One of the great things about working in the player complaints area is that we get to see fairly early on what new scams and trickery players are being subjected to. And so it is we have a new scam to bring to our reader’s attention:

If a casino tells you you’ve won a shedload of money — millions in many cases — and asks you to make a deposit to “release” or “unlock” your winnings, or “verify” your identity, are you being scammed?

It's a fake casino/scam, at most I would expect you to have to deposit like $20 via skrill to have that available as a withdrawal method and no extra cost. Once you pay the money they have another excuse and ask for more money until you no longer pay them

They display the license for Roobet, afaik nobody else uses that.

Malwarebytes is also flagging it:

We strongly advise you not to deposit any funds. As per our articles, legitimate casinos do not ask for large deposits to withdraw.
