it was very clear on the Terms and conditions ScamViruS shared that accounts inactive for 52 weeks will be deactivated or suspended. your account was inactive for five years, so I don't see how you were scammed here. regarding the support or the owners rude behavior, it should not have happened but he is still correct for not letting you withdraw the $10(at least acording to their ToS).

I'd admit it, calling OP a poor idiot was a bit extreme, especially for a business representative even though they were annoyed by OP's responses. I have used the gambling platform in question some time in the past and my experience with it was okay. I didn't have any problem with it. Most times, we can avoid putting ourselves in unfortunate situations we could have just read the terms and conditions. Sorry OP. I recommend you just take your L on this one and do better next time to read all terms and conditions to ensure you don't leave money on the table in the future.
Upholding their T&Cs doesn't make them scammy in any way except they go against their own terms.

I understand where you're coming from, I for one don't like when I feel like I'm getting ripped off especially off of my hard work, but in this scenario I think the site is just correct although I wouldn't really go so far as to deal with casinos that aren't well-received in this forum. Going back to my reasoning, there's rules and regulations imposed by every casino on every user to protect the casino's best interests and the user's safety/fairness all in all. You've never played with them for over 5 years, with your $10 deposit probably valued more than that just because it's before 2020's bull run. Plus it was imposed upon their terms and conditions which you probably didn't go so far as to give a look-see at. In this scenario the casino is correct, only thing I wish he could've done is be more polite about it instead of calling you a poor idiot lol.

I don't know how safe or how risky this casino is but what the support explained to you is really correct. Before joining any casino it is important to know the rules of that casino. Since your fund size was $10 this loss won't hurt you much, but you have done a good job by opening this thread which will encourage other gamblers who do affiliate marketing to read the rules carefully. Because when you break the rules the casino will have more excuses not to pay you out because they are legally correct. But yes, the owner treated you rudely, this makes me think twice before joining this casino.

I think based on the explanation from screenshot number 2.
The support tell-us some explanation "from free-fund and coupon", that means the casino has the ability to gambling or get fund for free from them. However, their referral program counted the wagering made by the free funds. That's why they refused to paid, because the referral program at least paid from the raw balance (that's mean, deposit money). No wonder they don't want to pay @OP, but they also make a stupid system while the free-fund money that came from them is getting counted for the reward referral.

Obviously little things of this nature speaks of volume. If they can not handle a $10 situation with a member is it a big win they would release. I think they are up to something and come to talk of it, this casino is an unpopular one which I have not heard about before. They are not here which may cast more doubt on their reliability.
OP as I see you are active member here. It is nice you raised such an alarm early enough for members to know. As you can see, there are lots of reputable casino here which you can engage but do your due diligence.
Lastly this topic should be at the reputation board here

Hey mate, I’m not trying to defend the casino since I don’t have any info about them but according to your conversation with the support/owner, Your casino account is inactive for almost 5 years which means your account already expires. All casino nowadays have this kind of rule in their ToS that ranging from 6 months to 1 year inactivity before your account got restricted.
I think you have the right to claim those referrals that you earn when you are still active but the support has a valid point regarding your existing referrals since your account is already closed. You should read always the ToS so that you will be aware on the casino rules. I agree on the support because I knew exactly that kind of rules exist on any casino.

That's odd because if his account expired he wouldn't be able to log in. But with just $10, I think that is also a warning sign. Not saying this is already a scam casino but a warning sign to all not-popular casinos I guess is what users should be cautious of.
But I wonder why OP chose this casino over hundred casinos in crypto that are well-known to the community. Iff he is up to making more than $10, he gotta be signing up to the casinos that have been in the crypto casino business for a very long time.

It is not very honest. Probably, it would be better if you first checked whether a casino pays or not, and only then started attracting referrals to the casino.
The issue here is he is not active for almost 5 years and he is trying to withdraw now after all those years of inactivity. I'm not familiar on the casino terms and condition but some casino do charge an account for holding balance for a long time without any gambling activities until the account close when the balance is already empty to pay the fees.
It's too late for him to check if the casino pay or not because it's been 5 years since he start playing and referring in the casino. I think the important lesson here is always check your casino balance and empty it before leaving it inactive for a long time.

So you brought some referrals to a site even if you didn’t check whether it is going to pay or not? And only when you didn’t receive your affiliate commission, you decided to tell everyone that it may be dangerous to have deals with this site?
It is not very honest. Probably, it would be better if you first checked whether a casino pays or not, and only then started attracting referrals to the casino.

Before calling a casino site a scam, make sure you haven't disobeyed their rules. Since your account has been inactive for 5 years, it may have violated one of their rules, which led to your account being expires. So first check if this is mentioned in their rules and regulations. If you feel that they are treating you unfairly and your account has been expired for no reason, you can open a scam complaint against them on the Scam Accusations board. this is not a right section to report someone against

Hi guys, Please be careful with sharkoin.com. I strongly believe it's a scam casino looking for some big deposits. Recently I tried to withdraw some of my affiliate commissions after a long time as they continuously sending emails about my affiliates. I found around $10 in affiliate commission and tried to withdraw it. But it was pending for more than 24 hours. So I have to contact their support or owner in telegram. But I am really surprised by the behaviour of this guy.
I have never met such a support or owner. So just be cautious before making a deposit. I wouldn't even open this thread as the amount is very low. But I have to let the community know about the risk of such behaviour. I am adding my conversation screenshots here -
