Bitcoin Forum

Dear xxxx,

At Nitrobetting.eu, we are always looking for ways to enhance your experience and bring you the best offerings. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and innovate, we have decided to discontinue our Picks, Squares, Brackets, and Survivor contests for the time being.

This pause allows us to focus on developing even more exciting and rewarding opportunities for you. We understand these contests have been a favorite among some of our users, and we appreciate your understanding and patience during this transition. We are confident that the upcoming enhancements will greatly enrich your experience, offering you more engaging and competitive options.

We look forward to unveiling these exciting new features and opportunities soon. In the meantime, feel free to explore our other offerings in the casino and sportsbook sections. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and support.

This is the sportsbook that was offering a 0.5 BTC jackpot last season

And sponsored a Halving giveaway. But completely stopped other giveaways, even for players who lost a lot to them, like myself.

--------------
A book that offers -110 on MLB money lines, and starts offering prices 12 hours after Betonline etc. These are prices from 2005 Pinnacle lol

I would have major questions if I bet more than $10/game. Stay away...

You don't feel they have the right to cancel free promotions? If the promos aren't bringing in new depositing players, why would they keep them running? Sites don't make money just handing out money, they have to bring in money or look for other revenue streams. Players like yourself who may only be hunting free money, do a casino 0 good. Just helps them bleed out and go broke if you're not depositing.

Not saying you never deposit or anything, and you may not be a poor player. By what you wrote it looks as though you're concerned because the free promos are gone. Are the promos that cost money still there? Are you able to deposit and bet? Sites change.

Are you complaining just because they turned down the promotion?

Did you know? All the good things, sometimes come to an end...... If you have made these a problem, seriously based on your chat you need some help perhaps gambling hotline. Even in Landbase casino, a high roller who already losing millions will get his privilege lost after he does not bet anymore.

---

A freebie sometimes always has some problems or limits, it always ends for several reasons:
- Not bringing any benefits or expectations they want
- The interest was low
- To many abusers

---

Another things, never hope free things is always gonna to stay forever.....

They said that they are enhancing, meaning they are developing something new for their users including you. So they have to pause it for the time being, it's very clear on the email that you got from them.

Why are you complaining then, look for other casinos if the games that you played, this is gambling, you lose money, that's it. Go the next casino and try your luck and if they have contest like this then join, simply as that

Look for another casino/sportsbook and move on, casinos/sportsbooks aren't obligated to run free contests all the time and certainly not because there are gamblers on their website who have lost a lot of money, like yourself. if you want to join a free contest there are a lot of casinos and sportsbooks out there that host free contests for gamblers on their website.

You shouldn't be quick to condemn them because they choose to end contests. Every sportsbook is a business — one that goes through plenty of iterative processes to determine what works and what doesn't in order to keep the business profitable in the long run. If they decided that contests no longer cut it for them, that decision is entirely up to them. I'm sure it would be in their terms of service that contests can be stopped at any time at their own discretion.

That kind of mindset won't take you too far as only a small number of sportsbook and casinos offer regular contests and promo.

The cost of preventing abuse might have been too much. The lack of a strict KYC policy could be something that people might take advantage of and participate in contests with multiple accounts. Ultimately, they are a business and the benefits need to outweigh the drawbacks when considering what promotions they are going to offer. Their official statement says these contests are only paused, so there is some hope they could return at some point.

Honestly when I started reading the thread I thought it was an official announcement from a representative of the site I never knew it was a player there.

I am sure that they have their reasons for discontinuing it and you wouldn’t expect a company to continue running something when it’s not in their favour - if you feel you can no longer use the site because of the lack of contest then look for others that do and use them. Nothing you say here will change the decision they made so instead of grumbling about it and chasing those who just want to gamble for fun from the site why don’t you just part ways with them?

It may just be an alibi, but still, they have the right to stop whatever services or freebies they offer immediately if they feel that they can no longer handle the burden.

@OP, Is this a sense of entitlement? because what do you mean by A casino owes you nothing, even if you have lost your life's savings to them.

Hope they are developing something new for their users.

Yes, they can, but that would reflect poorly on their reputation as a casino. If a promotion has already started, I think they should let it finish, especially if someone has already invested just to participate in that promotion. I'm not well aware of the kind of promotions they are running as I haven't visited that site for a while now, but in general, it doesn't look good if it is suddenly stopped.

For example, consider the current Euro promotion of a certain sportsbook. They have a huge prize pool, and users have participated because of that. They deposited the minimum amount, which, in my opinion, is significant for typical gamblers just to qualify. If they suddenly stop it, how would the gamblers feel who are aiming to win the jackpot?

They likely are coming up with new promotions for all their members. I cannot confirm they are, but most companies know that you have to provide constant promotions to try to attract gamblers.

They just might not be coming up with new freebie promos. Too many try to get something for nothing and show sites no support except for the freebies. That's cancer IMO to sites.

For sure they get a new marketing team and decide to drop the past promos to create new ones, at least that's what logic says...

It must be hard for them because in the beginning they used to be a global company, and the fact that they only allow USA customers now was like closing the doors to 90% of their users. We know the USA market has better capital and better gamblers but i think it was hard for them to proceed with that move. Sadly i can't gamble on that site since they changed to .eu but i used to have lots of fun in their poker tables and for sure it was one of the first casinos where i bet in sports with BTC.

As far as I can recall, then it’s an old sportsbook. According to me, it’s fine to discontinue the promotions that the casino was offering. I mean, there might be several reasons to discontinue the promotions. The site might not be getting the required participants for the promotions, or maybe wanted to try new promotions. But this doesn’t make them anywhere shady. This is just your perception, OP. Moreover, there are also not any serious accusations against the sportsbook, so currently it’s fine to play there.

They're just as likely to shut down shop and leave with player's funds.

Who are they reporting to, gaming comission of a Tropical Island #18? lol

Couldn't the same be said about any of the online bitcoin casinos? We never know who will or will not pull an exit scam or who is better at hiding whether or not they are solvent. This isn't me defending the company 1 bit, but just because they took away the freebies that you liked, doesn't mean they are going to run off with everyone's money.

If you are worried about them running off then don't play there.

Do not you think you are overreacting? If you do not like that all the free contests were canceled for the time being then I get it, maybe you were a big fan and you will miss them.

However it requires a huge leap of logic to believe that somehow this means they are likely to disappear and scam their customers, could it happen? I suppose, but even if it did, I do not see how could someone connect the two events.

This is nothing new, they can stop all the contest or promotion whenever they like and whenever they want, it's why if you're want to make money from free contest, you should withdraw your winning ASAP instead of leaving it in your account.

This is not a scam, but more like a complain and sharing information with the others, so there's no need any action...

Nitrobetting.eu has a relation with Nitrogen Sports which received 4 negative feedback. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=88706)

That shows they have been interested in promos and contests for their users and have to change their strategy based on the results of those contests to the amount spent on them. The fact that you didn't win anything doesn't mean they must sustain them till you do. You are free to use any casino of your choice and there are others with better reputation as well active freebies.

Cause they closed down there freebets? I'm not a user of Nitrogen.eu but this is not indicative of a platform that wants to leave with user funds. You can draw same parallels with any other casino still offering free contests.

Nitrobetting is most definitely not a scam since I have played there without any issues in recent months though their betting limits leave a lot to be desired. Their withdrawal fees were pretty high at one point too.

They didn't force you to continue playing there op even after losing a lot of your money which is why your rant about their contests ending doesn't make much sense. Think!

They also have complaints in reddit.

Over $20K frozen/locked up: AVOID NITROBETTING.EU AT ALL COSTS
 (https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/yk915r/over_20k_frozenlocked_up_avoid_nitrobettingeu_at/)
But that was on Nitrogensports, which was popular before. I haven't followed this casino, but I believe they changed their name or are related in some way. But let's go back to the main issue: yes, they didn't scam, as it's their own promotion and they have the right to stop or change it. However, as I've mentioned, if it disappoints gamblers, it would result in a significant hit to their reputation.

Nothing will last forever, so gradually it will end, and it is strange if you are annoyed or complain about the steps taken by the gambling sites because they are business and need profits to keep running their business and it is impossible to survive if they continue to spend money but the return is not worth it.

However, since the bookmaker said it is developing another one, they will likely return to holding contests with a better system and also one that can prevent abusers from taking advantage of every contest held. It's time for you to look for another gambling websites instead of complaining which will not provide any benefit to you.

OP, this link you provided when I click I see this:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/06/28/hOmZl.png

http://nitrogen.eu/

I think you are talking about this site: https://nitrobetting.eu/

To be honest I'm not surprised by this decision coming from them, if you're really talking about https://nitrobetting.eu. look at their thread:

Nitrobetting.eu - Unmatched BTC Betting and Entertainment (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5337610.0)

The casino representative here on the forum does not post on their ANN Thread, but has constantly created random threads in this gambling section, which in my opinion could be because the casino does not have enough funds to pay for advertising, which of course advertising does not always guarantee good results, by this I mean that it is possible that the casino is facing financial crisis, a red flag that people should be aware of, because looking at the past of the casino, looking at the behavior of the casino representative and adding That's what you wrote about all free contests, so my thought that they are probably in financial trouble may be right.

This doesn't mean that I'm accusing them of anything, but that people need to use the casino with some caution, something like if a person deposited $100,000 in the casino to play, then they start depositing $500, play and if win withdraw, then deposit again if you want to play. I know some people may think I'm exaggerating, but there are certain signs that should not be ignored and should be seen as signs to be careful from now on.

So you are accusing a casino of turning into a potential scam just because they stopped their giveaways?
I don't understand the point of your previous statement. So you have lost a lot of money on Nitrogen.eu. Do you think that you are entitled to get money from the casino for free? You statement looks as if you are begging them for more giveaways. Something like "I've wasted a lot of money on your casino, please give them back to me via giveaways" or "I've spent a lot of money on your casino, please give me more giveaways so I could feed my gambling addiction and spend even more money on your casino". This sounds hilarious to me.

I like this reply the best so far.

I may need gambling hotline (like so many others) but I'll upgrade myself instead.

Happy birthday to me!

The answer to your question relies to the ToS of their contests. They usually include the right to cancel terms if ever they feel that participants quantity is not enough for their minimum target for their contest due to their reward.

Players should play not for the sake of contest since you will surely lose in the process in case shit happened like this. I knew that some players use contest reward as some sort of cashback from their losses.

Read the print of their contest and provide it here if you want your concern to be justified.

You like this reply because it's true, the team running the casino has the right to change things and we may like those changes or not. So you don't need a gambling hotline, if you don't like the changes just cash out if you have some money left there and move to the next casino... There are many other casinos around, maybe it will take time to find the perfect one for you, but at least you will have some fun while checking new places.

You can check this forum more closely, there are some good threads about sportsbooks. I like THE ULTIMATE BITCOIN BETTING GUIDE (https://www.gosubetting.com/), you can find many useful things on the site. Good luck and happy birthday.

Some players especially high roller players wager huge amount of money to compete for tournaments rewards. They are using it as extra profit for their wager or for losses recovery. Removing the tournament halfway will affect these players that already invested on the tournament with their wager.

Nevertheless this really sting for players but they don’t have choice here than accept it since casino can pause/stop unfinished tournament.

Understandable. Have never personally experienced any of this since I am a small scale gambler myself, but I can understand the feelings of players who invested so much pointlessly in this context.

However, they do specifically mention that they can start/stop these promotions whenever they want to which is why there is always an element of risk involved.

At first I thought the Op is one of the representative of the casino because of the plural word "we". But if the casino cancels the contest then it is their choice because they have the right but it would have been better if they informed the gamblers in the casino to be aware before taking such action so the that would not be unaware for them. And if is possible they would have send bulk email to the the active members in the platform.  And others have said casino is business platform and if they marking their business and it doesn't bring much fruits to them then they have the right to stop it. Therefore it is their business and you don't have to accuse them of anything if they didn't against your odds or your games.

It's either the contest not worth with the risk or the casino will going to bankrupt, there was a casino offers too good to be true promotion, after next few weeks or month, the casino suffer financial difficulty and then bankrupt.

Don't hope to big, usually worthy contest wouldn't last long since the players are making more than the casinos.

They have all right to stop, cancel any bonus even any bet placed in their site. When you registered with them you agree with their terms. 

They don't necessarily have to go backrupt due to running those contests. In any company/firm, there's usually money set aside for very specific purposes and expected ROI for such expenditure. For instance, if someone is hired to a mobile application for a book, the expected ROI is that users might find the mobile app to be very convenient and play more often from the mobile app. Contests only introduce some sense of gamificatiin into the mix.

Sorry, but what are we talking about here? The casino mustn`t create free contest for gamblers - it is business. They invest some money to get additional profit - new gamblers, more bets, etc. If they decide that they spend more money than they can get - they close such projects.  But you can remember what purposes they had creating such contests - increase profit, and you can decrease casino profit changing casino.

Yes and I have the right to post on a forum when they're becoming cheapskates

Fair point. The only issue is the discussion about this topic you raised is just more on mocking rather than questioning the casino move because it’s casino rights to this while players has nothing to say against it because you agree on it.

You can either move on to other casino that offers same tournaments or  just keep whining without any guarantee that it will change nitrobetting decision on canceling tournaments.

Of course, it's your right to share your disappointment with their actions, and it's just right that everyone should know. Some may say that the casino is in control of their rules and can cancel the bonus anytime, which means they have no liability against you because it's a free contest. So, it's on them if they'll continue or not.

However, your post has made us aware, especially me, that there are casinos that do this. Most of the casinos I've played at have never canceled their free contests, which is why I remain loyal to them because I'm having a good experience.

Running a promo isn't as straightforward as it seems.

Apart from the money you, as a casino, give away to players, you have to make sure your guaranteed contests fill up. You have to invest extra into marketing. Once you get enough eyeballs, and people get accustomed to visiting your casino, you try to get them to stay - even without the bonuses and promotions.

So far in 2024, Nitrobetting.eu:

Cancelled ALL deposit bonuses (previously, they would give you 100% up to 25mbtc pretty much every time you deposited, as long as you lost the previous deposit and didn't cash out)

Cancelled ALL contests

Their odds are still copied from bet365's provider, and are available for (much) shorter periods of time than competition. Their vig is high, and the only advantage is (used to be) anonymity and accessibility from anywhere in the world. Now they are blocking country after country.

Great look, isn't it?

Not whining. I receive messages from a certain N2, who I guess bought bitcoin at $165 per a decade ago, and could easily finance such a cheap operation. He makes it sound like Nitrobetting is the way to the promised land of digital casinos in the 21st century.

But any player who knows Nitro's history - starting with the old website - can see this lot are losing out because I'm GUESSING they're just not bankrolled enough to keep up the promos going and don't have a critical player mass to survive. If they did, small timers like me wouldn't complain on a forum their bonuses are taken away.

Under/Over on this website closing shop for good: Christmas Day 2025.

Anyone wants to bet the over? Not me

In such a case, you can switch to the casino that provides what you like the most. There are a lot of offers, welcome bonuses, promotions, etc. So, you decide where you want to play and have fun!

You need to focus on the accusation you are making against Nitrogen not who bought bitcoin at what price and when. Someone who have money are for himself not for charity. Why would he finance any operation for others?

Nitro are not going well with you, move on.

In business if you spend money for some marketing and it doesn`t work - you stop this marketing company. I sure that they have somebody, who calculate their expenses, new gamblers, bonus hunters, etc. If the result is negative - they change some programs or even close it.
There is nothing to focus on. Just inform us about it and change casino.

OP should not be mad at the casino because they suddenly stopped all the freebies they are doing. I believe those freebies was amongst their marketing strategy to get more clients and maybe or maybe not they have achieved their supposed goal and they have come out publicly to declare their stand on it.

One thing OP should know is that freebies does not know last forever and as such when ever a casino achieves their aim, they are likely to withdraw it and in some cases, they would need to upgrade their system and that would warrant them taking some decision for the time being so as to enable them meet up with their supposed goal which is what they have done. What if they are having internal financial crises do you expect them to still continue with such giveaway?

Atleast they were sincere and truthful to have made such an announcement than just shotting down like that without any public notice. They know the consequences if they had closed without any notice to the public and their customer's base, hence the announcement. I think OP should just look for else where to play rather complaining and wasting his time.

Just got another email press release, which is 70% joke and 10% good news for bettors

exactly! sadly the OP would rather whine than move on. being able to join free contests made him think that he was entitled to those contests because he lost "a lot" of money at the casino and it's probably why he posted this rant here.

@OP, if a casino no longer meets your needs, then move on. there are a lot of casinos out there that have promotions, bonuses, free contests, etc... that probably fit what you are looking for in a casino.

When casino cancel all bonuses its most likely because they are doing something new or wants to make an update - they wonteavs it like that for long due to the fact that it will affect their customers and make them leave to a different site that has better benefits for their users.

I don't know how long its going to take for them to come up with the update or restore bonuses but if you or an user feel that they don't want to continue using the site because of the lack of bonus them they can easily locate a different site and use - it must not be this site.

If their ToS or rules relating these free contests have been designed with the chance of cancellation I will not be too angry with them.
Everything is pretty clear from the scratch. Of course user can't be happy with that decision but it's part of their business.
If you think that they are not acting politely with gamblers just move on, change platform, change habit and thats' all...
I will not comment on other emails / messages posted... they are running a business, of course they need to take care of their profit, it's not nice write such commentary since you are not aware of the changes they are carry on.

This is no different then most crypto casinos which got rid of faucets a few years back. Its was basically a way to enhance user experience where people didnt need to make a deposit to play and it was also to promote the site.

A user would use the faucet, find the games interesting and then make an actual deposit, thats how a casino generated exposure and users which increased their revenues. However later the faucet abuses started to happen and they got rid of them.

Why? Because it wasn't generating revenue in the long run and just was attracting a bunch of free loaders which never made an actual deposit. This situation is no different.

Well, I am a bit surprised. Not because they stopped several promotions, if not all of them. Funny they were still having any promos with the shrinking player base. All the players are moving on to bigger and better sites, nitro is stuck in 2018 and never really did anything to improve or add some up to date features such as weakly bonuses, drops and so on.

I am surprised about the fact that there are actually still people at the site that use it.

There are always a loyal customer base for any business and to maintain a business it requires loyal customers. These customers never care about any promotion and benefits. They stay there for the original product only. In nitro's case it's their gambling platform.

I have been gambling with a site from long time [let's not mention the name]. I don't think I care about any promotion they launch or any bonus they give me for the bets I place. I feel comfortable, a line of trust with them so no matter what they do, my first choice is them when it comes to sports betting.

Same here, I have this site that I've been using for a while now, and I am still loyal to them. I know they also have some promotions, but I haven't been very active in joining because I'm just focused on my regular betting routine. I'm happy to be loyal since they never failed me with how fast they process withdrawals. Every gambler looks for something, and that's what I usually look for, the kind of experience that satisfies me. Of course, the first thing is reputation, and I'm talking about casinos with good reputations only.

Which site you thought I am indicating here? 😂
Let me give you some options: Metawin, Stake, Sportsbet, Duelbits, Sherbet or none from here 🧐

You don't want to mention it here, so I won't guess, but I have a feeling I know which site you are referring to.  :D

All the sites in the choices are good gambling sites, so I'm sure it's one of them, as all or most of them are constantly running promotions or giving bonuses.

From my understanding, or according to how and what I understand their message you shared above to mean, there is absolutely nothing to worry about, like they clearly said, they are possibly trying to innovative, find, build and implement new contest ideas, don't you feel that is a good thing? And new opportunities coming?

Look, you have to understand that, when a particular kind of wine stays in a bottle for way too long, at a time, it changes taste, it expires and completely loses its good taste and aroma, when that happens, the company have to empty that bottle and fill it with new wine, so as to keep customers enjoying it still - this is exactly what I see that is happening here, according to their message above.

So, personally, I see no reason to panic as long as you and other players can withdraw funds safely without any form of delay, if you have been playing on this casino for a long time and still enjoy playing there, then keep going and expect them to launch new and better contest soon.

I'm also waiting for an announcement about this. I didn't know it didn't push through, which is why I haven't heard anything. For sure, this has a negative impact on them. If they cancel just a contest, what about their bigger contests? If they plan to hold a contest, the prize should already be ready, not just stop suddenly because there aren't many registrants. It's good that they are being honest, but it's different for those who put in effort and waited to know the contest results.

They are being honest, but they didn't anticipate what the gamblers would say about it. However, has the free contest really been stopped? I mean, at least there should be someone who can verify that aside from the OP accusing Nitrogen of doing so. Also, they have a representative here who I think is active. Why can't they drop by and clear things up if they truly care about their reputation?

The rep in this forum doesn't really post anything useful. All he would do if refer you to their email support.
And of course the contest has been stopped already, btc halving was like 2 months ago, haha.

OP is not accusing nitro, he is sharing an email which they are sending to their customers. That's not an accusation but sharing facts my friend.

My bad, sorry I didn't know it was an email. Maybe I didn't read the OP thoroughly. If it was an email, it should be presented as a screenshot to look more valid, because with the post OP can be accuse for trying to fabricate an email content sent from Nitro that we cannot verify. Also, there are no other users here sharing the same experience as OP, or maybe there aren't many users here using Nitro as their casino or sportsbook anymore.

It doesn`t matter. The casino change their marketing. They stop giving money for free. I don`t know, may be they decide that they got the result, may be they decide, that it was bad marketing. So it doesn`t matter even if the OP lies(i don`t think so) - they don`t cheat, no any problems.

So has anyone deposited there lately?

More importantly, have you cashed out from Nitro in the last 2-3 weeks? Please share your experience here

I don't use this casino and to be honest I wouldn't. I hope that anyone who uses this casino reads their TOS very carefully and is aware that they may face some problem that will not have a solution. I say this because most people create accounts at casinos because of bonuses and this casino has a very clear TOS that states that they can cancel or change the bonus whenever they want or find it necessary. Since you have already had a bad experience at this casino

then the best way would be to forget about them, unsubscribe from their promotional email notifications so that you don't receive any promotional emails from them and focus on using a casino that is more reliable and that, if you like bonuses, has bonuses that satisfy you based on the amount of money you are willing to spend at the casino.

It's strange that in the last 5 days there have been new comments on Trustpilot about this casino and they are a sequence of negative comments, their reputation is still declining

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/02/5madf.png

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/nitrobetting.eu

and you need to correct the casino's address in the thread, because the address in the thread doesn't work, their address is this: https://nitrobetting.eu/

      -      If there is a casino that has canceled the contests they announced, and if the date of the contest itself is still far away and they suddenly cancel it, they still have the right to cancel it. Because it is better for them to continue if they know that they will be in trouble or have problems if they continue with the contest they have.

So for me, it's okay what Nitrogen did that canceled the contest they had before; at least they already gave awareness and reminders to those who were supposed to participate in the contest they announced.

I don`t see any reasons why someone can`t withdraw or deposit. They just cancelled free money. I don`t see anything common with scam. If they want to steal money - it would be better to attract more gamblers with different promotions. I don`t use this casino, but i don`t understand why you think that they are cheaters?
PS. Anyway everybody must make his own research before spending his money.
