Is the OP going to take your advice? If he really feels he has a case against FortuneJack he has several ways to make a complaint and he should seriously consider his options. If he will not ask mediators to get involved to try to solve the issue to his satisfaction (and there is nothing the forum members can do for him), what exactly will he do next?

It does not matter on which tactics scammers employ or whether it is 1xbit/1xbit1 or a different casino. If innocent gamblers applied due-diligence before sending their funds to any website then they would improve their chances of not being scammed.

To be honest, we are fighting a losing battle because scammers will find a way to scam. If all we can do is highlight the scams and then hope to shield or protect some of those newbies, it means we have momentarily caused disruption to their scamming plans and they will probably find other ways to scam.

Scam warning threads already exist elsewhere but I broadly agree it would be a good move to have a pinned thread. Having said that I think it would be far more constructive if any such pinned thread were not related to a single entity or organisation (such as 1xbit/1xbit1) but rather act as a generic warning.

If you have solved what you claim happened then is it not best now for you to lock this thread. You drew a lot of attention on yourself for something that you cannot recall whether you did it yourself. If there was a possibility you changed your password yourself and forgot about it then you should have investigated it as an option beforehand.

If there is nothing more for you add here then consider locking the thread.

If you have given them what they asked for and they have said the information does not align with the actual records then there is a dispute. If you adhered to their requests for proofs and documents, you should not hesitate to take any form of legal action. If they receive a legal notice from your lawyer maybe they will have to give a further explanation as to why they refused the withdrawals or they will write to the Court asking for proceedings to not go ahead based on them releasing evidence to a judge.

Just because Duelbits are not stating the exact issue that made them stop you from making the withdrawal does not mean there is no issue and does not mean they will not release that information at a later date to yourself, your lawyer or a judge.

The Duelbits forum representative should post here again to explain whatever they can about the issue and either contradict or challenge the OP on his statements or simply accept they selective scammed him. A statement from Duelbits in this thread is overdue.

I am not implying Duelbits or any other casino should not be punished in any capacity, on the contrary any scammer or selective scammer should be punished but as of now we do not have a better picture of what is going on because (apart from one post from the Duelbits forum representative) this thread has effectively been a one-side story.

Regarding the deposits made by the OP, after he sent them various proofs he received this from Duelbits in reply: "In order to thoroughly investigate and address this issue, we kindly request that you provide additional evidence that clearly shows the origin and path of the funds involved. It would be helpful if the proofs include specific dates, times, and any relevant transaction reference numbers. By providing such information, we can better understand the situation and work towards a satisfactory resolution."

I understand there are screenshots of how successful the OP may have been at other casinos but at the moment keep his alleged winning streak aside. Did the OP send additional information after this email from Duelbits on 15th June 2023?

In the deposits screenshot it shows the OP made 10 deposits within a 24 day period ranging from $23,000 to $199,000 with both BTC and USDT.

Unless I am missing something, if all he sent to Duelbits were 3 Etherscan links with a few thousand USD$ in transactions and nothing else subsequently even though he was requested to send more, then that could be (in part) the reason why the issue currently remains unresolved.

Before he commences legal action against Duelbits I think the OP should at least explore this avenue beforehand.

Your comments have been noted and we agree to disagree because I am saying my assumption is correct

Keeping aside our differences of opinion related to this matter, what do you think the OP should do next in order to try have access to the funds he claims were scammed. Apart from proceeding via a legal channel what else would you suggest and do you think he should appoint a lawyer to represent him?

Do you think it is highly probable they already know what those patterns are and they are not willing to divulge them in a public forum out of fear that others will attempt to follow suit? If they have evaluated the case and concluded they will not pay on the basis of fraud taking place as well as the OP willingly sign up to terms and conditions that he is now (allegedly) in breach of, there is not much he can do.

FortuneJack seem to have paid back deposits but are not willing to pay winnings based on fraud. If the OP wants to take this to a complaints tribunal then he really should proceed if he believes he is in the right.

This might be a timely reminder to those that are thinking of sending funds to 1xbit/1xbit to take a look at their reputation within the forum. THere cannot be a doubt that not all of the scam allegations against them are genuine but what can be said is there are a substantial number of allegations that are backed up with some form of credible evidence.

I request that those that find their way to this thread and this post, please refrain from using their website.

They have not stated it is unacceptable or mentioned that it is in breach of any rules or code of conduct therefore maybe using a VPN is not related to the specific case. As far as FortuneJack is concerned, is using a VPN really problematic in any capacity after reading this link: How do Gamblers benefit from VPN

It is safe to conclude the OP using a VPN is probably not at the heart of this story.

If the OP has claimed a phantom change of password took place yet on the same the day he applied to a signature campaign using an address he has used on at least 8 different occasions while applying for various campaigns, then I cannot see the benefit. If there is another option then that would be interesting to see.

What exactly he thought he would achieve with this thread is the real question now.

I would like to remind those posting in this thread that the Duelbits forum representative has posted a reply to this allegation. They posted the reply on 2nd June 2023 and last logged in on 8th June 2023. Though some members may find the reply incomplete because they have not added an update, I would say that without disclosing in full the situation to anybody (as they have seen it unfold) what more are they supposed to do?

Duelbits is not some selective scamming enterprise they are a highly respected organisation sponsoring international events which might not constitute a free licence absolving them of responsibilities but it certainly does give them a seal of respect and approval in the eyes of many. On the surface would they scam a customer over a $500,000 payout when they have paid out past winnings of over $500,000? I think they would not do it.

Keeping aside the golden rule to not believe that just because someone has never scammed before therefore they will/can never scam, I find it difficult to fully understand what the OP is complaining about when he signed up to their Terms and Conditions when he chose to enter in to a contract with Duelbits.

If the OP believes he will not receive any help from Duelbits then surely the logical step would be to try to get his funds if he believes they were unfairly seized from him. There are legal channels for taking his complaint forward therefore what will he do next?

After reading this the first thing that came to mind were a couple of recent cases where threads were used to express disappointment at receiving a neutral or negative tag and as a result of that what followed were connections to alt-accounts and farming accounts and more neutral or negative feedback with trust exclusions too.

What happened was that you started the thread because it had some meaning and/or value to you however like a huge number of other newbies (that start threads complaining and alleging misdemeanours) you did not revisit to read what was being said.

Keeping the obvious aside which would be related to you being busy or otherwise pre-occupied, I along with others would wonder why you did not make time to post again two day after you created your bcquiet account.

Attention seeking is not out of the question in this wonderful forum of ours because we seem to attract people of all dispositions here 

Whether the OP is doing exactly that or whether he is doing else remains unknown but it seems he applied to join a signature campaign using a previously used BTC address on the same day this thread began.

With the greatest respect to everybody here especially to the OP, I think he should consider locking the thread and letting it move down the page listings. We can all see he has repaid the amounts that were involved and both affected businesses (Coinomize and YoMix) have moved on too therefore if the reputation of the OP is intact then he should probably consider locking this thread.

Well, the OP used an address today when applying to join a signature campaign. He used an address he has used previously for joining signature campaigns: bc1qalv6lg6qt7g72jx35th694zzfa98gc6d9zm0w5

He should be able to sign this address otherwise he would not have applied to join another campaign with it today therefore in this particular instance would it really matter?

If you received back your total deposited funds but did not receive any winnings (because they were contested by 1xbit/1xbit1) then that is something of an event for you hold on to. Such is the scale of allegations regarding selective scamming by 1xbit/1xbit1 that it would be easy to forget things but reading they actually returned deposited funds after they alleged fraud in the first place, it really is not a common move by them.

You should be happy you managed to get something back from them because not many people do.

Congratulations, it must be a very big stress and pressure finally off your shoulders to be told you are no longer liable to be paying funds for the hack. The fact that you and Coinomize have also settled the issue is truly remarkable. From being in the dire situation you were in when the funds were no longer in your wallet (to where you find yourself today), it is a day for you to be proud of.

You may have unfortunately lost one of the two to a competitor campaign manager but at least you carried on managing one of them.

Rather than simply walk away from the issues in the aftermath of the incident you posted about it to inform us and then you made amends by repaying those that initially trusted you with their funds before they went missing therefore congratulations once again.

As the John Abraham is no longer in a signature campaign the person using the account will probably let it fade away soon because if it cannot generate any income (or money) for the person controlling the account, it will be of no use.

That at the very least is one positive to appear from this thread that naim027 was posting using strong religious beliefs as a way of conducting himself as well posting complete paradoxical explanations certain opposite conduct. Add to the compulsive lying and attempted manipulations along with the using of profanities then it is a reminder of the reasons why he was distrusted by many members (and it was not just because he had many alt-accounts).

Without a doubt the moderators should take a tough stance against him and ban him then look at banning his known alt-accounts too.

There are many good members that from local boards you mentioned therefore it would be difficult to support the theory you have about merit abuse but on the subject of naim027 I think the moderators should have kept the original ban.

You are right they have been exploiting the generosity of the community for far too long but as long as the process of banning and then possibly removing the ban on appeal is concerned, it gives hope to account farmers that even their banned accounts stand a small chance of reprieve.

Thank you for not putting all members that are posting particular threads (and in particular boards) in the same box.

That is a good answer considering the circumstances

From time to time some alt-account or another belonging to naim027 will eventually be found out and tagged, you are right about that. Whatever the real relationship between them it does not interest many of us here, they both can trust each other as much as they want but most of distrust one because of his compulsive lying and farmed alt-accounts while the other one has outgrown his ego and shown levels of increasing narcissism as he began managing multiple signature campaigns.

Personally, I trust neither of them.
