Possible scam?....

[Bluffington]

Hey guys, I was just playing on True Fortune Casino ( I was emailed with 10 free spins ) so I went to make a deposit after to check the site out. It seemed nice and I was somewhat happy with play/pay. My deposit via credit/debit was denied so I said ehh screw it I won't play anymore. Within 30sec I got a message from the casino asking me if I had cashapp.... I told them I'm not going to deposit that way and I'm good. She then said, "I was going to say bitcoin". I get people use bitcoin etc to deposit with.. but to message me first and ask if I had cashapp seems sketchy, not 1 other casino ever tried that with me. She stopped messaging after I told her that my bank is weary about that and asks me before any purchase is made ( to wart her off of trying). Am I crazy or is this site scam-a-licious?! (I really don't know that's why I didn't come on here claiming they are without any knowledge)

Whilst the cashapp thing is a massive red flag on its own, this casino is unlicenced and possibly used a fake licence in the past, so you would be advised to avoid it on that basis alone.

Even if they were licenced and didn't have the aforementioned red flags, their terms and conditions are awful, below are a few excerpts:

• Deposits under 250 currency units have a max withdrawal of 10x the deposit. This isn't a term for deposit bonuses it is a term for pure cash.
• withdrawals approval time may take 5-18 business days
• 10-40 fees on all withdrawals
• the casino considers adults to be 25 or older and anyone younger is not permitted to play.

The email you got is likely from some affiliate marketer who has bought your data after a previous casino sold it.

If you are looking for trustworthy casinos to play at, I recommend heading over to the Accredited Casinos page here on Casinomeister and having a look around. CasinoMax and 3Dice appear to be at the top of the list for your location.

I strongly suspect they're doing this to protect their fraudulent card processors - they don't want it to be clogged up by smaller deposits so they introduce extremely predatory terms to deter it.

Additionally, 18 business days (24 calendar days) for approval of withdrawals is pretty obviously setting a trap - you either lose it back waiting, or it'll be referred back to finance or fraud a few times (48... 72... 96 days) until they've got the money out from the payment processor and/or your rights to a chargeback expire.

Looking into the terms myself, I recognise these ridiculous terms from recent discussions in other threads...

• Claims to have a 8048/JAZ license, but with no supporting evidence - the Antillephone validator says no license, and they don't have a CGCB temporary license either.
• Balance is forfeit after 90 days of "inactivity"
• $10k withdrawal limit per month - but $1500 per individual withdrawal (which may take 24+ days)
• Free chips taint cash balances
• A bunch of no-name providers, which says a lot when Pragmatic will offer their games to any clip joint with a pulse.

Run away... run away very quickly...

<edit>Found my post - a site called "This Is Vegas". So there is probably a network of these fake sites...</edit>

The site is more bent than a Barrymore pool party - run (or swim) away as fast as you can. It wasn't a woman on chat to you, they use female names as subconsciously people trust them more. More likely an AI transvestite..

• Balance is forfeit after 90 days of "inactivity"

Ooft, didn't catch that one whilst quickly scrolling through, relatively common term but usually its a year I think. No doubt people have had their balances forfeit whilst trying to get their money out and not playing in the meantime! I also think they used to have 500/week withdrawals so would have been even worse than the current limits.
