Hi,

We all know Directbet closed the doors on May 21. Many people seem to regret this closure and surely they're right because DB was a good place allowing people betting with cryptocurrencies.
However, the closure of DB is a real disgrace for me. Indeed, they left "forgetting" to pay me 1.92 BTC.
As I don't like to accuse without evidence, here are my BetID and my emails they never replied

Amount Received : 0.2526415 BTC.

Bet Status : Settlement in Progress

Message : A Payout of 1.9200754 BTC will be issued after 1 confirmation.

Hi,

I won a bet but the settlement is still in progress.
Can you check my bet status and tell me more about it?

Hi again,

I sent you a transaction on May 5, but it took time to be confirmed on May 9.

Now, my bet status:

Amount Received : 0.2526415 BTC.
Bitcoin Transaction ID : 90ee1c5143de1492cb43edc5f417eaaf2ca13909b02437becbdeb1d6188df30e

What's the problem? You say I won my bet for 1.92 BTC, but at this moment I only know I loose 0.25 BTC. You received this amount and the transaction has been confirmed. Is the delay of the first transaction a problem? because it was the first time it occurred as I bet with DB. I don't know...

Please give me any information to solve this problem, because I'd like to get my money back and keep a good memory of DB.

Thank you

In the end, how would you call this? For me, it's clearly a scam but I would like to know your opinions.
In all cases, beware if you have to deal with them in the future.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with DirectBet? I heard they were honoring all of their transactions and I had a long dated bet on the Astros to win the ALCS championship and wondering how I can get in touch with them to honor the bet. Am I SOL?

There's their profile on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=207436

Try PM them, email their support, etc. and hope for a response. However since their site is down now and they don't seem to have any incentive to pay out anyone on the site, recovering your funds could take a while or not at all.

Good luck man, i don't even think that OP got paid yet.

Wow directbet, another scam bookie that is going to run? Guess they had a bad month eh, trying to get some "bonus" btc from scamming.
