Hi holydarkness,


Please kindly understand that as per our Terms & Conditions, we are under no obligation to provide excessive details to a user who's been banned for his or her violation of the T&C. As far as we know, no such law exists in Curacao, or any other countries.

In fact, when an account got banned, providing the clauses being triggered, which is what we do, is the already much better than what a lot of other casinos do. Lots of other casinos would simply tell the player there is a T&C violation and that's it. This should be no news to you if you are a player yourself.

This is the industry's standard practice because of 2 reasons:
1. a detailed explanation will require not only manpower but also someone who is more senior and experienced, thus a significant operation cost. A casino will have to weaken its RTP/Odds to cover such cost, which in the end hurt users and ruins the business;
2. banned accounts are often abusers, and abusers abuse by looking for the hole in a casino's anti-abuse mechanism. Giving the details to banned accounts will inevitably provide needed insights to abusers, who will then further exploit based on their newly gained knowledge.

We provide T&C clauses triggered because we do care about the player's experiences, even when the player is likely an abuser. But unfortunately this is already the best we can do as a business, unless one day the majority of players start to favor a lower RTP/Odds in exchange for a detailed explanation when being banned (which don't happen for most players), and casino abusers disappear for good from the internet.

We will deeply appreciate your understanding.


Thank you.

I see that you "have money", yeah.
1. You are scammers who do not answer e-mails, do not provide clarifications and do not want to resolve the issue.
2. In my thread, you stopped responding and getting in touch, just like real scammers.
3. I gave you permission to provide my personal data to prove that I violated, however, you did not give any evidence that I was an infringer.
4. In my thread, they sent evidence that I did not make a late game, but you claimed that I bet on it, again a hoax.
   I don't know how can you behave like this? I played honestly, I trusted your casino, I bet a lot with you, but I didn’t think that this would happen to me if I knew that you behave this way .... corny don’t answer the players ... I would just didn't play you. Why didn't you write to me after manual withdrawals? "Man, we don't really like what you're doing, please withdraw the money and don't come here again", why do you need to pull to the last and wait until there is a large balance on your account to confiscate it? Only geeks do that.

Hi holydarkness,


We appreciate your questions.


you banned their account because they had suspicious behavior --i.e. insider info
I am afraid there is a major misunderstanding here. As I previously stated:
(Note: This is not related to this case in discussion here)
So when I discussed about insider info above, I was simply answering your question about the T&C clause related to insider info. Such explanation has no direct relevance to the OP's case, or any specific cases. It was just to explain the clause.

[...]

Ahh, I see. Yes, I'll openly admit that there is a major misunderstanding from my side. The way your team explained to OP on email suggested that their account is banned due to insider info --why else would you mention this point on email if that is not the reason or related at any degree to their account freezing-- and I take that it's far from it, then? OP's account is not suspected of insider info?

Would you elaborate more on the reason? You can't give evidences due to the backlash you received on previous case, okay, arguably understandable, but certainly a casino --or any business entity-- should inform their user the reason of the banning so their user could defend themselves with proper evidence?

From what we can take from the email, the possible reasons are (1) misconduct, (2) insider info, (3) multi-alt abuse, or (4) a breach in TnC.

I think we can safely cross reason number (2) based on your own statement, and (3) because if OP is multiacc-ing, they'll quite reluctant to do KYC instead of offering them. So, point number (1) which would need you to to explain which misconduct is it because the term is very wide, or point (4) that's even more vague and widely open for misinterpretation.

I'd like to say OP raised a good point, they've offered to willingly perform KYC and you cut their way by freezing their account instead, for no clear reason if I may add. So certainly we can agree that they reserve a good degree of caution upon who they submit their info to. So, maybe all we need right now is for you to give a good gesture and tell us why you banned them in the first place. After all, as you said yourself, you have your reputation to maintain. So I think explaining why they're banned is not only a cheap price to pay for OP to do KYC and you to maintain your reputation, but also your duty on the first place.

Prior to the ban, our Risk Management team have found substantial abnormalities surrounding the OP's account and other suspicious behaviors. However, kindly note that our updated internal policies forbid us from sharing such details in public forums, unless particularly authorized by our management and approved by the player. This is for both privacy and anti-abuse concerns. In fact, for the sake of open and transparent communication with Bitcointalk community, we had shared such details on the forum in the past, which did get us quite some compliments. However such transparency was later exploited by abusers who saw it. As a result, our marketing team has received criticism internally.
You still didnt answer the question, why did Trustdice ban me before the KYC?

Quote
We have no problem sharing such details to a 3rd party arbitrator.
Good to know, i started a complaint(Askgamblers). Hopefully Trustdice will respect Askgamblers decision/judgement.

We do our best to assist every player, but if a player refuses to assist himself, our hands are tied.
Try and look at this from my perspective, i was unfairly banned & my money was stolen.
Why would i send my personal information to casino/thieves who stole from me?

Have you studied OP's account closely and have solid proof before freezing it or were you just ban-first-ask-later?
Prior to the ban, our Risk Management team have found substantial abnormalities surrounding the OP's account and other suspicious behaviors. This means we found OP's account had been acting in a manner that's impossible for an ordinary human player and its various signals shall be considered abnormalities for an ordinary human player. And all of such data have been well documented. (edit: longer explanation added to highlight and avoid being overlooked)
However, kindly note that our updated internal policies forbid us from sharing such details in public forums, unless particularly authorized by our management and approved by the player. This is for both privacy and anti-abuse concerns. In fact, for the sake of open and transparent communication with Bitcointalk community, we had shared such details on the forum in the past, which did get us quite some compliments.

How do we know that it is not a foul play by your platform, that you didn't just invent the situation and you won't use the same reason for other user(s) in the future?
As you may have noticed on this forum, plenty of forum members have been using our platform for a long time and have no trouble playing and withdrawing. Some of them are high level users like you, with Legendary or Hero badge. In this regard, I recommend you to post a thread on Gambling sub forum to inquire what most gamblers on this forum have experienced so far.
Truth to be told, we spend much more money doing marketing on this forum than the amount being discussed in this case. As one of the established crypto casinos, and an operator who has been in this market since 2018, we have no reason to arbitrarily ban users just because he or she wins. We have more money to make in maintaining our reputation as a reliable casino and sportsbook.
With regard to "is TrustDice legit", we have prepared a page dedicated to this question. You can also take a look at the chatroom on the right to see for yourself. And TrustDice is also pretty much the best rated crypto casino on TrustPilot.



All in all, we strongly encourage OP to complete KYC procedure as requested, otherwise there is not much we (aka the marketing department) can assist at the moment. We do our best to assist every player, but if a player refuses to assist himself, our hands are tied.


Best,

I think either
1. He genuinely doesnt know.
2. The reason is too absurd/embarrassing, and hes afraid of the negative feedback.

[...]

To be fair, actually, you are kinda agreed to submit documents for KYC purpose if they ask you for it, written on their TnC.

Hello holydarkness,

For Coinbox1, I don't think I understand the situation correctly, so please enlighten us. First, was OP's account banned because of the reason he mentioned on the quoted email --the unfair advantage-- or because they're yet to fulfill the KYC TnC?
KYC is needed in this circumstance based on our T&C

[...]
(Note: This is not related to this case in discussion here) Most definitely not. "personal involvement" here typically means
- the player himself or herself and individuals who are connected to the player and therefore have access to the internal info, or even able to influence the outcome of the game;
- personal presence on the field of play during the game;

18.1. Without restricting our ability to rely on other remedies that may be available to us, we may suspend and/or terminate your account, cancel any outstanding bets and/or confiscate any or all funds in your account at our absolute discretion if:
* We determine that you are using TrustDice.win in a manner that gives you an unfair advantage, for example making bets on insight or professional knowledge about a sport gained via personal involvement or participation in the particular field of sport or using the late bets strategy;


However this clause would most likely be triggered if you were in discussion with your old pal who is inside the team and paid him to access information that most people don't know about. The same applies if your old pal pays you to bet with his internal info. Unfortunately, crypto sports books like ours attract insider betting these days.

Thank you.
TrustDice Team

Thank you for the link, I've actually read and familiarize myself with them before writing my post. And although it is true that by the TnC your user are agreeing on a clause where they have to submit KYC if needed, your explanation did not exactly answered my question. But if I may infer from your seemingly deliberate vague answer, you banned their account because they had suspicious behavior --i.e. insider info-- and thus you feel you need to check their ID? Then why did your team still froze OP's account although they already offered to complete KYC?

And let's take one step backward here on the reason itself, can you provide evidences that became the basis of this suspicion? Have you studied OP's account closely and have solid proof before freezing it or were you just ban-first-ask-later? How do we know that it is not a foul play by your platform, that you didn't just invent the situation and you won't use the same reason for other user(s) in the future?

KYC is needed in this circumstance based on our T&C and it is imperative for a comprehensive evaluation of the situation. In the absence of it, I am afraid it will be impossible for us to comment on what might have happened with confidence, or provide any further assistance.

Suppose I'm a retired professional soccer player who spent his time compiling data and player's statistics, then analyze them and guessed the strategy their coach will utilize based on my prior experience as a professional player, and I won. This is illegal?

You also wrote me the reason for the blocking. So you want to say that I was born in Kaliningrad, Russia, I am 23 years old, and I am a former professional American football player? I played basketball in the NBA? I played in Euroleagues? What nonsense are you talking about? How can such a thing even come to mind? I have scoliosis 3rd degree, and the arm does not bend completely, and I am a professional NBA player? It's just laughter.

10minutes before i got banned, i asked the support if they want to finish the KYC.
Instead Trustdice decided to ban me, and ignore my emails.

You just confessed that Trustdice decided to ban me without any real proof/confidence.
I appreciate it.

For OP, Poika5, can you provide the email you mentioned on your opening post as oart of your evidence in screenshot instead of just quoted text? It'll be more reliable that way.


They are saying i broke one of these rules, unfortunately Coinbox1 wont specify the exact reason for the ban.

I think either
1. He genuinely doesnt know.
2. The reason is too absurd/embarrassing, and hes afraid of the negative feedback.

I already exposed his lies in this other thread, so he might be a little scared of me.

Were you saying that an educated guess in your sportsbetting is not allowed? Suppose I'm a retired professional soccer player who spent his time compiling data and player's statistics, then analyze them and guessed the strategy their coach will utilize based on my prior experience as a professional player, and I won.

MOI DRUG COINBOX. i gave you my username 10 hours ago, and i still dont know why i got banned(Clearly neither do you).

So lets make a deal, if Trustdice pays me today, i will donate all the money(0.1btc) to the Ukrainian army.
I will post the transaction hash and everything!

Also thank you for this opportunity, Im literally having the time of my life right now.

That's a good thing to do and worth a praise, but if you really deserve your win there should be no condition because you've won it fairly, you are putting Trustdice in an unfavorable decision because of the condition, so let them grant you your winning based on fairness not because there's a condition attached to it that might influence the outcome of the results after you receive your winning because you deserve then proceed to donate and you'll have our praise.
Future scammers might use this kind of condition just to force casinos to have their money coming from fraud.

Hi there,

Amount Scammed:
0.996BTC
While we start to review the whole case, could you kindly elaborate on how, from your perspective, that in total 0.996 BTC is involved here? This number is not in line with any of the requested withdrawal we see from our system, nor with your provided screenshot.

This will help us better understand your side of the story.

Thank you.
