I made my first deposit today .1 BTC. I'm communicating with tech support right now via email and I'm told the issue should be fixed in a few hours. But here's what's going on....

In the beginning many of us complained of the slots not paying. It's true. There was a time I spun over 1000x without a single win. Of course I could care less because it was free voucher credit. We were told there was an issue with the slot difficulty level and the vouchers. Okay, I can live with that, but the problem is, it's still doing it and it's my btc this time! Plus, 3 scatters don't result in free spins as they should. I sent tech support an email with the screenshot and the rep said he didn't see the scatters. I would post it here, but I don't think there's a need. I just found it hilarious that I had to point them out! And I also did not receive the 200% bonus, but I'm sure this will be honored.

In the interim, I'm withdrawing what I have left. I just hope that when I make another deposit, the 200% will be granted since I didn't get it this time. I'm waiting to hear from tech support to see what they have to say about it.

Just another reason to avoid this place. Wagers aren't graded as they would be at the other 99.9% of the books out there.

I would like to point out two things that I consider different from the norm at this book compared to other sportsbook I've played at.

1. If you bet a 2 play parlay, if you win one and push the second, the book counts the entire parlay as a push and does not pay you on the 1/2 of the parlay you won (i'm not sure what happens if you bet 3 or 4 teams and one of them push while the others win.)

2. I bet a soccer team, +2 goals, and the team lost by 2 goals. It was graded as a loss. I have no idea why this isn't a push but support told me their grading was correct. I have never seen this before at a sportsbook.

I mention these because these are 2 things I haven't see at other sportsbooks and I wouldn't want people to be (sadly) surprised, like I was.

When I'm not too tired I will comeback and put into a neat, concise form of questions that have already been asked, and left completely unanswered by this PIECE OF SHIT SCAM ARTIST......I've devoted so much time to this stupid ass scam artist and making this crystal clear, if you are in any way UNCERTAIN that you should put your money into this casino

1) You should be absolutely certain; this place is not going to pay you a large win. Sure maybe little wins. Any big win... Goodluck:) ...
2) They are not provably fair. They have been PROVEN TO BE UNFAIR if you SIMPLY read through this entire thread you will see for yourself..

WHy the hell is CoinBet not answering questions and continuing to evade them, OVER AND OVER, and just change the subject... Because he's hoping you don't listen to the people telling the truth... Listen to the phone call, the read CoinBet's post......

This will be appreciated _computer_ but when you do - leave all bias aside! There hasn't been any solid proof to label coinbet.cc a scam. All we want is a list of the questions that haven't been answered, that's all. I'd hate for this to turn into a bashing event, because that's not the intent. Please don't make into that.

1) We don't know this yet. We can't use coinboss' win as a basis to make this accusation because the win was void from the start! What would be a nice to know is why coinboss had to pay the 6k to claim the 21k, keeping in mind this was before the rep knew his account was under investigation.
2) Fair, there was an issue with the slots' difficulty level and the vouchers (those are the claims relating to not being provably fair I recall, but there could be more), but they made attempts to correct the issue.

-computer- you really need to step back from the computer since you are just throwing a bunch of crap against the wall to see what sticks. The Wire Act or Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) may not cover BTC since it might not be considered a legitimate currency. All books are in the same quandary with Bitcoins and players from the US. I don't know if coinbet will be a stiff book or great book. I'm just siding with coinbet against boss since I truly believe that boss tried to pull a fast one. Plus it looks like coinbet can use it little help since it's outnumbered.

What's funny is that when I publicly asked Diaz and _computer_ to both provide proof that they're not the same person, Diaz/coinboss all of a sudden dropped his claim and settled for his initial deposit. But at any rate, I'm glad the 21k fiasco is over. I also don't know how great of a casino coinbett.cc will be... but I'm hoping that they become an asset to this community. We only have a handful of fair casinos, and we could definitely use another with a large variety of games. If they keep it up, I can imagine they could take a large chuck of the market share (fingers crossed).

Quote from: ?? on ??

US players are actually encouraged to use BTC to fund their accounts and to keep their accounts anonymous. The terms of certain payment processors require that we include the language you quoted in our terms and conditions, but bitcoin provides the anonymity needed for US players to still use our casino if they choose to. We have never terminated an account because it was from a particular country and we never will.

This is great! So one can deposit/withdraw BTC without actually signing up for an account? Since I already signed up I'll use mine but I'm making sure I understand. Actually, I tried to sign into my real account yesterday and got the error that my login was invalid Sad

but I was still able to sign into the first account that I asked to be cancelled. I'll contact tech support to fix it, but I just want to make sure before I do that I'm still able to play

Quote from: ?? on ??

If your deposit was converted improperly, please do email the info I requested above to [email protected] - we do NOT want you to have any discrepancies in your conversion, no matter how small. Sorry about that!

This is the type of customer service that keeps us coming back!

I have faith in CoinBet seriously and I've been doing this for a long time. I seriously do not think these are the type of people to take your money and run like bitcoinsports which was obvious since day 1. Coinbet- Please don't let scammers and shills scare you off. Tighten up your operation a bit, and pay out legit gamblers. Don't pay assholes who take try to scam you and save your money for the legit gamblers.

If you broke down scams player to book, 95% of the time it's the player that is trying to scam.

I wouldn't go as far to say 95% is all on the players; it's pretty evident how often we get scammed, which is why we're so damn weary! But as long as coinbet.cc continues to provide great service, there should be no reason why it can't succeed.
@ PharaohUB who are you calling a shill? Don't think you're referring to me of course, but it would be nice to know Tongue

Also, can you link me to the threads about bitcoinsports? I'm not sure if you're referring to betcoinsports? I've gots to know! Once upon a time betcoinsports was my fav... I'm on the hunt now and so hoping coinbet.cc makes the cut.

Reading through this saga makes me have so many questions it's not even funny.
If I were Coinboss and everything he said was true, I would not even request my funds back, I would be pulling out the guns and looking for suspicious people. I've watched Casino and wouldn't want to end up in a shallow desert grave. How did he scam the casino? All I see is that multiple accounts were apparently opened which violated the T&C but that is not scamming. I don't know and really this has been a fun read but exhausting at the same time.

There are still unanswered questions we have but this thread is so freakin messy I can't even find specific posts! And I doubt that everything coinboss said is true. Did he win 21k? Sure, but by fraudulent means. No one should expect coinbet..cc to explain in grave detail how the scam was executed (putting ideas in the minds of some) so be satisfied with the explanation provided - it was enough for us to determine from the start coinboss tried to pull a fast one! Hell if I were coinbet.cc, I wouldn't give him the initial deposit back, but that's me. And what is Casino, a movie? lol, do you honestly think it's that serious?

Fun read indeed

No doubt informative on both sides.

You should have been paid $47.43 to your account @ coinbet current exchange rate of 1 BTC = $948.66

Oops no sorry I put in .06.

And I know that sounds weird now but I obviously have proof but it's only $5, but I'd certainly provide it if someone was that interested.

I will reiterate that I deposited .05 BTC And only got $50 in my account where it should have been over $55, according to the rate coinbet posted in their site. So is just warn people who choose to deposit to watch out for that.

.05 BTC is worth less than $50. You got overpaid instead of shorted.

Really? Email this to support with the time of deposit and TXID and you'll be credited accordingly if there really was a discrepancy.

You can still yoink accounts and do withdraws to BTC

No you can't. I'm not going to explain all of our security measures publicly, again for obvious reasons, but they are there. We have safeguards in place to protect our member accounts, balances, etc.

What good is only encrypting payment options when the master password to the main site is in cleartext? You can still yoink accounts and do withdraws to BTC or gamble the internal credits away. According to your faq you are not responsible for abuse due to lost or stolen passwords, which is interesting because you do absolutely nothing to protect logins for the main site. Anyways it would take you 20mins to set this up. Would you log in here if bitcointalk.org didn't use https? Would you use an email service that didn't have basic, standard TLS/SSL for registration?

Coinbet.cc -

Coinboss' decision to settle, if that's what he's doing, does not absolve you from the many questions people have. Also, will you return his initial deposit, or will you stand by your word to not cave to a scammer?

Can't say I speak for everyone, but inquiring minds would like to know.

Refunding his initial, and actual, deposit is not caving to a scammer. We have no intention of stealing anyone's money. We certainly COULD keep it, if we wanted to (it's in our terms and conditions that violating the rules forfeits any account balance, regardless of where it came from), but that's not something we care to do.

Quote from: CaesersGhost on January 22, 2014, 05:42:34 PM

I'm not going to go in to great detail, because we don't need a bunch of copycats overwhelming our security/flag system, but essentially he used multiple accounts to funnel money between one another and take advantage of our deposit match bonuses by moving money from account to account making each transfer look like a new deposit (thus qualifying for new bonuses in each account). Both having multiple accounts, as well as taking multiple bonuses that you are not entitled to, is against our terms and conditions. We might have forgiven the multiple account violation, but once he started using those accounts solely to collect the bonuses on deposits that were already given bonuses for in the previous account, it became something we were unwilling to forgive.

It means nothing is encrypted. Anybody can MITM and steal logins to drain your wallet if you use wifi or a malicious vpn, or have a malicious ISP. Worse, because they have misconfigured their SSL a malicious competitor can DOS them all day long with a renegotiation attack.

Apparently you don't know what you're looking at, but ok. I'm not going to explain to you why this isn't exactly true, for obvious reasons, but I will say that all transactions are handled via SSL on the payment processing agencies' end. The cert on the link you provided has nothing to do with the front end user-accessed website.

They are wide open to MITM (no trust/mismatch cert) and DOS (client init renegotiation attack). Got gigantic red warning in Chromium didn't even bother signing up. Is there at least 2FA for withdrawal? If you must have a self-signed cert at least PGP key sign it's cert SHA1 fingerprints on your http landing page so we know it's the right one.

ummm... okay.... can you please explain in plain English? What does this mean?
