- Scam books often operate against local laws or with invalid licenses. It is important to obviously check to see if your book is licensed, where it operates and to see if it playing players.

- Unrealistic deposit bonuses and reloads. Be wary of any deposit bonuses that are extremely high. Deposit bonuses of 80%, 100%, or 125% should be huge red flags.

- Many scam books will bend their own rules and may void winning bets for ridiculous reasons. This is especially true with future bets, they may offer higher odds on a certain future bets to get action but then not honor the wager if it wins.

I wonder how you do your research if a gambling site is scam or not?
I see the reviews the website of gambling from the gamblers who has played on there
usually many opinions and experience from other gamblers,
of course i will try play gambling with good review and usually I saw the bad or good review
from bitcointalk on gambling discussion.

There are a lot ways to analyse a gambling website as well some brand new project, but never risk before search, there are reputable websites soo why to risk into a new one? Some of the best gambling projects has a signature running here, doesnt mean they cant became scammer from one day to another.
Its not bad to test out a new site and we do habe really the free will on where and when we would play its either on new or old site and as you said we should really always search before to risk or put money into a newly built site.

That is right, as a gambler and a investor, we all need profits and earning or getting profit is the reason we go to investing and gambling om the first place (though I just gamble for fun but also expects to win at some points). We need to check or secure these site if they are really worthy or safe to put or stake your money on it, nobody wants to put there money to waste. They stake their money on gambling sites because they want to earn, not to let that be scammed.

Massive price drop coming...
I don't think you can really tell. Even if they fair they might not pay out a big win. It's best to go with gambling sites with a good reputation. This is not to say never give a new site a chance. Just don't spend big money at a new site. If you a high roller take it to a reputable casino.
The only thing you really have is their track record.
If a certain Bitcoin casino has been running for a couple of years without any scam reports on it, you can be pretty sure that they're not going to scam you.

Crypto-Games is a good example of that and I'm not just saying that because of my signature Wink Just research it yourself!
This is the only thing that i think that we can know the site if its legit or not checking their terms and faq if the site is new is not a good way to know because they can do it the same terms like other site..  so better to know if they have promotion like signature campaign and if they are longer alive here in forum.. that we can say they are legit..

I do not believe any reviews in addition to reviews of my friends. If someone plays for a long time and sometimes winning I can try. And then I never make big bets. In General, to protect yourself 100% from a Scam is not possible.

I wonder how you do your research if a gambling site is scam or not?

I usually try to search for some info here in the forum. Try to get some feedback from other users and their experiences, and I also look into ranking threads. If they have a decent amount of votes, then they will give me some confidence about a site.

I think those rankings threads are quite important, and that's the reason I created one for sportsbook sites.
Since we are talking about trust, I would like to ask for your help, by submitting your feedback about sports site, in this thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sports-book-rankings-completely-user-generated-1820529

I'm sure it will help other users make some research about sportsBook websites.

The only way you can truly do it with Bitcoin gambling is checking their provably fair mechanisms.  Any other judgement you make is solely based on their standing within the community, which is never completely reliable.
Yes, it is really simple really. You go on bitcointalk and ask people. We are so crowded here that I am almost certain there are some old accounts like hero members or legendary accounts who already gambled where you wanted to gamble, the casino probably even has a topic about it and you can check the comments.

For example recently a sportsbook had some minör issues and I know it because I read it here, not because I gambled there.

we can check in what other members said about one site or i think there is any website that specifically makes review of the site especially for gambling site, so it makes us easier to check if the site is trusted or not. but this is not always guarantee because i have experience that when i look into other members, they said the site is good, but its not good for me. i think we can get different experience from what we get compare with other people get in the same site.

From the site's interface has been able to believe it is scam or not, most of the gambling sites are good already have real certificate, and the one thing that can't be lied to is total volume of participants and payment mechanisms that are problematic or not, good gambling sites always take response quickly to any problem transactions.

I don`t how, I see what people talking about specific site, that is all. How else we can know is some site is scam or not, or will turn into? You don`t know something is a scam before it happens, I have positive experience with bitcoin gambling site and I go to sites where others had good experience also, I don`t have some special norms about this matter.

You absolutely positively have to do your own in depth research or you'll get burned. So many bitcoin gambling websites are scams it's ridiculous.

I'd suggest checking here obviously but also reddit and any other forum that you know real reviewers will be on. That's usually where you see the scam accusations and not anything close to their official websites, threads, or anything like that. Go with big websites only that have been around a long time and never assume that they didn't become a scam yesterday.

I think there is no need to have a vast research in finding the legit gambling website. Just go through the forum gambling section you can easily understand which gambling websites are legitimate in the service provided. Personally I believe most of the gambling websites accepting bitcoin looks legit.

Yeah there are plenty of scam busters throughout the forum. And as long as they will give an appropriate proof and it's accurate, it can be considered as a legit accusation and you can already avoid those gambling sites for doing and attempting scams to their players/investors. Not all the gambling sites are legit, there are some that are migrating and turns out to be a gambling site.

You may have a point there, but the thing about it is that, gamblers always want to taste or experience something new. They don't just do the same game everyday, they need to change gears sometimes, and that is a given, every gambler that wants to try a new site will never bet big on a new gambling site. Even I am not a good gambler, I can't just stake my own money, on a gambling site, without that experience, new business and still, on the way to prove its legitimacy. Gamblers, don't take words of the casino, but they take it when they do better services, just be smart and gamble smartly.

Actually, i am not searching about any gambling sites, Because i see a lot of gambling sites are here in signature campaigns, and these all are good for playing gambling, and i see everyone are trust on them. So why i need to search and waste time? Even i have not hear any wrong or scam about gambling sites. Only i see the gambling sites name and start to bet.
It is true some of legit gambling sites runs signature campaigns to advertise fast their site to gain players who will be promote soon when they won profit there. Players are anywhere so maybe you're the one who will not waste time for searching for the feedbacks and reputation about the website. All you want is to play and just earn from it.
the problem are not that easy , any online business always have lack of trust , of course you can not completely trust your money on strange random online site no matter how trustworthy they are building reputation for years , you should have a plan B .

whenever something worst happened , you have to take a prevention and don't go allin.

I guess we never need to worry about new gambling site when they are having active support through this forum.

But like you said, we should not take chances with big winning with the new sites because admin may take decisions to go with the big amount of bitcoins instead of maintaining their reputation in this forum. These are all just precautions, but when we are choosing always going with a reputed gambling site must be a better practice.
