On a normal stand, their thread is not to be locked if truly they have good and clear intentions on good relations with their participants. How can they explain this to the pubic that they locked their thread and at the same time their is a possible phishing attempt on their official website. I suggest their representative be called to order to explaining the misery behind the thread lock and why is their website developed that it always requires one to link their wallet before doing anything upon clicking it. There are so many questions waiting for their representative to answer.

The thread was deleted not locked. besides, as far as I know they are still in the testing phase and haven't really released it yet so I think everyone knows that to test casino sites that are in the testing phase you don't have to use your main wallet to connect to the site because it will be risky unless their site is officially on full release and lots of users playing of course its very safe, as far as i can see i have tested the game on their site and used secondary wallet for testing but after their threads were frequently deleted and disappeared i totally left it.

What should have prompted them to go as far as deleting their thread and if they were done with their test net It would still have been better they leave the thread open for discussion and it would serve a good purpose to remember the early beginning and test net stage of the casino. It can as well serve as the official announcement thread of the casino since they are on beta stage amd the announcement of the launch would have been.said here but it is unfortunate they deleted it and they have lost credibility from potential customers as nobody would want to do anything with them again

I see no reason why I should connect my wallet to a random site and still feel safe, never and one thing is that exoect my making deposit or withdrawal, I see no reason why a site will be asking me to connect my wallet and I even felt unsave to click on any link as everything about them now seems so I safe to me and I believe it's same for other persons too.
Now why will they have to lock their thread if theh were clear and transparent? They have to go back and work on their truly or stand the risk of losing most of their loyal customers.

I was also having such thought about the site. When I tried it, it took me to regular phishing aspect and that was how the process was requesting that I put
in myy key phrase, which is then linked to my assets. I did not even bothered going forth I just had to do away with that casino because it was visibly clear what the casino are upto. Anyone who connects their account are on their own unless otherwise.

^ I don't know how it will work either but as far as I know, these attackers can possibly steal your fund through to have display a fake login screen or prompt the user to enter their seed phrase, which is then stolen by the attacker. Another tactic is to intercept transactions and replace the intended recipient's address with the attacker's address, resulting in the loss of the user's funds.
All kinds of wallets are not safe once your device gets infected with the virus, so we should be thankful of what OP shared here because if I were on that side, I did not also connect my wallet.

Some of the classic ways of stealing assets in wallets are using web phishing and the second way is being infected with a malware virus that automatically replaces the address of the hacker stored in a hidden file, so make sure the anti-virus on your PC is always active in realtime mode to detect viruses at any time. However, it is recommended not to use the main wallet access on the PC to avoid malware viruses on the PC that are not detected, so keep improving your PC's security features.

Correct me if I am wrong but, in case someone decided to access a scam DEfi casino using Metamask connected to a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger.
The website would not be able to steal the funds, would they?

Because in theory, any operation/signature would need to be approved from the physical device itself and then it would be obvious we are being asked to send funds to a different address. Unless, they make it appear to be an interaction with a smart contract so the victim may approve it?

I makes me wonder what they do in order to steal from a metamask-only wallet? Do they use a malware to steal the seed or trick the user to perform a transaction with a false message?

I think I have also seen only one, or maybe two web3 casinos, but I've never tried any and don't even intend to.

The truth is that, gambling casinos can never be like exchanges, where some traders prefer decentralized exchanges over centralized ones, possibly due to frequent hacks and all that, in gambling, centralized Casino rarely get hacked, so I see no motivation to want to use a decentralized, in other words, web3 casino for my gambling activities.

Just like you, most of the gamblers don't have issues using centralized casinos mainly because they are licensed and trusted and probably also because they have been around for longer and has a reputation built up already in the community. So it doesn't sound so good to leave a casino that you have been using which is trusted and start using one that isn't.

Decentralized casinos might get popular later in the future when there are more regulations and rules imposed by the laws on centralized exchanges, but I doubt that they will not do the same with decentralized ones.

Damn, the fact that this project is using the Zksync role name anyone can easily trust this defi casino, it will be hard for me to leave the likes of Fortune Jack and Roobet for any blockchain gambling platform, they have nothing to lose and reputation is the last thing on their mind, I don't know if anyone knew about Riddoto? It's a new blockchain gambling platform too, good for alt-season investment in the coming bull market but I doubt it's survival later on, I think it's safer to stay with popular online casinos instead of blockchain gambling platforms.

Someone who has expertise in advanced technology can easily clone other gambling sites and be used to deceive many people.
This is the importance of us always choosing to gamble at popular casinos on this forum and choosing this forum as a place to look for trusted casinos.
On the other good things in this forum there are many experienced gamblers who can find scam sites and share them here so that we are more careful not to deposit our money on these sites.
Incidents of cloning gambling sites like this have happened a long time ago and if we are observant in choosing a new casino, we can definitely detect that the site is a scam.

can you share your experience in web3 casino? I mean what is the name of the web3 casino you mean can you share the name of the casino here?
because to be honest I have never had any experience in a web3 casino even though I know some web3 casinos but they don't have any trust or reputation and in my opinion there is no guarantee of the risk of fraud if you understand.

Sorry, friend, for the problem of sharing the name of the web3 casino, I can't say it and I'm sure you understand and can understand, from my point of view, why can't you say it.
It is true that there are no web3 casinos that provide guarantees and conveyances saying that they guarantee the safety of their users but I myself am sure that every casino will take care of security for the sake of their good name.
Maybe you can try yourself playing at one of the web3 casinos that you know because if you only rely on the experiences of other gamblers you are unlikely to get a good experience and have real proof that web3 casinos are not all bad.

In using the web3 casino, all gamblers really have to connect their personal wallets to be able to play or bet, but we can anticipate that bad things will not happen to the assets in our wallets by creating a new wallet and only using it to play at the casino, so there is no need to worry about bad things.
After all, several web3 casinos are also trusted and have quite a good reputation so not all web3 casinos have the danger of scams, but we still have to be careful and protect the assets we have.
If you say security, it is indeed safer to create an account and make a deposit every time you play, but web3 casinos make it easy for gamblers not to need to make a deposit and only need to combine wallets to play or bet.

Why would you say that several web3 casinos are trusted while there aren't really a lot of them available yet? I don't remember seeing any more than one casino that claims to be utilizing web3 and that had the option for the gamblers to connect their wallet and place bets directly through the wallet using smart contracts and on-chain transactions.

Security will definitely be a concern for everyone since there aren't a lot of platforms with this feature and if there are any that would be new with no trust and reputation. So it's obviously risky but there nothing wrong in checking them out with a new wallet.

Because I also use a web3-based casino and have no problems playing there even though I rarely play but it's enough to give a sense of trust to their site and indeed I have to use my personal wallet to be able to play.
Maybe you can search and try one of the web3 casinos to prove firsthand that there are pretty good web3 sites.
Every casino will guarantee the safety of every gambler who plays there and not only at Web3 Casino but also other casinos will implement the same thing.
If you really want to be safer, just use a new or secondary wallet so you don't have to worry that when you try it there will be problems.

There are few casinos claimed they were web 3.0 casinos and they ask to connect your wallet if you want to play in their site, although there's no case where they scam, but make sure anyone need to use secondary wallet and not use their primary wallet.

I still think creating an account and make a deposit is much safer than this one.

I often do this to avoid problems and also this should be done by many other users if you want to connect a wallet on a site that supports web 3.0 use a secondary wallet don't use the main wallet which has all our crypto assets, because we will never know the malicious intentions of the site owner so avoid connecting to the main wallet and always make sure to use a new wallet especially on sites that are currently in testing.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Thank you for sharing this piece of valuable information with us.
Your concerns are significant, as they can be a possible scam threat.
I would suggest everyone stay vigilant until more details about why the discussion is locked and why wallet connects are required for every aspect of the website.

The @OP was been this forum since 2014 and you say welcome to the forum? I have no idea why you can say this Cheesy

I noticed same thing too then and I became skeptical of such actions because when such a thing happens, there is likely something fishy about that thing which made the OP locked it not to talk of when there are complaints coming in from different angles about that thread. Normally, anything that has to do with linking up of wallet, I am very much mindful of it as it involves granting access to your wallet which in other words, means permitting access to the third party to make withdrawal as the case maybe.
If you must grant any third party access to your wallet via website connection, you must be sure of that website so as not to get your funds stollen or you use a new wallet entirely different.
