Here to confirm that Ryan is indeed a fraud. He has different aliases on Bitcointalk and the casinos he is showing off in order to close deals aren't his. His entire business model is well crafted to deceive potential buyers by offering to integrate game providers at a fraction of the usual costs and with no contracts.
He claims he has the source code for pig.bet but the websites he is using to present the functionalities are casinos such as wolf.bet, duelbits, and more.
My advice is to stay away from his services.

Feeling sad after reading your full story. It seems to me that the person you are talking about "Ryan" cleverly did everything from his end and you made the first mistake by using his service. Its always risky to work with someone like him where you don't know his real identity.
For now you can create a flag against this user and add the flag link on your main topic.
All of Ryan's contact details are below, it is extremely hard on me as the moment spent here was my savings (I am 19), but hopefully, this post can spread awareness of this scam.
You got scammed due to lack of experience and believe on a stranger. I don’t think he is gonna pay back where he have already erased chat history and blocked you. I don't know you have contacted him through bitcointalk PM or not but you can notifying him about this thread by giving him a text. Without taking the help of trusted escrow providers its always risky to deal with newbies and sorry to say that the profile link you provided here is a newbie account. For now you can create a flag against this user and add the flag link on your main topic.
Really hard lesson for the OP. But since he is still very young, just think that he can always get the money back but serve that situation as a learning experience to deal with people online. They are so many of them, masked in all forms.
By the way, in amphoras account, which the OP said is his btctalk account, there's feedback saying totally scam. I don't know if the OP has seen that before.

Damn, I read the full story. This is the reason we should never trust anyone online without verifying their history. You learned a hard lesson but take it positively.
Hello everyone,
My name is Drex. I was scammed over $12,000.
I recently invested my hard-earned bitcoin into a bitcoin gambling website created by "Ryan".
I found Ryan advertising his "premade" gambling website as you can see here:
https://cazino.ltd/
I later found out he has 2 websites advertising this which is clearly sketchy:
https://managedcasino.com/
I contacted him about this. He advertised this demo site of what our site can be with his code: https://beta.bets.io/
Which is down at the moment (as he scammed). He advertised this site which looked amazing as you can see in the following image: https://imgur.com/a/79oVvKG
Ryan offered that we could pay $15,000 for the code and full rights to the backend/frontend etc or a "deal" that was renting the code for $1,500 a month and we wouldn't have access to the backend (as we didn't pay for the rights to it) but an admin panel for our everyday needs. The reason he charged $1,500 a month was he wanted to "gather data" and learn what works and what doesn't.
He showed us the backend and showed us his code and was editing it live on discord while screen sharing etc so we began gaining trust. Once we agreed on $1,500 we paid him and he instantly began "working" and created a Zoho mail and stream as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/Oaxl7g8
He also gave us a notepad file showing the possibilities the code has to add to our site as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/Fod0IcX
He also created an excel file that myself and my team could add too of lists of jobs that needed to be completed to maximize profits on release day, you can check out this excel file here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GOuyFb67tu5_FOQOmKyrZmY7iMVd2Sh3xxGqsOOVItc/edit?usp=sharing
Once all this was set up he then charged a setup fee to customize the demo site he linked earlier to our liking which he never mentioned prior we assumed this was included in the $1,500 a month but we paid the $2,000 anyway and he changed the color of the background although when we asked for certain things to be done that were more advanced such as:
Custom Currency
Custom design (we wanted to move login buttons etc)
1% Max Bet
Although for everything we asked that was a slight bit difficult he would complain and say "there is no need" or come up with some stupid excuse.
We wanted a custom Crash animation and of course, Ryan said "I know a guy" he made a group chat with me and his "friend" (Bass)and explained what I wanted the designer said it would cost $200 to which I paid, I asked for updates and I was told I would get them, and he would send updates and send the animation to Ryan's email
I woke up in the morning with no new messages, I was getting worried and questioned "Any updates? @Bass", I've never heard from Bass again...although Ryan replied saying "He sent through just havent got to it yet.." pretty much saying he got them via email: https://imgur.com/a/HVwK6jh
I never saw this animation I'm 99% sure this is just another of Ryan's alts, although this Discord account was made in 2017 (I checked the ID), still probably Ryan
We made a list of stuff that needed to be done, one was the hot wallet needed for the website, we agreed we would begin with 0.9 bitcoins. We asked Ryan what wallet shall we use to which he replied with Electrum. My partner Elifeur was in charge of setting up the hot wallet with Ryan as I was heading to sleep at the time.
Ryan said he would DM Eli regarding how to set up which at the time I didn't think anything of it, but he did this to blame Eli specifically when our bitcoin "disappeared".
Elifeur sent 0.9 bitcoin to the wallet to which Ryan had access too to "help Eli set it up". The moment the bitcoin was confirmed in the wallet, exactly 5 mins later the money was withdrawn: https://imgur.com/a/oWSTlyb
Now it would be completely illogical for Elifeur to withdraw his own money and blame it on Ryan (Dev) as what is the logic in that?
We confronted Ryan about this to which he said:https://imgur.com/a/jLcCTMj
A friend of mine who was interested in this project called Ryan a scammer in DM's which "frustrated him" and he avoided talking in the group chat we made (that we could all see) and wanted to just talk to me in DM's:
https://imgur.com/a/jLcCTMj
https://imgur.com/a/wdBsKON
https://imgur.com/a/fkwjpiV
Ryan started blaming Elifeur for "messing up" with the wallet setup although he told Elifeur exactly what to do in DM's (which Ryan deleted)
I began questioning where our 0.9 bitcoin ($9,800) was, and Ryan's excuse was "idk":
https://imgur.com/a/PJpuKju
Ryan wanted to stop talking about this ASAP:
https://imgur.com/a/WGJtB1w
Ryan started saying stealing 0.9 bitcoin wouldn't be worth his time:
https://imgur.com/a/wlyry7I
Around this time all the site animations and functions started to stop working:
https://imgur.com/a/prwtRnY
I sent a very formal message explaining how we felt as customers and Ryan was saying we were "jumping to conclusions":
https://imgur.com/a/HdM2Qn0
He went offline and then left the group chat in both his accounts and wiped Elifeur's and his chat and our friend (Deleted Account) who called him a scammer:
https://imgur.com/a/JwycBVX
Ryan then randomly contacted us 3 days later and said he would pay the 0.9 out of his "own pocket" and keep continuing on the site which clearly showed he had our money, we agreed as if we could at least get our money back and leave this project the only thing we would lose is time.
He said he would pay the money then changed his mind a few minutes later and said "I'll pay 0.45 because you guys are lowering my reputation calling me a scammer" we waited a few days with no sign of any money to which he said he would pay the money on 5th October (Monday) we waited until:
Monday..nothing..
Tuesday...nothing
Wednesday = I contacted him saying if he didn't reply in the next 24 hours we would expose him.
It is now Thursday and he has wiped my chat and blocked me:
https://imgur.com/a/KLCyBNA
You can see in the following images all the money was withdrawn from the Hot Wallet to a Bitcoin Address that instantly was sent to 2 more wallets:
https://imgur.com/a/cx6KuvV
https://imgur.com/a/nhlaETE
https://imgur.com/a/yi1T4XL
https://imgur.com/a/2Tg7Hch
As Elifeur paid for most of the project and my aim was he could keep my % of earnings for a period of time until the money was paid off, Elifeur and I are now down $12,000 and I owe Elifeur $6,000 to which is scammed from Ryan.
All of Ryan's contact details are below, it is extremely hard on me as the moment spent here was my savings (I am 19), but hopefully, this post can spread awareness of this scam.
Thanks,
Drex
