Topic: How I got scammed by chips.gg with insane proof from their employee (Read 1162 times)

Whoever the person is that contacted me, they didn't want to post about it in public. I hope you understand when I say I am not going to reveal their name in public either. I will leave it up to them to post about it publicly if they feel they should or if it's time. I was also approached by a highly trusted legendary-rank user who confirmed the story about Chips.gg and their owner soon after that. Now, it's a waiting game.

Seems like RioVIP is the whistle-blower as the way he has introduced himself here. He is also talking about the inside information which was published by the Chips.gg Casino Guru representative in the first few posts.

Haven't you received PM from the same person who had sent me PM? We are dealing with a lot of newbies here if RioVIP or Magalon isn't the person who approached you through PM. Unfortunately, none of them provided any evidences here until now.

No, this isn't the person I have been in contact with via PMs. It looks to me like RioVIP was an old player who later got promoted to some staff position. Mookis123 mentioned there was an additional player who was scammed by the casino and that she would tell them to post here. Maybe RioVIP is that player.

Hi, I understand correctly that you're the one PMing Pmalek a little while ago? Thank you for stepping up. If you can provide the supporting evidence of the statements made above, it'll be very highly appreciated. You might want to make a new thread if the evidence you have and ready to share involves many other cases, and probably will be the best to stick with this thread if they're isolated only on mookis123's case.

Hello everyone,

In the realm of truth, sometimes confronting it can lead to challenges, such as job losses. Yet, the essence of truth remains invaluable. As someone who deeply believes in karma, I am Rio, the individual previously associated with Chips gg.

The Mookis123 story was indeed unfortunate I really feel bad for her.  She won ~11 ETH on Crazy Time by Evolution Gaming—a trusted live casino provider which no need to be validated.

However, the actions taken by the management at Chipsgg, particularly by Tacyarg, towards her were concerning. Yes, Tacyarg blocked her withdrawal for several days or almost full week. Mookis123 for sure got frustrated and played the funds since she couldn't do anything. She did full KYC on site and still the chips management won't let her withdraw and remain her withdrawal locked. she faced unnecessary delays and obstacles in withdrawing her winnings.

I can share from inside, the Tacyarg there said "not everyone comes to a site and wins 20k on a brand new account". So basically this site will not let everyone withdraw their winning especially big winning if new account? How could the site grow? No they will not!! It was fully scam strategy and they will only let players who has lost big to withdraw.

Additionally, it's concerning to note that Chipsgg operates without a valid license, rendering many of their Terms of Service (TOS) potentially void. The unchecked authority wielded by individuals like Tacyarg, who seemingly have the power to ban or disable accounts at will, is alarming.

I have personal account on Chips which wagered above $500k and level 105 when the site was legit and run by real owner before Tacyarg corrupted the company from real owner. And what happen to my personal account? Drawing from my personal experience, my account, which had substantial activity, was unjustly banned, highlighting the risks associated with the platform.

I am here to tell all the truth and I have proof.

Why did i do this? The answer is simple "I had enough". the Mookis123's case was really stressful for every staff. Even my colleagues is keep following up about her case. But yeah they remain silent and I can understand salary $$ is important to them. for me too yes! But truth is precious, caring customer is number 1.

Mookis123 is really legit and what she got? She really didnt deserve all the scam happened to her. I get she got stressed by her ticket. Tacyarg opened her withdrawal only after Mookis123 exhausting her winnings and only let her withdraw her initial deposit.

Some of you might be wondering about my actions and choices. Why didn’t I stand by Chipsgg or loyal to chipsgg?

To be clear: The reason because the site is running without any license and I don't want to be a scammer to players/customers. On my personal experience, most of support tickets will be about withdrawal issue and players get limited to enjoy/withdraw their winning

 I've always believed in doing right by people, especially the customers. My heart has always leaned towards serving and protecting them. They deserve honesty and genuine care, and that's where my loyalty lies.

It is my hope that Evolution Gaming provider, being a reputable entity, becomes aware of this story.

Best regards

I had received a PM from someone too. The person has introduced himself as the owner of Chips.gg gambling license. But there wasn't any evidence from him about his claim. So, I had suggested the user to post about it in this thread. Unfortunately, he hasn't made any post here. The name of that user is also mentioned in this article of BTCGOSU: Chips.gg Casino Plunges into Chaos: Co-Founder Accusations and Unexpected Maintenance

The person has been addressed as the co-founder of Chips.gg in the BTCGOSU article, and he is known as Magalon. The user had sent me a PM on the 24th December.

They didn't claim that the representative account was hacked. I guess, the conflict between the owners are creating this confusions. Seems like the license owner of Chips.gg (most probably 'Magalon') has published those inside information by using a support agent. It may not be faked.

Hmm... this is a nice development, but I think we can and should consider his silence [if he never replied to you, and assuming he is the whistleblower] is due to an NDA upon his termination that prohibit him from spilling any more tea on this issue. That's logically what I'll do as a damage control when my company is exposed by one of my [now former] employee.

Chipsgg's representative can clear all of these issues [together with several points being asked throughout the thread] if they really interested to clean their reputation, but they don't even bother to answer any [legit] question surrounding this situation or anything related to the nature of their business.

Yes, that's correct. I was approached by someone claiming to be the whistleblower, and they are using their own account. I thought the same person might have approached you and/or Mahdirakib as well. I guess that wasn't the case.

My take on the whole thing is that the whistleblower had access to the account on Casino.Guru. Once the owner found out, they removed that access, probably fired the whistleblower with immediate affect, and revoked all access rights. I am also interested in finding out how those private conversations were saved and leaked. Are they saying they got hacked? Because the casino hasn't claimed that before. Are they saying the screenshots were fabricated and faked (it's easy to change text on a website and make screenshots of it) because I haven't seen that either!? All off a sudden, it didn't happen and everything is a fabrication . 

Now the situation is more interesting here. Looks like Chips.gg Casino Guru representative has two sides. At the initial stage, the representative had said that everything was done by the owner intentionally. After that, the representative started to disclose other information which hasn't been shared by the OP. If the whistle-blower wasn't an employer then how he got the access to the Chips.gg Casino Guru account!! The questionable conversations of the owner with the staff was also published by the Chips.gg Casino Guru representative in the early posts. Still Casino Guru team is addressing this issue as fabricate!

I believe, and I think we all know here, that's the main reason and the goal aimed by the casino by holding that winning. OP fall right into their play.


I can't help but wonder... how on earth will they explain someone that is not their employee get a hold into their account in CasinoGuru? That thing aside, if I may know, does that whistle-blower is the one you mentioned on your previous post approaching you through PM? I assume they use their own account and not chipsgg's?

The OP continuing to play is just a case of a gambler not knowing better, perhaps even one with a self-destructive attitude towards gambling that results in them making bad financial decisions. But that's a different topic of discussion.

A new update in the CasinoGuru case.
It has now official been closed by their complaints team. Their conclusion is that the whole thing was a fabrication. They claim that the whistle-blower was never an employer of Chips.gg.
I am reaching out to the alleged whistle-blower to provide me with more proof, otherwise I am deleting my original feedback for the casino.   

Yeah, I followed their case on CG, visiting the thread every now and then to keep myself updated, but thank you for notifying me. Regarding the verdict given by the mediator, I have to say that it's quite surprising that they ruled against OP, but at the same time, it also bears its weight if we tunneled the case strictly on the blocking of the withdrawal [namely, why would OP still depositing and playing in spite of all of the situation] instead of the bigger scope like all of the other things they did; the withdrawal blocking [which we all know the real reason behind it], the issues raised by efialtis on his article, the cheering, the warning given by the whistleblower [I don' think I understand this part correctly, what's the outcome for this matter?].

As for adjusting the negative feedback, yes, when the case is marked as closed by CasinoGuru's mediator [which yet to happen], I will adhere to the verdict given and adjust it accordingly to make sure what's said there is true to the most recent situation and development, lest someone --that's simply here looking for dirt-- use it as a way to stick it to my chute by complaining about it. What will it say or whether it will be completely removed, though, is fully depend on Chip's representative's answer here on the questions that's left unanswered, because, those things above are not cleared and [currently] not being discussed on CG, and one thing that I think any sane person with an ability to process logic will agree is that those points are worrisome for a casino to have.

The case is still not closed from what I can see. Five days ago, one of their agents rejected the complaint, but after that the player made two more posts that are not yet public on CasinoGuru. Let's see what happens after the timer runs out. I expected to hear more from the person who approached me via PMs, but they have gone radio-silent. I will send them another message to check what is going on with the case against the casino.

@Pmalek, @holydarkness, I'm mentioning both of you here and bumping this thread as I just noticed that the mediator (Casino Guru) has ruled against the OP. Because the OP has played with deposits and made withdrawal even after facing the withdrawal issues before. Still, the behaviour of the casino admin and support team are questionable as they are intentionally blocking the withdrawals of a user who wins big, then they were celebrating when the user lost his money. And the unavailability of their license is questionable too.

Based on the current situation, do you have any plan to adjust the negative feedback which has been left on Chips.gg representative account?

Based on your deposit address, you have indeed played with deposits even after submitting the complaint on Casino Guru and creating this thread here. Which is strange. Why have you done it while Chips.gg had blocked your withdrawal when you won big before 19th November?

Maybe his allegation isn't accurate. But what about the conversations of 'tacyarg' with other staff? tacyarg has suggested the staff to block the user account who will win big. And tacyarg was also celebrating when a user (OP) has lost his account balance by facing the withdrawal block issue. How ethical is it?



And you are continuously ignoring the questions about the Curacao gambling license of Chips.gg. I have asked it before and holydarkness has highlighted it also. Why are you ignoring this question?

Ahh... I see, OP might miunderstood the meaning of "have a good standing", thinking it means she need to be in a good term with the casino, while what the live support tried to say is to have a good reputation.

While you're here, where are we with your license, again? I see that it's still not being cleared although it's been asked two times.

Regarding the specific case in question, it is important to clarify that the player did make further deposits not displayed in our provided screenshots. However, the allegation at hand pertains to the player's claimed inability to withdraw funds including winnings, which allegedly compelled them to continue wagering. It's crucial to note that this allegation is not accurate.

As previously noted in our initial response, when the player's account was unlocked, they regained full access to their entire balance including winnings, which amounted to 13.95 ETH on 11/19/2023.

Subsequently, the player proceeded to engage in further gameplay, including making deposits and withdrawals, without encountering any further issues on the platform. This is substantiated by their consistent use of the platform from 11/19/2023, to 12/15/2023, as evidenced by their continued gameplay and wallet transactions during this period.

All players at Chips have the option to implement Self-Exclusion measures through various accessible methods, including the option for indefinite Self-Exclusion, which can be conveniently set up within their user profile. You can initiate Self-Exclusion by visiting the following link: https://chips.gg/profile/general-responsible-gambling.





Furthermore, there have been allegations suggesting that our agents requested a 5-star review in exchange for preferential treatment on our platform. We want to unequivocally state that such a practice is not only false but also contrary to our review policies, and it raises ethical concerns that we take very seriously.

I see that the deposit they shown on their screenshot seems to be cut, maybe to the next page, and since you made multiple deposits at that day, it doesn't show the same amount as you stated.

May I know why do you still deposit several times on their platform although you already have a problem with them?

I've deposited 9k. I am absolutely certain about it.

No because I don't have access to my account anymore. I requested a self exclusion because I didn't want to play anymore on their website or have anything else to do with them. I can't access my account anymore. I've deleted my Google authenticator so I won't be able to deposit. Like I said, I've requested to self exclude like 5 times through email. No answer at all. That's why I decided to delete my Google authenticator so I can't login into the account anymore

I've only withdrawn when they allowed me to. That's after a week after my win.
