is anyone else playing this game ? is it a scam ?  next round starts soon so if you have tips post them here. It says you can be paid in bitcoin and or  use  it for to buy diamonds (game product)

Mobstermaffia.com

Hmm, I've never heard of this game. I just signed up. The current round ends today, but does that mean a new round will be starting soon?

i think the next round starts right away, one of rewards other than cash was the in-game diamonds for a week so it might start right away, noticed followers helps, don't have any except for ones I bought but the  diamonds are better spent on timers I think.

No one seems to be chatting in the game. Is this game active? It's a pretty awesome game, from what I can tell so far!

I am also in this game, looks good... 8)

I like a lot the "Casino"... ::)

We will see how it goes, looks promising though...

I'm willing to start a Mafia Family, if anyone here is willing to join. Please be active, and if you feel like you want to join it, let me know! I just have to wait until I get to level 12 :)

Seems like a mafia war prodigy...
I have registered to see how the game goes...

never heard of this game yet here.. anyway is this investment game too? deposit and earn profit? but the design are good ;D
well alot people never heard of this, i suggest to stay away from this kind investment.

Mine is still loading so i cant tell you how it works...
But if theres a free house or some sort then i think i wont lose here...

Looks interesting. Gonna give this a shoot. :)

The game looks cute
But looks like a big time waster. LOL

Not for me!

Enjoy peeps

beautiful site

Come and join us to our..."Family" lol

Check out "Ascendancy"... 8)

Could we earn some bitcoins from that game or.. is it just for fun ?

It's for fun, but at the end of the round, the top players will earn a total prize of €200 (paid by Bitcoin or PayPal and other options). I thought it was a game where you could earn satoshis for playing, but it's not. However, the game is super fun, and a good way to pass some time when you're on the computer!

True that. But it would be great if we knew what "the top players" mean :D I cannot find anything about the rankings of the top players, or  the prizes they will eventually get...

Check this link for more information: http://freehourlybitcoins.com/mobstermaffia.png

And within the game, you can click the "M" icon on the bottom left of the screen, and in the rank popup window, click your country flag to toggle the "country" setting to "global". You can see the global rank from there.

Looks interesting. Gonna give this a shoot. ;) ;) ;)

at least it's a differente thing.

don't give a damn if it pays or not.. it's a cool game... if it pays, well, it will be GREAT!

I like mobsters games  8)

Feel free to join my family guys, we are the largest Family in the game, and the name is Ascendancy! Once you hit level 10, let me know here in the forums what your in-game name is and I'll try my best to reserve a spot for you!

Long live our "gang"!!! 8)

I'll try to join your gang later, anyone know what the golden grenades are for ? how do I sell meth, just pawn shop ? how to buy cartel area's or is that leaders job ?  4000 diamonds spent where the heck did you get that many? looks good for you to win that competition 

How exactly do you earn btc from this? I tried joining but it seems like only the top rankers win btc at the end of the round?

its not a faucet type game, looks like winning  or referring people is the only way to make btc , they have links at bottom to go faucet site, its really just a time waster but is fun.

Any golden thing, i think its for the Pawn shop.

You dont sell Meth. You produce it for giving it to the Family and Family to Cartels that controls.

Leaders of each Family "control" Cartels and make wars for them.

If you bring down a cop helicopter or complete tasks or lvl up, you earn Diamonds.

They have a discount for buying Diam, thats why they have this competition... ::)

I bought some diamonds from the sale. And I used most of them for buying more timers, which in my late game, will benefit me so much more :)

Games like what ??
What fun to play in this game . ???

Have played in the past omerta and that was a waste of time. If it's a day job I don't gonna play it. If you can login once a day I probably will try it out.

hiho

i'm also playing this game :)

BTCforJoe id like to join your family my ingame Name is assloua

and i am currently in Alone Family but they are only russian speaking in chat so im willing to switch
if you got  a spare place

I participate in this game and I kinda like it. Something to say , you radio ?

Are you kidding? Have you even been to the site, or tried the game? You don't invest anything. It's a game. A simple game with rewards for the top players after the round ends in May. There are no investments involved. There are no "upgrades" there. It's a simple game like Mafia Wars.

Do your god damn research. Seriously, your red flagging is getting quite ridiculous. You're flooding the Gambling section with your copy and paste bullshit without even doing your homework. I actually thought that you served a purpose in helping protect users, but after your post in this thread... I've lost respect for you.

Meh. Zero fucks given about your respect.

I do, however, care for whether I am incorrect about a potential scam so, once you're done throwing your toys out of the pram, could you explain to me a couple of thing:

1. What is this thread doing in investor-based games if nobody need send it any money?
2. 25% referral earnings! - <This, 25% of what? Because referral payments, particularly high percentage referral payments, generally mean scam.

If I am wrong I will remove my warning.

"If I am wrong I will remove my warning."
Wrong about what? That it has a potential of a scam?

1. I dont know and i have this question my self also, ty CD...

2. I suppose in the Mafia coins, currency of the game...

Yes, if it does not, as some have claimed have a structure which is preponderantly the act of encouraging other people to send money in so that earlier 'players' are paid a share of those funds, then it isn't necessarily a scam.

That's why I am asking about that 25% referral because I don't see what it relates to. The T&C's of that site are in German and google translate utterly failed to do a usable translation on it for me.

There you go. Since you are not sure why come here with your red words and piss everybody off? Why don't you ask like a sane person?

I did ask like a sane person. Do my words confuse you?

Look up, we are in the Investor-based games section, this is where threads are put when a 'service' requires users to send it money as part of their participation process.

Recently there have been a number of interactive 'games' which were still based on the ponzi principal on the backend

So, if this thread appears here, signifying that yes, it does indeed require 'investors' to send in money and also has a similar 'game' theme as other known scams, exactly how am I wrong to assume it to be simply a variation on the same?

You cant "buy" houses, i mean you can do it free but like any other game if you put money you will do it faster. Thats all... 8)

Can i help you with the translate? You want to read a particularly piece?

@shefchenko  Relax, he is fast "gunman" and he is right...This game have no place here imho...

I normally like to read the whole thing, to be honest, but I am particularly needing to read any section which relates to both the idea of users sending in money and how the company states they distribute 'winnings' back to the users.

http://www.mobstermaffia.com/legal/terms_nl.pdf

As I mentioned already, I'd like to understand where this 25% referral scheme fits in if it isn't based on taking 25% of new referred-user deposits and giving them to the referrer, which is normally a massive red flag for scam.

[edit] LOL! Just spotted the 'terms_nl' part, it isn't German, it's Dutch! That'll explain why translate failed. Ok, I've got a better version to read through now.

Where do i get there, in Legal Terms of the game?

This text i think is Netherlands not German... :-\

Yeah yeah , I know but it is very irritating to see his red post all over the investor-based section...

LOL, thats true also... ;D 8)

Site T&C's reviewed

According to what is understood to be the nature of this game, it is not an 'investor-based' game at all. It appears to simply be a game which offers in-game purchase of tokens which allow the players to advance to higher levels faster, much like most games of this genre do these days.

The 25% commission for referrals appears to be nothing more than a generous way to reward participants for encouraging more people to play and purchase in-game items.

The prizes being offered for each 'round' appear to be static rewards offered by the game company as an incentive to play and, in order to win, purchase in-game items.

Following this review I am of the opinion that this thread is in the wrong forum section and, more importantly, the game operates on a legitimate principal.



I request the those of you who quoted my warning in this thread, please remove it to avoid any confusion for other users.

This topic was definitely posted in the wrong category, but it was based on a user asking a question about the game, not by the developer or company that owns the game itself. There is no investment involved, there are no upgrades, there is nothing to buy in order to gain a return. Hell, there isn't even a return. The rewards at the end of the round are exactly that. Just rewards for the players that have the highest levels.

So yeah, this is definitely the wrong forum to be posting this thread, but at the same time, it just goes to show that you're willing to fire your guns at anything, even without researching it first. No need to get all high and mighty, and as much as I can appreciate that you're looking out for the best interest of other people, WHO THE FUCK CARES?! It's THEIR money, not yours. Let them do what they want with it. And stop false-flagging shit that doesn't even need to be false flagged. You're willing to stake your OWN reputation for something you didn't even diligently research properly before you were going to false flag it?

That, to me, sounds like a negative trust rating right there. Jesus, man. Like I said, I lost a lot of respect for you. And I know you can give a rat's ass about my respect, but respect from me is definitely worth a lot. I don't just give that shit out. I actually did respect you for trying to protect other users, even when I knew they wouldn't give a shit and still continue to invest in these bs ponzis. But yeah. Do your homework next time before you threaten someone's reputation, is all I ask.

Cheers, and thanks for removing your warning.

Done... ;) :)

Because we never see scammers pretending to be 'innocent' users, right?

Which is why I said it shouldn't have been in this section, otherwise it is correctly assumed to require investment. Get it?

You clearly have no idea how quickly scammers move when they post threads with multiple supporting socks posting 'innocent' participation posts. Seriously, the thread appeared here, I move to get the warning in quickly. But I also resolved the matter quickly, what more do you think I should be doing? If I spend too much time analysing a scam it risks gaining too much momentum.

http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1382239.msg14068566#msg14068566 - It isn't about their money.

Right, so I make one incorrect judgement out of how many and you imply I need to be stopped, as though it is a frequent and problematic issue? Look at the fucking timeline on this thread, how much faster do you think I should have been in addressing the issue of the true status of this game?

More importantly, rather than me simply ignoring the thread and assuming it was legit until someone else declares there's something fishy going on, I actually responded with a proper evaluation for the OP and everyone else concerned. I think you'll find my actions have actually contributed more to answer the OP's questions than anyone else did.

Thanks for doing what you did in reviewing the site and it's TOS. Yeah, I understand how overwhelming it can be when scammers try to find new ways to steal people's money. And I do know how it feels, as I was scammed before, as well.

Keep doing what you're doing

it was me that posted it, wasn't sure about which forum to put it under, as its new, you can invest (upgrades increase your rewards and chance of prizes ? ) or receive referrals paid in btc which is what actually made me think of posting it(thought people might want to know), sorry if I offended anyone and would gladly post it elsewhere if need be

i think it would fit best at games and rounds
as there are rounds where you could win something

Look nice but still scam.

How can you claim that something is a scam when there is no investment required? You are the worst type of user on the forums; the one that is so quick to call someone or something a scam without doing your own investigative research before drawing your conclusion. People like you make me sick.

Perfect! You dont have to play and its better for us because we dont need such players... 8)

Its JUST a game, if you know what does that mean. But if you post "scam" for this, its sure thing that you dont! ::)

This guy is proving to be more of an idiot in every thread he spams. He just goes blindly spamming his copy pasta in all the threads without even trying out the site first. This site can't even be called investor based and is most likely in the wrong section.

EDIT: Nope I will not remove my quote even though you removed your OP. Let this be a reminder of how this wannabe whiteknight is just an incompetent idiot who blindly spam his warning without proper investigation first.

Hey dumb-ass, do I have to point out your stupidity or are you going to actually read what I wrote? The choice is yours.

Uhuh, sure.

I'll give you a little while to figure it out. Let's see if you really are as stupid as you appear.

LMAO gg wp didn't notice that, you just made my day!
Freedom of speech, gotta agree with you on that.

Can we sell stuff (vests or weapons) ? :D

I think yes, in the Weapon Lab...

But you will need 1 million to open it... ::)

Did you use your humongous brain to figure that out, kiddo?

There, fixed it for you.

Is someone aware how to Claim Ghetto Badge? :D

You have to finish all five of the crimes in The Ghetto at 100%, like the following:

looks interesting. :)

Indeed. This one is unique for sure. IMO that's a good thing. ^^

This game is like mafia wars from its early days.
I really love the concept of this game like im a gangster wanna be hahaha..

http://www.gameofcrimes.com/
... wtf..

Looks promising but is there any payment proofs already?

Actually looks like there are 2 games that are almost the same :D

soon there will be more gams like this
you can just create one here
http://mafiacontrol.com/ (http://mafiacontrol.com/)

did not try it to make a game myself but how hard can it be if there is a website for :P

Payment proofs for what? ???

OMG...Its NOT an "investment" game, wake up man!!! ::)

There's another game like this that is easier to earn from for newbies
http://btcfarmer.online/mafia/

i got 5 euro from last game
is reliable, i m playing long time
but are 2 games
one that is the original and only you play and a second that they put it for 3 months with prizes for the first 10 players in maffia power
also, you can create your game maffia but you must pay after to give you the most modules...
i paid 200 till now   http://greekmaffia.mafiacontrol.com/el/

how have you been playing for those 5 euros?

i didnt invest anything...
just was online 15 hours everyday....

Sorry, my mistake. I missed "long" :D How long have you bee playing? I mean was it worth 15hours/day ... days to play for 5euros?

i was going first but the last 5 days i didnt have internet and became 5th......

You have to play about 3 months... :-\

So, i suppose that no, its not worth it... 8)

I was ranked 1st in the server for a bit, but I realized that the time investment to win the prize was just too much, so I stopped playing the game. The support sucked, and my questions were never answered properly. I spent quite a bit of money to get my character leveled up, and still have some gems on the game, but have no desire to go back to it.

Did they even end up paying out after the round ended?

It pays bit you kust be a top player. That's why I never bothered with it.
