Goto your ftp account loging in using any of the file transfer protocol software. Eg filezilla! Delet the files inside public_html file
When deleting leave the. Common Gateway Interface, (CGI)file. After that run your site!
If it refuse to show. Concentrate more on the index.
Hope this helps

There is always an index.php/html file inside your public_html/ or wwwroot/ for security reasons so as not to display your root directory.

All you need to do is login to you cpanel/panel and goto public_html/ or wwwroot/ you will see index.html just delete it or rename it to anything like indexold.html

I was trying to warn you about this that why i said rename and not delete because if you delete index.php which is the wordpress's index file then it will not work your hosting index might be index.html.

All i will advice is you install the wordpress again, sure now it will work

My guess is that you installed WordPress using softaculous. If this is the case the WordPress that you installed was installed in a directory which is usually wp by default.
Presently your website will be accessible via http://casinowhizkid.com/wp/ if you want your website to be accessible via http://casinowhizkid.com/ the easiest way to do it is to delete the current version via softaculous and reinstall WordPress again.
This time make sure the option that ask which directory that you want to install WordPress is set to / instead of wp

If you are stuck feel free to ask, am here to help.
