Here in this incident hungerstyle did it on purpose. There is evidence in the payout address.
You may have noticed that for several days now we are asking hungerstyle to post the payout address used for this bet, and he avoided doing it before eventually disappearing.
There is a reason why he didn't want to post the payout address for this bet.
He knew that once he posts it, it will be clear to all that he is a criminal and that this was a fraud attempt.
If the address somehow proves he is guilty, why not just post the address? I don't think he's going to.
I was thinking you thought there was a 3rd party pretending to be the original better, but not sure what's going on here.
It's a standard universal rule for Bitcoin Sportbooks to confiscate coins when a fraudulent activity is involved.
Here is a quote from the rules of your favorite book :
If Nitrogen Sports believes that any customer has intentionally acted in bad faith or has engaged in fraudulent activity, Nitrogen Sports reserves the right to take any steps necessary.
Here is another example :
If you are found to be cheating, colluding, or attempting to cheat at any game offered by BitcoinRush.io your account will be closed, and the funds tied to the account will be confiscated by the operators of BitcoinRush.io
As you can see, we all have the same rule, and rightfully so.
These are not rules that are followed literally, they just give you right right to do whatever you want. It's lawyer stuff, since you all are unregulated, you already have that right, so really there's no need for them.
I can tell you that if you were regulated in New Jersey, for example, you would either pay the player or pay the state.
The house is responsible for protecting themselves against the possibility of fraud. If they were to potentially profit off these situations, it would create an environment prone to corruption. Casinos would have motivation to encourage cheating.
Question for DirectBet: What would you have done if HungryStyle lost his bet?
Would you have been proactive in telling him he was guilty of fraud?
That the bet was void and he would not have been paid if he won?
Or would you say nothing and hope for another deposit from him.
Members here should be aware that only reason why Peeps Place singles us out is because we refused to pay him for advertisement, while books that pay him are "protected" from negative feedback and downgrades.
Peeps Place, for transparency, can you please disclose the list of Sportbooks that pay you to advertise and promote them ?
This is a problem if you have been activly requesting payment from books, Peeps.
It would explain the funny way you've handled Betcoin issues
(Example)I hope it's not true, but if it is, full disclosure of any money or favors accepted by peeps belongs in OP so each player can take it into consideration when making their own opinion.
Edit: I didn't realize peeps has his own site, thought this was referring just to the thread.
THe site has obvious banners, enough for players to assume peeps is profiting off this, so most of my assumptions were wrong.
