How to gamble safely on DonutSMP
Gambling on DonutSMP happens with in-game money, between players: games run by other players, gambling machines they build, and casino websites that use DonutSMP money. This guide covers how it works, where it goes wrong, and how to keep your money safer.
Gamble only with money you can afford to lose. Every game here is luck, and over time the house side comes out ahead.
The main risk: you have to trust someone
When you gamble with another player, you pay them first, or both of you pay into a game, and the winner gets paid out afterwards. Nothing in the game forces the other side to pay you. If they log off, keep the money or rigged the game, there's nothing you can do.
So the real question when you gamble on DonutSMP isn't the game. It's who holds the money, and can you check that the result was fair?
ikeacpvp: the old "safe" way
For a long time the safest way to gamble on DonutSMP was with ikeacpvp, one of the best-known DonutSMP players. His YouTube channel is full of DonutSMP videos, and players trusted him to pay out.
He has since left DonutSMP and works on his own server now, BalSMP, which he founded in 2026 together with KlingMC. That means the player most people trusted for gambling on DonutSMP isn't there any more.
How to gamble more safely
- Only bet what you can lose. Keep the money for your farms, gear and orders separate.
- Know who holds the money. Gamble with someone who has a long track record of paying, or with a site that pays out automatically - never with a stranger who asks you to pay first.
- Check the result can be verified. A fair game can show you how the result was made. Player-built gambling machines can be rigged - there are YouTube videos showing how to build one.
- Count the 2% tax. Since November 11, 2026, every
/paycosts the sender 2% on top. Paying into a game and getting paid out both go through/pay- see the DonutSMP 2% tax. - Never give anyone your password or account. No gambling game needs it. Signing in with your name and a payment is enough.
- Check DonutSMP's rules. The server's rules are on donutsmp.net. Read them before you gamble large amounts.
