They’ll eventually get penalized if someone reports them, or if the government decides to go after operators like that. But there’s a big difference between a licensed casino committing a violation and facing penalties, versus an unlicensed one.

What you’re describing more like an unlicensed casino, and that’s a different case altogether. They’re operating illegally from the start, so once they get caught, it’s no longer just about penalties or compliance, it becomes a legal matter that the authorities will deal with accordingly.


There’s always the risk of getting caught, and in the worst case, even going to jail, which is exactly why operators need a license to run legally. Just look at CZ of Binance, it’s an exchange, sure, but the principle is similar. Once issues like money laundering come into play, regulators will step in.

An unlicensed casino has no proper coordination with bodies like Anti-Money Laundering Council, so they might not even realize they’re already accepting dirty money and helping launder it through their platform. That’s a serious risk, and once authorities notice, it’s no longer just a business problem, it becomes a legal one.

But getting hardware wallets you still have the same problem of writing your seed phrase down on a piece of paper, which can be lost, stolen, or damaged during a fire.

I still believe that the best place to store your seed phrase is your own head (they are called mnemonics for some reason), with the downside that if you get an accident or ill you can forget it -although, in that case, your coins may be the least of your problems.

Another good option is having a metal piece with your seed phrase engraved on it. You can still lose it or get it stolen, but unlike paper, it is immune to most damages.

Storing your seed phrase, your wallet backups online is bad as it exposes your wallets, wallet backups to many potential online threats that can compromise your devices, wallets, wallet backups and steal your bitcoin.

You can create and back up your wallet airgap for best security.

Probably then they have to leave. I am not sure how long the Bitcointalk community will tolerate their shady behaviour. But most probably not so long; at least I am not going to underestimate at all. Unless they start solving issues, I have to tag them soon, though I really don't want to do so. But gambling sites seem not to care about the forum users.

To be honest, I made a sound a long time ago, but they don't seem afraid about allegations, hence not bothering to respond. So far I can see they aren't friendly enough to solve their fiat issues. They could easily force local fiat agents to solve such issues. Even they could add a contact of local fiat agents whom they will contact when they face some issues.

Storing your phrase on a piece of paper is a great backup. Personally, I do the same as you, keeping it a secret, but only a few people I trust know about it, namely my family. I also told my family to immediately ask a trusted friend who understands crypto for help (when something happens to me), so they could help unlock it. I also feel it is important to pass on the phrase to close family members we trust, so it doesn't get buried forever.

By the way, storing the phrase online is just as important as offline backups. I also store it on several external devices, including my hard drive and SSD, and I always carry it with me wherever I go. Furthermore, I encrypt the files in case I lose them (which I don't expect to happen). If that happens, I will immediately take further action to secure my crypto by transferring it all to a new wallet.

Well, basically all the storage methods we use have their own advantages and disadvantages, but I think we need to try them all, and also need to understand the security procedures further, whether it is when storing online or offline (in the real world). A sense of skepticism that becomes a reference to make us be wary of all possibilities.

Maybe I am missing some facts about bc game. Could you please tell where bc game run social media promotions with banner adds and other promotional services? I don't remember see discussions about this point or see bc game banners anywhere. But I see how much they spend weekly running signature campaign in bitcointalk. Knowing that it's a longstanding campaign having many participants. I don't expect them to spend more budget than what they actually spend in the signature campaign in bitcointalk.

It is true that abusers would try to take advantage whereever they see a chance to, but the casino must also consider the legitimate players. That is why a single attempt at KYC verification is not right, at least three attempts. And the casino should also let the player know how many attempts they have in total, so they aren't cut my surprise.

That said, it is great that BK8's representative is active and already on the case, so there should be a reasonable resolution soon. OP, you do well to keep up updated on the latest development on this.

True, we must not share our information on any website we come across without minding if it's a reputable platform or not, that's makes us more vulnerable than we expected, even if the previous sites we did KYC on have protected our information properly, those new site that we were never carful with, would be the one to sell our information to the scammers.

Stop cooperating with forum guys who act as intermediaries to advance resolving pending disputes prove their intentions to scam users under usual nonsense excuses. Meanwhile it's not in their favor to stop promotional campaigns in the forum because it's their main source of traffic; traffic coming from the forum is users believing in the credibility of the forum so they go to the casino without checking its reputation. (Note that the forum is not responsible for their scam behaviors but the casino exploit from the reputation of the forum).

not to be the negative guy in the room, but those websites are useless unless the scam involves the US in some way.
for the rest of the world, reporting scams there gonna get you nowhere.

no, they will not. most of the time, a scam report will just be sitting there on their server, and no one is going to look at it, simply cause they don't have enough resources to look at all of them.

That was a blunder from my side. I think I noticed they stopped their campaigns a few months ago; probably they are back again, which I did not know. However, their behaviour does not look at all like it. Since they refused to cooperate the forum guys and wanted to handle their cases by themself, I don't think they have any chance solving those scam accusations anymore. The victims who create scam accusations in this forum unlikely to get any responses from BC game. They admit that sometimes it takes over a month to repy a simple email.

I had posted on the other thread (cricket discussions). There have been no further developments on this topic during the last 24 hours. As of now, everything is unconfirmed or just rumours. Scotland Cricket has clarified that the ICC hasn't reached out to them. But they have also made it clear that they are ready to participate, in case they are asked to do so. PCB has issued a direct threat to the ICC, saying that they will pull out from the tournament if Bangladesh is not allowed to change the venues. A lot depends on how the ICC chairman (Jay Shah) handles the issue.

What I want to know is that do they (the Law enforcement and regulators linked to those reporting websites) act with the same kind of vigour they do when let's say a service is reported to launder money from some Korean Hackers?
Very many times, even just a simple reporting to domain registrars doesn't seem to help take down the websites.

They suspended their campaign? I see an active campaign in the services board

They're government agencies and I think that they'll act on it once reported.

I agree, they can be added to the where people should report if it's about gambling. While the websites that are from the list, they're also for investments, frauds, etc.

Many of those are scams as well and they'll just suck money to the complainants believing that they're legitimate.

From what I see, there is still a few steps he can take with regulators in Curacao that he can do himself for a dispute resolution that won't cost him anything, and will actually cost roobet money if it is found he did no wrong and the money was taken in the wrong. Once these steps are exhausted then a lawyer is obviously the last resort. It's been a few months but he has not been escalating this properly during that time.

It will be pretty difficult to keep track of, though, because some accusations could be genuine while others are not. I still think the best places to keep track of such complaints are Casinoguru and Askgamblers. Unfortunately, they don't handle all the cases, but there is usually a good level of transparency in how the cases were resolved or not.
