Title: FlashyPoker.com seems to be a scam
Post by: Evolutionary on November 12, 2013, 01:39:07 AM
Based on the fact that I deposited .1BTC a few days back, played 31 hands like it said
i needed to to clear my .025BTC bonus, and I withdrew my .1BTC but never got it.

It claimed I would get it in 1-3 hours.  I can't find any support online, and when you play
there, chat is disabled, so you can't talk to anyone.

A rep is welcome to come in and solve my problem.

Yeah I usually wait for a gambling site to have some more chatter on this forum about it before I go try it out.

Hopefully a rep from 'flashypoker' will chime in here and help you out, otherwise thanks for the warning.

2/3 table ring game right now also looks fishy:
illuminati: 100 chips
arroyo10: 500 chips
calvin305: 46,821 chips (46.82 BTC)

What's fishy? It's extremely unusual for someone at a poker ring game to have
over 15,000 big blinds.

I think the players are also robots.

I noticed this site too. Had a really lucrative signup bonus of 0.025btc just for signing up and a further 0.025btc when you deposit 0.1btc or more. I got suspicious when i noticed you couldn't play the 25 on the site. Min buyin i saw was 30 chips. This was probably by design to get you depart with 0.1btc.

Its also strange they opted for a .com. Surely your directly in the spotlight with the Feds, but i suppose they could argue that no gambling occurred on the site :)

Had a quick look on earlier. There are bots in action i suspect. Im sure you could run all over them but i doubt when you press to cash out 50,000 chips its gonna work.

PS

.com is the standard, nothing strange.

The fact that no one from the site came trying to defend from the accusations is what is strange. Actually, it is close to the standard operation around here, maybe that is not strange either.

What i meant by the .com was that the feds could just seize it and put a customer scaring message up. Im sure anyone setting up a poker site now that allows players from anywhere in the world to Cashin ---> play ---> Cashout - and without any account verification, wouldnt bother wasting the 15$ registering the domain.

You are a funny dude. You think the feds are limited to seizing .com domains ?

I had 138 chips, I withdrew 100 which never came to my wallet.

I can still login but since i only have 38 chips i can't sit down for 50 chips.

No one ever replied to my email, total scam operation.  Stay away, learn from my .1BTC lesson

Do you know if they have a thread in the gambling section of this forum?
If not, they would usually be a scam already :P  If so, contact them.
