SCAM CASINO: www.anonymous-casino.com (a-c.bet)
AMOUNT:  $17,000


SUMMARY:

On 02/03/2024 I won a total of .40 BTC ($17,000 USD equivalent) while playing at anonymous-casino.com. Luckily I did a screen video recording of the huge win (link below)

As soon as I won, my account was disabled without warning. I have deposited a total of .29 BTC ($12,868 USD equivalent)since joining the casino. I have never requested a withdraw before and never accepted any bonuses on any deposits.

When I emailed the casino about why my account was closed and winnings confiscated, they replied : “The account you are referring to is disabled automatically by our security system. There was fraudulent activity (double spending (chargeback)). “

I made all of my deposits via bitcoin. There was no double spend and no chargeback; which isn’t even possible with a bitcoin transaction.

I won fair and square. Unfortunately I discovered this casino has awful TrustPilot.com reviews after my account was disabled.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The casino has a bitcointalk forum page, but they haven’t posted since 2020.

I don't think they have an account or representative here, nor any ANN thread, do they? If so, sadly there aren't much we can do to help with your case and get your fund back as there are no representative from their platform that we can invite here to solve your issue, and this thread can only serve as a warning to others to avoid their platform.

They have a bitcointalk forum posting, but their representative hasn’t posted since 2020. They have a blog on their website where they post monthly. Oddly enough their January 2024 post was about how to choose a reputable casino  ???

Bitcoin talk forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293254.80

$17,000! that’s a whole lot of money to lose.

I checked their Ann thread and the representative there made just 4 comments on this forum afterwards ghosted the entire thread despite being flooded with compliant about accounts being blocked and falsification of license.

I also took a Quick Look at casinoguru and they have a 4.7/10 ratings there and a few of the reviews I saw where all negative feedback – I would have recommended you create a compliant there but I don’t think you’ll get any response from the team [but you still create it though] because all the previous compliant were left unresolved. Just take your case to casinoguru and hope you get a response from anonymous casino.

I checked them on casino.guru and they have been reviewed there, try opening a complaint against them there, they might be able to get in contact with the casino's support and help you sort out the problem(but seeing the previous cases against them, I don't have much hope). also, there is currently an open complaint against Anonymous-casino.com on casino.guru.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have filed a casino guru complaint and I’m waiting on it to get approved.

This is the reason why you must always get recommendation from bitcointalk users those who has been gambling with these casino knows the best for you to join than you picking a random casino out there to start gambling since most times those trust rating are being bought from people and they could do a pay ratings where people have to rate them and got paid that is why any casino or gambling site I am to use I would first make some research over here to see if they have worst scamming accusation over here or not before I could start making used of them to avoid story's that touches. This casino sounds so new to me or could it be that since today is my first time hearing about them, and again i have never came across any ANN thread created by this casino over my stayed here for this whole period i have been active.

You got a big win, but have no idea about the reputation of this casino. They created the ANN thread in this forum but they stopped engaging with the community. I checked their representative's profile and found that he has been offline for years, so it remains to be seen if complaining here will do any good to get a reply from them. If they were thinking of running their business seriously then they would be active here.

Turns out, they've been around for a while, since 2020. The reason no one seems to have ever bumped into their ANN or ever heard about it was due to their inactivity.

OP, I'm curious, looking at your deposit history (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/3JFZZuShh2zNoSY5JhsJsRJmbDJ27FKAVX), were you started playing on their platform only recently? Your first deposit was on 2nd February. When did you sign up? Because they're currently not accepting new members. How did you got into the account?

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/04/vZLs8.jpeg

I'm adding this to the list (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5481683.0).

Oh I don't know about that and I was only here since 2021, maybe op has to post that in their ann thread since you said they have been here since 2020.
But however, you findings make me wonder about op complaint against disabling his account. I clicked the same to check the transaction history I couldn't find where op deposit since 2020 as claimed maybe there is a mistake somewhere or this isn't the right address he was meant to post.
Op please could you revisit the address you used before to associate with the site you claimed to have scammed you?

I signed up on 02/02/2024 and began depositing and playing right away. I continually deposited more and lost more until I finally won that bonus. Only when I won big did they disable my account.


I’m not sure what that screenshot you’re referring to is from, but the casino most definitely accepting new players.

I never claimed to have deposited since 2020. What I said in my OP was that anonymous-casino.com
Has a BitcoinTalk page they posted to back in 2020, but haven’t been active since. Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293254.80

I was talking about the casino, not OP or his deposit.

It was from CasinoGuru's page for their casino. Probably CasinoGuru are not aware that they're re-accepting members. I can see your thread are now available for public on CG. I am adding the link here so people can access them easily: https://casino.guru/anonymous-casino-player-s-account-disabled-after-substantial

Double spending is possible with Bitcoin transactions. I am guessing this casino accepts 0-confirmation transactions, am I right? In other words, they add the money to your balance before the transaction occurs on-chain and allow you to play with it. But you can't make a withdrawal before the transactions confirms.

I have a few questions.   

Was this the address you often used to deposit from and to the casino? It seems to belong to an exchange.
https://mempool.space/address/bc1qr35hws365juz5rtlsjtvmulu97957kqvr3zpw3

Did you use RBF or CPFP on any of the transactions for depositing into your casino account? I was never any good at investigating blockchain data, but here is what I noticed after a quick glance:

https://mempool.space/tx/e026d94285ec58ef1ade9da48b4a9c80ea481feae10db8bd174c2ec25b5b48a5 - someone seems to have made a CPFP to bump the fees of this transaction which also involves your casino account. Do you know anything about that?

Like I said, I am not a fan of investigating blockchain records, so someone who knows this better than me should probably take a look. Perhaps that causes the issues and what they consider to be a doublespend!?

I sent the bitcoin from my account at an exchange. I did not use RBF or CPFP on any transaction. I didn’t even know what those terms meant, so I had to google them. I simply deposited tons of money into this casino, finally won and then got my account blocked.

Someone did, perhaps the exchange. Although, I am not sure if exchanges do that. They usually overpay on the transactions they sent to avoid issues like long confirmation times. Mempool.space mentions CPFP in its records for one of your past transactions, which is perhaps what the casino meant when they mentioned doublespending to you. Ask the support which transaction was doublespent to see how they will respond.

The casino has failed to respond to any follow-up emails. It’s clear they sent the email about double spend/chargeback to simply make me go away.

But I'm not sure how a CPFP could be taken as suspicion of attempting to double spend.

Because you're not replacing a transaction/spending the same input/s. Instead, someone who owns an unconfirmed output from the parent transaction spends it in another transaction with a bigger miner fee covering both of them -- child and the parent.

Trustpilot has zero credibility and it is full of fake reviews.
Why do you even play on suspicious casinos like this? And how did you find about them?
They are not available in bitcointalk forum, or any other forum I am using, and I never heard about them before.

I know, I get that. Perhaps it's just just the information they received from a faulty set-up system they are using that triggered a doublespent error. Or it's intentionally set up that way.

They have a thread on Bitcointalk dating back to 2020.
(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293254.0) However, the thread hasn't seen any new posts since December 2020, which is also the last time the OP and their forum representative was online.

When I pressed the casino for proof, they replied with this email. None of these transaction ID’s even exists. I have clearly shown that I have deposited $12,868.01 and the casino has received it. Proof: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/3JFZZuShh2zNoSY5JhsJsRJmbDJ27FKAVX


Email from casino on 2/8/2024


“Dear player,

The account you are referring to is disabled because of fraudulent transactions (double spending). Please see the transaction IDs of the double spending:

You played with that money, but the casino never received it. “

Have you tried to send them a screenshot of your withdrawal from the exchange? Unless I understand it wrongly, if the fund was double-spent intentionally, there should be two withdrawal at the same time. At the very least, it should at least prove that you don't have control over the tx-fee and the flow of the fund, given everything is controlled by the exchange.

The casino is literally making up excuses with fake transaction Id’s. I have provided the blockchain showing all
My transactions going into the single bitcoin wallet provided by the casino for my deposits. They are making things up and I have done absolutely nothing wrong.

Proof of all my deposits: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/3JFZZuShh2zNoSY5JhsJsRJmbDJ27FKAVX

Have you tried providing screenshot of your withdrawal history like I suggested above? Though it's a bit far fetched, probably analyzing a Blockchain flow is a bit... way above the capability of their support staff, and they handle the situation themselves instead of forwarding it to their Blockchain analyst. Providing a more direct evidence will probably help. It doesn't hurt to try, anyway.

Took a quick look and these transactions have been replaced to bump miner fees so they aren't fake but are all invalid/dropped for too long so you can't view it on some block explorers. They do show up on blockchain.com.

e.g.
Invalid: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/681686496c9ffb202ade296347944081edc8b3f19083458c258802cd506c7986
replaced with: https://mempool.space/tx/904bbfa86f1c468db6ebfac214c6db304349210e6a5477f687dc9449d3e1edc4

This should've been fine but since they have a dumb rule of trusting 0 confirmation transactions, check if they credited you twice for each deposit as suggested by holydarkness  as well.

BTW, I found anonymous-casino on ltccasino's ANN thread.


Does anyone know if they are confirmed to be related? or this is the first case hinting they could be?

It's interesting dig, LTC Casino was, in fact, promoted their own website before. That thread was talking about their own casino, "ltccasino", and today they made a slight edit and replace the URL to anonymous-casino.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/09/vrdz5.jpeg
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/02/09/vrXdd.jpeg

Chips, have you contacted LTC Casino and ask for their side of this story? I'll probably will try to reach them about this if you haven't already.

Wtf is going on with LTC casino?

Their main domain (ltccasino.com) is down, and they initially posted a notice redirecting players to a new .io domain (https://ninjastic.space/post/63638281), but later removed it.

Now, they have gone even further by completely changing the title and first post of their ANN thread to Anonymous-Casino.com.

Never heard of ltccasino before this... or maybe heard about it here and then, but it failed to be committed to my memory, so I don't have any idea of how they work and their reputation. Speaking strictly on this, could they be... merging? A-C acquired them?

Though ltccasino's trust page shows that their email address was changed recently, I don't think someone hacked into the account and is the one responsible editing above post.

Not just that, looking at their past trust feedback (negative and neutral). It can not be a coincidence. There is no way I am trusting such a casino with my funds. It all just seems like they are waiting for one huge deposit before they pull off an exit scam.

Good idea! I'll leave that to you 🫡


Oh so this happened around the time ANN was edited + I couldn't help but notice the latest posts in the ANN from LTC Casino were all edited around the same time as well -- I compared the posts on ninjastic and couldn't find any difference. They were probably tryin to do something but changed their mind at the end 🤔

The .io domain seems legit cause it was also posted on their social handles

Got them from: https://web.archive.org/web/20231203043503mp_/https://www.ltccasino.com/about-us

PM sent. I somewhat doubt they'll come here and address their relation with A-C, though. I also noticed --after sending them the PM-- that the issue has been brought to their awareness through posts on their ANN.


It's the banner. The original post had a banner.

They have completely blocked my account so I can’t do any screenshots. I’ve never made a withdrawal before they closed my account.

Sorry for being a bit unclear. I am referring to withdrawal page from your account on the exchange, where you send your fund to be deposited to the anonymous-casino. If they suspect you a double-spend, unless I'm wrong, there should be two withdrawals made from that exchange in a relatively short time.
