Topic: Duelbits, $500,000 unresolved problem (Read 1394 times)

Exactly, this kind of casino will be listed on a no-recommendation casinos for sure. While it's normal to be required KYC especially if a user withdraw a huge amount, so withdrawing it in smaller multiple times might avoid this kind of issues. While it's good to see that the issue is now resolved i hope duelbits will check and prioritize an issue that were already months old ^[1]

This issues has been resolved and the OP has received the amount he was claiming. The OP should have locked this thread after he received the disputed funds but he has not been online from before Duelbits completed their investigation. As there is nothing more for anybody to add I hope a moderator will lock the thread.

I hope he is aware that he can now withdraw his funds, his last log-in here was 2 weeks ago and after he has withdrawn his funds he should change the title to resolve, it's good that this thing is settled it took a month, but compared to other casinos that sometimes took 2 to 4 months to resolve the cases



So far none of the big names in the industry ask for KYC upon registration because they know that not all gamblers will and can play with a huge amount and some of them will register to only check the casinos' interface, its a disadvantage for both parties

In the past when I was a thug.. I fked up an international gambling company for asking for extra documents to withdraw huge profits and what I insisted on [as you didn't ask me while depositing don't ask me while withdrawing and turned a red eye] few days later I got all the money without providing anything.

Glad your issue has been resolved. How much is your net profits?

I also don't think Duelbits will take the advice, it's a good precaution but between profit and precaution, Duelbits will choose the first option, as long as they address every complaint that comes along, and they are dedicated to addressing the issue, of course, the complainant's cooperation is very important, Duelbits' reputation is still intact.

I'm glad you guys are finally able to resolve this issue. congrats to the OP, I hope you can update us when you finally withdraw your funds.

while this could resolve issues like this, this could also deter gamblers from registering on their gambling site. registering without doing KYC upon registration is very tempting to a lot of gamblers. unless Duelbits is willing to take that possible loss, I don't think KYC upon registration will happen.

Duelbits is an international brand that has a reputation for being an honest company therefore the idea or notion that you could were either scamming or selectively scamming the OP is and was absurd based on the evidence the OP provided.

I am extremely please to see this situation resolved after you were given enough time to run through all your checks after the OP finally submitted his new documentation.

Thank you for the update.

Well Done,

This news will increase trust around community, for sure.

Only a suggestion: next time start KYC from deposit and not when customers ask to withdraw winnings

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team. We are here to assist you and provide any additional information you may require.

Warm regards,

I noted so it seems the OP did not get back to you after you sent the email explaining the need for further information yet he posted here effectively saying there was nothing else to send to Duelbits.

I am glad to read the matter has not been closed from your side and as soon as the OP is able to provide you with the specific information you asked for, you will be able to assist him further.

I have collaborated for some time with important financial institutions.
What I can say from my experience is that AML policies should concern the sums deposited: if a person deposits disproportionate sums you should intervene first to block him and ask for clarifications.
By only intervening at the time he attempts a withdrawal, then you lose credibility

Dear Community Members,

We would like to address the concerns raised regarding the $500k withdrawal currently on hold. We appreciate your concerns in this matter.

First and foremost, we want to emphasise that it would be much easier for us to release the withdrawal to avoid any negative exposure within this thread. However, doing so without obtaining the necessary information from the user would have serious consequences.

We understand the desire for transparency, but we must uphold the utmost confidentiality when dealing with such matters. It would be highly unprofessional to publicly disclose any further details about this case or the user involved.

As many of you are aware, we are one of the most reputable crypto casinos. We have successfully processed thousands of withdrawals of similar or even higher amounts within a matter of seconds to minutes.

Nevertheless, there are rare instances where we require additional information before processing such significant withdrawals. This is done to ensure the protection of our users and maintain the integrity of our platform.

Currently, we are still awaiting the full set of information required from the user. We have received partial information, which so far has been highly appreciated, but there is one last piece of the puzzle that is still missing.

Once we receive the complete and necessary details, we can proceed with the withdrawal promptly.

Please rest assured that our team is available 24/7, dedicated to resolving similar cases as efficiently as possible. However, we rely on the full cooperation of our users to expedite the process.

If you have any further inquiries or if additional information is required, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to assist you.

You have a valid point and that is why Duelbits should post here providing some information that would be deemed satisfactory to the majority of those participating in this thread.

In my view, the idea that Duelbits could scam the OP is as preposterous as they come because Duelbits are not scammers but the way they have handled this allegation is sub-standard and they should have been better in their communication.

It has raised questions if they have allowed withdrawal of that much money (4x $500,000) and then blocking the 5th request (1x $500,000) without providing the OP with a clear indication of what their investigation team allegedly found and without asking him for details regarding a specific transaction or deposit.

It does have to be said though, Duelbits have not come out of this situation looking good at all when they could have (and probably should have) at least made a public statement that would have provided a better explanation. They have asked for further information in the 15th June 2023 email, the OP has not sent it and Duelbits have not sent another therefore the situation is at a stalemate.

What more (specifically) do Duelbits want from the OP?

Amazing how you can say so much without saying anything.

How can someone show endless transactions? What if he doesn't use an old wallet anymore? Also, why does duelbits even want to see all of these, for what reason? And why now, after withdrawing much more before? Makes 0 sense and doesn't look good in my opinion.

Of course they can just refer to the TOS, as usual. But tell us, why? Why is OP being targeted even though he didn't violate any rules? There are no allegations of multi accounting, arbitrage betting or other nonsense casinos come up with so they don't have to pay.

I think some members here are conflating your lack of elaborating with you treating the OP unfairly. From experience in posting in many scam allegation threads I am fairly confident Duelbits must have good reason to payout all that money to the OP and then refuse to payout the final request.

From what I can see, it also looks as like the OP has not met the request to provide further information. If the OP has supplied a few Etherscan links and not much else then maybe he should gather together some more of the evidence you are requesting. Have you made it clear specifically what you are looking for him to send you (other than transactions that align with your records)?

We want to address your concerns regarding withdrawal processing and assure you of our commitment to prompt service.

As a responsible gaming platform, we have implemented measures to safeguard the security and fairness of our platform. On rare occasions, our dedicated verification team may come across anomalies or unusual patterns associated with an account.

In such cases, our team conducts a thorough investigation to ensure the legitimacy of the transactions involved. This process is crucial to protect our players and uphold the integrity of Duelbits. Throughout the verification process, we work closely with the account holder, requesting specific information and ensuring their privacy and confidentiality.

Please rest assured that any delays experienced during the verification process are solely aimed at ensuring the highest levels of security and transparency.

Our dedicated team is committed to completing this process as efficiently as possible, with the goal of minimizing any inconvenience to our valued users.

If you have further concerns or require clarification specific to your situation, please do not hesitate to contact our support team. We are here to assist you and address any queries you may have.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have given them what they asked for and they have said the information does not align with the actual records then there is a dispute. If you adhered to their requests for proofs and documents, you should not hesitate to take any form of legal action. If they receive a legal notice from your lawyer maybe they will have to give a further explanation as to why they refused the withdrawals or they will write to the Court asking for proceedings to not go ahead based on them releasing evidence to a judge.

Just because Duelbits are not stating the exact issue that made them stop you from making the withdrawal does not mean there is no issue and does not mean they will not release that information at a later date to yourself, your lawyer or a judge.

The Duelbits forum representative should post here again to explain whatever they can about the issue and either contradict or challenge the OP on his statements or simply accept they selective scammed him. A statement from Duelbits in this thread is overdue.

I am not implying Duelbits or any other casino should not be punished in any capacity, on the contrary any scammer or selective scammer should be punished but as of now we do not have a better picture of what is going on because (apart from one post from the Duelbits forum representative) this thread has effectively been a one-side story.

Regarding the deposits made by the OP, after he sent them various proofs he received this from Duelbits in reply: "In order to thoroughly investigate and address this issue, we kindly request that you provide additional evidence that clearly shows the origin and path of the funds involved. It would be helpful if the proofs include specific dates, times, and any relevant transaction reference numbers. By providing such information, we can better understand the situation and work towards a satisfactory resolution."

I understand there are screenshots of how successful the OP may have been at other casinos but at the moment keep his alleged winning streak aside. Did the OP send additional information after this email from Duelbits on 15th June 2023?

In the deposits screenshot it shows the OP made 10 deposits within a 24 day period ranging from $23,000 to $199,000 with both BTC and USDT.

Unless I am missing something, if all he sent to Duelbits were 3 Etherscan links with a few thousand USD$ in transactions and nothing else subsequently even though he was requested to send more, then that could be (in part) the reason why the issue currently remains unresolved.

Before he commences legal action against Duelbits I think the OP should at least explore this avenue beforehand.

I get your point, and I agree that the only thing OP can do is pursue this matter through legal action.
But what other people asking here is 'What could DuelBits do better in this matter?' your previous post seems to imply that DuelBit shouldn't be 'punish' for what they've done to the OP, and they are not obligated to do more effort to find the best way to solve the problem.

I am not saying that the OP is 100% right and DuelBits is scamming, OP has sent step-by-step the details on how he acquire the fund he use to gamble, but seems like nothing is right, and theres no details on what is wrong, only shallow explanation that it's not align with their system.

The next question would be what would the other gamblers do? should they keep depositing money to the site while they know Duelbits could do the same to them as they do the the OP.

Apart from a lawyer, he has no other option, but this way he will also take additional money over the 500k

Your comments have been noted and we agree to disagree because I am saying my assumption is correct

Keeping aside our differences of opinion related to this matter, what do you think the OP should do next in order to try have access to the funds he claims were scammed. Apart from proceeding via a legal channel what else would you suggest and do you think he should appoint a lawyer to represent him?
