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?
1. Check for that site in this forum and if you can't find any scam accusations against them or any other issues  than you can play there. Also don't forget to look at all terms and condition including wagering requirement for any bonus offers they have.

2. Play only in casino that accept bitcoin and don't have any KYC policy so that you don't have to give any of your personal details including your credit card details.


Their are certain big sites or successfull site who got scam accusation since their are butthurt gamblers who lose and file nonsense accusation to get revenge on their own foolishness.

And to spot a scam casino well much better if you see the site first if they've got decent and true promotion aswell as if their site is not build from scratch nor made of cheap,free doimain or rebooted sites.

Actually you can't know if this site is scam or not, you either have to trust them and then see if they scammed you or not, or you can try to read reviews about that gambling site online. You can read more here if you're interested about small signs of scam site https://www.bitcoinsportsbooks.com/scam-warnings/

If you are really worried to lose your money, i think you shouldn't try new sites, just play in ones that everyone knows that are legit, and you ill be fine.

maybe it is just me but i actually don't trust what i read on a website when it comes to trust and security related stuff. because a website is owned by one person and that one person can get paid to post anything that pays more (we are seeing this clearly with news sites these days).

instead i prefer reading feedback about any service (not only casinos) on public forums that anybody can comment. that way you can't hide anything.

First of all you could never know but there are some actions you can do before you sign up and deposit balance. Do some research about the site and ask yourself the following questions. Are there any scam accusations already? How long does the site already exist? Is it a new one or an established one. Does the site provide information about algorithms (especially for dice sites)? How long does it take to withdraw balance? Is it processed immediately or does it needs a manual processing which usually takes some hours?

Thanks to bitcoin you don’t need to give your credit card information or details about your identity anymore to any casino that is one of the great things that bitcoin has allowed us to have, so fortunately you don’t have to worry about it in this day and age.

Yes, but still it's not advisable to deposit your BTC on any site which is not whitelisted by the community of gamblers first. Depositing on a new site is a big risk and since there are many established ones it's better to use them rather than new ones.

Well I just search for user input here in the forum. If a site is well known here, and has no scam accusations, and users give them good rates and feedback, that should be a good indicator that it's trustworthy. Of course that anything could still happen, so I usually don't put to much coins on it as well.
The best thing do to ascertain if a gambling site is scam or not is through reading some articles and forum regarding to that site. I also tend to check when that gambling site was built and how active it is. I don't look if a gambling site is attractive or it's kinda relaxing to play but I always tend to play in a gambling site which has a good review and easy to play.

Read some thread on Bitcointalk. Read some reviews on google too. However, google are not trustful because some website are paid to write good thing about scamming casinos. And you should learn to protect yourself first when you join this cyber world. The best way (in my opinion) is to ask for information from members from this forum. They are reliable and you can trust them

yeah exactly, but usually I just look at her nice or not display the site itself, if of the view is not good usually I will not continue to go deeper. but if from the look of the site is not good but already well-known in the bitcointalk forum, I will be comfortable to go deeper.

those famous casino here in bitcointalk were really used by many and with a lots of supporters or users. I think they were reliable enough to continue their works protecting their established trust rating by their users. I don't they planned to scam knowing how people supports them now, I know there were polls for casinos and we might see often their signature here in bitcointalk.

Well if you are a newbie or a first timer in a particular gambling site it will be a bit difficult or you to identify if the gambling site is full of scam perpetrator and culprit who happens to be a mastermind of this gambling website have already analyzed and studied thre scam website to be a similar like a real gambling website so it would take time for a viewer or players to figure it out the scam on going to a scam gambling website.

You can never know if a site is trusted or not. Many gambling sites pay out the winning bets in the first few months and then turn scam taking a huge amount. Dadice was one example that even had a signature campaign and was considered trustworthy for months but they suddenly closed their services. Primedice is one such site that has been paying out since years and can be considered trustworthy while sportsbet.io is also another trustworthy website. You should never pay via your credit card on such sites and only use bitcoin payment methods.

There are indications that a gambling site is probably  scam.  You can check their software if it is licensed.  Or their games is provably fair, if it is not then most probably it is a scam gambling site.  Aside from that you can also check the support or contact information. 

There was a gambling site that was provably fair but they were changing the bet results for mostly high betting amounts and one user caught this scam after a long time. Till then, they kept working as a genuine gambling site and this attempt was a shocking proof of how any site can change the results.

I remember betcoin.tm also being caught in a similar scam.

We Cannot know If the gambling site is a scam or not? Try it first Or read reviews or comments In the site or search In the internet search the site if the site is not scam they you should go the site.. I just know when a gambling site is a scam when they do not pay their players but I trust the gambling site when I see proofs that they are paying or have paid their players on the given time frame.
Yeah and the best way for me that I use to decide if a site is trusted or not is that I visit that particular site's thread here and if the owner has no poor comments on his trust page then usually there are no issues.

The feedbacks here define a lot, take example of PD they have no poor feedbacks while Dirctbet have some feedbacks about aggressive advertising which is indeed true though they are legit as fuck !

Yes that should be the first thing to do. Try to read. Problem is they are just too lazy to read and browse the comments.
Look for somebody that is trusted here and if he says its legit then why not try. Though it doesn't really tell how it could end up it is a good start.
Well, you are gambling and taking a risk so that will happen most of the time.

Check the announcement thread of these gambling sites to see if they are scamming other players or not. Search some reviews/scam accusations about the gambling site. Before using a credit card triple check or just use another payment method because I already saw some people complaining about getting charged for different transactions.

So much scam operation nowadays like having hidden TOS, asking Verification ID, etc. You need to search that information to know which site is good to play with good support and easy to withdraw without any requirements to do.
It's not really hidden, most gamblers just register and play right away without reading the terms and conditions of the casino.

Well most of the time you can stick to trusted sites that are mentioned a lot on this forum and that'll cover most of the games that you probably want to play since most of the major ones are provably fair.

When you need to check, you could ask about the specific site on the forum, or put in a small amount of Bitcoin (0.0001 or so) and fiddle around with it to see how often you get payouts.  Be careful though, there are some sites that pay for small amounts but not for larger ones.
yes with stick to trusted sites will ensure you will never scammed from other sites and i do agree with you that ask to this forum is necessary too if you doubt to the particulars sites because usually people will provide the feedback for those sites

you are not supposed to take the words of a random person on the internet as granted ever. no matter if it is positive review or negative review. these feedbacks are just there to give you some general opinion about a particular service. you need to learn to read them and process it yourself. see if they are lying when they say something is good or bad and see if they provide any proof when they say it or are they just saying a random thing or even possibly getting paid to say it or for example are the competition who are saying it.

and in the end you should always use money that you can afford to lose.
I really do accept for most part and if you really wanted to find out whether the site is a scam you have to play it out and find it yourself and for me personally i do only gamble in respected sites which are active for a very long time and i would bother to go to new sites if one of my peers are involved with the project in anyway,if not i would wait it out.
If we were to play on all the sites and then determine if they are scam or legit then it would take like an age to gamble on most of the site. The best way to determine if a site is scam or not is by looking at the recent bets on a site, because if a site has gone scam you won't see many bets or activity on that site.

Seriously ? If you had common sense then you will know already if the gambling site is scam or not. Most of gambling website are legit but it can be scam anytime if the admin closed the gambling site but to be honest they used there personal information to build and lots of reputation he gets already.
