By selecting the gambling site from the other members can avoid us to choose the scam gambling site because they already tried it and they have good experience with that site. So that will help us to stay away from the scam gambling site, and we don't have to worry about that such site. But you still be careful because we don't know how long the gambling site will still online and don't use too big money to play gambling.
^ I will also suggest those gambling sites that you may see or have been talked in this forum because most or probably all those sites are already proven and tried by the people here. It is not easy to determine if a gambling site is a legit one or a scam and if you wish to continue trying to play a new or different gambling site aside from the one that you have already proven to be legit then might as well do some research first about the site for scammers will never say that they do scam before doing criminal acts to their target. Nevertheless, you may also ask some friends, relatives, or someone you trusted about gambling sites that you can play safely.

It's always wise to pick gambling trusted sites that have good reputation and reviews.
If you choose something new always make the checks, everything that is available online like domain, owner, customer service etc. There are different online tools who can help you to check if the site is legit or not. Also, you can check the user experience on different forums.
If something, even a tiny bit looks suspicious to you, stay away and don't put your money there.

I think everyone should share the site they already know and know it's not a scam so people will enjoy it.
This is my favorite:https://bit.ly/3gk9CCg

Simple and easy, if you play and spend a little amount of funds then you win a higher than what you've bet, try to withdraw it, mostly, scam gambling sites doesn't allow players to withdraw winnings. (That's basically their purpose in scamming). That is the first step in verifying, but if you aren't willing to risk a small portion of your gambling fund, try to ask other players, how the platform performs, because right now, basing your judgement on the appearance and content of the site aren't really a good measure. Sometimes you need to try and see how they provide their services to tell if they are a scam or not.

First look at:

Where did the site come from? developers? brand / company
Is there a team - Who is the team?
Where did the team come from?
Have they have other functional and completed project?

Reputation - does the site have a comprehensive track record?

Its it transparent, can you see under the hood?

what technology are they using, eg. Are the incorporating Blockchain?

Check out - www.BITWIN24.com/es/  

 
just in case of reputation they should have their own thread here on the forum especially if they use blockchain technology and accept cryptocurrencies as a gambling bet. So here you will find the experiences of previous players who have tried to play on a crypto gambling site.

The thread is still wide open for replies and the question is obviously answerable by using common sense.

Anyways, you can easily determine a gambling site if it's a scam if the investment is too good to be true or really bad, one of the basics. Take some time to do some research to determine that all of the devs are legit and existing. In every platform that's existing on the internet, everyone can manipulate those identities and put some fake information on the platform, so you can catch those by searching, easy as that.

take time to read this, all of the basics are in there.

I don't really know now, it doesn't mean that they are paying for a while, they are legit, maybe if it exists for a long time? Recently I found a gambling site I knew last year that is working well they even have a Signature thread here on bitcointalk and they are paying but now suddenly they stop the service and many users are saying they can't withdraw their funds I don't know if they are turned scam or what I am waiting for accusation thread if someone does.

Any site can turn into scam, even one that has worked for many years and consistently paid a profit to its users.
Nevertheless, long-term existence will be one of the most important and significant criteria in determining whether a site is a scam or not.

Another important factor will be how much the site’s domain has been paid, because as a rule scammers try to save on their costs and buy domains with a very limited validity period.
Of course, reviews are also one of the components that will help to understand what is happening with the platform, what problems exist, how things are going.
The less the number of negative reviews, the higher the likelihood that the site will still work for a while.

That's right, the long-term presence of gambling sites does not guarantee that they will continue to be trusted sites. The fact that people's minds can change at any time like a quote "crime occurs not only because there is the intention of the culprit, but because there is an opportunity" so therefore beware.

For me, a very trusted site is a site that displays the address of a real office or team, because that's a site that has professionalism.

As I belong to the SEO industry I can verify this that any site and any service can purchase fake reviews for themselves, and many times these fake reviews will come from verified profiles too. Instead of searching on the internet I would suggest you’ll to start a discussion thread out here, as this forum is the home to many active gamblers and they’ll be happy to share their honest reviews with you.

This is right, in internet money talks, and it's easy to buy fake reviews... That's why is important to make full research about the site before making a depo. If you can find a lot of information about the site then is better to stay away from it. The best option is to play in old trusted sites.

That is right. We don't know for sure. I agree that we can use this forum to know which site that have reputations and which site that is trying to scam people, and we can find that site by review from the members. Members here can help us to find the gambling site, and they will recommend the site, so we don't have to afraid of scams. Besides that, sometimes, the gambling site which has reputations will give offers to their members, and that is to invite more gamblers to come to their website.
Of course there also should be a customer support system to assist gamblers whenever they have an issue with the site. From simple errors like depositing and withdrawing to the more complex issues like hacking and rigging. There should be a customer support to listen to the people they serve. Otherwise no matter how "established" this site is, it's doomed to fall.

The customer support system is a must thing on any website, not just in gambling, so if the gambling site has a good support system, the members who have a problem will not confuse about solving their problem. They will have a place to ask about their issue, and they can get helped in a short time. The member will feel comfortable with good customer support systems because they don't have to wait too long to see the support teams will solve their case.

Look for reviews and ratings, if there aren't enough reviews then you should be worried.
Opinion from others really matters. It is either they have experienced something first hand or someone told them so. Especially when you don't have knowledge about something you should need to gather information. Information in the internet is massive, you could draw your conclusion easily, especially when reviews and ratings all say the same things.

Beware of fake reviews and ratings, nowadays scam casinos can do anything they want to attract people.
One example is that they can pay a review website, or pay some people to make a good review of their site. It is still happening till this day where there are some sites which has very bad reputation in this forum but the sites are considered as one of the best sites on the review websites.
Gathering information is indeed good thing to do, but we should not rely on reviews and ratings only. Make sure that the reviews and ratings are honest.

Hey there, in my opinion there are many measures one can use to determine quickly if a site is legit or not. Some of my favourites are how big is their community, is what they offer too good to be true, what do you get when you Google their brand name, do they seem professional, do they say guarantee winning etc. especially, with the latter if that's clearly put in red or something flashy then that's almost always not legit and you have to be careful.
Asking opinions from its community can help us to have information about specific gambling sites. We should always open our ears for the information in the internet. We should also have a research skills in order to identify what is a legit gambling site or a scam gambling sites. Lack of knowledge can lead to scammed by those greedy persons out there so we should have enough knowledge on the gambling sites that we will use.

For now Im playing to the gambling sites who are already operate since last few year and upto this now and have a lot of good feedbacks here in this forum.
New gambling sites offer free giveaway or bonus for the players register but the other technique is they give big bonus which is really not true for sure and they want for you to deposit money first before you withdraw your money and once you do that you cannot withdraw for sure. Mostly new gambling site are turn into scam so be careful before you play.
Yes this is what I always thinking before depositing in an online casinos. I give more trust to the casinos that are well knowned , and being operated for the past years but it is not only my basis , I also looking for their website security as well, i need to be sure that they has a good website security and anti DDOS website, that could be one of the main problem.

~snip
But nowadays, there are websites that are secured but are still a scam. Second thing that you can do is you should do research about the website. Look for reviews and ratings, if there aren't enough reviews then you should be worried.
Yep! Check their website, just type their website name it could be too easy to put their names in the search engine and you may found out if they are having a bad reviews and accusations as well, if they have? Then don't play there.
That's a great idea we should make research about games and find a good website for it. Working on a good kind of research is actually required for getting gambling profit. There are so many scamming sites that we should make proper research and know about the reality of the website. There are so many YouTube channels from where we can get help in this regard.
