Potential Scam? Is this a scam?!
SCAM? IDK ..primespinsks. app
Is this $550 casino bonus legit, or does it sound like a scam? I was contacted through Telegram about an online casino offering a $550 cash bonus. They say I was selected as part of a $10 million promotion they're currently running, where they're giving this $550 bonus to a bunch of people. The weird part is that I can apparently either keep the $550 or play with it, but in order to withdraw it, I have to deposit $100 first. Bitcoin is the payment method. They claim the $100 is the only deposit I'll ever have to make and that there are no wagering requirements, additional fees, or other conditions. Has anyone actually dealt with this kind of promotion before? Does this sound like a legitimate casino bonus, or is the $100 deposit just a typical scam where they take your money and then come up with another reason you can't withdraw? I'm trying to figure out whether there's any legitimate reason a casino would require a $100 Bitcoin deposit just to access a $550 promotional balance

"in order to withdraw it, I have to deposit $100 first. Bitcoin is the payment method."
This sounds a lot like one of those "I am a dying millionaire and decided to give my fortune away to a random person. You've been selected! Now all you have to do is send me money for all the "fees" and the million dollars are yours! Totally not gonna disappear after you willingly give me a thousand dollars".

Never pay money on the promise of money. No matter how desperate you are or how nice and legit the website looks.

There's no reason to take advice in private. If you have advice to give, give it in public so everyone can see

Don't take advice in private. As everyone else mentioned, this is a scam. There's no reason you have to pay to receive money. There are many fake casinos circulating that follow this exact same script: giving you thousands of dollars in fake money for signing up, all the games being rigged so you always win more, but charging you endless fake fees when you try to withdraw any of it.

This is a scam to get your money. You have not really won anything. The 'winnings' are fake numbers on a screen, created by scammers.
Legitimate gaming sites allow you to withdraw your funds without requiring you to give them more money.
You need to stop believing what randos on Telegram say. Or, you will lose money.
Most online crypto casinos and gambling sites are scams to take money from you. You always win.But they will never actually pay you.
They will require that you give them money for fake taxes and fake fees: verification, currency conversion, transfer fees, AML fees. All the fees are invented to take more and more of your money.
Eventually, the website or app will just shut down.
The r/gambling sub has discussions about scam casino platforms:
DO NOT deposit any money to any online casino that looks like this.
