Gambling takes many forms.

If you and I flip a coin for $100, there's no scam.

It’s a scam when the house takes $1 from that $100 each time. These unlicensed internet gambling halls most certainly take their cut, whatever that amount is.

		It's only a scam if they don't disclose that. If the house brought the two people together I'd say it's fair as services rendered. I don't get mad when a bar charges more than the base cost of the alcohol.

		"Gaming"[0] companies are audited for the expected value each coin toss/slot machine roll etc. has - typically it's a high and unusually precise percentage, like e.g. 95.1681%. The scam in is advertising, that emphasizes how much you can potentially win, even though obviously on average the house takes those few percent each time. [0] A term they like to use to describe themselves.
