My friend recently get scammed by a gambling site which he found by continuously browsing. On internet. Sorry but even he cant remember the name so i cant tell you but here's what you wouldnt do. He said he was searching about how cryptocurrency gambling work. He is much aware about bitcoin but not about using it for gambling. He find some "yellow botton" he said which offers gambling for newbies and the rest is history. Goodbye $200 . yes thats kinda bit small but should you wait that it happened to you with a bigger amount? Here's what you would do.
1. Dont click and browse non recognized site to avoid phishing.
2.. Always ask first the people on this forum whether the site is legit or not.
3. Dont put too much money on that site so if ever its really a scam, the amount it can get is minimal.
4. If it looks really legit, try some few games with few bets at first.
Being cautious costs less than not being aware at all. Dont let our greediness and dumbness takes over our financial life. Be safe people.
Identifying difference between fake and original gambling websites have always been a tedious task because even most of the legit gambling sites look like a complete crap while some fake websites are so nicely created that give an impression of a huge casino. I think ensuring the longevity of the period for which the site has been active is the best indicator of its trustworthiness. Moreover Scams & accusation section of the forum is a place you can easily find out about any fake websites which already have duped money of investors. and yes not to forget never keep a lot of money on gambling websites even if you trust it the most. Immediately add or withdraw money from your wallets or exchanges.
