Warning about ZK:NO KYC Instant withdraws up to $500K/24h.Today only: 0% edge and ZKAS airdrop

Every element of the website (including the social media viewing) requires you to connect your wallet. Additionally, the topic is locked for discussion though the creator (newbie) is posting to bump the thread. This is extremely suspicious.

This thread can be removed after a moderator reviews the report. This is a warning not to connect your wallet to this website until there is more information as to why the discussion is locked and why the website forces walletconnect for even things like viewing social media/joining discord.

The site is already a very suspicious one and there is no single reason why one will be asked to connect or link a wallet address at every step they take just because they want to try out a casino. I'm sure that this singular act alone has already done so much harm than good to their reputation and it will take them so much time to dispute this claims.
Thank you so much OP for raising this awareness to us and I hope more persons get to see this thread so as not to fall victim of any malicious or criminal acts.

I'm not one who will try that, there are many DeFi casinos now but until now I haven't connected any of my wallets until they are reported safe by those who have tried their platform, it's not that I don't trust these platforms it's just that they are not fully accepted by the gambling community and there are safety parameters that need to be employed to make it safe for the gambling community.

It is really a shame just as you have said but we cannot do anything here rather than account ban but we know this is a decentralized platform void of kyc so any one here is free to make posts, comment and take part in work or jobs available.

Neither do i know proper meaning of decentralization, but pretty sure this forum ain't it.

Looks like he is an idiot if he thinks adding up to 500k wd instant for the next 24 hours will bring in the big depositors. It's really a shame that we don't know where to find this person and send them to a prison cell for awhile for the scam attempt.

Come to talk of it, the zkasino has long deleted the post and none can assess the page anymore. I am happy OP did Research and did a quick response immediately after OP discovery so that members do not fall victim of account phishing which would have been disasterous for those who have no idea the genuineness of what they were clicking bit all the same, no own has complained of linking their accounts to the zkasino site and that is ok by me.

Having a secondary one with only pocket change on a different device isn't a bad idea.

You could use two wallets on metamask itself, with 'useless' one for sites like mentioned in op.

Hardware wallet for savings, hot wallet for day-to-day transactions and lastly useless wallet.

Even better, no wallet Cheesy

What do you think? Most of the DeFis are useless and there's no need of using such platform I think.

I figure that depends upon user, I'm active in ethereum ecosystem so can't live without it. Yes, there are shady dapps, have been burnt few times as well, but it can also be rewarding with it's retrospective drops (hop, dydx, uni, op).

The attractive offer of this site naturally increases its susceptibility to skepticism. No KYC is required to withdraw up to 500k. The main objective of such a big opportunity is to ‍attract the big investors. Those who have little knowledge about gambling sites can avoid it. Those who connect the wallet without knowing about any site will naturally affect by the scam. It has no promotion so everyone is highly suspicious of it.

Not everyone likes KYC though, so many newly-established ones try to lure them with sweet talks.

Thanks for the correction. I had totally forgotten about this. I read such a rule long ago but can't remember exactly. Can you point me to a link where this is stated? I tried to find yesterday but couldn't find anything helpful on this.

Unfortunately I can only give a proof about my report, not from the moderators' post who's pointing out about it. Maybe you can try to report a plagiarized post by yourself and then you can verify if it's true or not.

Yes, I saw the same thing with this phishing site, with any interaction with the page, a suggestion was made to connect Metamask, but the thread was blocked by the author apparently deliberately and there was no way to leave a comment, so it looks like a scammer hunting.

The good thing is the @OP is dumb for locking his thread, when a newbie either create self moderated thread or lock the thread immediately after he create it, it will raise a red flag for us. Even though he have read my post and create new thread with new phishing site without self moderated or lock the thread, many people already aware and careful due to this thread.

Good, thanks for the OP's heads-up and hopefully no one will fall for this trick.

And it seems the attack on crypto based casinos have been ramping up from this cyber criminals. I guess they know that's where the real money is. Recently there is a thread wherein a user has been phished and his huge amount of money withdrawn by the hackers itself.

So definitely everyone should be very careful right now.

This is why I really skepticism about dApps because they ask to connect our wallet, even it's a legit one I still think there's a chance they could compromise my wallet. Creating a new account on the casino and fund it from our wallet are better IMO.

Quote from: Little Mouse on February 22, 2023, 12:37:24 PM

Plagiarized post doesn't get deleted if I'm correct, nor the scam is moderated here. So, I think OP has deleted the ANN by himself. I can't see anything on the modLog too- https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

The moderators will delete the plagiarized post and your report would be marked good, but it will depends on the moderators if they want to ban the user or not. However you can't see any report on modlog, it's mean the @OP was delete it by himself.

Good catch.
I feel that any website asking to connect ones wallet to view content and at the same time getting their thread locked should be considered a huge fled flag to anyone.

Yes, it is a shame he will likely to try again on other community where people may not realize it is a scam on time, but there is not much we can do, just to spread awareness to those who come around here for the first time looking for reputable casinos.

He seemed to convince by buying copper members to look like a casino in general who had just arrived, but in the end, he was arrested because there was a suspicion that by clicking on social media they had to connect first, this was clearly a scam.

I was able to access the site but there were suspicions why the thread was locked after posting, and what was even more surprising was that every click had to be connected to the web3 wallet that was a suspicion, I hope there are no victims in this trick.

Maybe they think that using a copper membership can make other users trust and want to enter the web that has been provided.
What's more, when every time you want to enter, you have to connect to the wallet address, so even if you use a copper membership, I'm sure everyone won't believe it easily and want to connect to the wallet you have.
In this forum there are staff or forum moderators who are very wise and they all know in each thread whether it will be dangerous for forum members or not. deceived and victimized.

The problem with this, as crude as it may seem, is that like all scams, they play with the big numbers. There is always someone clueless or foolish enough to fall into their trap.

I imagine that trying to report him would be useless because we don't know his jurisdiction and he could be using tor etc?

What would make the zkasino to lock the thread if not something fishy is going on. I came across the topic while reading and it was locked that is preventing anyone from making any comments which clearly indicates that the project is a possible scam because I see no reason why the op of the thread would lock the topic and does not want members to comment. Definitely, if members were to comment,they would have unraveled more information about the website and calling the attention to other members to run away from the website. Every on should be careful about that site so as not to get hacked.

Good find OP, and thanks for warning the community!

There have been numerous scam attempts that involve creating fake sites and requesting people to connect their hot wallets and browser extensions. Since these wallets are always online, you should never trust the information posted on a public forum no matter who posted it. Confirm the info from official sources and even then consider whether you should connect your wallet or not. It wouldn't be the first time a project exit scams and goes bad. Having a secondary one with only pocket change on a different device isn't a bad idea.
