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?

We’re seeing a lot of this lately and the answer is simple: if the requested amount is anything more than £$€10-20 then the answer is likely “yes, you are...

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

Yes, it's fake. They use a generic theme that's being used by tens, hundreds or perhaps thousands of scam casinos.

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

Yes - Fake.

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.

Does anyone remember the member who posted a huge list of fake/scam websites on CM? I'm looking for that specific post. There's this casino I want to check, I'm skeptical about it.

if the site has any of the hallmarks (or similar ones) its probably a scam.

It really is a game of whack-a-mole right now with these new casinos, with AI heavily automating tasks I fear we will soon be consumed by more and more scam sites and bots promoting them because the cost to setup each one is so cheap.
