they didn't do in depth research before investing into this dubious offer.
I agree, they uses their social media presence as influencers to lure their potential victims. But if you are into investments, there are a lot of red flags from the beginning. They are offering 5% every month? It's obvious a too good to be true offer. And then they started to flaunt their millions in front of the people, so many take it as a success and that they are really genuine.
True, if you've been investing in various assets, businesses and investments, you'll see the red flag on this one. Honestly, I didn't even know that they've been doing this for quite a while because it never came to me. My friends knew that I am into investing but when there's a red flag, I've been always frank with them and tell them in short sentences that it's an outright scam if it is.

But since they are well-known, the victims took their face value and trusted this two personalities. However, they suddenly disappear and still up to this day they claim that they are not scammers. They are now hiding out of the country, and it just sad that many lost in this unfortunate scam and people are not going to learn from previous scam investments in the country.
It's normal for a real scammer to deny that they are a scammer to confuse people. But we will see that these people will be served what they've done and will be fugitives and their worlds will become smaller.

The one who collected the money or investment are social media influencers which has a huge followers, they keep flexing all their money on social media which attracted investors after these influencers offered an investment plan. Victims told the media that they suppose to get investment contract but instead they receive a loan contract turned to be a red flag. It's not a small amount but the people who invested are just blinded how good the offer is and also how good the influencer convinced the victims. There are victims that the source of money was casino junket after other victims exposed the social media influencers.
If thats the case then its clearly it was a scam since from the start. How people do get blinded about having signing up some loan contracts instead of investment contract if it was really that an investment?

It does really shows on stupid those people are and making investments blindly without even trying to dig out on whats the real deal that they are facing on, on which they are really just that too much focused on
getting those returns without even trying to look on what are those potential risks that they could face on.Its always been that a golden rule that everything that turns out too good to be true then its most likely a scam or definitely a scam but still there are really that those stupid people who cant really just resist even it is really that obvious that it is really that clearly something fishy with those.
Getting some huge % on a specific amount of time without doing anything? You should really be thinking up twice already because there's always a catch always in the end and this is something
that you should really be looking into.

You wont really be getting wrecked if you had just made yourself that wise when it comes to decisions and really that making use of your own common sense rather than on making
yourself getting blinded with those offers which are obviously that a scam attempt but people do really likes on losing money first before they would really be learning their
lesson on which this had been always the case.
The victims told that they trust those influencers with the reason of those influencers are rich and always flexing their toy collection and money in their socials. They are blinded with the possibility of they can also get rich along with those influencers but the sad truth is they really wont. I also think that they are blinded by the 5% return each month which they said is guaranteed, obvious red flag. It's just sad to see people are still getting scammed by this kind of investment scheme which is unsustainable if we view it long term. I hope with the trending topic of this scam incident in our country, my country man should be awake that not all investment are true even if it came from a person who has a lot of influence.

Yes, this is currently one of the most prominent news stories in the Philippines. This couple managed to amass hundreds of millions of pesos through their scam. They presented the casino junket as a legitimate operation, which, I believe, isn't in question. However, their activities, where they used the casino junket to attract investors despite not fully operating in the same way, raise a lot of red flags.

Here's the catch: when they offered a 5% monthly return, investors didn't seem to mind much about the inner workings of the business once they had invested. All they were concerned about was receiving that 5% interest income on a monthly basis. It's only when that income didn't materialize that they took action and filed a case against the individuals who had attracted them to invest. The big question now is whether the money can be recovered.
  This is why one has to be more careful when clicking links online, especially when the links has all this enticing offers, remember not all that glitter is gold. You might think oh yeah this is it, but you failed to put into consideration that money can’t be made easy. You have to go through risk and work to get to the reward. There are lot of Ponzi scheme companies hiding behind the name of betting or casino. We fall to this trap when we fail do our own research. Ignorance is a disease and can cause a lot of damage. There is always a red flag when you see a Ponzi scheme, but we turn on blind eyes cause of the fake promises promised by the said Ponzi system.
  We have seen in some case where investors losses their money and the company gone to extinction, it on rare cases the money can be recovered and this can be done with the help of the higher authorities. Depends on how much was stolen. And even when the funds are recovered, I doubt if you will get the exact amount you paid in the initial, you will rather get a compensation claim. A lot of people have fall victim to this type of scam if you ask they hardly get their money back. In other not  to be an example to this scandal, we ought to do our own research before making any moves of investing. Like wise they are lots of opportunities online they are also some that will break us if not properly followed.

This is different from online investment; it's more like an investment where recruiters are seeking potential investors to join the program. And of course, these scammers will try to sell them on the business and, most importantly, the kind of rewards they'll offer to the investors. What saddens me is that even OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) who labor abroad to save money for their future fall victim to this type of investment.

Hopefully, those involved in these scams will be put behind bars, so future scammers will think twice when they see the government taking this issue seriously. Actually, this isn't the first time; there have been bigger scams before, if I'm not mistaken. Yet, there are still many people falling for these scams. It's as if they haven't learned from other people's mistakes or even their own.

This is similar to HYIP scams which still attract fools from around the world. Naive people get attracted to the idea of monthly/daily returns causing them to invest quickly without thinking twice only to regret it later on.

These scams will always run in some form or another since there will always be people chasing foolish get rich quick dreams.

I do not know how many times we are going to see a variation of the same kind of scam, and yet people do not learn and keep falling into it, scammers could literally openly claim to be scammers and people will still give them their money if enough promises about guaranteed profits were made.

People need to learn that anyone that could make 5% per month regardless of their starting capital will become very rich in a short time, so no one can offer those kind of profits while they are also an honest and upright person at the same time.

We can't see this to stop anytime soon since as long as there are still dumb people will believe that there easy way for them to became rich so quick then these scamming scheme will just continue to happen. To many people can easily get fooled by scammers flaunting their wealth online that's why they easily got caught up by wrong expectations and fall for many times again. Right now casino junkets is a hot topic since this is the main thing used by scammers to attract people and they show that they have legitimate then scam them when these scammers reached their billions threshold.

People need to learn that there's no legitimate institution that can give them passive 5% income monthly a legitimate business will offer that will fall down easily.

Also they need to know that casino is risky business to participate especially if they are not the one operating it, so they should ignore any investment ask by those people then promise a huge income since mostly that is just a scam.

I’m still confused what’s their main purpose but they are the one who partner with the casino to lure VIP players in the form luxurious offer such as accommodation and travel trips just to make them play in the casino.
Its legal partnerships work like an affiliate and benefit both parties and for the enjoyment of the player, only high rollers and VIPs can avail of this because its high cost of playing in casinos, the junket operator, will make things possible for the gamblers to play comfortably.

I also read that information about Yexel Sebastian and since he is a celebrity many believe that he will deliver what he promises because he has a reputation to protect but unfortunately when it comes many people will just throw away their reputation in the windows and it is unfortunate that many of his victims are OFW the money that they've earned were all wasted because of this scammer.

Clicking links online? It's like going through a minefield. You never know when you might walk on something explosive. Those tempting offers? They're everywhere! You said it best: not all glitters is gold. Genuine money is hard to get. No, no. It needs hard work and lots of risk

Ponzi schemes? They're the absolute worst. They hide behind betting and casinos. enormous, enormous trap. The red flags? Though they're waving in our face, we disregard them. Why? Due to bogus promises. Sad, truly sad

And when things go wrong? The cash is gone. Recovery? Extremely rare. Whatever you get back is never the same. Just a little compensation. Research, research, and more. That's the true key. Many internet opportunities exist, but also many pitfalls. Smart, really smart. Do your homework always

So, it is not always some kind of scam.... but just some off-the-book strategy to hook high rollers for the casino.  Roll Eyes

This offer was used to scam people, and it happened in the Philippines, with millions of pesos being scammed. The promise of a 5% monthly return is undeniably attractive, and on the surface, it doesn't appear overly suspicious, as even legitimate lending businesses can offer interest rates in the range of 5% to 10% on a monthly basis, which is reasonable. However, what's truly dubious about the scammers who defrauded numerous investors is their tendency to flaunt substantial profits.
They guaranteed their investors with 10% monthly interest and from there, it's already a sign of being a too good to be true offer. Banks do offer that percentage on an annual basis but these said junkets have been giving this away for their investors. But that's a total lie.

These scammers often entice people to entrust their investments, and unfortunately, the victims fail to see it as a red flag. Consequently, they end up losing a significant amount of money. Their lack of knowledge and, perhaps, their greediness have led them into this unfortunate situation.
They are giving the guarantee to trust them because they're trusted personalities but they all intended to do is all plan their swindling against these investors that have trusted them their hard earned money.

Everyone is trying so hard to survive one way or the other so I don't really blame these people they are just finding means to survive but all the same what is bad as no other name than it is bad I also read that this has been going on for a while now and some people I've been taken advantage of already.

These days it is a shame that people don't care where money is coming from as far as the offer is good they're ready to do it and wait for their payment the world is turning upside down honestly we are now in an era where what is bad is partially pent-up and presented as what it is good to get involved with, this is a scam, I don't see any other name I can call this strategy they are simply trapping people with good proposal.

Now that this has gotten to the 👂 of the authorities and law enforcement the multi-million dollar question is if they're going to get their money back I doubt that is going to happen even if they try maybe they can get some back but I'm sure they're not going to get everything back this will serve as an lesson to every other people in that country.

Because there's huge money involve here. Those scammers accumulate billions came from their investors that's why this is really serious problem that need to solve by authority right now. They make those casino junkets as proof of their running business and flexing their wealth to justify that they are successful and attract investors to put some money on the investment schemes they offer. To bad that this criminals already escape and now they are on other country so hopefully there's a case will be filed so that Interpol can intercept and put them on jail. This case will take long and now it catch a lot of attention on social media, many wait for case updates so hopefully next month there's development will happen and possible those scammers will get caught by authorities.

Investors often don't truly understand what they are investing in; they are often enticed by the promise of high returns. This isn't new; I've seen numerous scam stories in the Philippines involving significant amounts of money. I believe people need to be educated about these matters. Anything that seems too good to be true should give them pause before making hasty decisions.

I'm not sure what the government is doing to prevent this from happening again because it seems like it occurs regularly. Perhaps their measures aren't truly preventive, which is a problem.

User awareness is the strongest weapon that should be used in such situations as they say in Cybersecurity you can have a multi million dollar budget in Cyberdefense yet someone from finance department clicks on a link that offers free 1000 dollars in Amazon gift card and this defense is thrown to ashes.

As an analogy this should be also applied here,not user awareness but user education that there are tons of scams that don't do anything else for living except cheating people and as such people should be educated about such things and never take any risk without going into consulting with someone with better knowledge.

Yes, this is currently one of the most prominent news stories in the Philippines. This couple managed to amass hundreds of millions of pesos through their scam. They presented the casino junket as a legitimate operation, which, I believe, isn't in question. However, their activities, where they used the casino junket to attract investors despite not fully operating in the same way, raise a lot of red flags.

Here's the catch: when they offered a 5% monthly return, investors didn't seem to mind much about the inner workings of the business once they had invested. All they were concerned about was receiving that 5% interest income on a monthly basis. It's only when that income didn't materialize that they took action and filed a case against the individuals who had attracted them to invest. The big question now is whether the money can be recovered.
  This is why one has to be more careful when clicking links online, especially when the links has all this enticing offers, remember not all that glitter is gold. You might think oh yeah this is it, but you failed to put into consideration that money can’t be made easy. You have to go through risk and work to get to the reward. There are lot of Ponzi scheme companies hiding behind the name of betting or casino. We fall to this trap when we fail do our own research. Ignorance is a disease and can cause a lot of damage. There is always a red flag when you see a Ponzi scheme, but we turn on blind eyes cause of the fake promises promised by the said Ponzi system.
  We have seen in some case where investors losses their money and the company gone to extinction, it on rare cases the money can be recovered and this can be done with the help of the higher authorities. Depends on how much was stolen. And even when the funds are recovered, I doubt if you will get the exact amount you paid in the initial, you will rather get a compensation claim. A lot of people have fall victim to this type of scam if you ask they hardly get their money back. In other not  to be an example to this scandal, we ought to do our own research before making any moves of investing. Like wise they are lots of opportunities online they are also some that will break us if not properly followed.

So, it is not always some kind of scam.... but just some off-the-book strategy to hook high rollers for the casino.  Roll Eyes

This offer was used to scam people, and it happened in the Philippines, with millions of pesos being scammed. The promise of a 5% monthly return is undeniably attractive, and on the surface, it doesn't appear overly suspicious, as even legitimate lending businesses can offer interest rates in the range of 5% to 10% on a monthly basis, which is reasonable. However, what's truly dubious about the scammers who defrauded numerous investors is their tendency to flaunt substantial profits. These scammers often entice people to entrust their investments, and unfortunately, the victims fail to see it as a red flag. Consequently, they end up losing a significant amount of money. Their lack of knowledge and, perhaps, their greediness have led them into this unfortunate situation.
