It's all sorted with scams - you open an online casino for 20k euro and close it on the highest point with players money or just do not paying any big winnings due to duplicates or any other reason. Half-scams - are different. They are cheating more wisely and this is the most dangerous point in them.
How half-scamming casinos operate?
Let's specify how to detect them (it can be any, not all points should fit). Pretty sure any experienced player will fit some casinos in his mind:
- There is a lot of spam from different casinos after registering in any of them. Such casinos like a lot to send something like a 200% bonus up to 1000 euro with ONLY 20x wagering. In fact, it will be bonus + deposit wagering + maximum withdrawal amount will be 3x from the bonus amount. Of course, only the lowerest level of half-scam casinos will do that.
- Terms and conditions have a lot of traps like personal withdrawals limits, no payments during self-exclusion or cooling off period (as an alternative no ability to put a limit as responsible gambling at all) and all things in this way.
- Aggressive advertisement via phone: they are calling with their Super VIP manager and "only for you and only today" then can offer "super VIP mega bonus" and then comes shit like 50% with 50x bonus + deposit or something in this way. They using different phone numbers, so you cannot avoid those calls with blocking the numbers or adding them to the blacklist. If you win and put a payout request - all are gone. Nobody calling and you cannot reach anybody.
- Verification can last 3-5 days easily. On this point, there is a special thing like: if you're not writing to them - they do not ask for the new documents. If so - they will ask for new and new things: for any they take 24-48 hours to approve.
- No gambling limits at all. You cannot put a deposit or loss limit. Here are two types of trap: you cannot put any limit when your balance is 1$ and more or your withdrawals are on hold with any applied limits. There are casinos where you cannot put any limit at all, "because they do not have this technical ability to do it.
- Soma casinos go further and put to their terms such point" "casino can manage withdrawal limits, depending on players activity. That means - if you will with 10 000 euro - they will pay to you 100 euro monthly "because your activity is low at the moment (you do not play and waiting for the payout)". That will last until you will lose all.
