Dear Customers,

We do not enter into this kind of discussion, however I would like to underline few points.

1. Yes, we are proud to be the first Bitcoin bookmaker to be launched in 2011, when only few people knew about Bitcoin. The next Bitcoin sportsbook was launched 1 year after us.

2. Michael Hoshford is NOT CEO of Anonibet. In fact Anonibet does not have a CEO. We have 35 employees in total for the time being and we are actually hiring more people to grow further Anonibet.

3. The Deposit Bonus we are giving can be subject to abuse, we are perfectly aware of it. In fact we launched the Deposit Bonus in order to encourage NON-Bitcoin punters to switch to Bitcoin. We are fervent believers of Bitcoin, and we are putting all our efforts to promote it anywhere anytime. Unfortunately, some people pretending being from Bitcoin community are abusing our Deposit Bonus by placing 300 single bets per day on odds as little as 1.01 in order to make some extra Bitcoins. Bonus hunters only job is to place bets all day long to make few Bitcoins, this is a clear abuse and it is our right to cancel their bonus and bonus winnings (only).

4. These abusers will not stop Anonibet efforts to promote Bitcoin to NON-Bitcoin communities. We will introduce new terms and conditions in order to prevent them in the near future.


1. "Dear Customers,

We do not enter into this kind of discussion..."

Then you immediately launch into a 4 paragraph discussion.
A bit odd...


2.  " Yes, we are proud to be the first Bitcoin bookmaker to be launched in 2011, when only few people knew about Bitcoin. The next Bitcoin sportsbook was launched 1 year after us."

As goxcraft pointed out in  post 1527 in this thread, stating the above every time there is a questionable situation about your book, is ridiculous.
And it's also meaningless.

Well respected long time books such as BetCascade have gone under and stiffed people.
And Cascade's Lenny was well known and well liked and especially well respected as a standup guy by many of the biggest sportsbettors. He would have been at the head of the list of "Person/sportsbook Least Likely to Ever Stiff Customers".

Bernie Madoff who had the biggest Ponzi in history, had his scam going for many years and he was involved in NYC "high society" and his investors included many uber-wealthy prominent people.


3." Michael Hoshford is NOT CEO of Anonibet..."

Why stop there? Why not clarify? What is his position?

What donatello says. Now I feel I have been tricked in depositing, and maybe losing, my bitcoins, because you could and should have disabled giving out new deposit addresses. If you are having liquidity problems, don't take the MtGox road.. we all know where that went. Just be honest about it and declare yourself bankrupt (though I still somewhat hope everything will turn out to be 'alright')

Donatello,

You are having an interesting approach.

1. Do you think a company having liquidity problem will announce there are serious delays in depositing (Some of our customers may have not deposited because of that announcement this weekend).

2. We have no withdraw problem, we are processing all withdraws as usual.



Rather than criticize "my approach", you could update your post or even apologize for the wrong information.

I have no idea if it's a liquidity problem. I mentioned that as one possibility. Why then are you still accepting deposits? What's the point of allowing users to deposit when you know there is this issue? You tell me?

But as for your questions,

1.) Sure, because it's obvious right away that deposits aren't showing up. So you have no choice but to say something. A company with a liquidity issue would probably do exactly what you did, say something about it at the bottom of the website (rather than on the deposit page) and say that the delay is a lot smaller than it really is.

2.) Which doesn't speak anything to the possibility that you're using deposited money to make those payments.

Dear Valued Customers,

We are experiencing serious delays with instant deposits due to a wallet upgrade. Unfortunately we are obliged to process manually all deposits, our team is working very hard to reduce the delay. Unfortunately due to the huge amount of deposits on weekends, it may take few hours until your deposits are credited to your account.

We have extended the working hours of our Live Chat support from 8:00 GMT to 24:00 GMT in order to respond to your requests. Please do not hesitate to contact them for any question.

We would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank your for your patience.

It may take a few hours? Do you know how to count, more than 20 hours is not a few hours. And your email response to me was that you are processing all withdrawals manually when I was asking about deposit. And this thread looks interesting as well . Affiliate problems, Bonus problems, hack problems, how on earth are you running your site , do you operate from a beerhall?

Over three days for me. I've asked to cancel the deposit and be sent back to me, and they say they can't do that.

Please, nobody deposit onto anonibet.

The responsible thing to do, if this is really some kind of wallet problem, would be to not allow deposits. Nobody is expecting to wait several days when they make a deposit. And the only warning is something posted on the bottom of their website (rather than, say, on the page where deposits are made), saying it could take "a few hours".

I don't know if my money is stolen, but I also don't know how long I'm supposed to wait before I assume that. There's no reason that they would still accept deposits when this is going on if it was a genuine wallet problem. Could be a liquidity issue even if they're not just running off with the funds.

I'm going to PM the moderators of this forum. Even besides this "wallet" thing, they've already stolen 5btc from user coaex, plus the numerous other issues. I think it's at the point where they should be regarded as known scammers (at least until they correct these issues), or whatever the procedure is when a business operates unfairly and still tries to post here.

Info@anonibet, you personally are misleading the members here if you don't change "a few hours" to the real information.

Having slept on the situation, I couldn't devise a probable theoretical vector of attack used to take control of my email. Since only my machine's IP accessed my email, the attacker had to do a remote-session-like attack to access my it. Even if he could do that, there are two problems with the theory: one is that the emails were unread (he could have marked them unread after he was done with them just to fuck with me, plenty of nutters out there) and the other is that I was at the computer at the time the hack happened. I am still convinced the whole thing happened because of an exploit on anonibet servers' end.

The failure on my part is that I was so overconfident on the security of my system that I did not enable 2FA on the anonibet account, which might have prevented the attack.

If anyone has any theories, please post them.

I have offered to Michael to give him the login details to my email account so he can check the IP logs himself, and confirm the only IP it has been accessed from is the one used for accessing anonibet account. That should confirm that my email hasn't been hacked.
Michael has refused to have the password for my email account, on grounds of it being against their policy. It was the only way I could have proven the integrity of the account.

As I've replied to you over email, I've taken necessary precautions to ensure my email account can not be easily taken control of. I have 2FA in place and the IP log and the fact the messages were unread corroborates my stance. I am therefore sure my email account has not been tempered with and that you have a security flaw. Furthermore, I've been active in online gambling for 6 years and I am an IT professional. I have never had an account hacked (email, gambling related, or otherwise). Thus I am certain that your software has a security flaw enabling a potential attacker to reset a password without having access to the attached email.

BEWARE!

I just had my anonibet account hacked! I got an email with password reset and two withdrawal reset requests. I couldn't log in. The password reset link worked and I managed to reset my password only to notice 8btc have been withdrawn from my account to an unknown address.

The emails I got were unread and I checked my login history (yahoo), they were all from the same IP, mine. So no one messed with my email, that's for sure.

I'm now speaking to support over livechat, but they seem to have no idea what they're doing, just telling me I should use 2 step verification.

You have requested a withdraw 1 hour after placing your last bet. It is your responsibility to protect your own email address. Anonibet can not be liable for your email address accessed by someone else.

However as a precaution we will investigate your case.
