How to avoid scammers among anonymous sites

1. License and Jurisdiction Review

Official register: find the license number on the site and check the "active" status on the Curaçao eGaming, BVI or Isle of Man portal.
Legal entity: check the company name, registration address and contact details; the lack of public information is a wake-up call.

2. Random Number Generator (RNG) Audit

Independent reports: the site must have PDF certificates from eCOGRA, iTech Labs or GLI with a date not older than 12 months.
Potentially Fair (blockchain slots): the ability to check the seed hash and reveal value through the built-in honesty calculator.

3. Community reputation and feedback

Reddit & Telegram: Look for real withdrawal cases and complaints from the last 3-6 months.
Trustpilot, AskGamblers: analyze the ratio of honest and negative reviews, read the details of the problems.

4. Test deposit and withdrawal

1. Mini deposit: Make the equivalent of 10-20 USD in a crypto or voucher.
2. A few bets: Check the stability of the slots and the absence of lags.
3. Withdrawal Request: Capture enrollment time, fees, and possible KYC request.

5. Technical checks

SSL/HTTPS: green lock and EV certificate; check the fingerprint of the certificate with the data in the official channel.
DNS and WebRTC protection: enable DNS over HTTPS/TLS and disable WebRTC ini WebRTC-Block or in browser settings.
Mirrors and domains: use only links from official Telegram channels, avoid phishing copies.

6. Support and transparency

Online chat and tickets: quick response (<60 s in chat, <2 h by e-mail), clear instructions for deposit, bonuses and withdrawal.
Confidentiality: the support should not request documents before exceeding the declared KYC threshold (usually ≥ 1,000 USD).

7. Bonuses and conditions

Welcome offers: carefully read the "Bonus Terms" section - Wager, terms and excluded games.
Cashback and freespins: give preference without a wager or with a minimum × of 1- × 3, avoid conditions × 50 and above.

Bottom line:
  • In order not to stumble upon scammers, follow a step-by-step algorithm: check the license and audit, study the reviews, make a test deposit and withdrawal, make sure the technical safety and efficiency of support, and activate bonuses only after all checks.
