Is degencity.com legit or a scam?
New crypto casino (launched early 2026) licensed in Comoros; limited operational history and one complaint about registration issues raise caution despite polished presentation.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
DegenCity operates as a crypto-only casino licensed by Anjouan Gaming in Comoros, launched in early 2026 after the domain was purchased for $49,999 in September 2025. The site displays a geo-block for US users and claims to offer 5000+ games with instant crypto deposits and withdrawals. Our scan found no malware or phishing indicators — the domain is clean across antivirus engines and browser blocklists, with valid SSL and a 6-year registration history. However, the business itself is brand-new: the Terms of Service date to February 2026, and independent review sites note it has no long-term track record for handling large payouts or disputes. A complaint on a related domain (degen-city.org) documented registration and email-contact failures. While affiliate review sites praise the game library and payout structure, and the operator shows active social-media presence with UFC influencer partnerships, the combination of newness, Comoros licensing (a jurisdiction with limited regulatory oversight), and the documented contact issue creates moderate risk for players.
