First of all, This scam accusation is for events that happened during February and March 2017, I realize the delay, but I was trying to communicate with VegasCasino.io and the operators in general, To solve the complaint, but to no avail.
What happened::
This happened in around 4 months ago at 14/02 (Valentine Day), VegasCasino.io offered the following promotion
https://vegascasino.io/promotions/valentine-raffle
St. Valentine’s Day is almost here! Join our special Raffle and win a share of 3,000 mBTC!
All you have to do is find and click hearts here on VegasCasino.io website.
1. Click every love heart ❤ you find on VegasCasino.io and receive one free raffle ticket for each heart.
2. There are 5 hearts to be found and clicked in total through 23:59 GMT February 14th.
3. We will automatically award you 1 free raffle ticket for each heart you click.
4. Visit the Valentine’s Raffle page to see the tickets you've been credited with.
This promotion was being advertised throughout the forum and I joined like everyone else, found five hearts AND did not expect much, considering how these online raffles are conducted generally, Although having a provability fairness system seemed better,
Anyway,
Against all the regular odds, I won the top place (5 entries from 1784 total entries)
After few hours when I've seen the draw result, The first 3 letters were identical to my account, I logged in and seen a 500 mBTC balance, which is the 1st place reward, Placed a withdrawal request to my address and kept the page open - I was excited of course-
Few minutes later, The withdrawal request was cancelled and I was banned, I did not even know because there is no regular ban message, The only thing I got was this screen when I enter my username and password:

I immediately contacted them through live chat, asking about what happened, and getting hanged on without a single word was the only reply I received, no explanation or messages whatsoever,
I emailed them through the support email, There are multiple live chats session that I didn't record at the time.
My emails and replies, They refused to reply at all to my last question (despite me staying polite regardless of how hard that was)

LIE, refusing to provide any details, proof or evidence for cheating and "hanging up" on the user throughout chat, refusing to reply to emails.
is VegasCasino.io and Coingaming (mBetSolutions N.V.) Connected?
Yes,
* Operating through the same script
* Having the same employees at live chat and the same live chat between both?
Video of the same chat session being open in all 3 sites

The post was posted through bitcasino account and quickly deleted, but was quoted by another user here:
