i recently deposited 0.005 into thecoins.net, https://blockchain.info/tx/2a60124d16785091aa3d7e6f724659ecd6c57ee75471653674059847ab6fedcb
i played minesweeper and got up to around 0.02 and decided it was time to withdrawl, so i did and i still have not recent my payment. the transaction says it is pending but it has been like that for about 8 hours.
have i been scammed?

8 hours is already too long to wait for a payment on a gambling site plus I haven't heard of thecoins.net yet so I think you have been scammed. Do they have a support to contact and have you tried messaging them? Where did you heard of that site?

i tried messaging them but they have not answerd. but there terms of service says "We store a limited amount of bitcoins in our hot wallet for safety matters. In some cases it can occur that a withdrawal may take up to 24 hours, but that’s only because we may need to shift bitcoins from our cold wallet to our hot wallet."
   

Crap...Now they don't even credit my deposit into my account:(
I haven't visited the site in months, didn't expect them to stop working.
I mean if you're selling the site, I get it. Kindly halt all businesses if you don't intend to tend to it. Funny my deposit was sent out to another address(probably their hot wallet) immediately though:(

8 confirmations later and still nothing in my account:(

Yea, 8 hours is too long, but it doesnt mean you got scammed. I ever see someone got his payment after 1 day from gambling site (its not thecoins.net). For OP, wait for around 2-3 days, if you still didn't receive your money, its highly possible you got scammed.

It is not a scam site, please check again. We had some technical difficulties over the last couple of weeks. Hoping for the best!

Kindly have a look into my account. Its username at thecoins.net is CrazyToo.
If you look at the txid from m6 earlier post its funds going in and out of thecoins assigned wallet. Last transaction, eventhough not alot is now not even reflected in my accounts>transactions. Almost 2 weeks now the funds i sent im not sure where it went to

Here: the deposit address for CrazyToo's account

All earlier deposits in account>transactions are there except the last deposit dated 7/7

Even if I want to believe you thecoins.net isn't a "scam site" it sure isn't a properly run business, not a legitimate gambling venue like most other casinos therefore it's a high risk site(unsafe place) for online punters to spend their money at, in my opinion.

Why I said that? Well, it's been weeks after my deposit gone missing. Emailed thecoins.net's in-game support, PM'd what looks like thecoins.net spokesperson here in bitcointalk.org, my earlier post in this thread, etc....ZERO FREAKING REPLY.

I know some of you "seniors", those who don't have much to live for in RL. Finds companionship hanging out in forums, making dumbass, I meant smart comments on everybody's posts are probably gonna reply to my post again with..."Oh god, it's not even alot of money!" or something similar. Received that kind of comments in my earlier post and still wondering...so the less privileged, poorer people deserves to be scammed and not the rich folks? Sigh

Anyways, the only reason I am posting here is I've exhausted all possible channels I could think of. I have no idea how else to go about trying to get back my missing deposit at thecoins.net. Please pardon me, I'm not highly educated, don't know how to play with words and certainly can't understand the joy behind hanging in forums 24/7 commenting for the sake of commenting.
Kindly bear with my post while I try to find my missing satoshillings...I'm just passing through...

Wait crazy3 are you the same as op?

No, we are 2 different person who happened to deposit a similar amount of btc in our encounters with the scam site....thecoins.net = scam Deposit at your own risk.

What classifies a site as scammers?
Stealing money from visitors?
thecoins.net definitely qualified in this aspect.

7th July to 25th July...I excercised enough patience I believe, initially thinking there's some mixed up or something...
Funds deposited into my thecoins.net can be found on the blockchain but never did arrive.
3 support emails requesting them to check my missing deposit were ignored, PM their(head of scamming) here at bitcointalk.org after he/she responded to this accusation/s, ignored again...
If this isn't stealing I don't know what is

If only there are authorities governing this btc gambling sites there weren't be so many scam artistes plying their trade online, and so many victims...sigh

Hi, kindly check my withdrawal, its been more than 24 hours and i still havent receive my wothdrawal. I already messeged the support but no reply from.them.

I am afraid this is a scam site, he won't reply you coz he hasn't been here for 1 month.

Sadly, scam confirmed, sorry for your loss even if it was small.
