Topic: 21.5 BTC TAKEN BY SPORTSBET.IO - page 3. (Read 8313 times)

It already exists!


I was contacted by Satoshidice after I called out their scam and they saw the necessity to move to a new domain.


Powerbet is beaten, I have everything. The only problem is that victims are brain washed and do not want to spend anything. They are happy to throw a ton of Bitcoins after scams, but they are not willing to spend some more to enforce their claim.

We should really start a community for busting gambling scams.If it hadn't for our continuous efforts and of course support of fellow DT members like Lauda and other's,I don't think they'd even take his accusations seriously.

Next up : Powerbet.io

Maybe he will remember what he said:



How does Curacao eGaming regulate you and where are these regulatory requirements stated?

That is not rocket science.100 other open source tools are available to detect double spends.

Why not only allow players who pass KYC to play on your site to avoid all the hassle ? Makes more sense ? That would ensure you only have trusted,verified players using your website.

Let him update here if he needs to get 21 bitcoins as the title of the thread.Regardless,case isn't closed completely,the feedback stay's as a warning.

I don't think red tag should be taken out,I have seen sportsbet online when complainant was posting in their official thread he should posted that he will give answer in a proper time  instead of ignoring the complainant post,just when the issue escalate that he posted here,you have a very bad excuse in my opinion.

Hi TrumpD,

We’re sorry, but we will not go into details of how we (or other bitcoin casinos and sportsbooks) detect potential double spenders or our security procedures.

Further we take every incident on a case by case basis and thoroughly investigate everything; one of those things include the player being able to pass KYC. 

The OP has now responded to us and sent us a bitcoin address for the original deposit (15btc) to be returned to, which our accounting team will do tomorrow, so we  consider this case closed.

Cheers,
sportsbet.io

I get you, but I think you misunderstood my question. In this case if the OP had lost 5btc, would you refund 10btc instead of 15btc? And btw his transaction confirmed so you cannot prove doublespend. Saying he did, does not prove he did.

Regards.

Hi TrumpD,

If a multi accounting fraudulent player lost their chips and committed double spending, then the deposit wouldn't have confirmed on the blockchain and therefore there would be nothing to refund.

Cheers,
sportsbet.io

Would you have offered a full refund if the OP had lost some of his deposit?

You keep claiming a double spent transaction without showing any proof. It isn't true simply because you say so, back it up.

At least the Op gets their deposit back if your offer is genuine. Other bettors beware though, this can happen to you to whenever they feel like it.

Great. I retire what I said earlier in the thread here and will continue to promote you through my bets. Cheers.

UPDATE: apologies for the late reply, we are human as well, and enjoyed the Easter break.

OP poster has been notified of repeated serious ID verification failure and following double spending fraudulent behavior, we have decided to close his account and offered to return his deposit of 15 BTC.

Sportsbet.io indeed allows instant betting at 0 confirmation deposits on blockchain for player experience (except for known double spending patterns) and instant withdrawals after 3 confirmations of initial deposit.  As any other BTC gambling operator offering the same, can attest to, there is a significant amount of abuse attempts around and we are simply preventing fraud here.

In a perfect world, we don't like having to KYC our players, except when absolutely necessary, and especially when certain players groups make multiple accounts and attempt to fraud us, through double spending.

We believe the experience for the player is best when they can play instantly with 0 confirmations, however, we then need to mitigate fraud, which includes knowing our customer and ensuring there are no multi accounters.

Regarding regulatory – sportsbet.io is regulated by Curaçao license as stated in https://sportsbet.io/about/gaming-licence, and we do have regulatory requirements to follow, which we continue to do so.

Best regards,
sportsbet.io

It's a shame that "licensed" operators are stooping to this level. Fraudulent activity is naturally going to cause accounts to be suspended and should void ALL bets, not simply winnings but even losing. Very few casinos actually just close accounts and refund deposits, it's so tempting to just take everything from the moral high ground.

If you catch a thief, it is illegal for you to take his wallet. One wrong does not give you a Free Pass at one wrong.

Lesson learnt for all: check terms and conditions always. Always ask and confirm with customer support before depositing anything if you need to verify at some point.

We should just be careful they will come out a new site and a new name this kind of script and hosting will only cost them 1 Bitcoin they can come out with many more and do the same thing to again just like what happen to this guy so beware or better stop gambling.

This will be my last week sponsoring them which ends on Thursday morning, if they don't clear up their name. I am sorry to quit such a good partnership (they paid me more than 3 BTC so far without problems) but until things become good enough again, this is my last week sponsoring them. If you wanna get my tips from Thursday on unfortunately you will have to pay a fee to know my bets. Cheers everyone.

I think sporstbet.io just doesn't seems to care about their reputation anymore, I wonder why they don't give everyone a proper explanation on this issue?

This is not the first time that any gambling site have ignored to send the bitcoin of a user and blocked his account and not replying to any of his messages. This all is happening when a user deposit high btc and when they are won they get this problem. That is why it is not recommend to invest high btc as this will create scam for their site
But i think we all of the community users should do something so that next time no one can do this type of fraud

So this is what it boiled down to,
 ->Sportsbet.io doesn't wanna return his bitcoins.
 ->They don't consider it important to reply here anymore or update us when they're totally surviving on this community.
 ->We as a community should come together and fight such casinos.
 ->Please spread awareness about sports.bet.io everywhere possible.Let all gambling blogs know about their scam.
 ->Please share the message in gambling discussion boards.

Not taking their side, but perhaps because of Good Friday and the weekend. I have had a delay in response from support because it was a weekend, and am aware they do not have a working back end team during the weekend. But no way I am taking their side. Should wait for one more day.

I see the Gambling section flooded with gamblers sponsoring sportsbet.io

1. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-supremo-free-premiums-7-consecutive-weeks-in-profit-1580020
2. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/free-and-premium-tips-all-sports-with-medium-and-high-oddssummary-1492w-432l-1435334
3. etc..

I suggest some responsible member to suggest these punters to stop sponsoring them as they(sportsbet.io) has nothing to lose now so they will eventually run away with their money, they will probably not rat you for 0.1 or 1 btc , but as soon as you make a big deposit they will scam you.

so, any member who is in DT should warn punters not to sponsor scam sites.

Considering the informations bellow :
 
They are indeed linked, by the same licensing company who is maybe the owner of the platforms. It looks like it is a network of scam casinos with the same schems repeating. Like the serial scamers we have in the altcoin section.
