I am very sure this news is not true, which is impossible with BetKing's bad reputation. Sponsoring Kenya Football in numbers
fantastic money, I doubt BetKing has that kind of money. It's possible that BetKing paid journalists to spread this news, and if
they do that to clear their names. I am sure their goals will fail, because the members of this forum are numerous and everywhere.
Surely there will be victims from BetKing who are trying to prove their decay. Really shameless BetKing.

Based on Twinkledoe's post regarding betking.com reply, BetKing.com is not connected with betking.io.
And looking at their creation date, betking.com has long been in the business before this betking.io surfaced.
So I guess, if representative from betking.com can post here to clarify this matter, that would be much appreciated.

I tried to dig more and this is what I found.
Betking.com
https://dailypost.ng/2019/02/26/jj-okocha-congratulates-betking-1st-anniversary-leader-sports-betting-industry/

Betking.io
https://www.ventureradar.com/organisation/BetKing/f0f17a49-8d41-4b3e-a7a2-db514232de44

It could be that Betking.io was created first.
Need to dig more. We cannot just ask them about this because they could lie through their teeth.

Reading above posts again, it seems that betking.com is a separate entity from betking.io. Their existence is longer than betking.io. I sent an email to betking.com to check about their connections. Let's see what will be their reply.

Good. We hope that betking.com can clarify if they are part of betking.io or not because, as we know that betking.io is made a problem for some members. I hope after you get a reply from them, you can also share here so we can know what their answer.

But if betking.com and betking.io have the same management, then they can scam so many people.

------

I think you should not ask them if you want to get the right answer.. no scammers will admit publicly that they scam people.

Don't expect this answer, "Hey that's us, we scammed people back then, CHEERS!"

The consensus of the people here is this site is the same with betking.io.

No dumb will really admit out into their mistakes or issues in the past thats why its not really that reliable in regards to their responses.We know on how shitty do become Betking is when we do talk into this forum.
They have unresolved accusations of scamming out users or investors and everytime betking do make up some headlines then i cant blame of on the negative impression around for such company.
They should really need to fix things up if they do like to withdstand into this industry but for me it is really hard to patch it up.
Ive been waiting for Jollygood's reaction again on this one. Cheesy

As some people have stated this is most likely an attempt to try to clean their image after the scam they performed in the forum, while it may seem odd they are investing that much money the truth is that most likely they are planning to recover that money by scamming even more people down the road.

The problem, is that amount of people outside forum is far larger than here. So even if you're a scammer, you can hype on such things (i doubt that they paid to this football clubs. more like they paid to journalists) outside forum and you will look good in the eyes of majority. They even don't know that bitcointalk exists.

Received also an email that my ticket has been resolved.

So they are 2 different companies. Seems betking.com is legit.

I really hope it does not happen but taking into account how successful they have been at scamming people from their money it is possible they have thought this very thoroughly and they will be able to get away with it again tarnishing the image of this market even further in the process.

Betking scammed me for $700. There's no way they have 11 million to spend.

Or your $700 might have already formed part of that $11 million. And because they must have scammed a good deal of people,

First thing that came into my mind was that too. Grin

Could they really have scammed a lot of people and made this huge amount?
Yeah it must be reason behind it.
Do they think they are Robinhood or something?
Robbing people just so they could do good at the end to satisfy their hunger for popularity or worse, to scam more which will deposit higher amounts.

They should first clear their name.
Perhaps there are still other users out there who are just not talking about same scam attempts.

Per this thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/betkingio-ico-47-million-raised-last-week-to-take-part-1842538), Betking scammed 4.7 million usd, I'm just wondering why until now they are not in jailed if there is a solid evidence?

My question, is this Betking in the topic is the same as the Betking that do some irregularities in crypto?

Betking.com, the one in the topic, doesn't support crypto. Betking.io is the one that does have negative reviews.

Might be Betking.io use other domain so that it can be dragged by the popularity of Betking.com? AFAIK, website name can be registered as same as long as they are using different domains?

Can someone clarify this or I'm totally wrong here?

I was also curious so I did some quick search.

My conclusion, I think they are the same, look at the ANN thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/invest-in-the-bankroll-betkingio-bitcoin-weekly-wager-contest-5119013, you can see a crown, and their website, https://www.betking.com/sports/s, you can also see the same crown.

this https://betking.io/ is not a gambling site anymore, it's more like an advertisement platform.

This betking.com has their TM-mark on their name. Whereas, the questionable betking.io has nothing in it.

https://www.betking.com/

https://betking.io/

betking.com is asking for details that are only asked by pure fiat-based casino. So no crypto here.

I think this site is different from the betking.io account, which are still resolving issues from their customers.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54540211

Look guys. There is a difference between the two, maybe the BetKing.com is actaully not the same as BetKing.io who scammed many of you.

I really think its virtually impossible for Betking.io the scam will have connection to the sports betting and if it canlt pay Loyce the $700 they've scammed from him, they definitely don't have the $11M too. They could turn this into a good marketing though.

Perhaps they turned out to have a change of heart after all? /s

BetKing has scammed a lot of people in the past and I highly doubt that they have that much to spend being sponsors. It's mainly a publicity stunt for the masses to win their trust over again and start yet another scamming spree like they did in the past. And maybe the Kenyan officials are into it as well, to mask the actual amount that they sponsor and to keep things going for a while. There's just enough evidence on BetKing being scammers that it's hard to really risk doing business with them even if they get a legitimate share of the pie in the Kenyan football league.

AFAIK Betking has an issue and scammed people from the forum. There were feedbacks left on Dean's account. Before sponsoring, they should pay more attention to those people that they've brought inconvenience to make this news more reliable.

Almost every active member on this forum understand what their actions was when they scammed forum members, basically, this information should be view as a means of them trying fixing their problems with those involved. Maybe they were approach to clean up their dirty from the public before going into the sponsorship.

Obviously, they are trying to clean up their image, however, if they are that serious, then the first thing to do is to solved their problems first in this community. But they didn't, no response from them whatsoever after so many years. And I agree that they should have look at the issue they got themselves involved.

And now the uproar, they just brought back the accusations and heat with their actions here.

Temporary forum vacation

OK so I read all the posts and so the newbies reading this can understand what is going on can we ask OP to please update the thread title and OP to reflect all these points?

Betking.com and not Betking.io

We do NOT want new gamblers to accidentally go and deposit at a failed site right? Not that sponsorship should convince people to do anything;)

This forum is popular, sure, a lot of members know about their reputation, but I think that would not stop a project from still operating, I've seen some gambling sites here where their forum account is negged tag but they are still into operation. Based on the article, $11 milion is a huge money, so this site is really huge, and can impact the gambling world, so I was just wondering, what aren't they are fixing their reputation, aren't they thinking of their future.

This is really a serious concern to many of their victim, and it needs a legal action which will put betking liable to face scam accusations. If they can prove themselves innocent of this matter, then there's no problem about it. First of all, we need to listen and be open minded with different thoughts that will come out, since this thing might be controversial to everybody.

Shuffle.com

It looks like they're based on Nigeria and doesn't even accept cryptocurrencies so they're probably not related to the other Betking we all know that's now an affiliate site.

Here's more information that can be found on their about page

I think I'll consider this a good news if I don't know the reputation of BetKing in the forum, but no.. a scam site always have a dark reason behind the action. For those who don't know about the site, they can check the account in the forum - https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/betkingio-565024.

Exactly! For those that don't know their history, their move is great! However, a lot of us here in the forum know the truth about their profile. So I am assuming it is only a publicity stunt, maybe to rectify their bad reputation. But they need to address first their old issues before spending a lot of money to some sports team.

I am part of those who don't know their history.
At first glance of the OP's news it really look great and I almost tried to say it is.
But, from all the replies of the members then I think it is not a great news but instead it was bad news.

If they can grow their advertisement up to this extent then more will be victims of the scams they did.
We don't want that to happen. We don't want new victims for their new scam attempts.
How could we help others to not step on the same floor which others had experienced already?
Maybe report them with proofs?

Since they already have scammed a lot of money, there might be a hidden agenda on their action. I hope Kenya is aware of the credibility of the company sponsoring them, if this is for publicity, it could be to clean their name or to victimize more people.

This is something that they need to clarify to avoid confusion and to avoid their reputation being tarnished by scam accusation.
