I played one of the "games" on betcoins.net, is it a scam? I never got anything back (you're supposed to get a fraction back, even if you lose).

Edit because I was WRONG. I won using betcoints.net, and the owner made a lot of effort to help me.

Proof of my win:

The website says:

Send your bet to an address, to place a bet. Your bet must be between the minimum- and maximum bet. You will receive your won amount between 1  and 15 minutes! If you lose, you get a payout of 0.00000002 BTC in seconds.

I sent .01 BTC to 1EHVb2YJqm8srkGq1LwwR2tG3RWuUQ7bJG, never got anything back (I should have gotten at least 0.00000002)

Edit, because I actually WON.

ill try it and tell you what haappens :P

Du you have a Web-Wallet? Please give me more info. Whats the TransactionID? We are NO Scamer.

Please note that the Loose amount is payed instantly (0.000002) but for a win it waits till the bet transaction has at least 1 confirmation (to counter double spending attacks)

I concur with OP this is a scam its  been an hr and no payment of anykind (5 confirmations)

Transaction-ID?

Thanks for checking that out.

By the way, I would have tried to contact someone at betcoins.net first, if there was any contact information (which there isn't). I'll assume it is a scam unless I get my BTC back (or if I had gotten the fractional amount right away).

phew. hey bitcoinsperson do you have a skill coding?

I know HTML, CSS, and SQL (for queries). But that is it.

I've add a contact-address on our page. I think we have a problem with the script. Please give us a little bit time to fix that. All wins will be payed out shortly! Guaranteed!

no offense, but your whopping 19 posts, makes my faith diminish every second i do not get payed.

BTCBUDDY1 what was you transaction id?

Fixed.

Does that mean I get a refund?

i never wouldve guessed, i lost... bitcoinperson.. i assume you did to? scam.

Take a look in your Wallet. Your WIN are payed.

OMG...

The script wasn't working when I "played", so I had no chance of winning, but you won't give a refund?

I was wrong.

WTF? Guy, YOU WON and you recived your WIN! Take a look in your Wallet!

Now I know. betcoins.net is a total scam. 1pTXE3DUJvhaKxuSxGivRF6yYn2TN5nar  was a payment I received from a completely different source. I know that he's lying now. Please don't use betcoins.net! It is a one-way scam.

I was WRONG.

Okay, I apologize. How did you know to use that address? I was confused because I have a different label for 1pTXE3DUJvhaKxuSxGivRF6yYn2TN5nar that I had made some deposits to.

My apologies, I DID receive the BTC.

Why? Because you lost?

Guys, please look at the blockchain!

He was betting via transaction e31298286e4794a6f684798b74e2ec8bf4d44ac965387313fee12ece0f721531 on 2013-03-23 18:18:56
and received his win 1 minute and 3 seconds later via transaction 2ad6ffe41c23b48ee7f134ff14e3ffac832f78ad171159acad6c2d8f9d2a7d1a on 2013-03-23 18:19:59

The win was sent from the adresses 1CuCsiTE1FFtNhSE8GZ7wRQciA8FppYgFA and 1CGoyGLKePzdFPDkviFckR4MjNUkWuNiCc which are adresses betcoins.net seems to use to transfer money into the casino / which are adresses betcoins.net has money on to sent the wins from.. These adresses aren´t tagged in blockchain.info, so they don´t show up as "betcoin", if you click on them, you will see that these adresses are related to betcoin.net.
A transaction is NOT send from the adress you send your BTC´s too in 99% of the cases. This is just how the Bitcoin protocol/blockhain works and is completly normal.
Feel free to lookup the betcoins.net adresses in blockchain.info ( for example https://blockchain.info/address/1N6weNFroYC54w54KMV3Pwb1mY2MeR3iJA ) and you will see many transactions where wins / losses are payed.

hey no problem :) nice to hear that! And congratulations on the win (even if its a small one) :)

Can you please not accuse me of being a scammer? I called betcoins.net a scammer, but I was wrong, and I owned up to it. I made a mistake, it is true I don't understand how bitcoin works.

I use bitcoin-QT, which has LABELS. I had made a couple withdraws from a site, to address 1pTXE3DUJvhaKxuSxGivRF6yYn2TN5nar

Because the label was not Betcoins.net, I didn't recognize it. I made a mistake, I apologized, and I redacted my statements.

I removed that part from my post :)

Thanks, I think it would be good (for noobs like me) if you noted that the payout will not go to the same address, but you check the blockchain for a recently used address, and send the BTC there.

Thanks for the rectification!  ;)

i also rectified you on bitcoinratings.org

hope you all get sorted out this is not on
