Honestly, I think casinos themselves are already a scam by design. The biggest trick is that they never formally disclose that the odds are always—without exception—in favor of the house. Every game is mathematically structured to ensure the casino profits in the long run, while players are lured in with flashy lights and the illusion of winning. That imbalance is rarely made transparent, and most people walk in without realizing they’re statistically guaranteed to lose over time. So even without shady dealers or rigged machines, the entire setup is fundamentally exploitative. A Scam!

I played on slots that were rigged in such a way that it was simply impossible to win. I realized this in time and stopped going to that establishment. The establishment was, let's say, semi-underground, and everyone who played there understood the risks. But in general, this can be considered fraud, despite the fact that no one was forced to play.

I thought they did, and for a long time. But they actually don't, it would be very dangerous. You can easily look it up.

Several times, I was not paid my winnings on several sites where I played. But I don't consider this to be fraud. The withdrawal conditions were such that it simply did not make sense to continue playing on these platforms. So I just forgot about the money.

Apparently nothing at all:
- No, casinos do not pump oxygen into the air to keep patrons awake; this is a common myth.
The Myth Explained
The belief that casinos pump extra oxygen into the air to keep players alert and encourage them to gamble longer is a long-standing myth. This idea has been popularized in various forms of media, including literature, but it is not based on fact. Casinos do maintain a cool environment to help keep patrons awake, but they do not introduce additional oxygen into the air.

Reasons Why It's Not True
- Fire Hazard: Increasing the oxygen concentration in a casino would create a significant fire risk. Higher levels of oxygen can make any open flame burn hotter and faster, which is particularly dangerous in environments where smoking is common.
2 - Cost Implications: Pumping oxygen into a casino would be extremely expensive. The volume of air in a typical casino is vast, and supplying enough oxygen to raise its concentration even slightly would require a substantial investment in equipment and ongoing costs.
2 - Regulatory Issues: Most casinos are heavily regulated, and introducing oxygen into the air could violate safety regulations. This makes it impractical and potentially illegal for casinos to attempt such a practice.

If anybody ever asks you for money while you are in or near a casino - then it is probably a scam.
I hate when someone I don't know comes up to me and gives me a very sad story about how they need money.
It is part of my problem of being identified as a winning poker player.

Yep, that one is true. You will never see a single clock or anything that would indicate "what time it is" in a casino. And yes, that cannot be considered as scam. Let alone that everyone nowadays carries a phone in their pocket.

Online the scam is when you realize that this casino doesn't pay at all , when the actual RTP is zero lol . Or when they deny you a withdrawal , the same applies to scam poker rooms . The small online poker rooms or casinos are more likely to scam you than the big ones .

"Live" online roulette in various forms. When you go on a lucky streak and all of a sudden the video quality starts deteriorating and glitching so you can't see what's going on with the wheel mid-spin. The most blatant one is video feed cuts and complete changes of the wheel followed by sudden streaks of bad luck. Then there is the ball doing bizarre things that is against the laws of physics. I've read a fair share on roulette table manipulation with live roulette, with magnets and motors, but the possibilities with online play are far greater.

Turns out air contains 21% oxygen, was supposed to be a joke. I'd stick to my day job, but I'm retired

Several times I came across betting sites that refused to pay out my money, even though my account was verified. I didn't lose much, but these were definitely cases of fraud. As for casinos, I only had one case where I couldn't withdraw my funds, they refused without explaining why.
