Casino Scam Checker — Verify Any Casino | Zykur
Use our research to verify whether any crypto casino is legitimate or a scam. Here are the definitive red flags:
Critical Red Flags
- No verifiable gambling license — Always check the license number directly at the regulator's website (MGA: mga.org.mt, UKGC: gamblingcommission.gov.uk, Curacao: gaming-curacao.com). Fake license logos are common.
- Vague ownership — Scam casinos hide who runs them. Legitimate casinos display company name, registration number, and registered address.
- Impossible bonuses — 500% welcome bonuses with 80x wagering requirements are designed to never pay out.
- Refused or frozen withdrawals — The #1 scam signal. Legitimate casinos pay withdrawals in hours to 2 days (crypto).
- Demanding KYC only on withdrawal — Real casinos verify identity during signup; requiring it only when you try to withdraw is a delay tactic.
- No provably fair option — For crypto casinos claiming to use blockchain, the absence of provably fair is suspicious.
- Many unresolved complaints — Check Trustpilot, Reddit (r/onlinegambling), Casino Guru complaint database, and AskGamblers.
- Inconsistent RTPs — If actual game performance seems far below published RTPs across many sessions, the RNG may be manipulated.
How to Verify a License
- Find the license number displayed on the casino's website (usually in the footer)
- Visit the regulator's verification page directly (don't follow links from the casino's site)
- Search for the exact license number and confirm the casino name matches
- Check the license status — it should be Active, not Expired or Revoked
Already Been Scammed?
- File a complaint with the casino's licensing authority with documentation
- Report to r/onlinegambling with evidence to warn others
- Submit to Casino Guru's complaint service
- Contact your cryptocurrency exchange if the funds are recent
