Topic: Fairlay withholding my BTC for currently no real explanation - page 2. (Read 596 times)

Back then contacting them or their support was an issue because there would be times when their chatbox isn't active. Other than their official email, the chatbox is the only way to get in contact with their support if you have a problem. But those problem you'll see in the thread are old problems and no one's complaining about their service recently until now.

You could try sharing your issue here in this subreddit. A user who had a similar issue (confiscated funds) posted his problem there and it gained a lot of attention. 

Fair Warning: I've posted on a few other forums, but seems like this is one that Fairlay actually responds to, so apologies if you've already seen


I’ve been an established user of Fairlay for the last 7 months, VIP level 5, and have generally had a great relationship with them (even reporting bugs several times and also suggesting site improvements that were implemented)

Around 12 days ago, I submitted a deposit and it was not credited to my account, I had been using the site consistently day to day for the months prior. I reported the issue and what seemed to be a bug, eventually they said that my account was flagged.

My coin is all legit, never used a dark site in my life, I always bet so no question of money laundering (the only scam I’ve seen reported was bc someone was depositing and not betting), and no funny business in terms of betting. Also my most recent deposit was straight from an exchange so, I know specifically there’s nothing wrong with that deposit. Additionally, it feels especially questionable as they could have warned me before I deposited and locked up my money if my account was flagged, this way it looks like they intentionally were trying to wait for a next deposit.

They stopped responding to me over a week ago, and they’ve never told me what I’m getting flagged for, which is the worst part. All was said was that an “external party” flagged my account. That in itself is questionable, how could a third party even be involved? I’ve been patient, I’ve offered to help, and I’ve done everything they’ve asked (they asked for a number to reach me). I hate blasting them, and have waited a long time to do so to give them a fair chance, but it’s looking increasingly like nothing is happening so I’m trying to lever pressure for at least a response or explanation.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am so very confident that I did nothing to violate their terms and conditions, and they seem to be violating clauses in their t&c and faqs themselves

If tainted coins are the problem he would have a problem with the exchange as well.
But he stated that he has no issues with his account at the exchange where
the funds were coming from.

I´m really curious which 3rd party Fairlay is talking about here. Given the fact that
Fairlay is not licensed anywhere in the world I don´t really understand why they would
work with a company like Chainalysis (I suspect that the 3rd party that they talk
about is one of these blockchain analytics companies).

...
as for the possible reasons it could be the tainted coins you got from an exchange or your IP flagged
...

but for now I would suggest waiting for a response
sometimes false positives happen , errare humanum est like our Latin friends used to say

I think you should move this thread (or make a new one?) in the Reputation board of this forum. This is where suspicious cases belong, and this is where they receive attention and get investigated. If you go with moving the thread, just scroll till the end of the first page and look near the left bottom corner, it should have a 'Move' button.
I don't think I even heard of Fairlay, but it seems to be a casino with normal reputation. At least, even though back in 2017 there was a scam accusation thread against them, their bitcointalk account does not have negative trust feedback. The profile has not been active for weeks, unfortunately, but I guess there's a chance they'll respond to a reputation thread if you make it. I hope the matter will be peacefully resolved, and you'll get your money in case you did not violate any of the casino's rules. You can also try to attract their attention by posting something in their ANN thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fairlay-sports-betting-for-experts-highest-liquidity-provably-best-odds-673475
Good luck!

Reading Fairly Thread, I see there so many problems for their service with :

• Match
• Wager
• etc.

Also, some people say their service support was really hard to contact. But the weird thing you need to pay some mBTC only to contact their support VIP, Don't know what the difference with the support service VIP or Non-VIP. Because of that, I suggest to everyone better avoid this service.

I did tweet, I don't know about a Reddit - they claim a 3rd party has allegations against me but I can't think of what it could be. I know it's not source of where I sent my deposit, as I am still fine.

Do you have other forums/places I should be posting on?

Now, OP, you really need to reach out in as many public channels as possible. I hope you've already contacted them in Twitter as well? Maybe even reddit?
If you're telling the truth, it's plain and simple theft they're committing. 

He doesn't have to remove the post, he just needs to give a source if possible.
Though in this case, he already prefaced his post saying that he posted this on multiple forums, I think it's clear he's not plagiarizing.

Do try, in fact, remove; any copies of this post. If you have done cross-posting, you might get yourself in trouble with the forum. Stick to a single post about this matter in a single place. Maybe here or in Gambling Discussion if this is a gambling site. Otherwise service discussion i think. Cross posting not only does not make your message more read, it might in fact trigger mod reaction and you will get the opposite effect. Don't say sorry, just don't do it, you already know its bad.

Certainly, if you use Skrill / Neteller, it is stipulated in the contract that they can exchange our information with bookmakers.
Instead for BTC deposits / withdrawals you have to be careful that the BTC addresses are personal.
Finally, we must be careful about the cookies that some bookmakers use to spy on us
