This is like a fractal scam, you've got gambling against the house (already a scam) with crypto (so there's no regulators to stop them rigging the games) and then instead of waiting for statistics to take their course they just run away with everyone's money.

Once you realize that many scams are scams against those looking to scam others it all becomes clear.

Then is it ethical to create a scam to scam people who are trying to scam others?

That's what the scammers tell themselves; but those trying to scam are often not the smartest of the bunch, so you are taking advantage of them in some way.

Gambling against the house is not in itself a scam as long as the games aren't rigged and the odds and payouts are as advertised. A game with negative EV is not a scam if it's entered into knowingly by a player.

For my money, games where people pay to win worthless digital goods are far more scammy than a fair game of Blackjack in Vegas where you actually might come out up.

The other aspects you mentioned are the scam.
