Bitcoin Forum

Housebets.io is the flagship DeFi Crypto Sportsbetting & Casino powered by LunaFi Protocol.

What does this mean? We payout. This platform was built by players who wanted somewhere to bet where they didn't have to worry about being paid out. All the sports bets are smart contracts on the Poylgon network & the counterparty to these bets are liquidity pools on LunaFi.io. Deposits & Withdrawals are instant.

We are a community-owned platform & every time you bet, you are rewarded with LFI giving you ownership of the protocol. We have plenty of other rewards & would love your feedback as we come out of Beta.

We are also airdropping $LFI to 350,000+ wallets on the 27th of April. To learn more, please visit docs.lunafi.io

Welcome to the forum, you need to buy a copper membership [1] in order to post an image in this forum, you're still newbie that's why the image is not shown.

As I can see this is an another DEFI casino and offer dividend reward, you're also accepting Bitcoin too. How it's possible we can gamble using Bitcoin? I don't see sign up button. My assumption we need to login using email address and we will get an address or unique code to deposit our Bitcoin?

I just visited your website I like that you have sportsbook and casino but one thing that caught my attention it is the bet mining, what was that game? I tried to click it but I think I need to register or login first before I can see what is it? I think a preview of the games you have would be much better.

This is a typical web3 casino in which you will see the registration when you click the "connect" button. You will be prompted with a different option to register using metamask, email, and wallet connect. I just visit the casino and manage to connect my wallet. You're right that you can access to your Bitcoin wallet once you already have an account. Their Bitcoin wallet support native blockchain so I guess the casino is indeed good to launch their ANN thread here.

Maybe anyone is interested in this casino's upcoming airdrop on April 27th. See link here: https://docs.lunafi.io/lunafi/

Welcome Housebets.io to this Forum!

Unfortunately, I have to say that your presentation here in the forum is not really good. So little information and just a broken link just doesn't look serious and is bad marketing. So I've been looking for information and haven't found anything good so far. Your website have a very bad rating on scamadviser.com and your domain is only a month old. Even though you may be a reputable casino, you still have a lot to learn about marketing. I wish them every success.  ;)

Welcome to the forumThere's an error with your image, I think you need to fix it and even if you can fix it I think you need to upgrade your account to copper member as the only users who can post images are members rank and above, what are the promotions you can offer to the forum maybe you could have a special promotion just for the bitcoin talk forum users.

Yes! Connect your Metamask/Web3 wallet or use magic link, which creates you a ERC20 wallet that you can interact with the blockchain with. If you deposit BTC, It is converted into WBTC and held in our smart contracts on the Polygon Network.

Welcome to the forum this is a good way to start by creating your own ANN thread, but then you need to upgrade a lot of things on this thread to contain the necessary information that will answer some simple questions that may arise and also get yourself a copper member account to be able to post image freely.
Mean while let's see how things unfold going forward and in all things being equal we may see more of your active presence here in the forum.

Very good that you have decided to invest in a copper membership. With the picture, the thread looks much more professional than before and makes a very good and serious impression. I can also recommend that you get a review from BTCGOSU (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262141.msg54793443#msg54793443) and work with efialtis (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2597426). His experience may be very useful for you and his reviews are of great value here in the forum.  :)

welcome to the forum and congratulations for the site it is a site with a very beautiful design. well, in addition to observing the beauty of your casino, I saw your TOS and I confess that there are points that left me shocked, for example this is the TOS of your casino and I removed the parts that left me shocking:



they are very hard rules, that means that anyone who uses VPN will be blocked in your casino, I think it's better that you say that in this thread because many people, including me, are not used to reading the TOS of casinos, and after creating an account and they deposit and start playing and they will see their account blocked because they are using the VPN, that's why I think putting in the OP strongly recommending that people read the TOS a lot before creating accounts will be very important

I don't understand why your casino will ask users to answer what is the purpose of using your site, looking at money laundering, someone with the intention of laundering money will not put money in a casino knowing that they will have to play and will have the risk of losing money and also having to run the risk of doing KYC, that's why I think that few people are going to take money to launder in a casino, that move would be a big stupidity, money launderers will look for exchanges or mixer sites, money launderers will waste no time in laundering a few sums in a casino. but the casino must guard against money laundering i just hope these tough rules don't turn away customers

There are games on the casino that has less house edge that perfect for money laundering. For example is French roulette that let you bet on both side of either black or red. The only time the launderer lose is when zero win but he only lose half of his money when zero occur. The chance of zero to appear is very low while launderer can play this game slowly while achieving the casino VIP rewards such as rakeback to cover his loses.

Casino has a money launderer that is why KYC and wagering requirements for deposit was implemented tomcounter this stuff.

It's crazy, I just saw a video about this Housebet casino from an influencers YouTube channel, he claimed that the airdrop is up to 5000$, for a token that's not listed on any exchange yet, it's good to see that this casino is on this forum already.

I decided not to check it out since it requires using my wallet address to connect to some other gambling platform and make some deposits over 50$ to be eligible for the airdrop, correct me if this information is wrong OP.

Another worrisome thing is that HouseBet casino is very new and the profile is also brand new, To this day I am finding it hard to trust any new account on this platform, you will never know which one has some other plan for you.

These terms and conditions are required to get a license in Curacao. They are modelled from Stake's t&c's, the Casino you promote in your username! I can say that your bets are paid out automatically, and withdrawals are instant. However we do need to have some degree of KYC, It wouldn't be right to have any tolerance to money laundering :)

Please check out lunafi.io, the protocol behind housebets.io, but we understand your concerns we are indeed new. Please let us know if you need any help understanding the platform and we can help you build trust in us!

The Airdrop

The first season of our airdrop campaign rewards the gambling degens who have deposited (from a unique wallet) to Stake, Rollbits, Roobet etc. We have captured over 250,000 individual wallets, with most deposits going to off-chain cryptos, sportsbooks & casinos. The snapshot was taken on 31st March 2023. Check the qualifying wallets of the companies shown above here.

Claimable airdrops will be from $50 to $5,000 (25,000-500,000) LFI.

What are the variables we have used to calculate Season 1?

Housebets.io activity
Number of Deposits on competitor sites
The sum of Deposits $USD
Avg Deposit $USD
Wallet Value $
ETH Transaction QTY
Overlap with top NFT projects
Tier 1: BAYC/Punks/Top Tier ABs
Tier 2: Azuki, Doodles, CloneX, Moonbirds, Cool Cats, MAYC, Creepz
Tier 3: All other projects in the top 50 volume over the past four months
A Polygon user?
Last date of  ETH transaction

Seasons 2 & 3
Season 1 is about getting our name out, but Seasons 2 & 3 are for the Housebets users. Your $LFI bag will depend on how active you have been on the platform. More details to follow, but you can expect the airdrop to focus on:

Sports & Casino Turnover
Net Deposits
$LFI deposits
Race to Mars podium finisher (our daily leaderboard live on 13th April)
House Pool deposits on LunaFi

My Gosh what a feel I got when I visited the website.
That black background with vibrant colors steal the show, while also giving enough opportunities to us for playing and also getting a chance to earn LFI tokens. I've become a fan of the concept, however I'd like to ask a question that came to my mind instantly when I knew that most of the winnings will be sent instantly because it's through the liquidity pools on LunaFi. So, if a big player wins huge on your casino, will the liquidity be drained away to pay the entire winnings to him?

Welcome mate. Your casino seems to be an interesting one though but I must commend you for your UI as it is very unique. You got a good developer and a nice brand but all these does not guarantee you the traffic but your services rendered coupled most with your customer care service. I will urge you to be steadily active as this seems to be the account to the representative of the housebet casino and therefore, must be consistently be active to responding to questions, enquiries, complaints etc as these are the things members look at  in sourcing for casinos to identify with.

As you can see for yourself, there are big names for which you will have contend with here as your popularity is not that  strong and I believe you know the benefits of advertisement and promotion which I will advise you to seek the expertise of a good signature campaign manager to help manage your signature campaign management. You can contact @Royse777 for your  campaign management.

Love your feedback! We have been building this for so long, so nice to hear some appreciation! Regarding the liquidity issue you mentioned: There are limits in place to make sure this can't happen. We will continue to add liquidity too, so we can take larger bets, we are just coming out of Beta. The LFI pool also acts as a last resort of insurance should anything happen.

Thanks for your kind response.
I'm still a bit skeptical about something I'd like to ask.
As you said that LFI pool will be the last resort of insurance if any big bettor wins and you don't have enough to pay him, may I ask that except this LFI pool liquidity, do you have your own backup capital (I'm not asking about adding liquidity or something, but in other major crypto) in order to keep your end safe? I mean, is there some amount (I'm not interested in asking to disclose it) with you already that you'll use both in advertising/marketing as well as payments to gamblers should they play and win big at your place, or are the winnings completely dependent on the liquidity of players alone?
As well, I'd like to know the type of bonuses you guys are providing on deposits (if any). I'd also suggest you to give some free spins to new players to try out your casino, this will help drive real traffic to your casino as well as may also convert them into permanent players of your casino if they like playing there. Last but not the least, as CryptSafe suggested, if you're looking for advertising and marketing, I don't think there's any better place but this forum that has thousands of gamblers available here whom you can hire through signature campaign and spread the word about your casino.  ;)

The ease of lightly accessing the website or playing casino using a mobile browser is definitely an added point that this site is worth testing, in appearance everything looks good even mine is very shady with slightly darker colors than light colors, I just created an account and looked into the site too The rules and requirements for this site are not much different from other casinos and they are not even that complicated. I wanted to try games at this casino but couldn't find the games that I usually play at other casinos, such as Limbo or Crash


I've only seen a lot of slot type games and I happen to be not a slot lover, but I might try to bet on football on this site later with a little capital, as a suggestion you should add games to your casino like Limbo or Crash because people might need them, Btw welcome to the forum

Wow, what a way to scam users. They're saying there will be $5000 airdrop but you need $50 to be eligible. Classic scam. Nothing new, there are too many new casinos that popped even just this month and most of them are mostly copycats. Besides, this doesn't belong here in gambling section of the forum if there's a token involved, best to move it on altcoin discussion or altcoin announcement board.

Yes we raised significantly more than what we have in the house pools. This is a very novel concept, so we don't keep all of our funds locked here and we have a significant amount allocated to marketing. Our Airdrop campaign alone next week will cost us a few hundred K or so as we are aware a lot of people will immediately dump the token! It's worth noting our main investor is Yolo, the guys behind Bitcasino / Sportsbet so we have been well-funded and have benefited from all of their expertise!

The current promotions are all around the airdrop (and future airdrop campaigns) but we will also have a deposit bonus soon, Race To Mars leaderboard (here tomorrow hopefully!) regarding free spins, we are looking into developing this software & more crypto games are being added tomorrow too!

You promote Rollbit, a casino that couldn't even payout its first big winning customer!

Re Airdrop, If you read the terms, you don't need to deposit with us, we are rewarding users who have deposited with e.g. $50 to Rollbit pre-31st March.

FWIW, I am a fan of Rollbit, and think that you are a great platform, but the very reason Housebets / LunaFi was created, was to ensure players get paid and to have a genuine governance token around the protocol. This is a gambling platform, It belongs here. Maybe Rollbits should move too with RLB to the altcoin section?!

I believe you read it wrong because I understand all you need is a deposit to another site using Ethereum that is centralized.
you can check all the websites here https://docs.lunafi.io/lunafi/airdrop-27th-april-2023/qualifying-deposit-addresses
btw why do you only take Ethereum and Polygon? as I know that Stake has BNB coin too.

Congratulations and let see how things go with you in the market because from your statement, you copied your term plat from stake which is a relatively known casinos around here and also we have not hard any proven issues with Stake here and since your saying you are following the same pattern of operations as regards to KYC it should be clear that we are not going to ask for verification so often and severely.
Since stake allows to us allows withdraw instantly almost $100k without kyc.

The paying out and the instant payment you mentioned are the major problems casinos are facing in the system. I can see that you promised a lot to your customers and if they are not advertisement techniques to lure your clients to use the site, I will also like to visit the site to see how good and true your instant payout is working even with big wagering. Many casinos would promise heaven and earth but in the end, their promises could not be realized. If you want to be a distinct casino then you have to stick to your promise.

One thing to confirm this is by reading feedback to reputable members in the forum though that kind of features really is a good for a gambling site and many gambling sites really failed in doing it. Well a promised and advertisement is different, I just hope that what you advertised is true because that will the customers will remember in your gambling site.

to be honest, I like the appearance of the main menu of this casino, but what makes me a little afraid to try is that this casino uses a web 3.0 basis and we have to connect a personal wallet to be able to bet. I am someone who is a bit skeptical of wallet based casinos as they are vulnerable to personal wallet hacks.
but I'm a little interested in the dividend reward offering that can benefit directly from getting LFI tokens.
unfortunately this casino is still relatively new and maybe i will monitor this thread if it looks safe maybe will try some casino games.

Welcome here guys , maybe using the term "Leading Defi Sportsbook and casino" is something overstatement ? or best to edit as "One of the leading"?


anyway Welcome to the forum , and there are good feedback we can read above , maybe I will take a deep look in this platform/project and decide soon if will participate.
also that airdrop sounds interesting.

What a lof of players do, is just create an account with MagicLink, or another MM account, and just transfer funds into the 'hot wallet' This Sportsbook has to be Web 3 as the bets are processed on Polygon. If you reach out to us on discord.gg/lunafi we would be more than happy to help!

To date, we are the only Decentralized Sportsbook that allows users to deposit into the house pools that payout winning bets (on https://app.lunafi.io.) Happy to stand corrected! The Airdrop is next Thursday, If you haven't deposited with a unique ERC20 wallet (i.e. used an exchange to deposit) but have proof feel free to reach out to us on Discord and we can manually add you if you provide screenshots & match your VIP level!

Is your site truly web3 based by joining a wallet to the Sportbook you offer?
A little question, friend, is there a security guarantee provided by your site to customers who play there who have connected their wallet to the site?
I know that not all customers will deposit large amounts into a wallet that will be connected to the Sportbook, but with a guarantee of security, it can at least provide comfort and a sense of trust when customers are playing.
There may be a few other web3 casinos out there but I don't fully trust all of them yet because so far there is only one web3 casino that I do trust.
If your site can guarantee security, maybe I will try to play there because security and comfort are aspects that I want when gambling at casinos.

I saw the website and found it very mobile-friendly, so I will give this a shot. I am unclear about this airdrop thing, so I would like some light to be shed on it.
Do I need to be a part of housebets before the snapshot was taken to receive an airdrop of season 1?
Or if I have gambled only on a different website (for example sportsbet because I play there regularly), am I eligible for the airdrop? I am unclear about how did you take the snapshot without knowing that I'm gambling on that website?

The answer to your question is the number one criterion for receiving the airdrop. Having an activity to Housebets.io prior to the snapshot is their first requirement in able for your wallet to be tracked down. Housebets.io is a web3 casino which probably will track the wallet that you connect to their casino for a potential transfer of balance to eligible casinos. This is the typical method used by web3 casino with their airdrop to attract customers that is playing with other casino so that they might be considered as a second choice.

You don't need to have any activity with Housebets to be eligible! Just need to have deposited in a way we can track your wallet, rather than a deposit from e.g. Binance.

A good offer, (LFI) with a rating of #4856 with a price of $0.006259, and can only be sold on one exchange, namely: QuickSwap, provided that this bet is an old trick that is often used by many gambling sites.

But I saw something about complaints from users of the Housebets.io gambling site.

Maybe, because I've never used the Housebets.io gambling site. there isn't much experience and things to say on the Housebets.io gambling site, but I'll try to briefly review the Housebets.io gambling site.
Deposit methods and deposit with decent cryptocurrencies like: Btc, Bch, Doge, Lite and so on.
Law:

For sure, I will first see the progress of some members here who bet there, before I try to bet on sportsbook betting.

So all my deposits (since I began gambling there) count till March 31st or just for the month of March only?
I also deposited through Binance and Gate.io and some other exchanges too but that is to save some fees I needed to pay in ETH if sent via my wallet. However, if I have deposited for example BTC, how will you trace my wallet? I mean do I need to give my address here for you to check or you have already done it through the snapshot?

We haven't traced BTC transactions, only ERC20 on ETH mainly. Check our https:/docs.lunafi.io

Oh, then I don't think I qualify for season 1 as I don't use ETH due to its extreme fees that is not affordable for me (I can't pay $5 to $10 to transfer $50 from my wallet to the gambling website).
Does the season 2 and 3 also have the same requirements?
I saw here that polygon (matic) transactions will also be counted, is it true?
Can I gamble using matic and become eligible for future airdrop seasons?

@HousebetsIo, Why the casino team have changed the casino name from Lunabets to Housebets. Why your team have kept the license validator link at the bottom of the page while it is showing invalid message?

https://i.imgur.com/f8mrtrh.jpeg

Now you should remove the license validator link and logo from there. Then add it again when the casino name migration will be completed with the license operator.

Welcome to bitcointalk forum!
I checked your website and it loads fast for me, but I dont understand how bitcoin can be used for betting when only way to connect with website is with metamask and other ethereum wallets.
Should we access website with email address in case we want to use bitcoin, and how decentralization works in that case?

Will you ever KYC a person where it's obvious he isn't money laundering? Will the normal player be able to play without KYC?

Regarding your KYC query, I'd suggest you to check here:
https://www.housebets.io/docs/kyc

I've got a question for you:
How would they know whether the player who is playing there is a normal player and not someone involved in money laundering? What if some hacker who used a service like Tornado cash deposits to their casino? How will they classify that money launderer with a normal player? I'm not in favor of KYC at all, but all I've seen is that, KYC is only done in 2 cases:
1. If the player does something suspicious which gets caught in the eyes of casino
2. If the casino does not want to pay the gambler at all and KYC is their only option to stop the gambler from collecting their winnings.

Yes. To make a deposit in bitcoin you will need to connect to the website with your email address. After providing the email address, you will receive a six degit verification code. When you login to the platform, you will see an option to deposit bitcoin by opening the Deposit tab from the main menu.

Do you solve my withdrawal issue?
I had withdrawn 0.68ETH but not received yet.
It had been 5 hrs.
Wasn't instant for withdrawal?

https://imgur.com/a/NhyV5tR

Thank you.It was solved,I had received the withdrawal

KYC requirements are not a matter of whether a person is committing money laundering or not, but because of the requirements requested by the casino because of a license that is used or it could be to give the casino certainty when someone makes a large withdrawal to avoid gamblers who use the casino to launder money.
It's possible for a normal player to play without having to provide KYC, it's just that he needs to find and use a non-KYC casino, after all there are several well-known and trusted casinos that don't enforce KYC.
But in the future I believe KYC will be enforced in every casino and it looks like it's really going to happen.

This is interesting why they changed their casino name, it doesn't looks good for me because I've remember there was a casino change their name, but in the end they turn become scam casino.

About the license you're correct, just like Rollbit removed their license and add it again when they have renewed their license.

Although there was above user claimed his issue was been resolved, but better need to be careful as the @OP isn't active until now.

where do you read that casino name Lunabets? because I try to check the OP Post and the website itself but i don't found it.
about the validator, i think the OP need to update the license so it will not be shown invalid again.

Welcome to the forum.

I guess that your casino isn't friendly with those customers that are using VPN since the website just keeps on loading for some of the tabs that you've got.

Also, you' havesome of those e-sports game but you don't have Dota 2 on it. I guess that you need to add it as well if you're into e-sports too.

Lunabets team has changed their casino name to Housebets for some reason. They have described the reason in their telegram channel. You have to check two posts (first post (https://t.me/LunaFi_Official/25302), second post (https://t.me/LunaFi_Official/25549)) in their telegram channel to get a clear idea about it. Perhaps, they haven't changed the name of the casino with the intention to scam people.

They have announced it (https://i.imgur.com/iDbMVdF.jpeg) on their telegram channel. Moreover, you will be redirected to Housebets.io if you try to access Lunabets.io.

Aside from this, Even just connecting metamask wallet to create account can possibly use Bitcoin and other supported tokens on it because this website is like the typical web3 casino that have deposit address inside the casino for different currency.

Like centralized casino. You will have separate balance inside while your metamask is just your account. This casino makes the registration process easily but still you will need to deposit in their deposit address.

What can you promise to your current and potential players? Do you have any more plans about how you will manage the site? What'll you add soon?
About the UI, I generally like it, except to the fact that live bets eats up too much space.

AFAIK, KYC was created to fight illegal transactions (of which, Money Laundering is an example). Another reason is to fight against terrorism funding.

They charge a whoppy 0.0004 BTC = 12 USD withdrawal fee!

Actual BTCitcoin network fees is way less than a dollar but this is too much.

---

The site looks offline for me, the following msg is posted in the website.

Looks like our website got a little too popular for its own good! We're currently sprucing up our infrastructure to handle the all the traffic caused by our Air Drop. We'll be back in action in just one hour!

https://i.imgur.com/JBnZ4kT.jpg

Edit: Site is back to normal.

Now, this disappoints me. It's a huge fee considering that not everyone gambles with hundreds or thousands of dollars. It might be better to use other crypto assets for transactions to save on network fees. I haven't tried this site yet, but on most gambling sites I've used, I usually transact using XRP and USDT (TRC20). That way, I won't worry too much about the fees, even if the gambling site adds a bit. But, there's no way I would pay a $12 USD equivalent network fee.

Yes, indeed KYC is applied to fight illegal transactions such as money laundering carried out by irresponsible persons such as corruptors and other criminals who are involved in embezzling large amounts of money.
Moreover, if the casino is actually used by irresponsible people to launder money, then indirectly the casino can also be dragged into the case.
This is why casinos enforce KYC and we also have to accept or understand the casino's policy on KYC.
I did not know that one of the reasons for money laundering is to finance terrorism because from experience I know money laundering is done so they can get rid of evidence of crimes committed when corruption or embezzlement of funds.

that's a big fee in my opinion if withdrawing BTC there is a transaction fee of that much even if following bitcoin network transaction fees it doesn't seem to cost that amount, on other casino sites it's even much cheaper not more than 10k satoshi, but the only way maybe open another blockchain who use a network with lower transaction fees because it will help small gamblers play there too, not just big gamblers.

I haven't tried playing on this site yet, but I monitor the development of this site first and see the reputation of the feedback from the community, if everything is good and good then I will be happy to play on this site too, btw there is an airdrop there, can the airdrop token also be used to gamble here? .

It is outrageous for such a withdrawal fee compared to others. This are the little things thy fail to look into. Now looking at the comparative advantage of the casinos over your casino in terms of withdrawal fee paid for is it not dissappointing to know your fee is on the high side. How do you expect me to see this and get engaged with your casino when there are casinos out there that are much cheaper to withdraw than yours.

I would advise this issue us looked into so as to come to a resolve with immediate effect because nobody would want to deal if they discovered that the fee is on the high side. They would switch over as no one wants to waste their time anymore for casinos not to talk of the experience gamblers have had with casinos when it comes to withdrawal and they see this, they would leave and get to the next available casino.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

The sites are different, I like what they do with smart contracts, I would also like to know if they can devise other ways to login and register, there are people who do not know very well about wallets or how to get one, most make registrations that They are easy with emails or social networks, it would be great if they could do it, on the other hand, I don't know if over time it can lend itself to the complete decentralization of the casino without charging for each action, I understand that casinos of this style charge for each movement.

Although it is not the highest withdrawal fee, but $12 for withdrawal fee is still too much especially for those who want to withdraw less than a hundred buck. They are still new in the industry and I think they should offer something competitive/better to attract players out there. Other than that, they stated that all withdrawal should be checked first which means that they do not offer instant withdrawal. With high withdrawal fee and with manual withdrawal process that may take longer time, I dont think it is a good deal for players.

It's dope seeing the one-of-a-kind gems your platform's rockin', like them smart contracts. But yo, think about simplifying the sign-up process for peeps who ain't tight with wallets. Maybe toss in email or social media registration, ya know? Also, don't forget about the VPN crowd – make sure the site's all smooth for them too.

On the e-sports tip, you gotta add some crowd-pleasers like Dota 2 to the mix. And hey, I feel you on the "Leading Defi Sportsbook and Casino" thing, but maybe dial it back to "One of the leading" for some modesty points.

Anyways, big ups on joining the forum! You've already scored some solid feedback, and I can't wait to dive into your project. That airdrop's got me curious, might just join the party soon.

they have a very weird and dangerous KYC policy in my opinion, also that high withdrawal fee is meaningless, at least currently bitcoin and altcoins don't have network fees more than 10$ so why would a casino charge 12$ of fee withdrawal? I can only think that this is a way for the casino to keep people's money, the most ridiculous and sad thing about it all is that they know that it is unlikely that people will deposit in their casino and leave with a profit, it is no secret to anyone that games Gambling isn't profitable for gamblers, but when you're dealing with greedy casino owners then you see these kinds of things as high withdrawal rates,, oh, weird, oh, weirder. I honestly think people should be very careful with casinos with these behaviors


according to a member who posted on this thread, it took them 5 hours to process the member's withdrawal, you see what it is to wait 5 hours for a withdrawal? and something very exaggerated, about VPN, I advise you to check it on their website:

https://www.housebets.io/docs/kyc

they are a casino with a much stricter than usual KYC policy so things like VPN will not be accepted at their casino, I hope you read their TOS well and don't use VPN. anyway, being that it's a casino that doesn't have fast withdrawals, it has this whole KYC policy, it has a high withdrawal fee, something like 12$, so I doubt there will be many players who play with little money using this casino, just think that if you play with 10$ then you won't be able to withdraw the 10$ because there is a 12$ withdrawal fee, if you have 10$ and you win and keep 10$, when you withdraw you will only see 8$ in your wallet, that's not It's fair

If my memory serves me correct, I think Nitrogen sports has a 0.005 BTC withdrawal fee and then there are that two site which I forgot their name who has a 0.03 BCT and 0.05 BTC fee. Crazy isn't it? But maybe they support altcoins and the withdrawal fee for them are small.

If you are a whale player and then you also win hundreds and thousands of BTC, I think you won't mind those withdrawal fees but it's definitely a no for an average gambler. I have no problems with manual withdrawals and many new sites do also start with this but a high withdrawal fee is really a pain in the pocket of us poor players. Again there might be altcoins but some of us are only using Bitcoin.

Withdrawals are accessible on the Polygon Network & we don't control the fees on BTC (3rd Party), but we will investigate reducing these further as they are too high. We can only apologise about any withdrawal issues, this was due to the site being down as our Airdrop caused a surge in traffic. All withdrawals are now instant on Polygon, but may take a little more time on BTC. Thank you all for the feedback, we will also be adding more e-sports markets!

I think the same, also if you have everything in this way I don't think there is a problem with the use of VPN, now, taking all this into consideration, there is something to come up with, if the Airdrops are like the Airdrops of now that Require a large Investment and what is earned is very little compared to what people expect, I say this because I know that Airdrops went out of fashion, it was very good during its good times, where many took advantage of Airdrops without making any investment, and I know that the concept from here it is not that, but also the Conditions of an Airdrop should not be so radical and that everything can have a degree of Participation.

Even if i win thousands of btc, there is a chance I also spent thousands of btc before being able to win that amount, so with that in my mind, and being some one who is always conscious of how I am spending money, I still won't accept to pay 0.005 bitcoin as a withdrawal fee to any casino, what are you even saying? 0.005 btc at the current bitcoin price is about $135, that is three weeks of my signature earning(normal payment without the bonus) spent on just one bitcoin transaction, any casino requesting such amount for bitcoin withdrawal shows the casino is being managed by criminals, and I will never gamble on such a casino - this is one of the major reasons I always find out the withdrawal fee of any casino before engaging on gambling on that casino if I find the fees ok.

Hi there,

Great website design and overall layout, I really love the shade of blue over the black background. UI looks very clean and modern.
The fact you even have Esports in the Sportsbook is a very great initiative. If you are planning to promote your platform in Esports community, you can hit me up.

I will be happy to partnership with your platform. ;)

and that they boast to be the leading DeFi sportsbook & casino, having strict kyc requirements. that's a contradiction to what they want to promote here though.
anyway, if you will read their kyc terms, seems that they are quite strict on this facet. so much for the leading defi tag line. people should be cautious and read their terms because they may not be understanding what they are getting into.
by the way, if they will be strict to ask kyc from their fiat-based gamblers, they should start thinking of placing the gambling license logo on their landing page with appropriate link to validate its legitimacy.

Housebets.io is a scam. I was givin restricted access simply because the housebets shotty development team failed to realize a bug when you wagered with BTC. $0.02 US was credited back to my balance. When confronting staff or a mod in discord or telegram I get muted simply because the chat agrees that I and several others shouldn't be held accountable for their mess ups. The mod (poochy) only reply is simply "your bets were risk free" not true, if I place a $2.00 wager im still assuming 99.5% of the risk. Housebets.io is the epitome of everything wrong in the crypto market and the reason why median class citizens won't provide liquidity in the crypto market. You advertise decentralized betting but when things don't go your way you freeze accounts and ban people. Housebets is not for the people it is a dictatorship and me and countless other people that you banned are not gonna just let this blow over. If anyone can help point me in the right direction, I'd like to light a fire 🔥 underneath their bums. These guys need to be accountable for their actions and unrestrict all the accounts they froze and allow withdraws. Its to bad that some people exploited this bug (even though as I do the math I quickly realize that the juice is not worth the squeeze). Alot of people myself included simply wagered with BTC and for that we got are accounts froze and banned. You need to make this right and really be objective about this.

wait, just to be clear, every time a gambler bets using BTC no matter how big or small the bet is a $0.02 will be credited to the gambler's account? so all the gamblers that bet using BTC on their gambling site got banned because of the bug even though they weren't abusing the bug? also, just curious, how long did the bug last before they found out about it?

The way the mod (porchy) explained it, that is the conclusion I came to. I had not been on the site for more than a week. This is a link to the start of are telegram chat but I was promptly muted

https://t.me/LunaFi_Official/31593

He also deleted alot of comments and really good questions that he had no answer for in the chat of members that were upset with the way he was handling it.

That is what I can also get from the users claims it look as if he said everyone that make deposits in bitcoin got banned by the bug in the hot,  but my curiosity is that,  why didn't the security team fix thing for the players affected by the bug or even making a public note concerning that situations?

If what ops are saying has anything to go by,  them is will be a case of negligence on the side of the Housebet team not being able to take responsibility for what is entirely their fault but pushing to members affected to face the losses makemakessense to me at all.

Housebets.io is my favorite place to bet on sportsbook.

There I can play and mining $LFI.

Here are two popular questions I would like to know as a gambler before I proceed to sign up:

1-Does your gambling site require KYC (Know Your Customer)? If not, in what circumstances would a gambler be required to undergo KYC?
2-Which countries are banned from accessing your site? If my country is banned, can I use a VPN to bypass the ban and proceed with gambling?

Either a site representative or a gambler who knows the answers to my questions could provide an answer.

Hello,

1. Housebets may perform different Customer Due Diligence depending on the activity of the user if he raises red flags, as pointed out at https://www.housebets.io/docs/kyc, but to create your account on Housebets is simple, you can connect your web3 wallet and you are ready to use Housebets, if you want to you can submit your email, a private one that you are comfortable with, but if you don't want to, there's no need.

2. There are countries that do not allow casino gaming or betting, and for those countries, we can't offer the service, you can read more about it at https://www.housebets.io/docs/termsAndConditions especially at point 11.

But yes, you are able to use VPN.

Loving this APP!

what can be seen in this thread is very shocking, some complaints against the casino being ignored by the new guy who says he is part of the casino team, it seems that people's complaints are something invisible, while they are posted on the same page and a lot close to where the guy who claims to be a representative of the casino posted, my question is: is a casino that has this bad behavior of ignoring customer complaints a casino that people should take seriously and trust it that they won't be too ignored when they have a problem?

in my opinion the answer to this question is very simple: it is obvious that a casino that has this type of behavior will do this with all customers, just see that in addition to something serious that was ignoring the problems of customers who posted in this thread, they are creating new accounts in this forum to speak well about them in this thread, this is a disgusting and dangerous attitude, because it shows that the casino has no character, they are a scam. in my opinion people should avoid using this casino as they like the money they have. It is better for people to look for better casinos that are old and reliable.

You are being online constantly but why not visit and update your thread here ?  your thread runs almost 3 months now but yet your activities seems to be forgotten this ANN Thread.

Well , Welcome here in bitcointalk , try to be more active as we need this to gain popularity and of course more players .

Exactly. The person replying to these questions ( AKA Porchy) is listed as the CEO of Housebets.io and refuses to acknowledge that there is a open scam accusation on the casino and a direct reply to his thread of mine and other users experience of how we got scammed and its as if he can't see them.

Porchy here, the founder of Housebets. We had an error that led to very small BTC spins (0.01 & 0.02C) being credited regardless if the bet won or lost. This meant that you had no risk, and this is not gambling. In any case, you deposited just under $40 to this address. 3CJdqdsS4h8W78fkJrQ16d1EcBnrxraLUb

You withdrew over $600 profit from this exploit.

3. https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1q8pdgjccs2p28n8a4h4vxrttyqsk3xjfg58npwn

As a result of you choosing to exploit (rather than some of the community who notified us on Discord) we don't want you in our community. We have paid out 100% of Sportsbook bets that go on chain & our casino margins are extremely low, with basically no edge for those with a high rakeback level and Race To Mars position. We have also paid out 100% of genuine bets. I am sure most of the community on Bitcointalk would agree with out actions here and would not have much sympathy given you withdrew $600 from the exploit that you found whilst taking no risk. We have a duty to the liquidity providers to ensure the platform is fair for both sides.

If anyone has any questions for me I am active on Telegram and Discord.gg/LunaFi!

If I bet $1.00 U.S. and do not win, did I not lose $0.98 onthat bet? And I personally gave you my address because you told me that i had nothing to worry about and you still put my business in your main chat after muting me. I will post pics and even you acknowledge that I withdrew $110 and I've got proofn in the scam accusation thread of housebets.io. that address isn't mine but if it was then you owe that wallet address too because your eagerness and impatience produced this bug. Not I. As far as I'm concerned the price you paid for your audit should be how much money you owe that wallet address and your sincerest apologies. You didnt even give a warning to the users. I'm sure that you restricted access to some that didnt even notice the minuit amount that you speak of. This was not an exploit. I had no malicious intent, all I did was deposit bitcoin onto your website.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457029.0

We have paid out 100% of all fair bets on this platform. You placed $0.01 and $0.02 bets that when they won, returned 2x, but when they lost gave your entire stake back. You couldn't lose.

Butternuts have made serious complaints about our platform and we immediately started to better understand what happened.

The truth is, he found one exploit where very small BTC spins (0.01 & 0.02C) were credited regardless if the bet was won or lost. This meant that there was no risk, and of course this is not gambling. Knowing this, he used the exploit to be profitable and didn't bring the situation to us at any moment.

So he deposited just under $40 to this address. 3CJdqdsS4h8W78fkJrQ16d1EcBnrxraLUb and withdrew over $600 profit from the exploit.

These are the screenshots of his withdrawals and total bets:

https://ibb.co/hK33jLn
https://ibb.co/Km6nC5X

We were transparent of everything that was happening and explained the exploit, all the users that were fair and brought us the error in the platform and we thank them for being fair with us, But unfortunately, this particular user chose to take advantage of the exploit without notifying us. We take fairness and integrity seriously, and it is our responsibility to ensure a level playing field for all users.

Upon discovering the exploit, we promptly took action to rectify the situation and protect the integrity of our platform. We blocked the user's account to prevent further exploitation and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.

While we understand that the user may feel frustrated about the account block, it was necessary to maintain the fairness and integrity of our platform. Exploiting the system for personal gain without reporting the issue is not aligned with our values.

We encourage open communication and transparency between our users and our platform. We value the feedback and reports of any potential issues, as it allows us to continuously improve and provide a better experience for everyone.

We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our users who have been fair and honest with us. Your support helps us maintain a secure and fair environment for all participants. We will continue to prioritize the integrity of our platform and take appropriate measures to address any potential vulnerabilities.

Here's the facts. I didn't find an exploit. I simply deposited bitcoin and placed wagers on a third party game. And was credited $0.01-0.02 after my usual $1-2 bet. Between 1-0.5% because of your teams negligence. Where is the accountability? Where is the decentralization. So far you've proved that players at your casino can be placed on restricted access for simply winning and not having your beliefs or values.

Amazing News! Housebets was featured on Bitcoin.com! 🔥

Take a moment to check out the latest Housebets Press Release, now live on http://Bitcoin.com! This release highlights some incredible features Housebets has, including airdrops, $LFI mining, Deposit Bonus, and much more!

We invite you all to read it: https://news.bitcoin.com/housebets-revolutionizing-decentralized-betting-with-trust-and-lucrative-opportunities/

Seems that they are investing on media these days. Well, publicity is always good for business.
They may not advertise here inside the forum but they are looking for other platforms to spread the word.
Everyone is free to find venues on where to expand their business and look for potential players.
So long they are resolving any complaint thrown to them, they will grow accordingly.
But this gambling site is not totally decentralized, they will require KYC if you happen to be the subject of scrutiny, under their KYC policy.
So better be prepared as well, and don't be surprised that a site marketed to be the leading DeFi sportsbook
and casino will start asking your credentials if you happen to be under their surveillance.

I went through your terms of service, but I did not see where you talk about manipulation and exploiting the service as one of the banned activities, or maybe I missed it as I read through it quickly.
If it's missing, I suggest you include it. Most of the terms of other services ban such acts.
