Personally I blist casino's when I see them because the casino always wins and I hate their spam. However, today I was in bastok and legendarytaru was running a casino by the AH. I ran by him and some people were rolling and then I see "omg" and the rolling stops. I go back to where legendarytaru was and he is gone. I ask rainman (the "omg" person) what happened and he said I bet 20k and legendarytaru dc'd.
If you want to take the chance of participating in a casino check the person out before you do. If I remember right this guy was hidden so he could have been a level one character...who knows. I probably will never participate in one unless I have money to throw away but if I did I would check the person and would only participate if the character was a high enough lvl and had rank.
I just posted this because I hate to see others get ripped off. I know there is risk involved with casinos but nobody has the right to run off with someone elses money. It's a little silly anwyays because in the longrun the casino always wins.
******EDIT*****
I saw legendarytaru again today in bastok so I chatted with him and tried to chat with rainman. Legendarytaru this time showed as an rdm18/mnk7. I asked him what happened and he claims his comp crashed and he has paid rainman. Rainman was away so I coudn't verify this with him.
