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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Don't forget the final dimension of the scam where they also scam the affiliates by doing a rug-pull. Scam-ception. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ironic that crypto gives people the tools for provably fair gambling |
