Thanks for the help with the Rollbit Flag, I will create one now. Do I take the flag I created for Razer down or leave both up for the community? (I'm not sure how this works with etiquette in the forum and flags overall).  

You can't take down a flag in the sense of deleting them, you can only retract it. If you want to retract the flag against Razer, feel free to do it, as well as if you want to have both account flagged. I think it is allowed, given that,

Quote
You must link to a topic documenting your specific concerns. Someone visiting your topic should get a clear idea of what this flag is about. The topic must not be self-moderated. If you flag many users, you can create a single flag-explanations topic.

and assuming that the multi-user flag is raised under the basis that both accounts are related to the case and dealing with any of them --under your POV-- will poses a risk of losing money.

I guess I will give it another week before going to the licensor to see if the new flag gains support. Truly exhausting all options before going to CEG licensor as that will be my final step if no resolution is to be had here. I will edit this post with a link to the flag here once created.

I'll try to PM Razer again in the meantime in hope that he'll reviewed this case again.



Edit: [this might be the end of it]

I exchanged couples of PM with Razer throughout the day, and he gave me permission to share the last of his reply to me, containing their stance for this case.

Hey there,

Appreciate you following up about this.

Please feel free to share our response here within the thread.

If OP wishes to send a complaint to our licensor, this can be done via complaints@gaming-curacao.com

Our team will respond promptly to such requests.

Thanks,
Razer

Hope this helps.

hey ,

Hi, I'm not related to SportsBet at any degree, obviously, but I can understand your frustration as a vvip member. Do you mind to give a tad bit more of patience while I am trying to hail someone from SB to look into your case more closely? I am PMing them right now and hopefully they'll attend to it soonest they can.
1643  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: June 18, 2023, 10:16:58 PM
Well, its what it is, Rollbit is beginning to cross the line and I really hope  that they know what they are doing, they shouldn't jeopardize their efforts in all the years theyve spent building their reputation and gaining trust from the gambling community

And I think their silence to all of this makes the matter worst - but any ways, let's hope they come around and put an end to all of the accusations, so they don't end up like 1xbit did, Roll bit Is a great casino and I believe they won't allow thier users ruin their reputation.

I think you can rest assured as I don't think Rollbit has any plan to jeopardize their efforts in all these years. The case is not that simple --or perhaps... it is simple-- stakemeharder and rollbit both shared the blame here. stakemeharder explained it themselves on the opening post of their accusation thread that they utilized certain strategy that many gambling sites will likely frowned upon, and Razer is not exactly silent, he has shared Rollbit's insight for this matter.

I don't think that Rollbits will allow this issue to linger for too long to the point of destroying their reputation here in the forum and at that we should give them time to come up with an explanation as to why they took the decisions they take and what the remedy for the ops since it obvious that Rollbit is a little off track this time and there is need for readjustment and cleaning up of the mess this accusation have created for roll bits reputation here in the forum and outside the forum also.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you bother to look at the thread being talked here, you'll see that Rollbit did not allow the issue to linger too long. They attended to the case the instance they went online and noticed my PM informing them about it, they've come with an explanation.

If there is any "mistake" that Razer made, is that he's not explaining in detail of the violation made by stakemeharder and instead throwing a blanket statement. Which... the people overseeing that thread has been trying to remedy, to get a better explanation and insight for the case, although --IMO-- stakemeharder's case is quite clear.



If you both still interested to pursue this case and engage in further discussion regarding this matter, I invite you both to continue the discussion here instead of on this thread as to not derailing this thread as well as to focusing the whole discussion and development in one place. Talking about one matter on two --or multiple-- threads at once will just confuses anyone overseeing the case as they'll have to go back and forth between the intersecting threads to keep themselves updated.
1644  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Rollbit disables account and seizes funds (10.2k)! on: June 18, 2023, 08:05:04 PM
OP, I can't support the flag no matter how many times I consider and reconsider and reconsider about it for the reason I explained here. I am well aware that at this point, my following request would have a very high probability of casting an impression that I tried to drag this case and delaying you from reaching to their licensor, but rest assured that it is not my intention. It is up to you to choose.

However, if I may propose, give them another week or so? Your flag now has BitcoinGirl.Club's support. That's 1 DT power. As your flag is a type-2 flag, you'll need two more DT supports for it to become active and the banner to be shown on their threads. However, the deadline you set is quite narrow by the time I wrote this post, in about 24 hours or so, and I don't think it's enough to get 2 DT supports and Razer to notice about it. So, suppose that even you finally managed to activate your flag, Razer might be won't realize about it.

The decision is yours, though.



Edit: Oh fork! OP, my deepest apology! It just registered to my mind that although Razer is the official representative of Rollbit and tackling cases related to Rollbit, they're not the official account of Rollbit, so suppose your flag is active, it will have little to zero impact to Rollbit's reputation on this forum, and thus to the goal you seek by raising the flag is for naught.

The banner will only shown on the thread created by Razer, which is none. The flag should be addressed to Rollbitcom as the official account of rollbit and the thread owner instead. The link to raise a flag will be this one.

As the one who provide you the link to teach you how to raise a flag, I once again apologize. This is unintentional.
1645  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: June 18, 2023, 07:54:54 PM
The "real community" has discussed about it on the said user's accusation thread, as well as has given their chance to give their decision for the case; The OP of that thread has raised a flag and announce it on the support/opposition request of flag. It's all there in the open for the community to discuss and weight in.

If you think that Rollbit did wrong on that case and supported stakemeharder, you're more than welcome to participate on the flag and the community discussion by supporting it.
I think it was long due from me. I was the one who suggested OP [stakemeharder] to create the flag. The way accusations are against Rollbit coming and their ignoring behavior about the accusations, are worrying.

Flag supported and I hope Rollbit is not using their reputation of running the signature campaign for long time and trying to get unethical benefit from it with creating doubt in forum members mind.

I appreciate your decision and for supporting the flag. I wish I could do the same, but unfortunately I still stand by the opinion that stakemeharder was not entirely not at fault here, nor does Rollbit. Both shared the blame. stakemeharder for utilizing a --probably-- value betting, though it's still unclear and they probably did that not on purpose, and Rollbit for not being ready to mitigate all potential risks when they offered promotion(s).

I even argued with myself since stakemeharder raised the flag and "complained" that no one supporting it about whether it's ethical to support the flag just for the sake of encouraging Razer to give something more in-depth like I did with tagging them on the other case. However, after taking this to the back of my brain for few days, I think that very act will cross the line of DT abuse if I did, because the clause of the flag dictate,

Quote
[...] affirming that it is true to the best of your knowledge: [...]

while I don't exactly affirming it to be --completely-- true to the best of my knowledge.

If I support the flag just to "encourage" Razer to give a reply and to make sure stakemeharder has exhausted all of the possible intermediary effort, that'll invalidate the support for the clause and I can be considered as abusing my DT power. Thus, I refrained from it until further prove provide itself... which it doesn't. LOL.

I think best I can do is to write on their thread informing them about this, and to ask them to perhaps consider giving more time to accumulate more support, if they wished so and not already had enough with the pace of this case.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449402.0
This guy his account got disabled and rollbit sized the funds  just because he was betting on low odds and his won morw than what he lost.
What on earth...  I think this case need a talk.  
If i bet on low odds or if my wins is more yhab my deposit i will gwt also banned and my funds sized ? .because ibfollowed that case and i think its Rollbit who doibg wrong here.
So now you are trying to raise the issue on his behalf? If you have looked into that thread then what solid evidence he has provided against scam accusation that will gain community support and team take action on it? There are many such threads if you look for them but how many out of them are valid? So let it be and if you have problem with casino then talk about it.
Dont make me laught . you clearly getting paid by Rollbit (look at the avatar and signature) and talking about community ? You are joking ?
Beside i saw the representative answer its more like admitting to banning him and taking his funds just for betting on small odds.  Other bookies like stake simply they limit the bets by such users
But taking the funds is another level

You getting  paid by them so better shut up as you wont say anything against them for the pennies you get
 Lets real community discuss.

Again my question why Rollbit allow small odds if based on them betting on them is
ts abuse ? Why they simply dont remove them ? Or making it like a trap? Waiting a real answer not the signature beggars answer.

The "real community" has discussed about it on the said user's accusation thread, as well as has given their chance to give their decision for the case; The OP of that thread has raised a flag and announce it on the support/opposition request of flag.

Hi i saw the Casino Trsutdice  a shady casibo and shady staff
[...]

If you check my past history with TD, you'll find me having a colorful situations with them, and I mostly agree that their representative have a tendency of drama king. But for this case, I'll say there's nothing wrong from their side. The terms is agreed by you upon signing up, there are plenty of materials to study about the terms on this forum. IIRC, the wagering requirement even discussed on their ANN thread.

My posynis for warning others.
Its just a 8$ . i dont need it  and not expecting them to reply. but others might fall victim for this site ..
Check the trustpilot reviews they all looks ODD.

Thanks anyway.

We appreciate it.

We'd really appreciate it more if you can change your thread title to better fit your goal, perhaps something like, "Warning: Trustdice Withdrawal Requirement" instead of "Just got scammed by Trustdice.win stay away". Which one you aimed for? A scam accusation report or a simple warning to the community?

I managed to successfully upload the correct information now which is VERY intrusive and privacy concerning to begin with
1. Front + back of ID
2. Selfie holding ID + text about BC Game
3. Utility bill
Images have to be less than 1MB too  Roll Eyes

I am looking forward to successful restoration of my account so I am able to bet in the casino/sports and able to deposit and withdraw again. I hope this will not take longer than 24-48 hours at most!

I am not able to access my previous bets the way things stand.

I think those documents are pretty standard for KYC procedure, is it not? Not necessarily intrusive. An advanced KYC would even require Source of Wealth, SoW, and that's pretty much a common standard by casinos as part of their AML/ATF compliance.

All things said above, I understand that your current situation is you managed to upload the documents and they're pending for review?

I initially thought that the kamen1 case was different from that of kezar1, despite the obvious similarities in the usernames. kezar1 never mentioned in this thread that he had an open dispute with the casino on CasinoGuru or that kamen1 is his account. But he did talk about it on the CG thread:

Quote
Thanks for trying to help me. I posted a complaint on the forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5455433.0 where the casino representative promised to contact you. If necessary, I am ready to provide you with my documents and selfies with them.
https://casinoguru-en.com/maverick-games-casino-player-has-not-passed-the-verification

Ahh... umm... I think you got a tad bit confused, their name and case similarities indeed do a little trick and brain twist. I am not sure how related they are and/or if they're both operated by one man, but the topic referenced on the CG is posted by username kamen1, raised under the username kamen, with the content of the thread mentioned that they've tried to reach CG and got no answer --prior to me reaching maverick's representative to notify them about this-- while the poster of this thread, kezar1 never filed a complaint to CG, only directly to the licensor, as he stated on this thread. So maybe they are unrelated... maybe.

Yes i am sure that . Are you Steve? Why are you asking a lot questions to me? If you are Steve you should solve this problem. If you aren’t Steve , You shouldn't ask so many detailed questions. I think i said clearly my purpose.

Sadly, I am not Steve, I am just an asshole who's quite nosy and eager to help people, I do proudly admit that many people finds me annoying because my questions did not fit into their agenda and the narrative they're trying to paint, though.

Now, because you're sure that the person reached to you --giving you a benefit of doubt here-- is not wrong and SB has made a terrible terrible mistake, I'd urge you to read this entire thread to get a better understanding for the case of your damsel. Or if you don't have time for it, my last post for this case before you necromanced it from the dead, which just two posts above yours, pretty much summarized what happened.

As for why I ask you so many detailed questions --I'll say that, IMO, those are not detailed-- SB's representatives have a tendency to stop visiting and commenting on threads that they deemed solved, whatever the reason is. They might be not even reading it anymore. So, I think thought, if you can give me a good reason to believe snne is not wrong here, I'd like to try to reach to the representatives to re-attend to this case.

But message received. You don't need me.
1651  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: maverickgames.com casino is a scam on: June 16, 2023, 04:20:37 PM
Use askgambler to open a dispute against Mavericks if you are very eager to this case.
Judging by what holydarkness said, AskGamblers doesn't mediate in disputes that concern MaverickGames. He couldn't find the casino on their website. I also did a quick search and couldn't find it either. CasinoGuru could be of assistance, though, if the player wanted their help. Based on OP's results, I don't think he want's to take this any further.

Even if he does, there's nothing CG can do. Based on OP's statement I quoted below this post, OP reached to their licensor, Isle of Man, and the licensor agreed on the findings made by the casino and ruled the case in favor to the casino. CG can not intermediate this as they will not intervening disputes that's already ruled out by the "highest possible" authority.

IIRC, every licensor stated that they're the last step of solving disputes due to this very reason, that their decision is final, and that gamblers should have been sure they've exhausted any possible means of resolution prior to escalating it to them

This is what also happened to the "neighboring" case of kamen1, where CG will not intermediating a case that's already ruled out by the licensor [the verdict of the said case is quoted below the line].

I wrote to both the support service and the licensing authority. Nobody protects the interests of the player. I took my deposit a long time ago, because I understand that no one will return my winnings. I just want to warn new players that this casino is a scam.



Dear kamen,

As you have confirmed that the regulator decided in favour of the casino, and as we do respect such decisions, I'm afraid there is nothing more that can be achieved here. I only recommend you collect your deposits back and let us know afterwards, so we can close this case accordingly.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Tomas

I understand you correctly that you're saying the OP of this thread, Aysu Güner Mete, contacted you to inform you, "Hakangulll", that your account is flagged by SB as one of the multi-acc of theirs, and you came here to straighten this out?

Only DT1 status is not being approved in case of long inactivity, DT2 status is based on trust of DT1 members and will not be taken away just because of inactivity. DT2 tags are visible by default as well. I'm in DT2 and not in DT1 at the moment, but my tags are visible anyway. So to wait until the one is out of DT1 and then all from DT1 who trust him are also out of DT1 could take too much time. It's better to try to solve a problem with DT member when he's still active on a forum and not to wait the problem will resolve itself.

A bit semantic, but if I may give further explanation to clarify the statement to avoid any member's confusion, currently DT1 status is "revoked" not because they're active or long inactive, the current DT1 system is constantly reshufled once every month to maintain fairness and its decentralism.

If you'll look through through the first link you mentioned you'll see that if the one hasn't been on the forum for three days and hasn't posted anything for 30 days he will not be eligible to be selected to DT1 list. So it is impossible to stay in DT1 being inactive.

You can be not selected to DT1 for other reasons as well, including that there are usually more than a 100 of eligible for 100 places. But if you are inactive you'll definitely not be selected.

...
I will periodically (maybe every month) be reconstructing the default trust list to include everyone who matches these criteria:
...
 - You must have been online sometime within the last 3 days.
...
 - You must have posted sometime within the last 30 days.
...

Ahh, mea culpa. I read the thread months ago and was too focused on the merit requirement from members who trusted you for voting eligibility that I forgot the part about active-time requirement.

Not really good to make this happen even if this was been suggested to anyone especially with heavy cased where the person create huge scams. For minor cases maybe its good to look at it but much better to leave those things exist since sometimes other users will look at it as their indicator to do better job so that they avoid to get the same negative feedback to other user. Maybe best for other active user which have negative feedback is to wait. Since provably the DT status of that user might be taken out due to inactivity.

Only DT1 status is not being approved in case of long inactivity, DT2 status is based on trust of DT1 members and will not be taken away just because of inactivity. DT2 tags are visible by default as well. I'm in DT2 and not in DT1 at the moment, but my tags are visible anyway.

Dear customer,

We kindly ask you to not post false information about the product. ChangeHero is striving to protect the customers and partners from any kind of fraudulent activity, that is why we are following AML/KYC standards. Our risk-scoring system can pause a transaction for further verification and manual processing. Requesting Source of Funds is a common practice when conducting AML checks and once the customer provides us with the necessary information, their transaction gets released.

Before carrying out the transaction, the user agrees to the policy and rules of our exchanger (https://changehero.io/aml-kyc). You have given your agreement before the exchange too. As a result, the risk-scoring system paused your exchange, and it required KYC. Since you refused to undergo the KYC procedure, according to our rules (https://changehero.io/aml-kyc), we can refund you your amount -10% due to denying going through the KYC procedure.

We are absolutely transparent and do not hide the working conditions. And we are always trying to help the user. We feel sorry for your negative experience with our service. So if you are experiencing any issues with ChangeHero, please do not hesitate to contact our support team, we will be glad to help.

Mila, ChangeHero team

Hi, thank you for accepting my invitation and presenting yourself here. If you don't mind, can you explain why OP's KYC need 48 hours to be verified while your ToS specified it to be --you said and I quote-- up to 24 hours or less?

The fact that the manager logs in and doesn't respond here(I assume they are aware of this thread), makes me think the team behind the project doesn't look on here or they don't care. That also makes me feel like hunters will have a hard time getting their rewards.

[...]

I am sure they're very much aware of this thread and the latest accusation thread raised against them. I looked into my DM with them on TG earlier today and found that it's read [double checkmark] somewhere in between I sent the DM and today, which means they've been aware of the re-invitation and choose to be silent. On their group, they also made a post replying a user about CCFI and yet ignored the inquiry made by someone else earlier --the screenshot is on my previous post-- about the scam accusation thread of MetaSystem, further clarifying their stance of this allegation.

As such, I had to resort to the drastic measure of labelling their account and the threads they made --as well as future threads and evasion-account they'll make-- with type-1 flag banner with reference to this thread for a "more" in-depth explanation why I think the flag is justified as well as serving as the "single flag-explanations topic". I hope members of the forum can see that it is not my attempt of abusing DT and flag system, noting that the flag was raised not under the belief that anyone dealing with them is in direct possibility of losing fund, but rather indirectly, as in if they invested on the project whose bounty they managed, they're exposing themselves to the said risk.

After mulling over it over a day, I am sending them a re-re-invitation to give their side of story to this thread before taking the step of raising a flag. Let's hope they decide to grace us with their presence.



Crypto Bountyes was active today, saw all the negative tags on his profile and the whole scam accusation thread, and still didn't stop his shady campaign. It's pretty clear he couldn't care less.

[...]

It also came to my awareness that the participant of their bounty group had also mentioned the scam accusation against MetaSystem, so it's quite safe to assume Crypto Bountyes, or whoever pseudonym they choose to use, is well aware of the current situation.

Whatever that is, wouldn't the fact that they fake deals is enough to warrant some suspicion and advise people to exercise caution upon doing any deal with them?

I was going to say something along those lines but I would also add that there are no TX details (faked or actual), so at best there is only a suspicion that the accused might take the collateral (assuming that after they had said they are prepared to use an escrow a potential borrower were to then go ahead and send that collateral to the lender direct).  

As you pointed out, it may be that the lender was trying to make themselves look worthy of conducting business with, but we don't even have solid proof (i.e. use of the same wallet, email, twitter etc) that the borrowers were alts - just a suspicion.


The lack of TX details themselves, in my opinion, are the evidence. There is something suspicious by the silence. Let's put ourselves on the shoes of those people whose username put by DireWolfM14, they --or rather, we-- got a promise that our non-collateral loan was acccepted and then we never received it. If we are real and not the alt of Loansik12, wouldn't one of us, at least one of us, ask for clarification that goes along the line, "hello good sir, how do you do. When can I have my loan?", or "My good sir, I have not yet received the payment." or, "Sir, plz good sir, I need the loan to buy shiba 5 years and be millionaire, I need helping."

None did.

It'll be a different case if Loansik12 PMed them and rejected each of their loan. That'll nicely explain why there is no transaction on each of the wallet and none protested. But that'll be a breach of implicit --or could it be even a written one?-- contract. Loansik12 agreed upon a "contract", and then rejected them behind the screen, and most likely unilaterally. At the very least, it entitled them a suspicion. Why else would someone offered a non-collateral service, agreed, only to decline it later on behind the screen?

And ultimately, the silence itself. The thread spread from 28th of May to 12th of June, if they're not guilty, or they've send the payment, perhaps to a different address that's changed by mutual agreement behind the screen, they surely would try to defend themselves, provide TX ID, ask the borrower to made testament, or at the very least, those borrower will say something themselves and provide statement that'll defend Loansik12.

Can we agree on these?

So, given the lender is asking for collateral (to cover losses by borrowers defaulting) and is prepared to use an escrow, what is the scam?

If we have to venture into the realm of possibilities, there are several that I can think of.

One, merit fishing, hoping that people thought their action is an act of kindness and give them merit and later on sell them.

Two, almost similar to merit fishing, trust fishing. Perhaps they hoped that, encouraged by the "successful" transaction between their alt and fake deals, and possibly the alts themselves left feedback that'll encourage members to leave similar ones, they'll farm the trust and sell them, or use the built-up trust to make a huge loan themselves which will be defaulted.

Three, and this is a long reach, attempting to steal the collateral. When there is someone asking for deal and they asked for collateral, they might went, "you go first, send me the collateral." and later never actually send the loan to the borrower. Though they do asking for escrow on their now-deleted thread, it seems that was just barks, not the bites.

Whatever that is, wouldn't the fact that they fake deals is enough to warrant some suspicion and advise people to exercise caution upon doing any deal with them?
