261  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet $15,000 confiscated due to US Citizenship on: September 24, 2020, 11:59:58 PM
i'ts not illegal, and i wasn't on US soil.  I travel abroad because this is mainly how I seem to make money.  Been playing poker a long time, we all had to leave for Mexico, I've beena round the block.  It's not illegal.  And I wasn't in the US.
262  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet $15,000 confiscated due to US Citizenship on: September 24, 2020, 10:04:32 PM
The physical location nonsense is quite unusual for gambling sites, isn't it? Typically TOS says something about being a citizen or a resident of a certain country. There is no plausible way to enforce it (KYC can't prove your physical location) so it's pretty much like it's deliberately added to screw gamblers over.

this is exactly it.  If you lose, they won't pay you back.  If you win, they dont' mind paying you because you'll deposit again.  But when you start winning big and show no signs of losing, they try and find a loophole to take the money, in this case beating up on US citizens. 

I need some help in solving this.  I've posted to a few gambling complaint boards and forum threads.  I'm digging for any mexican documents but generally I don't receive mail here but I just need to show them I wasn't on US soil so I can get paid and never go there again.  Then I'm getting a permanent residence outside of the US so that I can never have to deal with this type of stuff again, taking the trips is one thing but they don't even want you to have a residence in the US it seems like. 

I was planning on using the funds to get into crypto trading and it's the same crap with them (but obviously not nearly as shady).

yeah but I use VPN and VPS to connect to gambling sites since the legalities are up in the air, so IP's are probably a mess.
264  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet $15,000 confiscated due to US Citizenship on: September 24, 2020, 08:46:50 PM
For the most part in mexico the virus restrictions are way more laxed and it's just way more chill here.  Obviously it's Mexico still and an entirely different terrain but I'm able to play online poker and places like GG and party poker and bet, and just get away.

I stupidly provided the past due utility bill from my United States address since I haven't been paying it for the last 3-6 months after I got up to travel. 

I definitely feel I'm entitled to the winnings if they're indeed a legit book wanting to pay their customers.  I obviously won't be back but to me, it would be a lot of money that I need at this point in my life.  They obviously didn't want my action or they wouldn't have done this.

If there's any ideas how to fix it and prove I've been in Mexico let me know.  I'm getting my landlord to write them a note today and seeing if they can provide me with a utility bill and see if I can find any old mail that was sent here. 

I won the money gambling, not doing any shady stuff.  They have to recognize that I wasn't even on US soil they're trying to close the case since I provided the wrong document.
265  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet $15,000 confiscated due to US Citizenship on: September 24, 2020, 08:24:40 PM
I've been in Mexico, I don't gamble inside the US as I know it's not allowed.

I provided my internet disconnection bill from like 2 months ago as my utility bill, not knowing that it would cause them to think I'm in the USA.

So I should be able to access the account and not have the bets be voided if I've been in Mexico even if I'm a US citizen.  Anyways I"ll try and keep dealing with htis, I need it resolved.  thanks

I've never logged in from US, that's why I stay down in Mexico since I lost my job during the pandemic.  I can prove it- anyways I will try and take this up with them, maybe i went overboard but the reaction from me is strong especially since I'm not even on US soil (it's crazy up there anyways with the virus stuff). Embarrassed

@cloudbet
If you put that in your terms and conditions that players from certain countries are not welcome, why can they register via their IP address? A bit of good software and structure should easily ensure that you exclude those countries when visiting the site. This seems like an easy way to deceive people. They are allowed to create an account and deposit money, but if they want to pay out, you will check where they come from. That is not true. Why not an IP filter? I think this is really ridiculous for words how you deal with this customer now. Accept deposits, but you cannot withdraw. Then you have to be so professional and honest and make sure that people from the excluded countries do not even have access to the site. You use the claim of wrong land only when it suits you.

Maybe exfes should have know about his restricted country, but Cloudbet should have used more advanced technology and now it looks like they only want to use their tac when it is in their advantage. If somebody would have lost 100k, I am sure they would not void all the bets. I support exfes in this case.

I am so appreciative of any support from the community I get, and it just makes me feel not alone.  I will definitely try and find some way to give back to the community should this get resolved (in my favor).  It's not fair and extremely shady practice.

What happened:: Cloudbet confiscated 65 bitcoin cash in my account after requesting a withdrawal and froze/locked the account due to providing documents from USA country.
  I won the funds making sports bets and they say the bets are voided due to US citizenship.

PM/Chat Logs: Dear efxes,

Thank you for contacting Cloudbet support.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about this matter and the inconvenience that it's brought but we're merely abiding by the Terms & Conditions that have been put in place for each and every player who joins in on the Cloudbet experience to adhere to.

Your account's access was immediately blocked as part of the verification process and since your documentation proves that you're a resident in the US, we cannot grant you the access once again. Please note that the funds have been frozen and as you are the sole person with access to your account, they shall remain as such.

Should you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Stefano
Cloudbet Support Team Leader


Additional Notes: Please return the funds.  I need them to start my life again, I was counting on them.  I've since went into a downward spiral, am extremely distraught about all of this.  Never had this much taken, though I've been scammed before.

EDIT UPDATE OCTOBER 8, 2020

Hey guys I just summed up the story quite well on twoplustwo and SBRforum.  [b]Here's a link to the article on cloudbetscamsDOTCOM's site:[/b] https://cloudbetscams.com/the-entire-efxes-15000-story-as-it-happened-cloudbet-scamming-again/


And here is the article explaining the entire story from first deposit of the week long run to the last 5 deposits in the same day, that I cashed out slightly less than and are owed to me and I won't accept anything less than the balance minus the negative balance and it needs to be done now.  to have this drag on while BTC is rising is criminal.  Here is the story:

I appreciate you and appreciate this feedback. I've posted about this on so many darn sites, it's hard to keep up with the entirety of the story. I need to sum it up in an article, and i will do that but since I really value SBRForum and I am legit an OG here I've been here forever and I love the place and have always loved the people we love to gamble we love to bet and talk sports. Let me go ahead and share with you every minor step of the way.


I deposited $1,300 to this site on September 17, 2020. A 1 BCH deposit, a 2 BCH deposit, and a 3 BCH deposit

1.25BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/bc45fb9115e5ecbed7b7dad9e451c17199af77fc4c9f7f2271dca4184b3c6d48
2BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/85681098d5a25c32d13c51594b16be6c7eb5719f75778fed1fefc760583f4f03
3BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/851d956cf13da2de7cf09a1394bcaf7508a710344ff678329f51768902280147

I then requested a 6.7 BCH cashout
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/cf139d036a7b561e940ccf9e0e2419a70838805b302771192100e49070c04d8b

and a 17.7 BCH cashout
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/b1e4b40416eb4f471ed66ee7c5fd5679cee39f38b7240660ad5e0db6bd854528


From then, I started depositing back BCH, withdrawing out BCH, and continuing a run up to the moon.

At some point I went on tilt, withdrew everything, transferred it back into BTC, and deposited back some into Nitrogen Sports and some into Cloudbet. In Cloudbet, there was a mis-grade on a BTC bet. I had about $30,000 in Cloudbet, like 3 BTC. The mis-grade was for .26. I continued betting and lost some, and cashed out 2.6 BTC.

I didn't realize the mis-grade was Benoit Paire retiring in the 2nd set was a push instead of a loss. I thought tennis is graded differently in different places so I legit thought it was normal. So I cashed out the BTC after some other bets, total of maybe 2.6 or more. I then turned it back into BCH as you can see me receiving it here:

124 BCH received from transferring back from bitcoin
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/cfafbb8455234532e8a25dd849d26b4755ab7c5e87e6acc0e3552e26b870ce2d

I then deposit back into my account the BCH in one day, adding on and adding on and adding on to my BCH balance (not because I was losing the entire balance I was just adding on to bets that day, all in less than 8 hours I was just adding onto my balance).

Those final deposits the final day can be found here:

24 BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/0aa77c3a5bc46f9dcd68f5cc5a8b3bc0022a489e6cb52169ec2f068d6200ac5c

20 BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/4a38b8c78869faac477e7599e3203c35aeb45df952bc47d0913668434f432a83

16 BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/2e7d94c62df064ca773b1d5f070bd66fa9f8e6dd43ecc3561f8eb8f3b9a054b1

3 BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/acd56954dbd14b667ee8ee75c4ea15cf2657af95c700fcd458d5bace3f63f8aa

11 BCH
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/b18dc22fcc787e1bbcc36d9137b4debbdb8e923dcf52dcce9bb10eee1f5763d3



So I deposit 74 BCH since my last cashout maybe something like that. Not sure how that went down but I may have deposited more since my last cashout but THAT DAY I deposited 74 BCH. I went to withdraw 67 BCH just a few hours later, and I noticed there was a negative balance in the BTC. I went to withdraw the 67 BCH remaining in the account looking at the negative -.26 btc balance I figured they'd just take it out of the BCH balance because it was their error they mis-graded the Benoit Paire match after all with the retire in the 2nd set.

Then I receive this:

Then I send in a ton of documents, using my USA permanent residency I sent in an expired internet bill since I haven't been back there in months and have been in Mexico is the story. Regardless, I deposited 74 BCH and they think I was stealing because of their stupid BTC error, I even deposited $20,000 after they mis-graded the wager, what the heck is wrong with them? Then they sent me this:

I contacted Cloudbet account on Bitcointalk where they have prominent marketing in the bitcoin space where they tend to gain a lot of credibility so they can steal bitcoin and other crypto from the community countless times over. Here's what Cloudbet had to say on bitcointalk personal message:

Hello there, efxes,

I'm sorry to hear, that you've been having some difficulties with your account.

I have followed up on the matter with the Sports and Player Safety team now, and I can provide you with accurate information now.

The relevant team confirm, that the negative balance on your account was due to some bets that were graded as pushed incorrectly although they should have been settled as losses.

Once the bets were graded, you have withdrawn the funds that were incorrectly credited to you, thus the balance became negative as soon as these bets have been regraded accordingly.

Regardless of the negative BTC balance, you continued playing on our website using BCH, without informing our support team or crediting the funds back to your account, thus documentation was requested to verify the account.

Our Player Safety team confirmed, that they have verified your account and emailed you accordingly now, but I'm afraid as you have breached our Terms & Conditions by registering from a prohibited jurisdiction, you will not be able to continue playing on the site in the future.

In this particular email, you are stating that you've also had an account created before you started using this specific account, which means you have breached not one, but two of our terms, thus your account must remain closed, unfortunately.

Thanks for your understanding.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Best regards,
Team Cloudbet




So there you have it. As for the other account it's not true. They love to pull that card. I said I might have had an account a few years ago trying out the site but I couldn't remember the email.

They just want to steal the money.

Again this article can be found here:
https://cloudbetscams.com/the-entire-efxes-15000-story-as-it-happened-cloudbet-scamming-again/

UPDATE OCTOBER 10, 2020
Confession:
OK guys, this is me coming clean.  I'm an honest person and this whole case and the money lost has been eating me up inside.  I haven't been honest about multiple things so it's time to come clean.  I don't agree with freerolling a winning account's last deposits, and as a human being I can justify so many things and rationalize so many things in my head.  But I can't stay in a lie, I am a free spirited musician and enjoy just living a peaceful life.  So I have to confess multiple things to you guys, and I wish I did this from the start- I was desperate to get my money back and didn't know if I could get it back any other way.  Money doesn't come easy to me.


1.  i have never been to Mexico in my life.  I have been playing out of San Francisco area the whole time through VPN.
2.  I'm a well-known poker player in the bitcoin community that goes by tennisCHAMP or tennis known as an all out degen.  Used to be dice, but for the longest time it's been sports.  I quit casino gambling a long time ago and I figured out how to pretty consistently win at tennis betting at the higher levels like ATP and WTA and Grand Slam.  I've won SWC Poker BigBTC and streaming challenges for thousands in bitcoin , and I've been into bitcoin more than anything ever since I arrived there.  I used to vlog a bit and I was driving full time Uber for years here in SF.  $15,000 is a fortune to me and it scares me how much I was willing to lie about in order to get paid (even if I feel it's rightly mine, lying just isn't me and I couldn't really keep going with this without unravelling).

3.  I had an account a couple years ago on Cloudbet and they banned me for being a USA IP with no money in the account one day they just said we don't accept you, so I started VPN'ing in after a couple years off the site.  I had lost so many bitcoins it was unbelievable. 

4.  I sent in real documents from USA, thinking they'd just give me my money back and ban me from the site.  That was not the case, so I started panicking and sent them in the fake note and stuff about Mexico.  This really crossed my threshold for how far I was willing to go and I lost it after I sent in the utility bill with the changed address- I don't like dealing with fake documents and doing this stuff. 


5.  The reality is that as I mentioned, I have been a tennis teacher and an Uber driver and a starving musician for years.  A year and a half ago my Nissan Leaf got hit and I got an insurance check for $8,000 which I ran up to $150,000 in bitcoin on Nitrogen Sports within a few days betting tennis.  I bet like $5,000 on Fabio Fognini to beat Nadal in the semi's of Monte Carlo and he hit straight sets and moneyline and I won like $75,000.. Nitrogen Sports has since severely limited my 2001 account (one of the first to register to Nitrogen Sports through Bitcointalk).  I won and lost all that money within only 3 days, never even really cashing out to USD and a week later that money would have been worth $450,000.  I've not had a day go by where I don't think about the money I missed out on every hour, especially being so job skill-less and only really having played poker and bet sports as a means of possibly some day making good money (though I do make websites and am getting better at that).  When I just ran up $1,300 into $40,000 in a week at Cloudbet, constantly withdrawing in order to secure all the funds and re-depositing, I thought I'd never look back again.  I was doing quite well managing but when I had the $15,000 stolen from Cloudbet, I went on tilt and lost the remaining $15,000 and am now back to square one as always have been my entire 34 years of existence.

6.  I am cloudbetscamsDOTCOM on bitcointalk and the person who put up cloudbetscams.com after being advised by people who dealt with the 330btc scam case from Cloudbet and other people in the poker community who said my only real recourse is to go out Cloudbet from all angles in order to hope to get their attention and get paid.  The more shady stuff I uncovered, the more enraged I got and I really want people to know not to deposit to this site because of these things.  I don't know what's going to happen with the site but I need to come completely clean.





Now:
Cloudbet, I will give you permission to post everything you want about me.  I am well known as 'tennis' from SWC Poker and in the bitcoin community.  Some people will recognize me if they are OG poker players.  So I'm not really fearing anything.  I feel awful about lying, not to you guys but to myself (and also to you guys).  So I'm coming clean mostly because I live such a clean life free of doing bad stuff, I have so many interests and hobbies, degenerate sports betting is jsut one of them.  Though I'm becoming massively sharp at betting tennis I will admit- every other sport I lose loads at.  And I don't really even beat poker any more, though I do have an occasional God run on stream with people cheering me on at SWC poker.

Cloudbet:  feel free to post the information you need to the public about my USA IP's, as I admit I have never even been to Mexico in my life.  I was born in Brazil and it's always been a dream to get back there, but I haven't done much traveling except for jazz band tours and stuff all over Europe having played with BB King and stuff in Switzerland in a fluke but was so fun, I'm a professional saxophonist and beat maker. 

You can post the transaction histories to clear that up, Idunno about posting my home IP but you can feel free to post the general locations all that to show that i was in the USA.



Beyond that, I still feel that I should be paid.  I hope I am not upsetting people and I should have been forthright from the start.  Money can truly bring out the worst in people, and it did in me.  I wanted to say anything just to get paid because I thought I was justified.  I felt like the angles and laws surrounding them preying on me for the TOS was not fair.  Waiting for me to deposit a large sum, I was obviously trying to leave a dent in their book- so they played the we can actually legally steal this money back. 

But this is about the confession and the go ahead to release all the information.  Like I said, I used to vlog as 'tennis' in the bitcoin community documenting my uber driving and saxophone playing and music making.  Only a few people saw those but in general i'm not scared of a little fame or notoriety.  I still feel I'm owed the deposits on the account and I hope that the community will agree with me on that.  It's not fair to freeroll USA players so in my mind I justified lying to everyone, even if not so well on purpose, about being in "mexico" and stuff. 


I'm here to answer any questions all week now that I'm being honest.  The monkey is off my back. 

I apologize to everyone.  To SBR, to Twoplustwo, to Bitcointalk.  It was not right for me to say wahtever i needed to say in order to try and get the money back.  I still feel that I should be owed every penny.  It's not fair.



I'm here to answer any and all questions you have and giving Cloudbet the go ahead to release whatever they need to the public about why I shouldn't be due my deposits back.  I still feel that I am owed them.
268  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: September 24, 2020, 05:20:05 PM
The total cashout was 65 bitcoin cash about.  Which is about $14,000.  The total bitcoin misgrade was about $2,800.  So I had well enough to cover it.  
If that's the case then they should at least return some of it back(imo). You can also start a thread in the Scam Accusation section (use this format) to see what the others think about your case.


OK i'm looking into that and will make a thread.  I need the funds so bad, you have no idea... things aren't easy right now.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277995.new#new

if anyone wants to support the thread i'd appreciate it.  I just want the funds and never go to the site again.  It's not fair.  Especially if I rent places in Mexico just to be able to not have to deal with this.
269  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet - Unable to login after random asking of KYC on: September 24, 2020, 05:13:35 PM
yep same thing happened to me, they are confiscating $15,000 of mine due to saying I'm a US citizen.  Even if I'm wagering in Mexico .  This makes no sense and is such an awful and shady loophole.  Can anyone help
270  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: September 24, 2020, 04:32:06 PM
In response to above post:

I was betting with bitcoin cash for the entire time.  There was a brief moment that I bet with bitcoin, but I went back to bitcoin cash.  After I had gone back to bitcoin cash, apparently when I went to withdraw I noticed the bitcoin balance was negative.  I figured they would take out the bitcoin cash to make up for the bitcoin misgrade.

The total cashout was 65 bitcoin cash about.  Which is about $14,000.  The total bitcoin misgrade was about $2,800.  So I had well enough to cover it. 


On top of this, they are now saying it's nothing to do with the misgrade but it's because I provided verification documents from a US citizen.  And that the decision is final that they are voiding all the bets because of this.  This is unacceptable.  They also said that I am welcome back if I am not on US soil, but I haven't been on US soil this whole time, and the verification documents I provided were playing it safe because I do not like to provide personal documents. 

Cloudbet needs to make this right as I have filed complaints with all the major boards.  This is not fair to have this loophole to just confiscate winnings and not pay out any losses that may have been incurred on the flip side.

Yes I had been using VPN's and VPS.  I wasn't on US soil.
271  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: September 24, 2020, 03:46:03 PM
Hello there, efxes,

Thank you for reaching out to our Support team.

I completely understand your frustration, but please note; the account was not closed due to the negative BTC balance on your account, but because you have violated our Terms & Conditions by betting from a prohibited jurisdiction.

In such cases, the standard procedure is to withdraw the deposited amount and permanently close the account, however, as you have withdrawn more than you have deposited, there is no remaining balance to withdraw.

As mentioned in the previous email, you have breached the following terms of Cloudbet, thus the account is to remain blocked with no further actions to be taken;

7.1.3. You agree that at all times when using the Website, including making requests for withdrawal or transfers of funds, you are not physically located in any of the following countries:

the United States of America and its territories;
United Kingdom;
Hong Kong;
Singapore;
We greatly appreciate your understanding.

Please consider this email as our final communication on the matter.

Should you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Molly
Senior Customer Support Representative




So in the case that I provided USA documents you would always refund the money lost as well, right?  This doesn't just end with you saying this is the final communication and we're taking $15,000.  It's supposed to be with you rewarding me the funds in the account and I will never bet there again because it's shady practice and my money is better spent elsewhere. 
272  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: September 24, 2020, 03:38:48 PM

Dear @efxes; Opening an account from a prohibited jurisdiction is in violation of Cloudbet's Terms & Conditions, thus the account has been permanently closed. Bets that have been placed which otherwise would not have been accepted would, under normal circumstances be void and funds deposited returned. In your case, you have withdrawn far more than originally deposited so the remaining funds are not due to you.

I've followed up on this with our Support team, I can see that the final decision has been made and communicated to you explaining in detail the reason why, therefore, no further action will be taken on the matter.

I trust this meets your understanding.


I provided documents from someone from the USA, that doesn't mean it was bet while in USA.

Also, this isn't grounds for confiscating the funds of $15,000.  This makes zero sense.  You are reaching for any and all reasons just to take the money because you aren't happy losing it.  It's a lot of money for anyone to lose, and you don't want to be that losing party.  I've filed complaints with the gambling boards.  Being a citizen of USA doesn't make it right to take the money. 

It's $15,000 and it's a lot.  You need to make it right.  It's not going to just end like that.  It's not an amount I can just write off because it was rightfully earned through risky wagers.

I also received this message:  btw, yeah I'd really LOVE to come back to your site after you steal $15,000 from me that I earned fair and square after making tons and tons of risky wagers on huge underdogs.

my response...

There are funds in the account that are mine.  I'm bringing up the information with all of the relevant authorities like AskGamblers and other fraud sites.

This is not fair to take the money that was rightly earned by my risk using my money.  

I'm making a complaint on AskGamblers and writing on the forums on bitcointalk and reddit.  This is not fair to me.  I rightly earned the money, risked my money, I deposited a lot of money.  Actually I've deposited much more than I've won.  

You can't just take the money because there was a negative bitcoin balance from a misgrade.  I had no idea about that.  I had BCH and I didn't know to look at the bitcoin balance while betting in BCH.  I'm bringing this up with complaint forum, you need to make this right.

I'm also not located in the USA, I bet only when traveling abroad and located in legal jurisdictions.  You need to make this right.  This is not acceptable to just confiscate the winnings because of a misgrade.  I don't know to look at all of the balances.




___________________________

I obviously won't be coming back or opening an account but I need the funds in the account because those were calculated risks I took and was relying on that money.  I used my last unemployment check and deposited it all to cloudbet.  I need someone's help here.

Note:  I will also add that on cloudbet, hidden are the balances of all the crypto separate that you are betting with.  I hadn't noticed the BTC balance had been negative until way later when I went to withdraw.  I had already made a sizeable BCH deposit and was betting there in BCH.  You don't notice the various balances until you go to the cashier to withdraw.  They are all separate balances.

Hello there, efxes,

I'm sorry to hear, that you've been having some difficulties with your account.

I have followed up on the matter with the Sports and Player Safety team now, and I can provide you with accurate information now.

The relevant team confirm, that the negative balance on your account was due to some bets that were graded as pushed incorrectly although they should have been settled as losses.

Once the bets were graded, you have withdrawn the funds that were incorrectly credited to you, thus the balance became negative as soon as these bets have been regraded accordingly.

Regardless of the negative BTC balance, you continued playing on our website using BCH, without informing our support team or crediting the funds back to your account, thus documentation was requested to verify the account.

Our Player Safety team confirmed, that they have verified your account and emailed you accordingly now, but I'm afraid as you have breached our Terms & Conditions by registering from a prohibited jurisdiction, you will not be able to continue playing on the site in the future.

In this particular email, you are stating that you've also had an account created before you started using this specific account, which means you have breached not one, but two of our terms, thus your account must remain closed, unfortunately.

Thanks for your understanding.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Best regards,
Team Cloudbet




______________________________________

I just received this message from cloudbet and now I'm understanding what is going on but it is incorrect.

I didn't notice the incorrect balance until after I had gone to withdraw BCH.  I had no idea there was even a negative balance, I just had looked at my balances.  I wasn't trying to evade a negative balance, I was actually betting in BCH the whole time, I randomly deposited bitcoin and was betting there, and then went back to BCH when that didn't go as well.  There was a misgrade and it went negative AFTER I had withdrawn the rest of the bitcoin and converted back to BCH.  I didn't know about the misgrade, I thought everything was right.

Besides that, I didn't have a previous account to my knowledge.  Like I said, I don't remember my previous account, and I don't have another account on your site.  You need to be aware of that. 

There is 64 BCH that I have locked in your site and you can't just take that BCH.  I have filed a complaint on AskGamblers.  You can't just take my money because you made a misgrade and I didn't notice the misgrade. 

Can someone please come to my defense here?  In regards to the accounts, I have no recollection of any of my previous accounts though I admitted I may have signed up before at some point.

You can't just steal 64BCH and be a legit book.

Thank you, I hate to lay out the numbers but we're talking 64 bitcoin cash BCH locked up with no response on why it's locked and these things.  I was betting on random tennis matches watching the streams, it's a great feature. 

This is a lot to me, I own nothing.  I will be more patient.  Thank you for your support guys.  It's a great site.
276  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: September 23, 2020, 07:44:08 PM


you are appreciated.  yes I already did that.  Now I guess I have to just wait.  Feeling helpless, the funds would change my life, whether I receive it or not. 

Appreciate anything cloudbet can do to get me the funds won from sportsbetting.  It hardly puts a dent into the BTC i've lost over the years, finally getting a little better at calling the bets and funds locked.  Ugh.


Really hoping they're just holding it for "safe keeping" so i don't go and blow it like always..  sigh.

Hello, my account was just locked and I really need the funds.  I'm really worried, lol.  There was a misgrade in my bitcoin balance and it was negative and my bitcoin cash balance well covered it, I am waiting on a sizeable bitcoin cash withdrawal and they froze and locked me out of the account and asked for my identifying documents which I sent to them.

I'm waiting and perplexed at what is going on.  They can just take the misgrade from my bitcoin cash balance and pay me what is owed from sports betting, that's not a problem.  I've lost a lot over the years to the site and the one small run I go on it looks like something fishy is going on.

Help please, anyone.  What can I do?  I've heard this will make them make me wait months or something.

Very confused, will I see the money?  I'm just an unemployed musician and already received my last unemployment check.  Scared...

Hello!  This is efxes@producehits.com

I just got frozen out of the account and asked to send in documents:  I did. 


There was a mis-grade on the account and it said negative balance on the bitcoin balance but I had since switched to bitcoin cash.  I requested a couple withdrawals after going on a horrible run and cloudbet froze the account. 

_________________________________________________


I just sent in all my verifying documents.  I could really really use the funds and I really like the site.  I've lost a lot of money to you guys, like a lot of BTC over the years, I just forget what my old logins are.  and I mean a LOT of bitcoin lol.  But i still keep coming back.

If there's any possible chance you can expedite the frozen account and pay it out, I have sent back in the documents requested (to my dismay, I hate it because people already have my documents from so many bitcoin transactions). 

IF there's anything you can do to expedite this I'd appreciate it so so much.  I don't think I've done anything wrong, I just bet on live matches and lose tons of bitcoin lol.  A run happens occasionally....

Feel free to take from the bitcoin cash balance whatever is owed from the bitcoin misgrade and pay out the rest to the requested withdrawals.  I'm now frozen out of hte account.

If anyone has any insight on this situation please let me know.  I literally am a starving, unemployed musician during covid irresponsibly gambling and putting funds onto crypto gambling sites- obviously a sucker waiting to get taken but I'd really appreciate if cloudbet came through this time with the sports bets I won and wagered on.

I have lost over the past 7 years probably well over 100 bitcoins from poker winnings and stuff on the site.  I'd appreciate anything you can do.
