Forgot to mention you can also check some verification site, or some verification logo and with that verify from a specific verification company.
Just like a protection shield.

I've seen gambling sites before that are rigged to make you win really expensive skins but then make you deposit to withdraw, of course you don't get anything back once you give them your skins..so be careful.
I have experienced a great loss in one of the gaming sites.Now I've stopped trusting these kind of gambling sites.Now there's a great platform called Hostgames that has come up.It's a very promising project.

It is funny to not trusting gambling sites just because you lost too much money. There are many other important aspects to be used such as provably fair system, reputation, etc to decide whether or not you trust the site.
If you stop trusting gambling sites because you lose your money, then simply dont even ever gamble.
It seems that you try to encourage people to leave gambling in bitcoin casinos and move to the project you are talking about. Once the project alive and you are able to gamble your money on it but unluckily you lose your money. What will you say? Not trusting them as well?

Winning and losing is just the part of game but when you bet huge amount you lost it but it doesn't mean the gambling site cheated on you,you just becomes over greedy and lost your mind then bet huge amount but if you realize that you are in serious loss then it is a good thing for a gambler and his future.

How do you know if the gambling site is a scam or not? how you trust a gambling site for you credit card and know its not a scam?

I don't believe in gambling websites these days.Most of them are fraud.I have lost lot of my money in these sites.I'm switching to this new platform called Hostgames which's very promising for gambling enthusiasts.
Not all of them are fraud or scam, there are some good gambling sites too out there and praised by the community. That's why before i deposit your coins/money, try to search the gambling site first, is it scam or not.

yes, indeed. there are many gambling sites that are legit and recommended. you can try to search gambling sites, try to deposit with a small amount, playing some games and you can win the money, try to withdraw the money. and if this is works for you and you can do over and over then the gambling site is not a scam although this is not always guaranteed, at least, you can deposit and withdraw the money without any problem.
Why deposit and then withdraw just to check if they are a scam, though? Research the gambling site that you're about to play to. Look up reddit threads about them. Look up bitcointalk threads of them. I suggest that you guys only gamble in the most trusted gambling sites. Be aware of the date the articles you're reading have been posting. Look for the most recent ones. It may be advisable to gamble in sites that have an ongoing signature campaign in our forum. That way, when you encounter any problems, you can easily reach out to them and they will try to fix it ASAP as they don't want to ruin their reputation in this place.

To the guy about to switch to using Hostgames, I don't really recommend doing so only because it's new. Gambling is gambling and it doesn't really matter which platform you bet on. What matters is the service that they are offering you so you're better off betting on old platforms that have good reputation. And looking at their website, they don't seem to be ready. At the bottom, you can see that their Whitepaper is "Coming soon". It says a lot about them since they don't have something that even scam ICOs have, a complete and well-written whitepaper.

Take a look what other people say about it, where they hangout and what kind experience they have, that is the best way to know is some gambling site scam or not. If many people play on some site and they have positive experience then it will he good for you too. Casino will not risk good reputation to scam one little player,  you can relax and follow others who probably risk more money then you do. This forum is the best place for that, you can check out many casino's, you can see who plays there and their experience, and maybe the best thing is that you can talk with each of us, send some PM and we will respond, something like 24/7 friend support.

I'd say that there is no other way to check whether a gambling site is a scam or not, you can just follow what is said in the quoted post above. Only I would exclude sending PMs. The thing is that reputable members of the forum are too busy to respond to every PM sent by strangers, and, in addition, you can be misinformed communicating via PM more easily than when you do it openly on the forum. That's what the forum is for, you can see the reaction of others on what someone is suggesting you.

Go through the scams and accusations section here on bitcointalk itself. Read out some reviews there. There will always be one or two scams so don't judge hurriedly generally just 4-5 scams and accusations aren't bad because there are always a few people who feel cheated. check the problems which they faced.

After reading experiences of other I people try out with a very small amount Instead of moving all your money at once. Steadily increase whole money until you are sure and confident that the site is flawless.

Yeah most of casinos operating online will protect thier reputation they don't want to blemish thier reputations because online casino is a game of trust, who will patronize thier online game if they are not trustworthy. Thats why many online who proliferate because people trust.

First thing you will do is you must research first about information regarding to gambling sites, so that you may know or any idea if that gambling sites are really is not scam. Maybe you may ask to the other people some opinion about on gambling sites. I think this is the best way you can do and its a big help to you, check first those gambling sites so that you will never scam and you must aware if this is a scam or not.

You can't know anything for sure but you definitely can have an idea just by searching a little bit, If you can't find anything about the service then It means that the service is new and you shouldn't take risks unless It's tested and used by multiple people, the website design could tell how much effort the owners put on the site as well, usually, scams don't take the trouble to make a good product because they are only here for a small amount of time and they will take whatever they get their hands on etc.

If you find yourself unsure wether the service is legit or not, then you should open a thread on the forums asking about it and wait for answers, and In the same time, people who will look up for the service after a while will find your thread and It will be helpful for them.
Well for me the best thing that you can do to avoid scammer in gambling, was to do a research about the site that you want to play with. Then, after doing a research you can try it with a little amount. Dont use a huge amount, in trying because you would never know if it will success or fail. But if you already tested it , then you can now use huge amount in playing.

Honestly, on my part its not easy to know if the gambling the site is a scam or not. Well, in that case I just research and gaining enough knowledge to know it. Also, I ask to my friends and those experts to know if the site is a scam which as I know as of this that the scammers are rampant in the social media.
Yes it's hard to define if the gambling site's was scam or not, especially now bitcoin now are in demand in the market more of them are want to earn immediately that's why they were joining in gambling.

However, joining in gambling is not advisable because it easy to earn but it is also easy to lose in gambling.

When they not pay you then that is scam but you can see only in that and in some scam history about them so better to do is register another account everytime you know a new gambling site to avoid scam or phising,Moreover i think there's a lot of gambling site that's already trusted so better to play there then listen in the veterans here in forum so you always have second though about the new site.

Before your joined on the gambling site, it is better to find a lot of informations
if you found a negatif feedback by member or user, I think that it is good choice to stay away from the gamblling site that
Good indications but we do need to see the the ratio between negative and positive. If we do see there are more positive feedbacks compared to negative one then its still a good site to play on because a gambling site would normally experience problems which cant really be avoided thats why there are several negative feedbacks. All check out these things because this is the most important.
Plus when the site is scammed, it will definitely be reported here at forum, triy to read or check casino's background and feedbacks on this forum and you'll definitely see by yourself which of which should you trust.

but if you cannot find any reviews from here then you need to search for other websites because sometimes people not giving their reviews in here. it is better that we can collect much of info about that gambling so we can decide to join or not and we can avoid if the site is really a scam.
As long you do have an internet it would really be just a common sense thing for you to search up things since we do really concerned about the legitimacy of a certain gambling site.All of us dont want to lose up money because of scam sites but yet there are still people who are dumb and do risk on playing on sites which are shady and later on they do cry why they are being scammed.
It’s totally impossible that you wouldn’t find any review on a gambling website because are greedy but not as much as one thinks. People like to give reviews on such a websites because if they have done well in developing their app, then it’s a good thing to leave a five star review for them because they deserve it as they have done a lot of programming on it and if the case is opposite, people definitely leave a bad comment because there a millions of people on such sites.

I agree dude, its really impossible that you can't find out if that gambling site is scam or not. Though, you need to have some enough time to investigate that kind of gambling site. Do some research and know the details of that site ,for sure you know if it is legit or not. Most here in the cyberworld has a lot of malicious things, they do as much as they can with there own gifted skills in order to do such bad things to have money. Hopefully to those people playing gambling site should be observant and censorious to avoid the scammers around here in social media.
Yes i agree, but I think the only person could only hard to figure out which gambling site is not scam or scam are those person were just first timer in online betting and if ever they will scam it can be considered as charged of their experience. But if  a gambler really addict on online betting let we says expert on it, are the  person that can easily to find out whether the site's scam or not.

Each of us should be observant enough like if the site you've been opened will asked your private informations like your password or private key which looks like suspicious site ,you should not give it. Also, if some in the screen of your computer having a suspicious link or will pop up don't ever click because it might access on your account directly. For more information to know the site if it is a legit or not try to ask those experts or to those have enough knowledge in computers.
I think the tricks you are talking about are a little bit old fashioned. Isn’t it? I think people are well aware about these things that no one will register for that website if they will ask you question on your privacy. Now, the tricks have also advanced.

They will let you play and register for free but as the time will pass, when they will come to know that you are becoming a regular visitor, they will close your account and ask for depositing some amount to unlock it which you barely will.

Also, I ask to my friends and those experts to know if the site is a scam which as I know as of this that the scammers are rampant in the social media.
You can use search engines to know if that casino is a scam or not. You can see reviews there and let yourself know and read the experience of other gamblers on that certain gambling site. Also here in forum we got gambling section where ANN thread's of different crypto gambling sites are established and you can read people's review there and comments on how that site is running.

That is correct, a quick google search of the site would reveal a lot of about the site and then you can decide whether the site you are looking at is worth playing on. But really, there is still a lot more than just googling the site, there is still a lot to do, like research whether their random number generation is provably fair or whether the operators are publicly listed so you know where to file a case just in case. Basically, you have to do your own due diligence before you even play on the casino.
Sometimes visiting their site as well as trying out to play on it even a short time can be a big help for us to determine it by our own experience, some sites were too laggy, others were too late on sending transaction, better google top 5 or top 3 best casino from this forum. And try one at a time, you'll probably notice what suits your interests first especially in terms on winning process.
That's the easiest way of looking for reviews if you are very skeptic about the casino you are gambling with. And I agree to both of you, we do have to try it out if the games itself are running well and as a gambler you will feel and know what it means to say if it's a scam or not. Those new gamblers that are literally new to bitcoin/crypto gambling will be having their hardship on determining which one is but in the end they'll know it as easy as picking one.
