Why don't you bet the same amount each time then you will just need more wins then loses to profit and it will be easier to learn.
On a lose you will lose less and it will be easier to handle rather then losing the whole $40 which is very wasteful.

Woah, $40 is quite a decent amount for me. As I have read on the recent comments, it seems that it's not the first time that this happened. However, you also have a mistake of not having your 2FA enabled and I think you already learned a lesson from this. I hope the support can still address your issue. Well, I don't really know how they will look into it, maybe they can't do anything with this since bitcoin transaction is irreversible, so expect the worst of not getting back your money.

Losing on a bet is different than losing your money on a random withdrawal. Also, dude, pics or it never happened. This is somewhat accusing the site of wrong doings, which is clearly bad for their image. Maybe, you disclosed your password to someone and they withdrawn it to an address you know nothing about.

It's always bad to be the victim of a theft but I don't really understand how they steal your money in Nitrogensports. Is it really that easy to steal funds? I don't like the idea when you have to register and add funds to make bets. I wish every site follow Directbet's steps and make instant withdrawal directly to our wallet instead of an online account. You are lucky you only lost small amount.
Thats why 2fa is the most important thing you need if you make an account on some casino. Its a common thing to see many hijacking happens to users who didnt set 2fa on their security setting. I never faced this issue personally, but since I has seen many cases like this, so I have set 2fa in every site who has my bitcoin there.

I am sorry to hear that before it has happen to me too. It is from Fortunejack account and my account was being hijack. I lost like 5 weeks of signature campaign. It is all due to laziness that i never put 2fa. And it just happen like last week so hopefully with 2fa and new password, the hacker wont be able to access to my account again. Although it may not be much to some people, but 5 weeks of effort in signature campaign is definitely worth some sweat.
Yes, so sad for your lost my mate. I too faced this problem in Fortunejack site. I lost around 0.06 BTC. But it is not a site issue, and some one hacked my account, and he used my coins and played some slot games. Next day when I login to my account, my balance was zero. After that, I gave new password and 2fa to save my account. I feel
The very first rule in the network, it is good to have a password to their data, as well as the periodic replacement. This will allow to protect themselves from losing their money.

Well you've made your own decision mate. I think you were on the part also of what must of the gamblers experience, $40 for me is quite big amount and i think you can't afford to lose it all.

Do you try to contact the support at nitrogensports ? I also saw this same like you at nitrogen live chat and their support can't help him, it's really sucks.
I hate to continue hearing stories like this  Embarrassed
It is a shame that a well known casino such as this can not help a customer of theirs in a time they ask for help but get nothing from them for the money and time that they spend there.
Just a pure shame. Angry

Change your passwords on the most important sites & apps to VERY secure ones. Download a good antivirus, scan your PC with it. If possible, even reinstall your OS. I had this problem too, but fortunately I changed my passwords just in time. A simple app that didn't load up and seemed legit injected a keylogger in my account. Now I've secured my PC with the best antivirus software I found. Be very careful - using one password for all accounts can be a BIG mistake. That was mine, and I'm so happy now I didn't loose my funds.

this is the nature of betting as you may lose sometimes and win other times but remember you can lose more than what you can win.
move it to services section.
I do believe he's saying that his money was stolen, not lost on a bet.

OP, what the hell happened?  That sucks--these bitcoin establishments seem to be mostly corrupt.  Exchanges, cloud mining, casinos.  But if it's malware you better take care of that stat.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
$40 is a big amount to lose on a sports betting site. I lost that amount once but it was to a trade which I think is worst to lose it that way because atleast with gambling you have chance.  Embarrassed

I had this happen to me on moneypot but it makes  no sense since I was actively online st the time. Also the withdraw was to an address that started with 3 , I though bitcoin addresses start with 1 Huh Wtf I'm confused.

Yesterday

I deposited $40 into Nitrogensports

I betted on a game and won from 0.06 Btc > 0.11 Btc

This morning

I Woke up and bet 0.05 btc on a game

And the game lost.

So thinking to cash out what i have deposit, i access to my account. I look at my balance : 700 satoshi left.

I bet 0.05 Btc on 8.30 AM

And on the 8:52 AM, there's a withdrawal went out to some random address.
My email is not notified, nothing. The money just gone.

This is the first time i lost my money on website because of hijacked by people.

Most of my account is activated with 2FA, email request before withdraw and bla.

Except this, yesterday is the first day i deposit the money and on the next day, my money is gone.

Therefore, put security settings on your account to protect yourself Cheesy
In as much, as you understood the risk of betting in which you might win or not. I think NItrogen Sports owe you the duty of care to keep your funds secure for crying out loud. If I lose I should lose fairly but not because someone fail to perform its own duty to the fullest and I think they should be held responsible and also its a dent on their image that my funds is not secured on their platform...This is a lesson for everyone though... my 2 cents...

Yesterday there was another guy were telling that he lost his deposit in that casino too. I don't believe it has something to do with hackers, keyloggers, trojans. Some shady shit going on that website, i think you are very lucky that you get away with 40bucks, the guy from yesterday lost hundreds of btc's if my memory serves me right.
I know i saw the same accusation against this particular being posted a short while ago too.
This can not be sheer coincidence that these things are happening all the sudden when nobody really had any major complaints like this before.
Could they maybe be going bankrupt and trying to rake back as much bitcoins as they can before closing it's doors?

I think your PC isn't secured , I hear that it's easy to hack accounts that doesn't have 2FA but you got hacked in one day so I think the problem in your PC
I'm sorry that you didn't set 2FA for nitro , but it's a good lesson for all of us to set 2FA even before depositing

yea, but still worth the lesson learned!  Grin

Actually in most of the sites there is not 2fa security feature so best idea and easy one is to have different password for different websites and also try to use different personal email address for bitcoin and wallet related websites.
