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.

I'm surprised that he did not even remember the name, you always remember people who scam or do you harm, I guess he is not active in this forum or any forum about gambling and cryptocurrency, because he is not aware of this kind of scam, it's a lesson learned, tell your friend to browse here from time to time.

What I don't understand is that he can't even remember the name of the site?

I'm a bit curious why? If you will be putting money into a site that you can't even remember the name of it? What happens if that is a legit site and accidentally delete your browser's history? What now? I think that is a problem, you see we don't just put money into some site that we don't know of. Another thing is that you and your friend can prevent someone from being scammed again by this site. Your friend may be a rich person to waste that $200 but I think he is a stupid person, please guide him.

I usually just google the name and try to find discussions about the said service. However there could be bots or payed people who shill the said service, so you need to be mindful of that as well.
Google is your best friend yet again! Wink
I don't usually trust the search of engine google since I was heard that Google tolerate having ads scammy website, in short, I don't trust Google search directly. Sad to know that the friend of OP was scammed which he found on Google. I don't understand instead of viewing gambling site on Google why not here in the forum you'll be totally safe in here in choosing the gambling site which is all of them are legit and have a long term in service. Next time choose a gambling site here is very safe even you've deposited millions of dollars that safe as long as you that gambling site were having ads here.

That's pretty much the very least everyone should do in ANY service or website in which you put your money it. For example, crypto exchanges.

Googling isn't even a good way to source for trusted sites. He should have at least gone through the site review on reputable review sites..
Bitcointalk would have been best for him but not everyone knows about the forum
The best way to get a trusted gambling site to me is through this forum.  We are seeing many comments and review about any online gambling here than any reviews sites online.  I will encourage us to always see what people are saying here about a particular sites a review also.

Forum is a legitimate way to get the sites reviews and advices as well which will help in Knowing the  difference between the trusted and non trusted sites and also helps in staying away from scam and other issues which Can impact you
A couple numbers of gambling sites had been listed in a thread in this forum, a visit to that thread would  have aborted or prevented his loss.
A lots of reviews and comment had been made by regular gamblers here,  however this is wake up call to newbies to watch out and avoid being scam by so-called gambling sites who defraud unsuspecting newbies with juicy packages or returns.
 Yeah there are so many scammer and we will have to avoid them if we want to make money and want to be good gambler, as there are so many regular and they have long experience so they should learn from them, for new gamblers it is advisable to research about the site they have decided to gamble with, better avoid trying new websites.

It is strange that your friend has lost in scam gambling site and he forget the name of it. How could it possible?
And also it is more strange thing that your friend deposit $200 without any thinks that it is trust-able site or not, so it is clearly your friend mistake that he did it.
Otherwise you could see a lot of gambling sites are working in this forum, and all are trust-able. So now you have come in this forum, so tell your friend if he wanna play again then come in the forum and join these gambling sites.  
I doubt that his friend wont tend to play gambling anymore unless if he do still have some money to spare with gambling then he might consider to play once again.This forum itself is a good place on looking up for good casinos/gambling sites but still be careful with unknown or new ones.You would still able to see since most members here do give out feedback specially on new ones and thats already a good reference for you as a new gambler or user.

The fault was totally belongs to your friend why playing at the casinos which don't have reputation and when decide to play at the particular casinos it should not be done with rush because research is necessary to ensure playing at legit casinos and don't ever tempting for big bonus if the casinos which offering those bonus brand newbie of have no reputation because possibly they will attempts to scamming people
Actually that’s what I am thinking also,with hundreds of gambling sites in this forum (or maybe thousand) he’s friend gamble and risk to that scam site?sounds more stupid mate

And you’re also correct on what you’ve said about researching first before betting and risk your precious money and time also
Normally people take time to understand the difference between a good and a bad casino. One should be responsible for one’s own acts and should never point at others for their losses because when you are in the gambling arena, it is assumed that you are very wise. And a wise man will find the best gambling site. There are so many over the internet and you can know about them if you try to give it a search. Try not to be part of the sites that has a KYC.

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.

Probably his friends mind is invaded by greed.  Scam sites often times offer a too good to be true deal.  Like depositing x amount of money then giving it a bonus of y times the amount and just need a few times roll and he can withdraw his money including the bonus.  Review does not work that much since mostly scam sites are prefer for this.  They will get their accomplice to put a deceiving perfect review on their website and praise that scam gambling site.

I agree to check the review on other platform not just that websites platform because it will be full of censorship for sure.
We can’t assume is  greed. Not everyone is greedy to lose money in gambling; at times it could be a mistake. It’s possible that his friend didn’t even take note of the site his opening or he just clicked on a site mistakenly. There are so many scam sites out there and I have been a victim, so I can tell that not all loses are due to greed, although I know perfectly that greed is a problem that causes most losses in gambling.

My suggestion is for everyone to always go through reviews before gambling on a site, don’t be too convinced that a site is genuine because of the bonus offers or whatsoever they have to offer. It is also important to be careful while browsing through the internet, to avoid clicking on wrong sites.

That’s mostly the problems; most people will just hurry to play on sites that offer huge bonuses without proper investigation. I have made these mistakes in my early years of gambling and I have really learnt from my mistakes. Its not worth it to lose money out of impatience. $200 might be small to his friend but there are a lot of people who work so hard to get this money.

Personally I don’t gamble in an unknown site, I do my proper research before gambling and from study it seems like most known sites are always more reputable and trustworthy. My first scam experience with a gambling site was a new site, I crashed after sometime and my friends told me that it is very common with new gambling sites.

Only newbies and their greediness falls to this kind of scam,

not just newbies but also veteran and pro users do also fall for this kind of scheme's and greed or the eagerness to earn is what drive's them to do those things .

if the gambling site is very popular, they will never risk their reputation by scamming people, only new gambling sites do such thing,

alot of reputable gambling sites and other kind of websites that are reputable and have been running for a long time but they still do scams  . they are willing to risk everything including thier reputation just to earn a good quick profits  .

dumb gambler or not , we are still facing a risk everytime we gamble and its literally called a gamble , once we put our funds online .

I don't know who your friend is but whoever he is, he must be very dumb. How can you be clicking on something you know nothing about? this is no longer a new thing. There are scammer a every where and they are the same in the cryptocurrency community, there are lots of scammer here and there and any simple mistake you make means that your money is gone once and for all and you won't be able to recover it, cause there is nothing like reversing a money that has been sent through crypto. There are lots of legit sites that he can gamble on, he should have asked the forum if he doesn't know which one to choose.

I refuse to play on many new gambling site because of afraid from being scammed, so I just want to play on the trusted site for years now which gives me more confident to play. Gamblers should not think for any rewards at first, you need to know the gambling site if its legit or not. Don't ever forget where is your money, you have to monitor it.

None of these crypto gambling sites are entirely safe.  If you want safe gambling go to a regular casino in real life that has many laws that they have to follow.  There is just too much risk to gamble with crypto online.
I don’t understand crypto casino sites anymore, its either they are requesting for KYC or some or just some other things that makes one want to doubt its security. But that does not mean there are still no very good gambling sites. As a matter of fact, I know a lot of them on this Bitcoin forum, the best thing is just to do a proper study and read review on each of them before gambling.

For me, online gambling might not be entirely safe but it is still better than real life gambling. Nothing compared too staying at the comfort of your home to play games, no stress, no hassle. And in offline casino, one can win and be scared of going home for the fear of being robbed.

I don't think that kind of things can happen to any of us because we do not search the internet or Google for Bitcoin-related questions instead this forum is the resource dump for all the crypto related questions. You can easily find a lot of gambling site and about the reviews and many more things so you can get a solid understanding of the casino before even entering the site.
It can actually still happen to some people especially those who are new to BF, either as a member of BF or non-member. I understand that all information’s regarding Gambling is here on the forum but there are times we want to make more research and in the process one can fall into scam sites. There are just times we need something new and different from the regular, so we do more research and one can only hope not to make mistake in choosing a site during that period.

For me, I don’t think I can ever make that type of mistake, not when I am aware of all the crypto sites here and I can ask questions and see reviews on each of the site.
