First of all, I'm not accusing Betcoin of intentionally rigging these games. They are doing what they always do when shit hits the fan; attempt to hide it by smearing it all over their face then ask
"what shit? we didn't touch any shit? only trolls would talk about the shit on our face right?"If you want to understand the whole story, read this entire
thread, all 3 pages,
I've read the entire casinolisting article. My point is that there has to a complete and thorough audit before we can blame somebody else for the actions of Betsoft.
Did you read just the article? If so, you should really read
THE THREADThis is the closest you will get to an objective analysis of the situation. It's a public discussion, beginning last Sept, you can watch it progress over several months. Read the entire thread, they find some damning evidence that Betsoft has yet to deny. I'd be surprised if Betsoft/Betcoin has any of the data CL.com does. Why would they?
This "complete and thorough audit" you mention, it's unrealistic. Look at it this way: In a world without any sort of criminal justice system, Betsoft is being accused of a very serious crime over a long period of time. They have been in hiding for over 2 weeks now. If they were to come forward tomorrow after weeks of hiding and say "hey, I'm ready for my independent audit, go ahead help yourself, have a look at whatever you want" what would that prove?
Betcoin should be held accountable for every decision they make, including which operators they use or not. If they choose an operator that refuses to address major issues like this one publicly - that's no them.
The same goes for holding affiliates responsible for choosing which sites to promote or not promote.
Same thing for signature campaign members and the business they choose to advertise for. If you choose a site like Betcoin who hides from issues rather than addressing them, you should expect it to cost you in some way. How about the keno thing, did you read
that thread on 2p2? (I recommend anyone interested watch this
5 minute video that explains the 2010 Rigged Keno Game Betsoft provided for Absolute Poker)
Remember that scummy cheating site Absolute? The are the ones who eventually got shut down and didn't pay out their players?
Let's see how they handled it when Betsoft provided fucked up software:
Dear Ce1skaIMO,
As a valued customer and Keno player at our site, we want to update you on an issue we were made aware of that suggested the Keno game we offered to players was operating in a non-random way.
Our early analysis of this claim stated that there was a flaw specific to the game logic in ‘ten play’ only on Traditional Keno and no confirmed issue with the Random Number Generator (RNG). Upon notice of the flaw, we contacted our third party software provider of Keno, Betsoft Gaming (BSG) for a more comprehensive investigation and subsequently removed all Keno games from our site until the investigation was complete and all corrective actions taken.
Our joint investigations with BSG confirmed that while the RNG for Keno was functioning properly, it was selecting from a pre-existing data set that was not as extensive as it should have been. The results were in turn random, but from a limited data set rather than from the full data set from which RNG is expected to choose.
While the issue stemmed from our third party software provider, we accept responsibility for offering our players a Keno game that had the described issue. Therefore refunds have been issued to all Keno players of ‘five Play’, ’ten Play’ and all Traditional Keno during the period those games were offered . Any net loss you experienced while playing Keno with us, no matter how small has been credited to your account.
We wish to offer our sincere apologies for any confusion or frustration this issue may have caused you, and we thank you for your patience while we have endeavored to correct this situation. We also want to restate our commitment to providing a safe, secure and fair gaming environment for our players.
If you have any questions about your refund, please write to us at
[email protected] Thank you for your understanding, support and continued confidence in our game offerings.

That's right guys, Absolute was parters with Betsoft and ended up offering rigged Keno back in 2010. This is how they handled it:
