Well, I think it is necessary to give a little summary here so that everyone can know how questionable Betnomi's refund plan was. They have marked the thread as solved in order to create an impression of paying all the victims. On 24th February, Betnomi representative claimed that they have completed the refund. But only two users have confirmed about receiving their funds until now.
Confirmation of refund:
• AHOYBRAUSE: Confirmed about receiving his funds (unknown amount)
• Betwrong: Confirmed about receiving his funds, $400+.
Pending and denied refund:
• Stayzor: 0.4 BTC and 4.5 ETH, denied without providing any proof.
• GekkeBelg: 0.9 BTC, in touch with Betnomi team privately.
• nutters: 0.125+ BTC, pending for review.
• kennymcc: New refund request.
• CryptoGods90: A streamer (promoter of Betnomi) claiming that he hasn't received the promised money.
Apart from these, no one has confirmed about receiving their funds from Betnomi. Some victims were banned from their telegram group for complaining about the stuck amount in the initial stage. Now Betnomi team has completely disabled the text messages for everyone in their telegram group.
Some forum members are widely appreciating this refund process of Betnomi without checking everything properly. But was it really a transparent refund process which can be marked as solved?

The new site is yet to be announced, and from what can be inferred from their statement [quoted below], it's very likely will not be named as basebet. That site is just a test-net. Their statement also became the base of my questions of the purpose of that thread, which yet to be answered.
If you want to help, you can start by not bumping old threads blindly, disregarding if the cases already solved or not, it's just confuses people.

The project "BaseBet" is a new project that I co-founded. It will be operating with our existing Casino software and with some upgrades to make it a true web3 platform with a smart contract interface where user funds will be non-custodial and completely under the users' control. That being said, what we have now is a demo, a "test net" of the platform. It is not operational, it does not accept any deposits, nor is any real money gameplay allowed. It is purely for demo and testing purposes as of now.
It will undergo a complete UI/UX redesign and rebrand, and further development work will be done before the official launch, which will take a few months. To summarize, it is not yet an active or a production website.

We should make clear that the number of victims will be reduced. And when this site is online, Red tag it from the beginning. We should do everything to warn everbody on the forum about this new scam project.
Betnomi representative claimed that they have completed the refund process. Some forum members have confirmed it too. But it isn’t verifiable whether all the victims got their funds back or not. Because some of the forum members aren't active who had complained about their stuck funds, and all the victim doesn't have account in this forum. Sorsis has disabled the messaging option on the Betnomi's telegram group. However, it is known that they are doing it all to launch their new project successfully without having the past controversy related to Betnomi. Now it is up to the gambling community whether they will trust those people or not.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They had sold user email database to the spammers to get some money. Betnomi team (Sorsis) has proven themselves as unprofessional and untrustworthy on time to time.

We have completed the refund process for the final set of withdrawal requests. Out of these, two have been denied due to fraud (account was previously banned). Three of them have been forwarded to the risk management team of our odds feeds and game providers. Apart from these five instances, all other refunds have been 100% completed.
Such a trend reminds me of those hard core scammers behind different MLMs and Ponzi schemes. Once one collapses or gets exposed, the scammer goes ahead, starts a resh and creates a new one. The cycle continues, but one thing is for sure, such people are always so greedy for the money they scam from innocent people. It becomes their addictive drug and one day, their 40 days of scamming run out.
This is nothing strange. Once they try such thing and then they already have experience and know how of scamming proccess. Yeah, very similar to people addicted to drugs, it's difficult to return on good path after you already got addicted.What is more shocking is number of people who are ready to use new project of scammers, despite all red flags given. Some people will never learn.
Why I am not surprised they are launching another token with presale and new casino 
If you read what they wrote on their docs page they say thy are going to transform betting industry with their new platform
New presale on BNB, because this is easiest way for Sorsis to collect money again, and I didnt found Betnomi mentioned anywhere on this page:

The refund drama of Betnomi hasn't ended successfully yet. People are still waiting to get their funds back.
In the meantime, Betnomi team (Sorsis and other admin of their telegram group) is back with a new project. They may refund a part of the users to gain the trust again for their new project, but everyone should remember the shady things and behaviour of Betnomi team.
No one knows how bigger and long lasting their new scam project will be. Perhaps, they will finalize everything by observing the reaction of the gambling community after the refund drama.

What a joke (a terrible one really) that is - unfortunately, this is the crypto wild west. It would not be possible in the traditional gambling space (where you can also find more than enough bad actors), but it`s just not as easy as in our space. You scam people, make up funny stories and there`s no consequence whatsoever (unless you become a very BIG player).

I am not surprised either. Surely they have taken the idea of freebitco.in, which is not exactly created FUNToken but joined giving advantages in their casino and has been profitable for them but not for investors. I guess we will see something like that:

Oh, I already forgot about Betnomi as I haven't heard anything about them for a while. How unexpected (not) that people didn't got refunds. I guess that only not so big part of their users filled request, as others simply weren't aware about it. But Betnomi didn't even bothered torefund part of their users.https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/se5UJ.jpeg

They're starting new project when they didn't refunded customers of their previous project, what is pathetic. These who are going to use their new project have no common sense anddon't respect themselves.

No matter how many users they do end up refunding their rep is still never going to be completely back to good. The way this all transpired cost them more then they realize. The lack of communication was devastating for them. In the meantime, Betnomi team (Sorsis and other admin of their telegram group) is back with a new project.

Yeah, once the trust is gone it's hard to repair that. Refunds are mandatory, nothing special to get your players back.
I thing a considerate amount of players will not deposit there again. Once you make a bad experience like that people tend to move on from it and won't make the same mistake again trusting a site with their funds when this site has this kind of history.
It happened once, it can happen again.
Unless they do a total rebranding I see no future for them. The name betnomi will always be tainted with this.

For instance, if you search for images using the query "Sorsis Chatwin Nomi Labs," you'll find traces of his promotional posts for Nomi Labs on his LinkedIn, though they have all been deleted now:
Google is showing those images actually which has been liked by Sorsis on LinkedIn.It can be considered as a solid evidence. Maybe Sorsis wants to keep Nomi Labs in a safe place by removing the information from his LinkedIn profile. However, they stopped all the progress of Nomi Labs before stopping the operation of Betnomi. Their social media accounts are inactive since the January month of this year.
Interestingly, he seems to have scrubbed all mentions of the "Nomi Labs Co-Founder" from his online profiles. Looks like he's trying to distance himself from that company, even though the entire Betnomi platform was birthed under that brand. What's he trying to hide or play down?
I can't recall it properly whether 'Nomi Labs Co-Founder' was mentioned in his profile or not. But it is true that Betnomi has come from Nomi Labs. And Sorsis is one of the owners of Nomi Labs.It was. I'm sure of that. Unfortunately, I failed to archive his LinkedIn profile at the time, but I mentioned it here. Regardless, the connection between Betnomi and Nomi Labs is indeed noteworthy, and you can still find confirmation that Sorsis is one of the owners of Nomi Labs through various Google caches. For instance, if you search for images using the query "Sorsis Chatwin Nomi Labs," you'll find traces of his promotional posts for Nomi Labs on his LinkedIn, though they have all been deleted now:

Why would anyone believe anything the scammer says at this point?
He wants us to believe in what he says. Because he was successful by using the strategy in the past. Now he is doing it all to regain the trust. Let's assume they are really going to make the refund. But it won't be fair, and all the users aren't going to get it. After doing all these things, Sorsis might say something like thisI will admit we did some pretty sloppy job with our canceled ICO (downtime, silence, user database leak, withholding users funds etc.) but, that was all it was sloppy, not scammy.

And Sorsis is one of the owners of Nomi Labs.Betnomi team havs considered all the inquiries as spam/abuse on their telegram group. In this process, they have also banned some users who was asking about their funds and Betnomi's downtime. Which is a clear example of scam attempt from Betnomi. But they don't think it like this. They have also said a reason for playing with the trust list.
We will delete anything we consider as spam or abuse in our Telegram group, and about trust settings, I am absolutely sure that this is a personal forum setting that everyone can use at their own discretion. This setting does not affect you or anyone except me and the feedback I see.
because "CEO of Betnomi" is mentioned in his biography.

As per his LinkedIn profile, Tigran B. worked as a Technical Recruiter at Nomi Labs until May 2023.
Certainly, data collection via e-mail is quite non-transparent. I won't be surprised if some anonymous people start appearing, confirming how they got a refund from Betnomi. But the ultimate motive for everything that comes from there is still unclear.
Sounds like the plan, remember the Livecoin chaos where random newbie accounts started registering in the forum and immediately posting in the Livecoin thread allegedly confirming that they had received 50% of the payments with random TX ID and then all of a sudden disappeared? 
This refund phase looks awfully more and more like an attempt to get many people's credential instead of a real attempt to refund people.

I assume that Betnomi will no longer work as a gambling site, and the only thing that seems likely to me is that Sorsis wants to have some positive feedback, because "CEO of Betnomi" is mentioned in his biography.
