Wow, this absolutely insane. Having deposited 107 dash, I would think that you be a valued customer and at least given a warning... but I guess they were just looking for an easy way to scam. I will spread the news about the scam that is Whale Club.

Good luck and I sincerely hope this works out for you! Sad

Another update.  After reading all their terms on everythign posted publicly on their website, there is no indication of anything that they specified.  Nothing about trade frequency being limited.  Nothing about "abusive trading" even. 

I can 100% understand them restricting bots that aren't their API.   Totally understandable - but that was not the case here.

Another update from them after sending 10 more emails with information and screenshots.  Apparently they have the right to steal all your money if you simply trade too much.  This, of course, is not defined anywhere on the site or in the terms of use.  There is no given limit to the trading you can do or warnings if you are opening too many trades.  They simply let you go on trading so that if you lose all your money naturally they don't have to worry about it.

It's literally just a way for them to steal all your money and claim they have a right not to pay you when you earn on their site!

Hi Braden,

I fully understand how this can be frustrating. The system has built-in risk management to prevent abusive trading and automatically lock accounts that engage in abuse. Abusive trading can either be:

- high frequency trading or scalping
- front-running (access to a faster price feed than Whaleclub's and placing trades based on that)
- UI scripting

These measures are put in place to protect the platform and its users from abuse.

Hi Braden,

Our system detected unusual and abusive trading on your account, which it then automatically suspended. This was a violation of our terms of service, unfortunately. There is not much we can do at this time.

Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

Jeffrey Sacks
Customer Support, Whaleclub

Essentially the are saying "oh you actually made money on the site which is unusual - we don't allow you to make money so we can't pay you actually".  I did not trade in any other way than simply doing standard orders on the Whaleclub website.  The fact they are using that as their excuse goes to show they can do this at any time to anyone just for doing well.

"Oh yeah you deposited $50,000 and made $2,000 which is very abusive.  You are banned goodnight".

Unbelievable in every sense of the word.  

Let me repeat, I did not use any automated trading or do anything unusual other than trade normally on their platform.  

To put this simply, Whaleclub.com is a scam and stole all my money and their only answer is "your trading was abusive".

What a horrible story dude. What are they calling abusing trading, bots, or about any kind of supposed limits? Did they explain to you a bit more?
I suppose you asked them more about this so-called abusing trading, what is their reply?
Keep harassing them, at least make an agreement to get your funds back even if without the profits. At least you will have this back.

To the moderator:  I accidentally posted this in the scammer accusation subforum but this is more of a general trading post.  Can you please move it there so that other users can see it ?  I don't want to spam the forum and post it multiple times right after signing up!
You can move this thread by yourself. Click "move" (beside "lock") on bottom left this thread, then move to the place you want.

Hello Everyone!

UPDATE: I have begun to compile all the bad experiences that I have seen on a website in an attempt to expose the behavior of this cmopany.  The URL is https://www.whaleclub-scam.com - it is under construction at the moment.

UPDATE:  I updated the topic to $46,000 as the value of the 107 DASH that Whaleclub scam website is now worth $430.94 totaling $46,010.

UPDATE: Now the value is $49,500 with the DASH Rally going on.

UPDATE: : Please help expose this fraud upvoting the post in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7cf9xm/beware_this_popular_bitcoin_trading_website_just/

This is my first time posting here.  A friend of mine who got me into Bitcoin originally and is an active user here told me I should register and post this situation with everyone.  Obviously we are at a point that scams and frauds have the potential to become a bigger and bigger problem as Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency in general enter the mainstream spotlight.  This is a fairly extreme example of this going on.

The website in question is called Whaleclub.  I had been using the site for a few months by tonight and had truthfully lost about $6,000 on the website in the past few months but hey, can't win them all!  So tonight I saw a huge opportunity to short Bitcoin as the price was clearly going to drop below $7,000.  I moved some money into my Whaleclub account and started trading.  I was able to amass a profit of $38,000 before deciding to call it a night.

Shortly after requesting the withdrawal of my profits from the website, my balance suddenly shrank to minus some odd number of thousand dollars (screenshots coming up).  I was notified that they would not pay me because I was doing "abusive trading".  I was not using any kind of automated bots or systems what-so-ever.  I have multiple people who I have emailed with about this since I got banned and the user here who I will have reply to vouche for this -- hopefully he has some posts/repuation on this site to validate my claims are not baseless.

Obviously this just made my night go from absolutely amazing to terrible.  I would appreciate any assistance from this community in exposing this fraud.   If they can get away with simply banning and erasing the trades of anyone that profits then they will obviously continue to do this to people, or worse - simply go offline and steal everyones money when they decide they no longer want to pay peoples profits.

I will put more information together once i wake up - been up 24 hours.  But here are a few screenshots for proof:


Now they have erased any trace that I made the trades shown above with history.  My trade list now shows i never made those trades even though I can show that I did.  Obviously in an attempt to cover up the facts so I could not report them and had no recourse:

A few users did try to speak out for me in the chat.  You can actually see that the admin made it so that I could not see any of his posts but other users were talking to him:

Here is a screenshot of me sending updates to my friend who was sleeping as I was trading to establish a timeline:

I ask for your help in exposing this site for the scam that it is.  It is fairly clear at this point they have no intention of honoring the legitimate trades that were made at this point.  I have about 500 screenshots showing them deleting my trades that made huge returns from my history as well as banning multiple users from the chat when they simply said "I was watching, he definitely was making those trades and talking the whole time".  I am happy to have them sign up here to vouche for that as I luckily broadcast my email out to them right before getting banned.



I am obviously in disbelief and I know this whole article is a jumbled rant right now.  It is almost 6 AM but wanted to get this out as quickly as possible!  I will try to edit everything and add a bunch more information tomorrow.  I truly appreciate anyone willing to aid in exposing what appears to be a huge huge scam!!


It does look like they post on this forum from time-to-time as well:
