Topic: Coinbet.cc scam finally exposed!! - page 2. (Read 3140 times)

Yes, I agree.  I attempted to withdraw the funds now the moment they showed up (through bitcoin again) and they said it may take up to 24-48hrs for it to be processed.  I don't see the benefits for this site unless they can take the aiting game out of withdrawing your funds, that's the issue with regular online bookmakers.  I withdrew because the initial 12-13 hr wait for it to go in was too long and had me worried so until the site gets more popular I may just stay away

I hope they can change some of these things as it would be  great site for those wishing to use up some btc instead of cold cash.

Not a scam per se (could be, but not sure). However websites that entirely rely on blockchain.info's API, instead of having their own full node + blockchain to send and verify transactions, seem like a very bad idea to me. The whole idea of Bitcoin is to be decentralized. Not to rely on other 3rd party websites.

I made a deposit to that site "coinbet.cc" last night like the fool that I am.  It has been 12 hrs and still no sign though after 90 confirmations.
Anybody know if coinbet.cc has been exposed as a scam??  I emailed there support and this is the respnse they sent me:


""Hi,

We apologise for this problem, but as it is at BlockChain, we are in their hands right now.

 

However, in order to alleviate any delays or other issues, we can address any deposit you have made.

Thank you, and we apologise again for the current situation.  We hope that they will be able to address it quickly.

ANY BIT OF REASSURANCE ABOUT THIS CROWD WOULD BE HELPFUL.

Thank you all.



EDIT: I am in and playing but not alot of options regards sports betting really and my post was only a question and was not in any way saying the site is a scam but merely asking about it because I hadn't seen my money arrive first.
