<t>You nailed the core problem. A reserve address only shows assets. Real proof of reserves needs both sides, assets AND liabilities, usually a Merkle tree of player balances so each user can confirm their balance was included, plus signed control of the reserve wallets.<br/>

I have not seen a ...

<t>Adding the technical angle nobody asks about. A license tells you nothing about whether the games are provably fair. You can be fully Curacao licensed and run a closed RNG you can't audit, or be Anjouan stamped and offer client seed plus server seed hash verification on every bet.<br/>
<br/>
So I ...

<t>Good catch. Technical adds:<br/>
<br/>
Check the SSL cert details, clones often throw up a brand-new free cert issued days ago. Not proof alone but it lines up with a fresh scam domain.<br/>
<br/>
Provably fair section: real operators publish the seed/hash verification flow. Clones usually copy ...

<t>If the client seed isn't user settable, I just don't play it as provably fair, full stop. The whole point is that you contribute entropy they can't predict when they commit the hash. Site sets both seeds and you're back to trusting them, which is fine, just don't call it provable.<br/>
<br/>
The ...

<t>Good list. I'd add the fairness check if they advertise provably fair. Don't take the badge at face value, open the verifier. You should be able to see the server seed hash up front, set your own client seed, and after the round reveal the server seed and confirm the hash matches.<br/>

If ...

<t>Re Sam, it's not gone forever in most cases. If the site's deposit address is a normal wallet they control on the chain you sent to, support can usually credit it once you send a tx hash. The truly lost ones are when you send to a contract or an address that only exists on the other chain. So not ...

<t>Solid. One I'd bolt on: max bet while the bonus is live. Doesn't change the turnover number but if it's $2 and your normal bet is $10, your rounds-per-hour assumption is off by 5x and suddenly the expiry math falls apart.<br/>
<br/>
Also if the site's provably fair, I verify a couple rounds ...

<t>B, easily, and it's not close from a verification standpoint.<br/>
<br/>
the whole point of provably fair is the server commits to a seed via the hash BEFORE you bet, then you check the reveal matches. with A you control your client seed but you're verifying one result at a time, which is tedious ...
