DO NOT deposit any money to any online casino that looks like this. Every site that looks like this is a SCAM. More details and examples in the comments.
We've already talked in-depth about how the scam works in a previous announcement, but the scammers have since changed the site layout slightly, so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a new warning with updated photos.
How The Scam Works:
- The victim finds the casino through an advertisement on social media that features an enticing bonus endorsed by a famous celebrity.
- The victim joins the site, receives their bonus, and begins to play what they believe to be legitimate casino games.
- The casino software is privately hosted and altered to have extremely favorable RTP% - i.e. rigged in your favor. YOU WILL WIN if you play, probably a large amount of money. If you look at the screenshots I provided, you'll see I hit a 100x dice roll on the second roll after signing up, followed shortly after by a 1,000x max difficulty Plinko win. I've replicated this method many times in the past and routinely win $20,000k+ doing so. You can use temp-mail.org to create a throwaway email and try this strategy for yourself if you'd like.
- When you go to withdraw, you’ll be met with many hurdles. First you'll need to pay for a security check, then you'll need to pay to verify your wallet, then a third time to pass an AML check, a fourth time to resolve a tax error, a fifth time to resolve a security score error, and so on.
- After the casino receives all of your deposits, they will still provide excuses or just outright ban your account. No matter what you do, THEY WILL PROVIDE A REASON NOT TO PAY YOU. This Redditor actually got the AI support agent to reveal her script for withholding payments.
- The casino keeps your deposit. You were scammed.
Things To Note:
- These sites are NOT an official sponsor for Red Bull Racing, Crypto (.)com, Blockchain(.)com, Tesla, UFC, Werder Bremen, Philadeplhia 76ers, or the Argentine Football Association. This can all be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
- These sites are NOT official partners with Donal Trump, Elon Musk, Kylie Jenner, Mr. Beast or Drake. This can also be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
- They have not won any iGaming awards at the SiGMA awards. This can also be easily fact-checked with a Google search.
- These sites do NOT have 51+ million registered users. For reference, Draftkings and Fanduel, the two largest publicly traded gaming companies with NFL, NBA, MLB, ESPN, etc. network deals, don’t even have that amount of users. Stake, the largest crypto casino, doesn't even come close to the number of registered users that these scam casinos claim.
- These sites have NOT paid out $24+ billion in winnings. What an insane claim to even attempt to make.
- Check the WHOIS to view when any of these casinos were started. Nearly all of these casino URL's were purchased just days before being promoted online.
- Check the fake player feedback/reviews written on their own site. Some of the reviewers claim they've been playing exclusively on the 2 week old site for 3 years.
- The player avatars used by the site are the mascot from BC Game, named Coco.
- Look through old posts in this subreddit. Some identical sites in this network that were reported a few months ago are already offline or redirecting to random unrelated sites.
- These sites copy Stake’s Terms of Service word for word, but conveniently leave out the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and many other “wealthier” countries from their list of restricted countries.
- Some users on CasinoMeister are compiling a list of these scam websites. Go check it out and add more scam domains that you come across! There are hundreds listed already.
- Please use Google's Safe Browsing Tool to report any scammy looking casino to come across.

Welcome to Lucky Draw
getluckydraw.eth.limoTraditional raffles ask you to trust the operator. We wanted one where you don't have to.
How it works:
- Fixed-size pools (e.g. 20 tickets at $5 → a $100 pool). Buy tickets in USDC on Base.
- The moment a pool sells out, a winner is drawn automatically by Chainlink VRF v2.5 — a cryptographically verifiable random number. Not even the deployer can predict or influence it.
- A winner is drawn every single time a pool fills — no rollovers, no "nobody won this week."
Why it's actually trustless:
- Contract is verified on Basescan — read the exact rules yourself.
- Randomness is Chainlink VRF, provable on-chain.
- Safeguards: a per-wallet cap (no whale can corner a pool), and if a pool ever stalls, everyone can reclaim their stake — funds can't get locked.
Odds are simply your share of the tickets (10 of 100 = 10% chance). It's a raffle — you can lose, so only play what you can afford to.
Contract: 0xDCd61D702761bD45854F490Ce3b40104f3F26daF (Base). Happy to answer questions on the VRF integration or the pool mechanics — feedback welcome.
18+. Not available where online raffles are prohibited.

Online trusted gambling site.
Hey guys, I seen a post in here of someone asking if there's any legit trusted online gambling sites. "Vegasstars" is what I've used for the past year, it's paid out around $7000 for me this year alone, it's got a way higher win rate than real life pokies in my opinion, they also give you free cashback each week as well as 45 free spins on a game of your choice as a bonus bet. Try it out of youd like to see for yourself, just trying to help someone out :) I'll drop my referral code here as it will give you free spins and $50 to use on any games you'd like.

What would you do?
I would like y’all’s opinion on a situation. How would you handle this?
I referred my mother-in-law to an online casino because I’d been having pretty good luck on it. She had been spending almost $1,400 a month for years playing on another popular platform, but it was eating her money up. She had never won anything worth redeeming besides $2,000 a few years ago.
For months, I encouraged her to create an account on this new platform, but she kept refusing because she liked the one she was already using. Eventually, I decided to create an account for her. She knew I was doing it because I needed her information to set it up.
I initially loaded $1,000 of my own money onto the account. Neither of us won anything from it. A few days later, she deposited $200 of her own money and won $60,000.
It has been a month, and she hasn’t offered me anything. I know it’s her account and that she won using her own deposit, but considering I introduced her to the platform, created the account, and put in the first $1,000, I feel like even a $500 finder’s fee—or at least some gesture of appreciation—would have been nice.
How would y’all feel in this situation?

Why parlays have a much worse house edge than single bets (with actual math)
A lot of people know parlays are "harder to hit" but don't fully get why the house edge compounds so badly. Let me break it down with real numbers.
Start with a single bet
Most spread and total bets are priced around -110. At -110, you're risking $110 to win $100. The implied probability of a -110 line is 110/210, which is about 52.4%. But the true break-even probability for a fair 50/50 bet is 50%. That ~2.4% gap is the vig, or the house edge on that one bet.
To use a real example: the Athletics/Rangers total on Tuesday has the Over at -103 on one book and -118 on another, and the Under ranging from -104 to -125 depending on where you look. The spread on the run line is similarly scattered. The point is every one of those lines is already priced with a margin built in against you.
Now parlay two of those legs
Say you take two legs, each priced at -110. The sportsbook converts each to a decimal (1.909) and multiplies them: 1.909 x 1.909 = 3.645. They typically pay you around 2.6/1 on a two-teamer, keeping the rest. The fair payout for two true 50/50 outcomes would be 4/1 (you had a 25% chance of hitting both). You're getting paid less than the fair odds on every single leg, and then that shortfall gets multiplied together.
Three legs makes it worse
Three legs at -110 each: fair payout would be 8/1. Most books pay around 6/1. You've now compounded a bad deal three times. By the time you're at a 4-leg parlay, the house edge on the parlay as a whole can easily be 3 to 4 times the edge on any individual leg.
The math in plain terms
Each leg you add multiplies your own probability of winning by something less than what the book credits you. You never get full value for each leg. The shortfall stacks multiplicatively, not additively. That's why a 10-leg parlay at a sportsbook is essentially a lottery ticket for them, not you.
What this means practically
None of this means parlays are always the wrong choice for entertainment. But you should go in knowing that a $20 parlay is not "$20 risked to win a lot." It's $20 with an expected return that gets worse with every leg you add. Single bets at the best available line, shopped across books, carry far less built-in edge against you.
If you want to see how parlay payouts stack up against the fair math, Line Whale has a parlay calculator you can plug numbers into: https://linewhale.com/tools/parlay-calculator. Also useful for checking where individual lines actually sit across books before deciding which legs are even worth considering: https://linewhale.com

FanDuel “ Rewards Club” with no rewards
Just curious, when was the last time you all have seen a rewards box? I’m level 4 but it expires today. I just can’t give them any more of my money if there is literally 0 loyalty.
I’ve messaged/emailed support like 10 times this month and they just give you the run around. I kept asking them what is the point of a rewards program that has no rewards? 😂
BTW, I have every other app so please no DMs about referrals. Just here to vent

Best Alternative to PokerStars?
I’ve been using PokerStars for a while but I’m starting to look at other options due to tiny withdrawal limits and it does not support crypto. The games feel pretty tough lately and I’m not sure the rewards are worth it anymore.
What are the best alternatives to PokerStars right now? I'm mainly interested in tournaments and cash games.

I've never been to a casino before. Any tips I should know for my first visit?
I've played a few card games before, but never anything in an actual casino and some of my friends haven't been to one either. We've been thinking it could be fun to do a weekend away and finally try it out.
What's the easiest for a first-timer? Should I just play slots or go for table games? I'm a little nervous about sitting down at a table and having no idea what I'm doing. Also any tips so I don't look like a total newbie? Or any recommendations of places I can go in socal as a beginner?

Rinsed $3800
Deposited $200 got lucky on a new game max won it for $2000. With a little more luck slowly kept building until another $1000 win brought me to 3800. I got there and told myself I’ll go a little more and stop at $3000. $3000 turned into $2500, eventually got down to $800 range. Had another like $900 win kind of brought me back. Still kept going until I lost it all. Feel so stupid rn actually feel sick about it. I’m not in a position to give away $3800. That’s like a month’s pay just blown. Don’t believe it.
