Strange but I can't understand. As far as I see, there are two main types of claims - xbit holds all withdrawals (including deposit) and xbit holds winnings only. As far as I understand, this relates to cases when players break rules. However, on the other side, I can't understand why there are not many complaints about this case with other casinos or bookies that are also presented on BTTalk. I don't believe that xbit is a complete scam, but still can't understand why so many people are complaining in this thread and other threads with other gambling sites have no complaints at all!
One of my assumptions is that the vast majority of complaints that appear on Bitcointalk are made by few people who operate multi accounts and are continously trying to cheat 1xbit.
This assumption is due to the fact that the modus operandi is very similar:
- complaints refer to almost the same (you noticed it yourself)
- most of it is live betting on tennis or table tennis (I'm sure there are other possibilities as well, it's just the most popular sports for cheating)
- the way of writing the text is very similar (capital letters, grammar, arrangement of texts, preparation of screenshots in advance, very good knowledge about other complaints etc.)
- behavior in response to posts (for example, using very similar primitive insults)
- similar amounts of money (mostly between $500 - $800)
- spam - check history of posts of this accounts
Spam that they make everyday from around 10-15 accounts makes it seem like there are hundreds of complaints, and in fact, it's just the same complaints coming in over and over for months.
I think that some time ago, someone found a way to cheat 1xbit (later maybe sold that method to others). 1xbit has improved security and is now better at catching cheaters.
Note that when cheater is caught, his deposit is returned, so he don't really lose anything. He just sets up a new account and tries to cheat with this same money again, but anyway he can accuse bookmaker.. It makes that with every new account he can make new complaint.
The problem for the cheater is when 1xbit discovers that this is his new account and he already withdraw equivalent of deposit from his other account.
1xbit does not want to show evidence of how detected cheaters, so as not to simplify bypass security for them.
Scammers are angry that they have been caught and they don't even know how, so they attack 1xbit with complaints out of anger. (or maybe because they can not sell anymore their method of cheating)
These are just my assumptions, but after about 7 months of observing this thread, I am firmly convinced that I am close to the truth.
Edit. NOT ALL complaints are made by cheaters! However, in my opinion, most come from them.
