FAQ

Can I get scammed by an online casino?

Short answer: Yes, unlicensed or poorly-regulated sites can and do withhold winnings — sticking to operators licensed by a recognized regulator is the single biggest protection you have.

Detailed explanation

The risk isn't that a licensed casino's games are secretly rigged — RNG testing makes that unlikely at reputable operators. The real risk is on the business side: unlicensed or weakly-regulated sites can delay or simply refuse withdrawals, impose surprise terms after the fact, or shut down without paying out. A recognized license gives you a regulator to complain to and, in some cases, a formal dispute-resolution process. Reading withdrawal terms and payment processing times before depositing, and avoiding operators with a pattern of unresolved player complaints, meaningfully reduces this risk.
