Exposing fraud, lies, and manipulation in Luck.io.
This page contains verified evidence and documented proof of illegal,
deceptive, and unethical activities conducted by Luck.io.
NOT DECENTRALIZED
Luck.io claims decentralization, but audits reveal centralization. The ProvablyFair.org audit shows the RNG uses Proov’s VRF system under team control: all VRF signer keys are operated by the Luck.io/Proov team, with a permissioned oracle network closed to outsiders and no public node instructions. Only four fixed oracle keys exist, indicating team control.
Explainer: This is like a bank claiming to switch to a public ledger where everyone can see transactions, but the managers still control all verifications behind closed doors - not truly open or community-run.
Bets start off-chain, with only final VRF results on-chain, allowing potential manipulation. No on-chain safeguards exist: no commit-reveal scheme, no pre-commitment of bets and nonces, no timestamp or slot binding for VRF, and no duplicate nonce protections. The custom seed is cosmetic, with no cryptographic effect or on-chain storage.
No oracle governance or rotation occurs on-chain, keeping control off-chain. The Halborn audit confirms critical actions like bet initiation, outcome determination, and settlements happen off-chain via backend servers, requiring trust in servers to avoid collusion. "The on-chain programs are used for settlement only. Critical actions... are handled by off-chain backend servers."
Explainer: Imagine trusting a referee who's also the team owner - the off-chain servers are like private back rooms where key decisions are made without public oversight.
This off-chain reliance creates centralization risks, undermining true decentralization.
NOT PROVABLY FAIR
Luck.io claims provable fairness via VRF and on-chain outcomes, but audits show lacks in verifiable mechanisms. The ProvablyFair.org audit reveals oracles can selectively publish seeds, re-rolling privately for favorable results without detection, as bets initiate off-chain.
Explainer: This is like a card dealer shuffling under the table - you only see the final hand, but can't verify if it was fair.
No player-verifiable safeguards: no commit-reveal tying seeds to bets, no on-chain pre-commitments, no timestamp enforcement, and duplicate nonces possible. Custom seed has no impact on outcomes. Manipulation simulation showed re-rolling to change wins to losses, appearing legitimate on-chain.
The Halborn audit notes off-chain handling of core logic like outcomes and settlements, forcing trust in backend servers. Quote: "users must trust that the core logic is correctly implemented and that the backend servers will not collude." This prevents full on-chain verification, making fairness not provable.
Explainer: It's like playing a game where the rules are hidden, and you have to take the house's word that everything is above board - no real proof you can check yourself.
The RNG is partially decentralized at best, with operator capability for undetected influence.
Apart from audit written by ProvablyFair.org, a reputable CT user foobar also published same findings, on June 23rd 2025, disclosing that Luck.io is The Latest Casino Scam.
SHADY HISTORY
Luckio is a new casino that is promising "Fairness and Transparency," but based on their previous projects, they are nothing of the sort.
The first casino they created was named CSGODiamonds. Their team hired top influencers, and then fed those influencers the outcomes of their upcoming bets. The streamer would then know they could place a large bet and win, creating the illusion that "anyone could win." Faking wins is an extremely unethical way to bring users into a casino, but that didn't stop this team.
You can find more information on X provided by DuelPulse on Luckio/Rollbit scams.
After the sudden closure of CSGODiamonds, the same team launched Rollbit in February of 2020. Rollbit used the same tactics they used with CSGODiamonds and hired a few very large influencers. One influencer, Ayezee, is widely known for using fake balances during his streams. These fake balances give his viewers the illusion that he is winning large amounts of money, but this is entirely fake. There is no risk to the streamer, no risk to the casino, but many vulnerable viewers emulate this behavior and large betting sizes, and consequently lose everything.
Two years ago, Rollbit was caught using a provably fair system that could be rigged. When first confronted about this, their owner denied the allegations and continued to use the riggable system. Rollbit knew what they were doing, but they needed to run their scam as long as possible. Once more people were made aware of this scam, they were forced to quietly update their system.
One of Rollbit's most egregious scams was launching the cryptocurrency RLB. When a casino launches a coin like this, there is very little benefit to the players. They create coins like this to extract as much money from the public as they can.
The casino will "airdrop" a small portion of the coin to players as a "bonus," but this bonus was the result of farming their players with a high house edge. The remaining portion of the coin is held by the casino. The secondary purpose of the airdrop is to increase the holder count of their coin. A high holder count will attract buyers from outside the casino space. The casino will then artificially inflate the price of the coin to create FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). When more and more buyers invest, this is when the scam takes place. The casino will then start selling the coins they allocated for themselves into the high buy volume. This process ultimately crashes the price, leaving the buyers "holding the bag." This is exactly what happened with the RLB token, and it is currently down 78% from its all-time high, but Rollbit is richer than ever.
Locked Balances at Rollbit and Stolen Funds are also widely reported at Rollbit. There are many documented cases where Rollbit would demand KYC (Know Your Customer) verification after a big win. They would make this process as difficult as possible for the player, even demanding users hop on a video call scheduled weeks away. After the player went through this entire process, Rollbit would still seize the funds in many cases.
Two years ago, a Rollbit user was accused of making a second account to avoid a self-exclusion. The user was not evading a ban, but even if that were true, a legitimate casino would have banned the second account and allowed the user to withdraw the funds. Rollbit decided they had the right to lock his funds. These funds were frozen for two years, until the user reached out to a different casino for help. After the other casino applied some pressure, Rollbit finally released the user's funds, but there are many other cases of this happening that are still unresolved.
This type of track record is not the type of behavior you would like to see when choosing a casino. Provably fair issues, locked funds, and exploitative token launches are just the tip of the iceberg for this company.
FUDDING & BOTTING COMPETITORS
Luck.io has been using X bot accounts to spread false rumors about Duel (a rival casino) because they cannot compete in the free marketplace. Duel's owner Monarch has a reputation of going after the worst of the worst casinos and exposing their shady tactics.
The Luckio bots have been spreading false rumors to try and make Duel look bad. Some of the tactics they are using:
- Distributing FAKE company emails
- False accusations of accounts being closed/funds withheld
The Luckio team is stating that this email came from Duel and was sent to one of their players. This is blatantly false. This has never occured.
These bot accounts are also continually posting under any post that even mentions Duel. They claim a "friend" has money frozen on Duel. This is also blatantly false. Duel never freezes anyone's funds, and when staff confronts them about getting any information, they have none to offer.
One of their biggest attacks was paying a corrupt X employee to ban EVERY official account related to Duel. They banned the official Duel account, CSGOEmpire account, and even their owner's account Monarch. When Monarch created a new account, it was open for 5 days until he commented on a Luckio tweet. 2 minutes later, his new account was also banned. The luckio staff will stop at nothing to silence its competition.
State of the accounts of: @Duel, @CSGOEmpire & Monarch.
ENDGAME
It wasn’t built for you. The platform known as Luck.io was founded by a clique of the classic Web3 “bros” - funded by a cocktail of hype, adrenaline, and ego, not serious gaming ethics. Behind the slick UI, the promise of “provably fair” slots, and the non-custodial wallet wizardry, the real design was always about one thing: extracting value.
Today, the narrative is clear. The model goes: lure in players with flashing graphics, no KYC, “wallet-connect and win” messaging. Then drop in a native token (yes, the inevitable “Luck.io token” or $LUCK) and build an economy around it that looks shiny, but in fact shifts risk onto the players. Once the token is launched, the house edge is baked in, the hype clicks into gear, and the flyer players bear the cost.
In crypto, this playbook is familiar. What the gang behind Luck.io are doing mirrors what more than a few rug-pull projects have done before: build a sexy deck, hype a token, promise upside; funnel user deposits into the platform’s growth engine; use influencer marketing and social proof to attract more wallets; launch the token, have the insiders take positions, then pull value out as the player base keeps feeding the machine.
Rug-pulls work exactly like this: developers create a token, hype it up, then either dump their holdings or abandon the project, leaving investors with worthless coins. With Luck.io, the warning signs are all there. Massive influencer spend, rapid bet volume, and claims of “non-custodial” and “provably fair” that aren’t backed by transparent code.
So what does the endgame look like? A token launch tied to the platform’s growth narrative (“stake your $LUCK, get rewards, rise in the leaderboard”). A rush of new players, drawn in by FOMO and slick marketing, deeper deposits and bets playing into the house’s mechanics. Liquidity and token value rise, insiders front-run or dump; meanwhile, ordinary players are the ones left holding hot bags.
Eventually value extraction kicks in - either via token collapse, liquidity pull, or subtle changes that favor the house over the player. The “bros” behind the scenes walk away with profits, while the wider player base faces losses, getting stuck in a system designed to benefit the operator.
In short: The house doesn’t need to cheat in obvious ways. It just needs to structure the game so that the token-stake model and the betting ecosystem benefit the insiders. And you? You’re taking the risk.
Because once the token is central, the platform isn’t really about entertainment or fair play anymore. It’s about extraction.
