Realization comes late after those people got scam. Most of them do background checking after they got compromised, if they just do their research before participating for sure they can avoid this problem. To many people could give their insights if they just ask since for sure for so many gamblers here staying in this forum for sure they will share their experience and feedback to the casino ask.

Gamblers and every single market participant needs to learn that we do not enjoy the same kind of protections the fiat system gives us, if this was a problem with a fiat casino the OP could just open a dispute with their bank and they may be able to recover their money this way, but on this market we are our own banks and this signifies we need to protect ourselves as much as we can, and doing our due diligence before gambling at a new casino seems like one of the most basic things we could do to achieve this.
