Was your output transaction a CoinJoin transaction, or something more standard (ie 1 input -> 2 outputs)? If it wasn't a CoinJoin transaction, do you end up at a CoinJoin transaction by following the input chain up a few steps?
Yes, it is a standard transaction (exactly 1 input -> 2 outputs) and one of its parents looks like a coinjoin transaction (70+ inputs -> 100+ outputs).
btw, the coins I sent are still sitting there and hasn't been moved yet.
It looks like when you mix your coins with UniJoin, they will send you coins they already coinjoined.

The outputs of the coinjoin transaction are (in most cases) bigger than the mixed amount, if they are going to use one/few outputs for a payout then use the change for another payout(s) without coinjoining it again, then this is definitely a flaw in their approach!

Premium review and suggestion spreadsheet#2

Immediately after opening the [banned mixer] web page, I clicked on "Start Mixing" and intentionally didn't read the FAQ or the T&C because I know most users won't do that and to see if this will affect the mixing experience (usually if you have to refer to the FAQ to figure out what to do or what's the next step then you can realize that the process is over-complicated and not suitable for everyone).
I completed all the steps in few minutes and after the mixing process finished, the mixed coins showed up in my wallet and the mixing session (containing my personal information) got destroyed or at least I can't access it anymore.
In general, the experience was smooth and the steps were straightforward that even someone who never used a mixer before won't face a problem mixing his coins with UniJoin. However, I noticed few things that I didn't like or that should be improved/changed, I'll detail them below step by step:

Step 1: Operation Details
    - UnjCode, the popup that appears after clicking the "?" button does not tell you what the UniCode is or what it is used for. You'll have to wait till the last step to get that information.
    - Checking address validity (taproot!), I tried different addresses' formats and changed few of their characters and, indeed, the form detects when you enter an invalid address. But when I provided a valid P2TR address I picked randomly from a block explorer, the form said it's invalid! I believe a service designed mainly to enhance users' privacy must support taproot (for payout addresses).
    - Transfer Delay, the minimum delay is 1 hour and you should probably lower it a bit more as some users won't want to wait that long.

Step 2: Terms
    - The warning message in that page says: "the fees range from 1% to 3% and are randomly generated as soon as an incoming payment is detected"!
Why do you generate the fees after detecting the incoming transaction? Someone might accuse you of charging fees depending on the transaction amount ( the higher the amount the higher the fees)! You should either let the user customize the fees manually or generate and publish it from the start of the session.
    - Letter of Guarantee, both LoyceV and  DarkStar_ are correct, verifying the signed message shouldn't be that complicated and the message should include the date when it was generated.
Also, you should publish your public key somewhere else other than on your website. You can upload it to public key servers or post it on your ann thread here. This will help in case your servers get compromised and the attacker publish his public key instead of yours.
The aim of the LoG isn't only to allow restoring a session but, and most importantly, to verify that the deposit address was generated by you. So validating the signed message and having the public key on your website doesn't mean anything.
    - There are also some terms that are technically incorrect and a bit misleading such as "funds sent will not be accepted" and " valid address".
Step 3: Send Coins
    - The warning message says that only funds send within the remaining time will be accepted but it doesn't say what will happen to funds send after that, will it be lost or it can be recovered? the same for sent funds below the minimum amount (0.001btc)? What will happen if someone send coins, your system detects it while it's still unconfirmed, then the user replaces it by bumping the fees thinking he is helping speed up the process?
And why 24 hours?
    - After detecting the incoming transaction, the fee will be generated and displayed, this had to be done since the start of the session for the reason mentioned above ( avoid manipulation and let the user decide whether to accept the generated fee or not).

Step 4: Mixing Coins
    - The warning message, again, in this page says that the payout may take longer than the preset transfer delay if the CoinJoin hasn't been completed yet and the transaction fees will be charged to the customer. You had to be transparent about this from the beginning (remember that I didn't reed your ToS).
  
Step 5: Done
    - The amount received was exactly what I expected after deducting the service and network fees.
    - Unijoin claim they deleted all personal data and we have to trust them on that as there is no way to verify it. What's certain is that you can't restore your session using the Order Id or the LoG.

I'm not an expert when it comes to blockchain analysis But when I looked up the payout transaction on a block explorer, I saw that the inputs used (UTXOs) by that transaction were created before I made the deposit transaction (this is not always true for all orders). So, this means there is no direct link between the coins I sent and the mixed coins I received, at least not through UniJoin.

شكرا على المجهود اخي kavelj، ارجو ان تستمر في تحديث الموضوع لتعم الفائدة.

لا استعمل كثيرا منصات التبادل لكن وجدت هذا ال repo على github و فيه عدد كبير من منصات التبادل و معلومات مهمة حول ان كانت المنصة تدعم شبكة البرق او لا و متى تم تفعيل الدعم و الرابط الرسمي الذي تم فيه الاعلان عن ذلك، اضافة الى ما اذا كانت المنصة تستعمل عقدة برق خاصة بها و سعة القناة.
القائمة يتم تحديثها باستمرار و اخر تحديث كان منذ اربعة ايام. يمكن ان تستعين بها لاثراء الموضوع و اضافة المنصات الموثوقة و التي تم تجربتها.

^^
اسف على الخطأ، للاسف تسرعت في قراءة الموضوع و الاستنتاج.

لا اتذكر رابط الموضوع، لكن اتذكر اني قرأت منذ فترة معلومة مفادها ان عقد شبكة البرق تضاعف بشكل كبير في الفترة الاخيرة و ليس فقط عدد المعاملات.
اضافة الى تضاعف عدد مقدمي الخدمات الذين يدعمون شبكة البرق فان من الاسباب الاخرى التي ساهمت في زيادة عدد المستعملين هو ان اهم المحافظ اصبحت تدعم الشبكة و سهلت بشكل كبير كيفية استعمالها اذ اصبح الدفع و الاستقبال على شبكة البرق لا يتطلب اي خبرة و لا يختلف كثيرا عن كيفية استعمال الشبكة الرئيسية.

بالنسبة لتنصيب عقدة بتكوين اخي ulven فيمكنك تفعيل خيار pruned و هكذا لن تحتاج لمساحة كبيرة على القرص الصلب و تستمتع باغلب مزايا العقدة الكاملة.
2385  Economy / Gambling / Re: Online casino. What's the reliability of the technology? on: April 16, 2022, 11:48:10 PM
Online slot game machine's RTP will not be disclosed by the online gambling company as this would definitely backfire immediately.
That's not always true. Many casinos do provide the RTP for their slot games. In fact, being transparent about this may attract more players. Personally, I prefer playing on casinos that provide the rtp even if it's too low than playing on casinos that hide such information.
The only problem here is that you can't verify if the the provided return to player is indeed what they claim it to be, you have to trust them on that.
To verify it by yourself, you have to make thousands if not millions of spins and see how much you lost on average (and even then, the result is nothing but a rough estimation).
The best option to stick with reputable and trustworthy casinos and game providers.
2386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: April 16, 2022, 11:13:44 PM
Not always, but I do try new casinos from time to time if they have tempting offers such as a big welcome bonus without a ridiculously high wagering requirement. For example, if the wagering requirement is 30x or above, I just skip it.
Deciding whether to give a new casino a try or not depends on other factors too, such as how well organized the announcement thread is and how active their representative is on addressing forum members concerns and certainly on how transparent they are when answering questions. And to be honest, it also depends on my mood that day.
2387  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should I invest? on: April 16, 2022, 10:36:46 PM
Choosing which is the best coin to invest in isn't as easy as many newbies might think. It depends on many factors, mainly on how much you are going to invest anf for how long.
If you have a big capital and you plan to invest in the long term then the obvious and less risky choice is to buy bitcoin and/or one of the major cryptocurrencies.
If it's going to be a short term investment (or day trading) then you have to diversify your investment to maximize yiu ROI and, at the same time, limit your losses.

Oh i see, I think it is not smart to use a VPN in the first place and if you are in a restricted country it is not good to bypass the gambling site since they can easily detect it and ban you in the gambling site and confiscate the money you have deposited in your account.
Using a VPN is not always a bad thing if you have no ill intentions. What is not smart is using a VPN to bypass geo-restrictions.
If you read carefully the point 3.4 of their ToS you will realize that the intention from using VPNs or proxy is what detrmines wheter it's going to be considered  as an offense or not, see the bolded part:
3.4. You may not use a VPN, proxy or similar services or devices that mask or manipulate the identification of your real location.

But I agree that any service must not allow visitors from restricted countries to access their website from the beginning and most importantly not allowing them to create accounts.
2389  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino Game on: April 16, 2022, 07:39:58 PM
Freebitco.in is a gambling site that provides a fairly large faucet first and looking at the Freebitco.in thread it has been around for a long time, namely 2013 so I conclude it is an old gambling site.
...
Yes, I remeber when I came to know about freebitco.in back in 2016 or 2017 I decided to create an account there just because of their faucet which used to give a good amount of sats and it was one of the few trustworthy faucets out there. To be honest, back then I didn't even know they were a gambling website, maybe that's due to their domain name freebitcoin.
2390  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to locate a nearby Bitcoin ATM (A step-by-step guide) on: April 16, 2022, 07:06:58 PM
The problem with bitcoin ATMs other than asking for personal information such as an ID or a phone number, is that they are usually installed on public spaces which is not convenient for users who value their privacy.
Also, ATM's charge high fees, usually higher than any online exchange would charge.
I believe anyone who used an ATM, either used it out of curiosity to know how it works or because he didn't have any other option to buy/sell bitcoins. No one would be willing to use them on a regular basis.

You may want to read this topic written by The Pharmacist if you want to know how it feels to use an ATM for the first time Smiley
Finally used a bitcoin ATM successfully!

if I really want to go away with the money I wouldn't have post this thread secondly I don't know how to post images I would love to proof and clear all doubts.
No need to upload images and you don't have to prove anything as long as the scond party (the scammer) does not show up and start accusing you of withholding his money. Even in that case, tou can prove you sent his money back by providing the transactions IDs instead of images that can be faked.
Anyway, good to know you sent the money back. Next time, if you believe someone is a scammer just block him and don't waste your/his time.

Here is the picture of Yuliya with our CEO....
Maybe that's just me but it doesn't look like it's the same person. As COOLCRYPTOVATOR suggested, you need to ask her to provide a clearer photo or a short video at the office to confirm that she really work with you.
Regarding the whitepaper, didn't you proofread it before publishing it! didn't you notice the plagiarized content?
The problem with plagiarized whitepapers and why a project with a plagiarized whitepaper can't be trusted isn't only because it's considered intellectual property theft, but because it means that there is no project to begin with.
2393  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: April 16, 2022, 04:31:05 PM
Let's be honest with each other and realize that casinos do not really differ from each other when you gamble in them. Sure there are terrible ones, but I could name you 10 casinos just in the crypto world where gambling in slots on all of them mean nothing big different from each other
I hear this a lot and at first sight this seems to make sense since we have almost the same slot games on different casinos and the same game providers.
However, there is more than slot games on casinos and gambling isn't just hitting the spin button and wait for the result.
The gambling experience is different on every casino even if you play the same game.

We have posted reply on player's complaint here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5389546.msg59871769#msg59871769
Honestly, I was expecting more than that from you! I was expecting you to bring some evidence to back up your claims and to justify the decisionyou took. But you didn't do that  although your investigation took way too long.
If you can't prove that a player has cheated or has exploited a bug/vulnerability then you have no right to withhold his money.

Sorry, but am afraid I have to support the flag too.

I was willing to give OP the benefit of the doubt and hoping that he will come back and address our concerns and start refunding players who couldn't log in to their accounts. But after reading the recent replies, especially Stalker22's finding, I became more convinced that theycare scammers and will never see them again around here (unless they come back under another name, ofc).

You should keep track of promotions so that you don't miss out on any.  Smiley You may get these notifications through email or you can visit this thread regularly as all promotions are announced and discussed on this thread also.
Thank you for the advice Smiley
I receive notifications about new promotions on my email and I regurarely visit this thread to check for updates because I know OP is very active and always post about new promotions and how to join them.

Likewise, a 100 dollar deposit is also heavy for me but don't they have other promos like getting half of that spin from deposits lesser than 100 usd, something like that?
Yes, they have. If you check their last promo terms, for example, you will realize that you can get 60 free spins just by depositing a $30 or 140 fs if you deposit $60.

Usually people who join a forum dedicated to discuss a certain subject, are either knowledgeable about that sibject or at least interested in it. Bitcointalk is an exception because most new accounts (newbies) are either part of a big farm or created solely for the purpose of joining bounty campaigns. They don't care about learning or sharing their knowledge with others (if they have any).
What's certain is that the account rank doesn't always reflect the real level of knowledge of the account's owner.
2398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Rollers on: April 15, 2022, 10:23:26 PM
To be honest, I've never seen such high bets before! The highest bets I've seen were of the order of ~$10k. Maybe because I don't focus too much on the bets tab and don't spend much time following the most recent or highest bets.
Most members are saying that he must be a rich guy and making such high bets is normal! but C'mon.. we are talking about losing about 60 btc (~3 million dollars) in three consecutive rolls in matter of few seconds. This isn't a small amount you can afford to lose even if you are a billionaire.
2399  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which would be better ? on: April 15, 2022, 09:27:32 PM
Sports betting is good for user that has a advanced knowledge on sports analysis while it is a total disaster for newbie that don't watch sports that he is betting. On the other hand, Casino luck based game is good for newbie because most of the games are no brainers and have a 50/50 chance to win while advance player will not risk playing on it due to the probability is not in there favor because of house edge.
I couldn't agree more! No game type is more profitable than the other (gambling is all about luck and odds). So, to know which is the best game type, don't look for which one is more profitable (because it doesn't exist) rather look for which one is more suitable for you and for your skills.

Dont chase too much profit in gambling and I think sports betting is enough to bet in a day and wait for another a result and then bet again, you have enough time to check the player's background and that could possibly have a chance you to win
The only problem here is that on sports betting the odds are always too low. So to make a good profit you either have to bet on multiple events which will exponentially lower your chance of winning or you will have to make a huge bet on a single event which is too risky.

Is it ok to steal from a thief?!.. I believe we all agree that it's not.
The same applies here, this is not your money and the right thing to do is to send it back.
Moreover, you have no proof that this person is actually a scammer or was planning to scam you aside from your assumptions.
The only case, in my opinion, where it would be ok to keep that money is if that person scammed you before and you outsmarted him to get your money back.
