Can't say I have been following BetKing. I followed a few casinos that raised ICOs last year (and this year also there were a few but I just stuck to the ones I know of) and Betking was definitely one of the few that was prominent here on this forum.

I find it a little strange the raise amounts were published in dollars and not the crypto raised. Especially if it wasn't liquidated at the time. Not abnormal I guess, but this is the same attitude that is happening across many projects (not all).

They raise and love the supporters but post ICO ignore or worse, shame them for asking. I dont' know what anyone can do about this. This is part of the trust we placed and risk we took when we invested.

So yeah, the thread is locked due to trolls and people incapable of listening to me. I'll unlock to post updates now and again. Though bitcointalk isn't where we get most our audience so not sure how frequently.

Dean Nolan shame on you for showing so much disdain towards the very people that bought in to your ICO scam

The ICO was a year ago, so why is this discussion happening now? The bkb tokens are out there and are traded (though not to good) on hitbtc: https://hitbtc.com/BKB-to-BTC. The problem is that people were expecting profits, but instead lost some money, right? Well, this happens with the vast majority of ICOs, doesn't it? And Darkstar wrote a trust comment for Betking.io profile, saying that he invested in this casino as well as in ICO without experiencing any issues. Maybe it was just not a very successful ICO, but also not the one scamming people. The were some moments when the price was increasing, so perhaps some even profited from this investment.
Though locking threads and not making a report on what the money was spent on when investors are asking seems fishy and Betking's response in this thread looks pretty rude as well.

Maybe it's part of a huge branding play they're working on.

Customers of BetKing are mere peasants


Yes Dean simply used the ICO when he needed it and then treated customers who placed bets and those that invested as mere peasants. So sad. I feel sorry for the investors that will never recoup their investment back, I do not feel sorry for Dean Nolan who made a lot of money from what many feel is a scam.

If Cubeia poker software costs $500 why did he claim to make to have it custom coded? If the site was virtually ready then why have an ICO?

Things do not add up here. The Betking Tokens are useless and worthless, investors lost out Sad

I wonder who this thread is for?

It's not for ICO token holders. I speak with most of them on Telegram. They understood what they were investing in and know it's not a scam, in fact, many people are happy with the roi so far and the huge improvements being made on the site.

This is just a thread for a bunch of idiots who were not in the ico, have no intention of ever owning tokens, who don't know anything about BetKing or the ICO or how businesses work.

Just people who refused to listen to the answers I gave a hundred times and instead chose to listen to a bitter, jealous moron who has had hatred towards me and BetKing for almost 5 years.

So yeah, the thread is locked due to trolls and people incapable of listening to me. I'll unlock to post updates now and again. Though bitcointalk isn't where we get most our audience so not sure how frequently.

Have fun in here speculating and posting shit you have no clue about. It doesn't affect BetKing or investors.


I’m invested in betking. I 100% agree you are legit and this guy is just an idiot. Locking the thread however substantiates his BS. I would have preferred that you just straight up said “his claims are false, we are very profitable, end of story” and stopped replying.

Reopen the thread. Report his posts to the mod.

Their ICO ANN thread was still up and actively open - [ANN][ICO][BKB] BetKing Bankroll Token - Tokens distributed to your account

Dean was pissed off with chazley so he locked up the thread.

I guess you can still contact him through the given link at his last post on the thread https://t.me/betkingcasino

@JollyGood have you contacted him there?

Dean does not like people who ask him questions about his business practices. He will not appreciate me going on his Telegram to ask questions, he will block me there no doubt.

It seems Dean threw his toys out of his pram and spat out his dummy when he was asked questions about his very suspect ICO, the structure of the Betking Tokens and his website in general.

yeah too much money was collected comparing it with what the sites offer now , I was disappointed actually to see Dean locking the thread instead of clearing what people are asking about
I'm hoping the best for both the site and investors cause Betking has one of the best sportsbooks available in the business

anyways maybe Dean will make an announcement soon regarding this matter

Dean tried to justify his failure to clear up where the funds went and how badly the Betking tokens have performed by using the something like "what if 20 years ago I did this...."

His locking the thread shows he has something to hide or he simply knows he cannot fob people off when they ask questions. I feel sorry for investors because the project buy-back system is flawed as the Betking tokens do not maximise value for investors. It is a win-win situation for Dean of course.

What do the tokens represent that investors that bought into the ICO for? Is it some split of the profit of the website or something? Or is it just that the website and games are run using the token? I think gambling and ICO was a petty big risk as it is. I never invest in ICO's, but I do enjoy playing gambling games for fun.

...
some money were spent on poker promotion , but aside from adding poker and sportsbetting yeah there is pretty much no progress
but maybe he is planning something for the future who knows ?
...

Poker has already been removed from Betking, because the action has been
pretty dismal. Dean ran some promotions that were actually +EV for the players,
but even this couldn´t incentivize people to actually play on the site.

Freerolls attracted some players, but this is obviously a way of burning
money/crypto if the players never deposit real funds.

According to the website new games like Black Jack and Roulette will be added,
but I doubt that this will change the current outlook for Betking. For some
reason other gambling sites like Bustabit or Stake seem to be more attractive
for the players.

Maybe the competition just got harder compared to the period back in the day
when Betking was extremely popular after dooglus decided to close Just-Dice.

guess who's back
wow just noticed that Dean locked the thread after reading this
well to be honest investors did a terrible mistake when they invested in the terms of $ , they paid crypto and BKB should be valued in BTC or ETH no matter what the fiat price of these currencies are

some money were spent on poker promotion , but aside from adding poker and sportsbetting yeah there is pretty much no progress
but maybe he is planning something for the future who knows ?

I just see it as investors fault for not realizing what they are putting their crypto in

You make valid points but if he was planning something else so long after the ICO then he should have used the Betking thread (that he has now locked) to update people on his plans.

The amount raised in the ICO minus expenses (the poker promotions and bankroll) just do not make business sense. Where is all the money? Did he siphon off the money by saying it was spent on development of plugin and licenced betting games?

Yes Dean did lock the thread, investors must be very upset. I agree with you ultimately investors are to blame for their very bad choice of investment but too many users were posting too many good things about Betking at the time so it would have been difficult for investors not to get duped in to parting with their crypto. chazley was right (in the now locked Betking thread), people were better off keeping their Bitcoin instead of investing in the Betking token because they would have made more profit. I feel sorry for investors.

Damn I'm glad I decided not to go near the ICO now. Will be interested to see if the BetKing guy comes back with a response.

Edit: Did anyone who did invest receive regular updates?

Well the Betking guy is Dean Nolan and he locked the Betking thread because people were asking questions about the need for the ICO and where the money went. Something does not add up and a lot of people are asking where the ICO really went.

Is Betking a scam?

 Shocked
Do you think BetKing is a scam because ETTKS assumes that Dean would have just folded if the value of the crypto would have went down?

What are the terms and conditions of the ICO?

Are investors allowed to sell their tokens at any time?


Ouch Game Protect,  another site you cannot shill for bites the dust.

I ask anyone here to google "betking game protect". Where are those links? I thought you trusted dean? Trusted him enough to take his money to shill his site!

Start wriggling you snake.
