When dealing up with new casino then it isn't ideal to deposit big amounts directly and some do still test out waters before putting big amounts into their gambling account.

Its just part of our common sense and able to tell that there are factors which you can directly tell if a site is shady or not really good at all in terms of UI and
other factors.

You can easily spot it out if you get used to play into those reputable and good looking sites.You can just it for yourself if its really worth to make out a deposit
or not.

This has happened several times in the past, there is nothing wrong with testing a new casino but if you are going to do it then you need only deposit a small amount of capital, that way if the casino is a scam then you only lose a small amount of money, but in the past we have seen people depositing huge amounts of money in a new casino and the scammers behind it do not even think about it twice and just disappear with all of that money, and as we know it is incredibly difficult to recover your money once you have been scammed which is why we need to be careful.

I'm afraid those who are lazy to even check the "From:" link as well as not even copy the link they get in the email and directly click it, are the ones who mostly suffer due to these scams. That's because sometimes, these phishing e-mails too manage to get themselves packed into inbox instead of spam/junk area, which is why a gambler who's in a hurry to grab those blazing deals that are shown via images that the gambler gets betrayed so easily by his own brain thinking that the email came from a site he registered at.

And sometimes if the email is identical, they don't check the actual domain email where it really came from.

With a small check, they can distinguish what's the legit and what's the scam email from an unknown source that's just copying the email coming from the actual casinos that they play.

A new normal thing to the internet this is the reason why if you have a registered email using different website its better to separate those emails for your gambling habit to your personal emails. Also as possible its better to don't click any suspicious emails came from an unknown source if you don't do any action or activity to their website as possible avoid these suspicious links. Theres no platform giving an email for their users and give them a tons of free money.

During this pandemic we'll get more and more number of suspicious emails. Directly sending those emails to the bin is good and keeps our system and data secure.

In my country in during the last one year the increase in the number of applications for the purpose of gambling has increased drastically. That too in the form of rummy, spinwheel and lucky draws. Many might've fallen for these traps where the user experience win at the beginning and keeps losing.

Well, I think you can set emails such that only subscribed ones are actually received in your inbox? Or you can just filter your messages at first so that you can only see promotions. Afaik, person-to-person emails aren't included in the promotions filter of emails so it would be a lot easier to see which emails are legit promotions and which are not. Wouldn't actually blame most people for not checking the "From" label tbh, most people grew up like that. Getting scammed once or twice due to that is pretty much obvious at that point, but afterward? Then blame them completely I must say.

some from those new gamblers who played online use scam sites, without knowing the strategy of scammers,

they've been allured by sweet promises, with pandemic the limitations of going to any offshore gambling site are prohibited and those who wanted to continue playing, trying to use online casinos is the only option, without knowledge they've ended up losing more money.

Yes, a lot of players get lucrative offers from casinos and they will deposit without actually verifying the legitimacy of the casino and later realize that the welcome bonus offer was a trap because the wagering requirements are impossible to ever get close to, forget about achieving them.

This is the reason despite getting hundreds of offers via emails, I hardly ever click them because I am afraid of clicking a phishing email or visiting a scam casino. I know I might be missing some great offers and opportunities but there are more scam emails and casinos than legit offers.

There are people who still get trapped in scams like 1xbit (it's a scam don't ever play there) because they are advertising very aggressively and new players might be mistaking them with 1xbet.

Lots of new casinos have appeared online since the pandemic occurred, because the demand for online gambling must be admittedly increasing.
And what's scary is that not all new casinos can be trusted, even quite a lot of new casinos end up being scams.

It's not the case. New gamblers still choose the popular ones and there are records for it - the reason why there are stats. If these people ended up playing in a scam site, there should be no trace of them in the statistics.

The problem is not the scam but the gamblers themselves. Since as you said, the demand for online gambling increase, lots of people, even those who are not really into gambling, test what gambling is, and some ended up worst because of lack of knowledge, emotions, and being carried away.

Desperation would really lead into mistake this is why we should really be mindful on what are the actions that we should take and if its forbidden
then dont try to look desperately just for you to play.Always be mindful that there are lots of scam sites out there just waiting up for some noobs to lure in and play without realizing that theyre dealing with a scam until they noticed it but its already too late.
Our own common sense would tell us if we do spot something suspicious because its impossible that you wont really see it as a scam
on just basing with few factors.

Even at casinos and gambling sites with a respectable license you can run into problems.

You can have various problems with legit casinos but that's a vague comparison if it's about the topic of scam casinos. Scam casinos won't give you any resolution for the trouble that they'll bring.
But those legit casinos, they'll find a way to help you solve what you're experiencing badly with them. That's just a really odd comparison if it's all about saying a casino is a scam and a casino that can have a problem to their users which are solvable.

Be safer by limiting your bet, don't bet in just one casino, learn how to minimize the risk because we never know when they will close shop and take our money. There's a lot of reputable casino in the past that goes dark after years of operation, so it could happen again in the future as crypto casinos, in general, are not really well regulated, and that's where it's considered as a high-risk activity for us.

For those who have been established, they're far from scamming people. And if they're going to have a problem, they're going to secure an announcement so that their customers won't have to think about any trouble. That's how reputable casinos are working and they won't compromise the reputation that they've built for years just for small amount of bets. They'll settle it as soon as possible that's why if a reputable casino starts to have some problems, I think that they're really not going to do what you think.

I completely agree. The truth is that there are unreliable casinos that do not pay out winnings or they are simply a scam well-hidden in ads with attractive bonuses.

True, maybe some of them are still active and we know that there are accusations of open scam for their site. Such site should be avoided and they should not make deposite there if they do not want to scammed.

Getting scammed or not is in the hands of the players, and if they have the time and mental agility to check and go over the listed tips they will have a much better chance of avoiding scams.

As long as the site has no open (valid) scam accusations on this forum, then I think it will be safe to use. The reputation of the site should be seriously considered before making a deposit.

I agree, the problem is mostly in gamblers! They simply lose and they blame everyone and everything else, except to look in the mirror...

New casinos appear, and if people are not experienced in finding flaws and scam indicators they should wait for someone experienced to test it and give their review!

I observe from the television and local newspaper that people tend to go to the public area when the long weekend comes, which is very crowd and some do not follow the health protocol.
I do not know what people think when they are in the public area or out there about the virus because I think they do not think seriously about the virus and that proves by disobeying wearing the mask, washing their hand, and using social media distancing between them.
It is really sad to see that they do not imagine how if they get infected by the virus, but I really hope they can protect themselves and stay healthy.
We do not have to follow what they did because it is for our health and the people around us, so we really need to care about that.

It is always good to take these types of premises into account, although basic, it is incredible to think that the statistics in those who do not take them always remain in trend, there is always someone who does not use some of these tips because they believe that it will not happen or because of ignorance .

So although many are simple common sense, they must be promoting.

On the other hand, I think that tip seven , please avoid them, neither credit card or debit card; just use crypto deposits in any casino.

That's right, after all we just need to buy or exchange it to crypto and it's already quite easy and safe for us to use to make deposits. Many of them are deceived because of carelessness and do not find out in advance about the sites related to the various offers made, in this case at least everyone or novice gamblers or do not always put vigilance and consideration to pay more attention and start with money that is ready to lose. Because, a research will still lead us to fraud and by using money that is ready to be lost, at least when we are trapped we do not experience big losses.

Well it all boils down to being more skeptical with whatever it is you are getting into especially if it involves you spending money on it. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist debunking all gambling sites out there as some sort of hidden scam sites. Just be a bit wary. Do your own research. That's all you need to do.

This should be a normal routine every time you visit any site and there should be no excuse in gambling site. As this pandemic forces as to transact more often online, hackers are also doing their best to look for their victim, we should always be cautious. We have to do our research all the time, don’t believe easily on what you saw online.

If you don't want to waste time just doing research every day, you can only use famous and trusted sites. because only that way, at least you already have good security even though it's not 100%, because the security that becomes perfect is coming from yourself about how you consider every offer you receive, the most important thing is to keep high vigilance and not careless in making decisions.

I only gambled with well established gambling site who had been in the gambling system for a long time, I am unmoved or attracted by the new ones who always promises bogus bonuses in a bid to lure newbies gamblers, I had been very careful, vigilant and try to avoid signing or gambling with scam sites unfortunately many of those casinos and gambling sites are unregulated thus capitalized on this anomaly to scam newbies, it's up to gamblers to follow the steps itemized by the OP to avoid falling into scam.
