Luckily it's really easy to avoid getting scammed, usually you can just spot the scammy websites from a mile away.
If a gambling website offers instant withdraws and you actually have proof that it's a trusted website, then you can be pretty sure you won't get scammed.
That's why I typically only play on casinos that will automatically send any withdraws to my wallet.

After i post this topic i ask my friend if he could check his browser history. He then tell me that he was browsing illegally in his office, Its still office hours and its prohibited thats why he uses the incognito tab. He then said he remembered one word which is dice and the color of the button is yellow. Im sorry i cant tell the site but neither i didnt know. Im just telling this to be a lesson so that future first time gamblers wont do the mistake again.
Scam sites are scattered everywhere here in the world of internet and just like what the OP has mentioned avoid to click some random links that looks suspicious and unfamiliar. Think before you click, and remember that just use a small amount of fund for your first try to avoid losing a losing all of your money. Besides, you can ask for some tips here in the forum on where to play or maybe you could look here in this forum because actually there's quite a lot of casino in here, for example, Vegascasino where I used to play, don't worry it is a reliable one. In fact, it has live dealers so you can sure that there will be no anomaly in here and just like most of the players want which is bonuses is quite a lot.
My friend recently get scammed by a gambling site which he found by continuously browsing. On internet. Sorry but even he cant remember the name so i cant tell you but here's what you wouldnt do. He said he was searching about how cryptocurrency gambling work. He is much aware about bitcoin but not about using it for gambling. He find some "yellow botton" he said which offers gambling for newbies and the rest is history. Goodbye $200 . yes thats kinda bit small but should you wait that it happened to you with a bigger amount? Here's what you would do.
1. Dont click and browse non recognized site to avoid phishing.
2.. Always ask first the people on this forum whether the site is legit or not.
3. Dont put too much money on that site so if ever its really a scam, the amount it can get is minimal.
4. If it looks really legit, try some few games with few bets at first.
Being cautious costs less than not being aware at all. Dont let our greediness and dumbness takes over our financial life. Be safe people.

How can your friend not remember the sites name?, he can always check it by going in the history tab of his device and find the sites name. Why have you have skipped the information about how did he loose those $200, did he loose it on a bet or he won and the site refused to pay him?. I feel you should invite your friend to the forum, so he can pick a reputable casino for himself which won’t scam him.
Seriously? he forgot the site that scammed him? As you've mentioned, he is much aware of btc but doesn't aware of scam? I, myself discover freebitcoin first and then later on primedice before getting into the forum. I was in ptc before, so before putting effort in a site, i'm searching about the site if it's scam site or not.

I believe that the first bullet point covers all the above.
Every gambler should be cautious and play only on websites that are known and there are written reviews here in bitcointalk with user experience from other gamblers. Otherwise, it is very risky to gamble your money there.

"Yellow button"?What yellow button?He must have been searching for some magic button that will offer him endless gambling profits for a single mouseclick.Cryptocurrency gambling isn't rocket science,you must be a total retard to not know how I crypto casino works.Due dilligence about casinos(reviews,complains,scam allerts)is always important before we spend our money to gamble.
It's your friend fault then, randomly gamble on random gambling site from google and not searching or review first lol.
Talk to him, don't always trust whatever come from google result lol. It's not always safe, rip $200. There are so many online gambling, so be careful folks!

Ignoramus was the case of your friend as clearly see through your write up. How could he forget the website which cheated or scammed her/him? Personally, wouldn't have done such a thing because, is better to check on the platform you are gambling before proceeding to gamble. Advise: let him/her visit the Beginners section to find some reasonable articles for guild to avoid this next time. Sorry!!!!.
I guess he is not read any reviews from many websites and he directly sent his money to that gambling site. Unfortunately, he sends a big amount of money and suddenly, he lost all of them. Yes, as the other said, that is your friend mistake because he is not investigating the site before he played and only sent the money without make sure that the site is recommended or not.
If he said that, then I don't think that he will spend $200 easily to the site because I am sure that there is a review about that site and he will know if that site has a good reputation or not. But now, all of his money is gone, nothing to regret but next time, telling him not to make the same mistake and stay away from the unknown website for saving his money from scamming.

There are scammers, we should know that.
It's basic to be careful to avoid being scam, phishing is one of the biggest threat for newbie, however we can prevent this if we will use 2FA on our accounts. Most of the gambling sites I'm currently playing are good sites, but I still add more security by putting 2FA in my accounts, just like I treat my exchange accounts.
We must have a vigilant on these scammers because the time to time they are now getting smarter than before. It must be double our security settings to avoid this possible phishing links. However, those people who fooled by scammers are newbie and noobs which is having pure greed. So, we must be careful about clicking links just to have a safe account.

If your friend knew about BTC and had manage to n some of it then your friend isn't new to the internet, its going to be surprising for someone who will be scammed easily with such scheme. Phishing has been arund since the time paypal started and its more than 20 years ago, anyone still login to a page that has to have high level of security must be double checked.

You should always do some google/bing/yahoo searchers before investing in anything!
Its alot of scammers out there and in the crypto sphere its even more!
And why go to a unknown random site instead of using all the legit once out there its not that hard to find legit once they are everywhere.
Always protect your capital , always!
It's definitely your friend's fault in this situation because it doesn't matter if you are an old gambler or you've never gambled in your entire life with bitcoin, you always check the reputation of the website where you are about to deposit 200$. You can't just go around the internet and click on a random website and then deposit your money there just because you like how the website looks. You always make some research, even if you do it for only 5 minutes because it doesn't take much to find out if a website is scam or not.
Did he put 200 dollars in a site he doesn't even know the name? Or his computer was invaded? Crypto space is too dangerous, especially if you are randomly searching for crypto sites on google, there is all the kinds of scams there.
Besides checking a site reputation on this forum, check for feedbacks in other places too, also there are many monitoring sites to check other sites legitimacy.

I came to a nice looking dice site called megadice through some blogs and deposited there without a second thought. After It didn't showed up my balance, I realized it already has many red flags all around the forum and the internet. If only I had cared to google once, I would have been saved.
Honestly, while reading the story, it made me read as if I'm panting and quick in reading. Your friend did it wrong, he can't remember the name of the site, much better if he can so others will be informed and warned. So this what happened, your friend as for clicking that button he was instructed to deposit $200 to the address? your friend learned a lesson with that amount and he'll definitely do that again. Don't deposit or send any amount to a random casino or even to someone.
How can he forget the name of the site, to where he send bitcoins and later got scammed? if he has sent crypto, he can look in his browser history and see what site he was browsing that day, he did the deposit.
This story sound stranges.
But I agree with you, always see what other users say about the gambling site you want to send money and then deposit a small amount, and see how the withdraw works before you deposit bigger amounts, and always remember gambling is something we do to have fun, be prepared to lose it all.

We don't know if hes being scammed totally yet forgetting the site which do scams you is really impossible yet this would tied up on your
mind for sometime which basically remembering the name of it.Its impossible to think to forget it directly.Am I right?
Asking out first into the community wont really cost an arm and leg but people do still fail on following this basic thing.

If he cant access the site and he cant withdrew his balance then he have been totally scammed and there is no other way to recover his funds .the bad part is that he forgot the sites name but that should be find out on his browsers history not unless if he is using incognito mode that time .this should be a lesson to him that not to trust easily especially if a site is new and dont have a reputation yet
