Bitcoin Forum

Hi there,

Thanks so much for taking your time and reading this!
long ago (about 2 years) I deposited on betcoinpoker.ag and got a bonus of uBTC (currently I've got about 46,000 uBTC=46mBTC in bonus money at their site)
my BTC address is
1JMyrc3LgbUntYRmPnJuMFTiS9z6ov3JP2
That bonus is locked, you need to play cash-games at their site to unlock it correctly (earn rake 2mBTC rake = 2mBTC bonus).
BUT their site is ABSOLUTELY dead, no one at the tables / tournaments so I CANNOT unlock that bonus even if I wanted to.
so I've sent them an email asking (begged) for just 10% of that bonus, or another way to unlock that bonus.
they denied every other way to earn that bonus & wont accept any % deal of that bonus.
I hope you can help me figure out a way.
I'm frustrated by now..
Thanks

No one can help you with that when the site itself denied it, better accept that you lost the bonus so it is no more accessible. If you still want to do something then go to scam accusation section and try to bring their attention here if someone from that site is active on Bitcointalk.

It is not really a scam either. The site has set certain rules for the receipt and payment of the bonus, which OP can not provide, even if he can do little for the fact that the site is no longer used.
If the site is no longer used, the chances of still getting the bonus are unfortunately very poor. I'm surprised that you even got an answer from the operators.

One simple lesson you should learn in here, never hold your money on any gambling website. If you can withdraw it as soon as possible, then do it. Furthermore, bonuses aren't always meant for withdrawals. Most gambling websites tend to give you bonus yet you must also be aware of its terms and agreement on what a user must do in the bonuses he gained. Most of all, BONUSES are often available ONLY on short period of time. Taking years would obviously void it.

Where have you been from 2 years ago? Why you didn't create a thread on here back then?
2 years ago bitcoin was really cheap, i think that was the reason you abandon your bonus on betcoinpoker.ag, but since bitcoin price skyrocketed, you are trying to re-claim your bonus

this ^^.

It's a bummer you have no way of fulfilling the requirements needed to unlock the bonus... But it was written in their rules beforehand, so they have no obligation to unlock even part of your bonus.

If their site is dead (as you say it is), the odds of them giving you part of a bonus they don't have to pay out makes very little sense: it makes no sense in their business logic (why would they throw away money on a dead site), nor does it make sense in a legal logic (why would a business give away money if they don't have to).

This is a weird scenario. BTC price was decent enough 2 years ago, but you decided to wait till now to discuss this issue which is completely your mistake.

You need to understand that casino sites enforce wagering requirements for a reason which is why you have no other option other than fulfilling the requirements in order to acquire your bonus.

The site being dead is just your bad luck. Deal with it and move on op.

sad to say that there is nothing the forum community can do about this. they clearly provided a rule that is achievable at the time you deposited the money and got the deposit bonus. the gambling site has no obligation to comply with what you want. the only thing I can advise you regarding this issue is to forget about it.

Maybe because the price of Bitcoin this day or it's because he have a problem with money and that bonus can help him a lot today. For OP you should complete that requirements years ago when there are players using that gambling casino website not now . As you said the website is totally dead how they can give you that if they are not running it anymore and it's just a normal plain website today with no player.

You have waited a pretty good time to claim the bonus. In fact so long that all the other users decided to leave the site and try their luck on some other site since many gambling sites popped up in the last two years.
The chances of you getting your bonus amount is close to impossible unless a miracle happens and many users join back the website your bonus is stuck on.
I hope you don't have any main balance stuck on that site because if it is then you probably might not be able to withdraw that amount too since nobody uses that site anymore as you say.
You should just consider the amount as lost because it was anyway a bonus amount.

I can not understand OP actually what help is asking from this community? It's about bonus no real fund (before reach requirement), That means You must have to reach their requirement to unlock the bonus. In this case how we can help you where supports already said you that there is no way except playing cash game?

Are  you asking people to go there and play with you to unlock the bonus? :)

After 2 years of neglect you still care about your bonus? You mentioned that the website is dead probably thats the sign you all need that no one is giving you free money. Online casinos have terms you should be aware of that, I think you need to move on.

There is nothing you can do in order to get that money, if I were you it will be good if you will just forget it and proceed to your next journey as a poker player.

Bonus is indeed good but if the owner of the site decided to locked the bonus and they will not unlocked it even if you begged then let them because they are dead anyway base on your statement so I am sure that they don't have enough capital anymore to give out your bonus money.

Begging to release the portion of the bonus is totally absurd. You already mention that there casino was already dead which means no profit at all. Obviously they will not give any free money or bonus no matter what you do since they are already abandoning there business soon. The only thing you can do is to withdraw your balance out there and forget completely that website.

You can't get you bonus by getting the sympathy of forum user here.

I've checked the popularity of the site and it shows nothing in the traffic rank, since they are a dead casino already don't even think of depositing funds here just to unlock your funds, forget about it and move on, there are still other gambling sites worth playing, you'll get scam if you put your funds here.

I've seen it with other posts, not related to gambling but they've been letting their coins sleep onto wallets or websites like this for a long time. They've come back due to the price hike of bitcoin and that's why they're asking for help after years of being gone, losing the passwords/private keys. And on this case, it's the casino that have locked up his bonus. The asking for withdrawal had been answered already by the operators and you can't do that much unless the rules have been followed.

Even if you beg for them, they'll just say the same. Now, if this post is encouraging some people to go and sit with you there just for the bonus, I don't think that there would be people who would like to join you just for that bonus that you want to get. Sorry with that OP.

I have encountered a lot of this in the past and on the telegram channel, people invited me to play in an unknown gambling site, telling me that I'll get a bonus and but I need to deposit if I want to cash out that huge bonus, I know it's a scam offer the bonus is just too huge and it's very unrealistic for a new gambling site to offer that kind of bonus, I declined and soon I saw people complaining about not able to withdraw although they deposit until the site is not accessible anymore.
It's very much similar to your story so better forget and do not be too greedy.

To be honest I don't see any scam part in this issue : two years ago when you deposited and got the bonus there was action on betcoin ( not much but there was, used to play there). You should have played and tried to clear the bonus back then.
Purpose of depositing on a poker site is usually to play poker, expecially if you have been given a bonus incentivizing you to do so.
So you waking up two years later because BTC value climbing Everest  and asking the site to disrespect their own T & C related to that bonus is your fault.

Sorry to say but that's my opinion.

To be honest, the site looks scammy based on your description, but if you really need some help, maybe you can share the name of the site and together we will research on the reputation of the site. Bonus actually has some conditions, they don't give it for free easily, but scam sites does only take your money, know the reputation of the site first.

Site name is in opening post ::)

we can't help you with that it's their terms and condition you supposed to check if they have players or not well it's not the worst since it's just locked out the bonus it's worst your real balance was locked or maybe i just misunderstood it and your real balance was really locked?

IMO it's hopeless, so probably you should stop searching for ways on how to get that bonus. Two years had been already passed, it is most probably that the bonus that you received is already expired.
Be reminded that bonuses also has terms and conditions.

Given that this happened not in recent, makes it obvious to not be able to get the bonus. I do get the point that it is something offered to you by that time but there are probably conditions which pushed the site itself to deny your request to get the bonus. I'm not that familiar with this gambling site but I guess it is not in line with those having bad reputations. What you should look into more  if you are still eager to get the bonus, is to read the conditions if possible (during that time because there might be changes) to clear things out. Also ask other players in this gambling site regarding this concern because they could give you an insight to why such thing happened than to just ask gamblers about this concern.

i really don't think we could help you from that since it is their requirement no gambling site will compromise their requirement just because of the reason of not having enough players, haven't you checked it first on the first place? if not well you can just withdraw your fund and transfer to other gambling site there's a lot of website that has some good deposit bonus.
