A long running site should not be an excuse to delay the payments and delay to resolve the issue, I see this as very unprofessional especially if it took a week or more before you hear an update. Bitvest though is still consider as one of the good gambling site, I tried playing on this before and I can confirm this. Problems like this should address right away not unless they didn’t care about their reputation anymore.
I completely agree.
And agree with the sentiment that lightlord should probably sell the project. But that would obviously come only if there is interest in an acquisition.
I personally don't see health problems/long standing reputation or anything of that sort as a valid excuse for being completely unprofessional and borderline scamming customers, especially when holding withdrawals can lead to problem gamblers risking their withdrawals.
And the problem is that the longer issues like this one remains then the harder it would be to sell the casino, after all not long ago bitvest had a good reputation among their customers, like any casino it had a problem here and there but nothing serious, and taking into account how long the casino had existed people had no problem referring other people there.
But now if things keep going in this direction and more people keep having problems with the casino then the lower the chances to sell it to someone that has the time and money to manage the project, as the bad reputation is not going to disappear just because a new person is behind bitvest, and as such someone with the desire to manage their own casino may decide it is better to start their own project than to buy one that has a bad reputation.
