I still think Manchester City will win the Premier League again this season but Liverpool will suffer massively without Mane. What would be the odds on Liverpool not making the top 4 and finishing in a Europa League spot?
I would say that maybe they are bigger than it seems at first glance. Klopp has already had a serious slump after a successful season in Liverpool and Dortmund also. now without a key player with a somewhat saturated team, it is quite possible that they lose their intensity.
I would not be surprised if what you say turns out true because when the impact of not having Mane in the squad hits home, Klopp will have to improvise. Nunez has potential to be a great player in his own right but he plays a completely different brand of football to Mane and is the wrong choice to buy in order to replace Mane.

Nunez seems to be an out-and-out goal scorer whereas Mane is a play maker and less prolific goal scorer.

With all that, they always play the same even after so many years. slightly better managers will find a way to play against them. also the "worse half" of the big six Arsenal, Totham, and Man United are seriously improving and there will be no guaranteed points like before.
It would be an interesting statistic to read about Liverpool results against the other big 5 teams under Klopp but they are improving and tis will make it an interesting season.

I understand your views but in order for any scam allegation to be taken seriously there has to be some form of evidence presented, otherwise there is no way of knowing what took place the parties and no way of knowing if one scammed the other.

As for an account that has been registered since 2020, yes one would expect him to have seen all the warnings and flags but he still ended up claiming he was scammed by the 1xbit scammers. It can happen, people can sometimes lower their guard and in the process make errors leading to financial loss.

If it was a complain about any other casino, i would have also liked to witness the the evidences but when you see anyone complain about the 1xbit, its obvious that he / she is speaking the truth and there is no need for evidence.

By the way, "CloudAccountEU" is on this forum from 2020, he could not see that 1xbit is scam  Huh

That is your prerogative and to be honest I can somewhat understand your stance because you are the victim and if it is as simple as you depositing money then wagering some of it and then not being allowed to withdraw your own remaining deposited funds, then surely you have aright to be aggrieved.

I find it strange that in one of the screenshots they stated your account was open and deposits restored. To me that means they are allowing you deposit (ie send as much funds as you want) but they will not let you withdraw any winnings or your own deposits.

I would like to know what happens in the coming days regarding this, hopefully you can make public their communications when you receive it.

I am sorry but I will give any evidence to 1xbit representative if he at least reply to my concern. Anyway, I can post screenshots of my talking with security team and support. This is actually insane. I have no idea what did I do wrong. Playing casino and some bets, even losing some money and still can't withdraw anything of my money. On trustpilot they write they never take players deposits, always refund, actually will put screenshot of this review of some user at trust pilot and their reply:

https://www.trustpilot.com/users/62bd4f5896481900130b6acc

https://i.imgur.com/R2sL8Cg.png

My deposit was $5000 and no withdrawals, at the moment of being logged out I had $3990 at my account. How in hell they don't want to permiss me to withdraw my own money is beyond me.

I wish some 1xbet representative reply to me soon here. My talkings with them:

I too think that playing with some "fake money" in an app and playing in demo mode on slots are very similar things, only playing slots in demo mode is much more enjoyable because contemporary slots are very professionally designed to provide entertainment, and I bet no "Fake money gambling app" can give you a similar experience.

As of sports betting apps, idk, can it be interesting at all?
Going by what you said, if playing in demo-mode in any casino or gaming website and playing with fake money are similar then in your opinion how do you address the question asked by the OP? Regardless of using slots or not and achieving maximum entertainment or not, what would your opinion be?

What is your opinion on Fake money gambling apps, do you recognize the potential I think they have to assist in reducing the number of gamblers who loose real money?

If you would like your post to be taken seriously by those that are trying to limit the damage created by the 1xbit scammers, would you be kind enough to post evidence?

Can you post screenshots of your account page or any blockchain transactions to prove you sent funds to them or anything to show you even have an account with them?

I have just read this thread and your profile. Since you now have negative trust from multiple users the question arises: will you edit the title thread for accuracy sake to add the names of all members that left negative feedback for you?

Hello, I am offering a service where I am hiring people and first of all people are calling me out for being a scammer with absolutely no evidence or idea of what I am even offering as I am providing the details of the task to only people interested in doing the task/assignment. They have no idea what the service even entails or what I am even offering, but they somehow seem to have come to the conclusion that I’m a scammer and scamming people. These are completely fake accusations with no basis for the claims.

There is a trusted user, yahoo62278, who has left me negative feedback with these fake accusations on my profile and that will affect my business I do on this forum in the future. His judgement, analyzation, and review of scammers is way off and incorrect as I am not scamming anyone and I am sure his judgements and accusations have been way off for other people as well. His feedback will affect the business I do on this forum, especially because he is a trusted member and it shows up very clear on my profile. There is absolutely zero evidence and they are baseless and incorrect claims.

$18,000 or $8000 or $800...

It is difficult to state what will happen and which circumstances will lead to someone hold or sell but what can be said is that there was and will always be panic buying and selling because of FUD. Whether stocks and shares, crypto or anything else in a free market, FUD does play a part.

Those that sell now to buy later do not always get what they want as it really works only when the selling price is high enough to entice a sale at a time when a price drop is expected. I would advise to not play that game as it can backfire spectacularly.

I am asking what will you sell to buy more bitcoin if this speculation ever happens or will you choose to  sell off all your bitcoin due to FUD.

I think I tagged their account earlier today after reading a request for flag against them. These types of scams show no sign of abating because there will always be gullible users that fall in to their traps.

Even if they catch a few victims a year they will be making some sort of income at the expense of others, that is why they keep on doing what they do.
3230  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAM EXCHANGE: Openchange (Openchange.cash) (PARTIALLY SOLVED) on: July 17, 2022, 11:37:22 PM
I could be wrong but to me it seems their justifications are pure nonsense which are designed to try to fool the user in to conceding 10% of their funds with a fear they could end up losing the other 90% if they contest what is going on.

I wonder what the "successful exchange" vs "we will return 90% to you but keep 10% for ourselves" ratio is for Open Change.



Yes you are pretty much spot on but there is confusion as to how they selected 10% as a figure they would confiscate in the event they believed they were dealing with stolen crypto.

Furthermore, there was no real meaningful justification given why they would return 90% of alleged stolen crypto however retain 10% for themselves. I mean, what could they say to justify it?
They justify it with the screenshot from a random internet webpage. This webpage (AMLBot) is neither an internationally (or nationally) recognized authority, nor is it working with one and it may not even be an actual business. Since even with access to a lot of resources (like what the FBI / CIA has access to), it's extremely hard to (1) tie a certain UTXO to a crime and (2) return the funds to the legitimate owner, all these classification attempts are subjective guesstimations at best and deliberate choices to defraud users, with large potential for corruption, at worst.
In the end, they are always used for evil: confiscating funds and keeping them for themselves; so it's a big elaborate thing to steal coins from users. There's no nice way to put it.
3231  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Duelbits Casino does not want to confirm my KYC - withdrawal not paid on: July 17, 2022, 11:31:29 PM
I'm a new user on this forum, and I'm not happy because my first post is in the topic Scam Accusations.
Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy your time here and when this issue is resolved you stay and continue to be a part of the community.

After six days of waiting, I saw no other option than to open a topic here. I think it is quite frivolous to keep the user on hold for six whole days, and not pay him his money.
I created an account on Duelbits, played the first bet which was a winner and tried to withdraw my money. After that they asked me about KYC. July 10, 2022.
Thank you for posting about this issue.

I am wearing a Duelbits signature therefore I have a moral obligation and ethical duty to take an interest in it, to understand what you claim has happened and to understand from their side what they claim has happened. There are several things that can be said...

The Duelbits forum representative has not been online since 1sy July 2022 therefore under usual circumstances one would have to wait for the representatives to post about it to hear both sides of the story, however, in this case your screenshots are sufficient enough to come to understand their side.

According to your screenshots, Duelbits are stating their compliance team is looking in to this. Granted, they might have some technical or administrative issues which they have not (or do not want to) elaborate on but is this an actual scam allegation at this stage?

I think you should have waited a little longer before claiming their delay in dealing with your particular case was a scam. Calling it a scam allegation at this stage seems premature to me.

Although I don't like to leave my documents on various sites, but I had no choice. I had it done within 15 minutes. Six days later, the money has still not been paid. It's $1275.
I have a golden rule, I will never send KYC to any website regardless of their reputation therefore I can understand your reluctance.

Whenever I asked them if KYC was confirmed, I would get the same generic answers from Live Support. They don't know anything, I need to be patient, they don't know when it will be finished, there is no ETA.

Given that Duelbits has a pretty good reputation on this forum, I think that their behavior like this is very frivolous and unacceptable. If there is no ETA for such things, they can drag this out for half a year.
Highly unlikely they will not complete verification within 6 months. Stay positive, hopefully they will have this sorted out within a couple of days.

I would like your help and advice, what to do in this case. Is there anyone here who can help me?
To me these are facts thus far as I have interpreted them:

You signed up to their website and won $1275 on your first bet then wanted to withdraw the winnings but were unable to. All this happened on 10th July 2022. For reasons not yet known they asked you to verify your account and you reluctantly sent KYC within 15 minutes of them asking. After that, you are on to nearly day 8 of you waiting for them to allow you to withdraw your $1275 winnings.

In your chat with Duelbits, they advised you to not contact them (as it was not going to expedite the process of you being contacted by their compliance team) and they stated there was no time-frame on how long the process could take and mentioned their verifications process was in line with legal requirements.

Did you ask Duelbits which legal requirements they were referring to?

Did you ask Duelbits what was it that triggered their request for the KYC?

We simply do know why they wanted extra verification for such a tiny amount as $1275 but since you have no previous history with them and you won on your first bet and maybe only bet, maybe they want to receive confirmation from their security team that:

- a vulnerability did not exist which may have been exploited in the game you won
- maybe your IP address what it triggered their security alert
- maybe the address you sent your crypto from alerted their security team

In my opinion, $1275 is such a tiny amount for a reputable gaming/gambling website they would never even dream of scamming anybody for such a miniscule amount therefore there is something else probably going on behind the scenes related to you and your win.

Others can express their views, some already have and I would like to too. For me, they have covered themselves for a maximum of 28 days (from 10th July 2022 onwards) by simply stating their compliance team will contact you regarding to completing their addition verification checks. If within 28 days if they do not get in contact with you either to state the verification is complete allowing you to withdraw $1275 or on the contrary state you failed the verification and you will not be allowed to withdraw the funds due to such and such issues, then by all means chase this by contacting their support team again and post full details here so forum members can see what is going on.

In my opinion if 8 days after sending KYC the verification process is not complete, it does not constitute a scam allegation regardless of the amount being discussed and regardless of the casino/gaming website brand being discussed.

I hope this gets resolved within the next couple of days for you and in your favour.

I would like your help and advice, what to do in this case. Is there anyone here who can help me?
You should try asking about you case in their official thread ( Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | Earn up to 50% rakeback | VIP |)as it might bring some extra attention to your case. Their account hasn't been online for 2 weeks now so it might take some time to get any reaction from them.

By the way, there is another relatively similar case going on at the moment and it seems like their verification can last for quite some time https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405780.0
Thank you. I was not aware of it, I will also look at that thread and post there when I have time.

Furthermore, there was no real meaningful justification given why they would return 90% of alleged stolen crypto however retain 10% for themselves. I mean, what could they say to justify it?

Did I understand this correctly? Some obscure cryptocurrency exchange gives itself the right to confiscate the funds from their customers based of an analysis of some self-proclaimed blockchain (anti)analysts who, incidentally, have absolutely no legal weight whatsoever? It is unacceptable for the exchange to make such a decision and, more importantly, to retain control over customer's assets.

The only thing I think should be done in this case is to flag the Openchange.cash exchange as malicious and warn any traders away from it.

3233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: July 17, 2022, 09:57:37 PM
If Manchester United are to surpass Manchester City or compete with them on equal terms there need to be specific sets of circumstances in place and in my opinion they have to include a general decline in Manchester City because of an ageing team not being replenished with a combination of new signings and youth players being introduced to the first team and Manchester United doing the exact opposite.

Guardiola and ten Hag both share a philosophy of playing non-long-ball football. The Ajax team ten Hag managed played some stunning football and fell marginally short of getting to a Champions League final but they dominated Dutch domestic football. If he can bring that style to Manchester United this season and the players buy in to the philosophy of their manager, they will be fighting for a runners-up spot with Liverpool.

I still think Manchester City will win the Premier League again this season but Liverpool will suffer massively without Mane. What would be the odds on Liverpool not making the top 4 and finishing in a Europa League spot?

Two successful pre-season games were won by Man United. Although it can't be the basis of saying Man United is good. But indeed I was a little surprised by the drastic change in the pattern of the game. Ten Hag gave a lot of instructions to play fast short flat passes. Rarely do they make a long pass of the upper ball. It's really nice to see a game like this. The philosophy of the ball is like Pep Guardiola. Maybe if they can continue like this I believe Man United can compete with Man City again.

If something so trivial such as the length of a post or something so unnecessary such as quoting a post already visible for full visibility made you LOL, then I am very happy for you.

Most of the post was related to replying to mv1986 who has made excellent contributions to this thread and I look forward to his replies to my comments.

Back on the issue at hand, especially this part:

- Does anybody know what the percentage of the Bitlucy company given to Royse777 was?
- Does anybody know if there was any paperwork signed between Royse777 and the Bitkucy CEO transferring that percentage over?
- Does anybody know the full name of the Bitlucy company with LLC, LTD etc?
- Does anybody know the current legal status of the company and the legal jurisdiction the company falls under?


LOL.

Quoting the full post for visibility.

Just so people can see that this is a clear example of what I mentioned in my previous post.

I think JollyGood has broken the record for the longest post my eyes have seen in all the time I've been on the forum. He has even beaten JJG.

I still find the whole situation strange because though it was about time a world cup took place in the Middle East (providing they had the infrastructure), the tournament will take place during the main seasons around the world.

Imagine what it will be like for players that have to give 100% for their clubs in their domestic league, then have to travel for the biggest footballing spectacle in the world, to acclimatise there in a country most players have never visited and then to actually participate in the tournament knowing there will be no rest after because they will return to their domestic leagues to carry on where they left off.

This will be one of the strangest football seasons on record....

Hope it yes, but anyway for me it is absolutely no sense to play a world cup in a country like Qatar. Players with most probability will be tired because they will come from their leagues and they won't give their better

performance (another mistake was to play this cup in winter). Anyway, it is better for him to have more entertainment and comfortable structure.
3236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread) on: July 17, 2022, 02:54:11 PM
How effective was Joshua really when he was going in with a scrap/brawl mindset? His win rate was excellent of course with only Ruiz and Usyk being his only defeats but in both he was outboxed. He won those so-called scraps and brawls, a prime example being parts of his fight against Parker which Joshua won on a points decision but they did nit endear him as a great fighter.

Joshua seemed to be in a scrap or brawl type of fight against Ruiz in the earlier rounds before he was knocked out therefore I doubt he will be able to bully Usyk in the ring simply because Usyk will not let him. I cannot see Joshua winning this rematch.

I know he left Joshua badly bruised in the fist fight therefore he probably does have the power to push for a knockout but which version of Joshua will be see in the ring in the rematch. The confused fighter that got destroyed by Ruiz or the patient jabbing fighter that won the Ruiz rematch? Let us not forget Joshua was comprehensively outboxed by Usyk in their fight too.
I'm hoping for neither. I want the old Joshua back that like to get into brawls. Think about the first Ruiz fight, Joshua went into that confident, got into a gun fight, and got clipped. However, he knocked Ruiz down before that exchange that hurt him. Ever since, he has just seemed a shadow of himself, and doesn't want to get in them risky, high reward sequences.

I'm not expecting Usyk to engage in them either, but if Joshua can turn up the pressure it'll be more entertaining for the fans at least. Otherwise, I literally see no other result other than A Usyk win, whether that's by a surprise knockout or the usual decision.


AJ has to go in for a scrap. If he just lazily walks into this without committing or hoping to win it miraculously on points I think a lot of people are going to lose interest in him.  He needs to change up his gameplan otherwise it's just going to be a repeat of the first fight. He needs to get the win for that Fury fight which will almost certainly happen if he gets the belts back. If not Fury will probably just fight Usyk but for some reason I really want to see him against AJ more.

In a news report it shows Qatar having made stunning base camps for the participating teams and for the match officials which would otherwise cost approximately £5000-£6000 per room per night.

3238  Economy / Reputation / Re: Royse777, Bitlucy and long story in brief on: July 17, 2022, 12:35:15 PM
JollyGood didn't claim that there was a physical dinner date. JollyGood asked me to provide the source that I based my comment on. I can't find some piece right now because I cross-read a couple of threads and I don't exactly recall what place it was. I do think thought that @igehhh was the first to claim it at least in this thread.
Yes I merely asked about a link to read for myself if a dinner with the CEO took place since that was quoted by members earlier.

On another note, there is a document circulating that really got me baffled. The user @teyttrs uploaded it after having an 11 day conversation with the mysterious CEO about getting paid, was suuuuper patient, and the last couple hundred lines ultimately proved what a scammer the unknown CEO is. Now the problem I have with this is: that user also was asked by others to calm down and there is no way people get scammed because "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395791.msg60055562#msg60055562" ("handled by Royse, regarding the discussion here about trust and so on...).
First of all thank you for the link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395791.msg60055562#msg60055562) because I was not really interested in that thread and probably never visited it until I clicked your provided link.

Secondly, the words written by the user in question with those overzealous and over-protective remarks towards Bitlucy and then including the comment that gave Bitlucy far more of a seal of approval than it deserved by mentioning (words to effect of) Royse777 would not manage a scam campaign. That part is hugely problematic because it in essence means three important things:

i) asking users to put their trust in a certain newly created website by sending funds to them on the basis a particular forum member is promoting them

ii) shutting down any form of dissent, concern or claim in earlier manifestations before they became widespread - again, on the basis a particular forum member is promoting a certain newly created website

iii) it allows the particular forum member to either buy time to try to fix any issues by liaising with the website (since their reputation is on the line if a scam takes place) or it allows that particular forum member to refuse to accept the red flags and with that ignorance fall deeper in to a bigger hole.

The unfortunate side-effect of both is that by not pulling the plug earlier and by not completely disassociating with the website at the first opportunity, that particular forum member has facilitated a mechanism where the number of victims could increase. This was one of the reasons why I stated in my feedback there was negligence on part of Royse777.

As I will mention below again, I have not read in full the 11 day conversation between the user in question with the Bitlucy CEO, I will try to read it to get an understanding.

The unknown CEO is such a scumbag, even so stupid to have such a conversation with some unknown dude from the Internet, that I can't believe 1) someone like that person to run an Online Casino without 2) getting detected by someone with Royse' experience. She knows how all this stuff works, promotional campaigns, requiring funds for escrow and so on and so forth. She should have puledl the trigger earlier and warn all the community she appreciates, and that appreciates her so much... It is a sad ending and when I see how this unknown CEO communicates, Royse, if it is really true, how did this CEO talk to you without you getting suspicious when this CEO talks that way to everyone in PM?
Maybe Royse777 was gullible. Maybe a combination of being gullible and greedy led to Royse777 getting in to this situation. Maybe something else.

There you go, I can't quote since the thread is locked:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395791.msg60052582#msg60052582

That file is removed in that post, but whoever wants to have a look at it can find it in this post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395791.msg60053921#msg60053921


No joke, I really took the time and read it completely... I had the choice between hitting the gym or waste some time and chill. When I found this document while searching for stuff in response to @JollyGood's post, I thought I'll give it a read.  
I hope to read it in full within 48 hours, the text in the lines I have read shows a very informal chat from a CEO who is conducting himself as a typical salesman rather than a professional individual but I need to read through it to understand what chat took place over the days they communicated.

I do not believe that Royse777 had any negligent intentions when associating with the BitLucy owner, so I have opposed the flag (it would be better warranted on BitLucy the owner himself for not having enough funds to run a sustainable financial operation).

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I should probably suppliment the fake investor warning sticky thread in scam accusations to include warnings against this type of scam involving casinos.
The flag was removed by the user that created it therefore regardless of support or opposition, it does not mean much now.

And this is where I also wonder whether Royse did any research at all regarding the required skillset, be it technical, social, financial, industry experience etc. This unknown CEO from Bitlucy really had no clue what's going on. Links pointing to Betcoin.ag, wagering requirements totally unclear, no idea what arbitrage bets look like (you can read from the document I suggested above, etc. If I were to start a casino (which I won't unless I would find myself in a circle of proven experts for some weird reason), I would do tons of research. It's kind of a given in that industry. Especially when you partner up and buy shares in the company as Royse publicly said:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395791.msg59956927#msg59956927

I mean, how does this all make sense? I know not everyone has partnered up with someone else and set up some contract or even a legal entity, but wouldn't you vest your partners beyond accepting fotos from Disney Land as proof of sufficient personal wealth in order to become the "biggest online Crypto casino and sportsbook on the planet." Quote was also from Royse, and I get all the enthusiasm when one is about to get something off the ground and is dreaming big, but come on...

I initially thought that Royse might have been scammed by a really, really clever person in a very sophisticated way. But after I read the document, and given that it came into existence through a chat with a person completely unknown to the CEO, neither "clever" nor "sophisticated" is likely to apply. Hence: gross negligence would be my judgment.

I stand by my word though that I would also support the possibility for Royse to get back on track. It is very true she doesn't owe any specific information to anyone, but that is her judgment as well. If she thinks that what she needs to protect from being known by others is more valuable, that is to be accepted. Other than that, I would still trust her as a campaign manager and even for some other things. But the harm has been done. When you drive too quickly, you get a red tag in a certain registry unless you have very, very good reason and can PROVE it! Other than that the red tag stands, and if you get caught again, things against you start to accelerate. Same speed but harsher penalty because there is this register that tells the driver to better not repeat what you have done wrong before. That is why I support JollyGood's judgment. Now someone might argue the registry doesn't apply because other drivers can't know whether the one in front of them has a big fat history with red tags.That is true, so we trust the police to do the right thing for us. But in this forum, there is no hidden police. It is the nature of forums like this that things are publicly discussed and publicly available when they involve public interest. If you ask me, the public interest is clearly given here, especially when people were still allowed to deposit while withdrawals weren't already functioning anymore. At let that is what I understand from the walls of text I read about the whole Bitlucy topic. Correct me if I am wrong, but deposits weren't stopped when withdrawals were already on ice. Big no-go!
I never knew about this post, I read what Royse777 wrote and once again thank you for the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395791.msg59956927#msg59956927

It was utter stupidity on part of Royse777 to post using words which were probably deliberately used in order to have dual meaning, such as Royse777 stating being "good friends with the CEO for over a year" as well as "hanging out regularly".

What does that mean to a layman when someone says they are "hanging out regularly" with each other and have "build up trust of each other over a year"?

Exactly who could be blamed for putting their trust in a trusted forum member after reading him or her vouching for a business they are part owner of without actually stating "trust me and take my word for it, this is no scam" but never uttering the words?

By simply using the reputation attached as to be taken as a seal of approval to those unfortunate to believe it, Royse777 is in this situation today. I would not surprised at all if using her own reputation was part of the leverage Royse777 employed in negotiations with the Bitlucy CEO to become part owner maybe with a promise of adding her name to the casino for the sake of showing it as legitimate and it being not-a-scam... but then again until or unless a full transcript of their chats is made public we do not know what prompted the Bitlucy CEO to not only employ Royse777 as a campaign manager but also to give a percentage of the company in lieu of being awarded the title of Co-Partner & Marketing Director

Who would not believe a campaign manager with green trust when they state they are part owner of a casino or when that same member effectively says "Hey, trust this website because I am staking my reputation on it after all I am part-owner and because the CEO and I have built up a massive amount of trust over a period of a year. For your information we are very close and we are hanging out regularly. On top that, between us we both understand the gambling industry inside out because we have phenomenal experience in this field and we shared a common interest in starting a casino therefore we simply decided because we are the best people who can create a new casino which will become the largest crypto casino/sportsbook ever, we will do it"

To answer the question: Me. I would not believe it.

As a continuation of the answer: Many people and many forum members will not believe it either.

As a further continuation of the answer, it is safe to say: some people and some forum members will believe it and the reason for that misguided belief would not be because a newbie account created 30 minutes ago was vouching for a newly created casino... on the contrary the reason why some people including forum members would believe it is because someone highly trusted and in a position of trust and in good standing with peers (operating an account with several years history) has basically stated they own part of the very same business they are vouching for.

Previous good character or previous good conduct or previous good standing along previous contributions cannot negate the utterly appalling decision making process taken by Royse777 related to Bitlucy, nor should the facts about the Royse777/Bitlucy relationship be watered down because there is no evidence Royse777 intended to scam from the beginning but there those that expressed opposing views and that is their right.

When it comes @JollyGood, I have no personal relationship with him, never had any transactions with him or anything like that. I just started following him at some point because I liked that he cracked down on scam after scam AND he put effort into it. Not just distributing red tags as is sometimes claimed here by some, but certainly not by many... In my opinion @JollyGood is a real asset to the community. It is good to know that there is someone who really puts puzzle pieces together when there is something suspicious going on. Hardly anyone (if anyone at all?) would take the time and put in the effort. And in all fairness: he might really be on the edge in some cases, I don't know, I haven't studied them all (haha), but has he given away some clearly wrong red tags? Like, plainly wrong and arbitrarily? I'd be very surprised.
We have had or almost had zero contact before corresponding in this thread. I cannot recall interacting with you but I enjoyed reading your posts for the quality and time taken to write them presenting them with links providing background information with evidence. You have also shown the correct attitude when standing up and taking a stand in what you believe in such as the high quality posts in this thread even in the face of opposing views.

It is slightly off-topic but to be fair my time for clamping down on scam after scam, almost day after day of doing it are behind me now though I do try to take an interest and post intermittently in the Reputation and Scam Accusation boards. Thankfully there are many forum members contributing positively in the Scam Accusations board on a regular basis and I am grateful to them.

Anyway, moving onwards and back to the issue on hand regarding this particular thread:

- Does anybody know what the percentage of the Bitlucy company given to Royse777 was?
- Does anybody know if there was any paperwork signed between Royse777 and the Bitkucy CEO transferring that percentage over?
- Does anybody know the full name of the Bitlucy company with LLC, LTD etc?
- Does anybody know the current legal status of the company and the legal jurisdiction the company falls under?

When you read that private conversation between the guy who got scammed and the "CEO", you'll clearly get my point. That is why I said I can't even believe for a second that Royse really thought it could work out with that dude. Then again, Royse might have been the passenger, also without a license. Somewhat in her defense I'd say. It also feels a bit like megalomania on Royse' part when she said it's going to be the biggest online casino on the planet. Well, on what evidence or substance was that based on? Did this CEO sign a message from a wallet with 10,000 Bitcoin?
Well if you are correct then what do you think drove Royse777 to get in to a partnership in what was a doomed relationship from the very beginning? I do agree with you, megalomania seems the correct word because the way Royse777 was posting about her relationship with the Bitlucy CEO and the part-ownership of Bitlucy shows telltale signs of it.

My opinion on the tiny bit that seems to have sparked the "attack between a few reputable members" which is "The proof of Royse's conversations with Lucy", in my humble opinion such proof has little to no value, at least, it shouldn't be the backbone of any conclusion someone arrives at.  Royse could easily fake a few conversations dating back to any date they chose, even the blockchain transactions could have been set up, there is no way in hell to know for sure if there was another person with the name of Lucy who is/was not actually Royse777.
I agree, the alleged proof does not bring closure in this situation at all.

What somewhat compounds the issue of the alleged conversations is what motives Royse777 had for releasing them to a select few as well as why that particular select few were chosen. The latter (if I recall correctly) was recently addressed by Royse777 in a semi-rant of a mostly incoherent post but the motives for wanting to share in the first place were never addressed. It remains unknown what Royse777 wanted to gain from it.

So that leaves us with only one option and that's what Royse claims, it's either you take Royse's for it or you don't, if you think Royse was Lucy all along and then a few "screenshots" would change your mind -- I think there is something seriously wrong with your judgment.
I agree.

Personally, I believe Royse is a genuine person, maybe she got a bit greedy and saw a "huge opportunity" which she didn't want to lose, which led her to ignore all the obvious red flags which then resulted in a loss for everyone who was involved, one might say that her judgment is not to be trusted and that would make sense, but again, I don't think she had any intention to cause damage.
I broadly agree because you have summed it up in an apt manner. I think greed played a huge part in the mindset of Royse777 in that period and I think the degree to which she leveraged her reputation as a campaign manager and trusted forum member in order to deepen the relationship with Bitlucy to become an unknown percentage owner of the company remains unknown.

I must add I am very disappointed in the way you get aggressive and post with a lot of frustration instead engaging with members (who agree or disagree with your version of events) in an acceptable manner. What did you achieve by alienating the FortuneJack representative to the degree they made their final comment on the subject matter?
I was frustrated because I have been a victim of theft. I am not disappointed in the way I reacted and I think it is normal, but that's not the end of it, and more is coming.
Can you elaborate on what is coming?

As for you not having regrets about your posting style and chosen words, I hoped you would have a different view retrospectively but I am not in your position and therefore cannot fully understand what you are going through. I do think posting with some control of frustration and anger will be better when engaging with members.

The sooner this gets resolved the better. If you think they were going to pay me my 100k win depending on how I react to their behaviour I think you're mistaken.
I made no such assumption but I do think engaging a general courteous manner with all parties including a reputable gambling/gaming website even if you make a scam allegation against them. I would say that the correct protocol would be to keep calm when engaging with members across the spectrum with differing views while presenting facts and evidence to back up your claim and standing your ground.

And though it would probably mean nothing in the context of this thread, as far my opinion is concerned I am 100% certain (on the basis of what I have read thus far) what is clear is that FortuneJack have not accepted any wrong doing on their part and they claim they operate within their Terms and Conditions.

If you on one hand are taunting them making it clear you do not want them to make any more comments then why are posting in the forum seeking support? The logical thing to have done would be for you to keep them in the conversation because ultimately they are the ones who could (if they chose to) make any payment to you in the event they accept liability for an error. From what I read thus far they do not accept liability, they claim they did not scam you.
They made a final decision, there is nothing I can do personally. I asked for support to try get the community pressure them.
You seem to have failed, you did not succeed when you attempted to get the community to pressure FortuneJack. The majority of forum members that are aware of the situation have not backed you, your claim or your flag. Does that mean you should change something in your approach or does that mean you are still going to remain on the same track.

As mentioned, I need to read up on this to understand what happened but assuming what I wrote above is accurate, what would be an acceptable outcome for you?
As of now, they must pay the remaining winnings of my 2 bets + interest rate for being late. Payment must be made in euros values.
It is clear they will never pay you what you are claiming because they deny scamming you and they claim they are operating within their Terms of Service that you signed up to when you decided to play there.

The only option you have is a legal one and that route will mean you having to find a lawyer either on a no-win-no-fee basis or basically you will have to pay their fees from your own pocket. And if you ever got to that stage there is no guarantee you will win.

Your flag has far more opposition than it does support, it has no momentum and you seem to have zero chance of FortuneJack accepting liability for your claimed losses and they have already said they will make no more comments regarding this case and you have welcomed that by telling them you do not want them to come back to post about it.

Therefore keeping your stance in mind:  what do you hope to achieve by posting about your allegations in the forum?
Lately I have been posting a lot less, and not so much about FortuneJack. Though I hope to get only one person who reads my posts to avoid using FortuneJack, and any of the organisations advertised here, and not fall in the same trap as I did.
Yes I noticed some of your posts in other threads, it is good to see you trying to become a more active member of the community by posting in other threads.

Regarding you wanting to ensure even if one person was to avoid FortuneJack or the other organisations that did not help you then it might be considered as some form of success, I think you have made the point. If you want to regularly bump this thread in order to sustain your aims then it means it might bring you some sort of closure while holding hopes of receiving a payment from FortuneJack.

Other forum members have stated their opinions on how they saw your case and they are entitled to their views. As far as my position is concerned, I still have not read all the information related to the scam allegation but FortuneJack deny wrongdoing as per their Terms and Condition and those were what you signed up on their website. It is clear they will not pay you because they claim they did nothing wrong.

Without a doubt they (FortuneJack) and all other gaming/gambling websites should not allow bets to be placed in the first place if they will be voided later. This is because of the obvious conflict of interest in a scenario:

- there is a win which they could refuse to pay and instead refund the wagered amount and inform the user of a breach of the ToS
- there is a losing bet placed but they will not inform the user about the breach of ToS therefore will not refund that particular bet and the user remains none the wiser

I would advise you to move on from this episode with a view that you wagered around €4700 and won around €92,000. As for the other €5700 you wagered which could have brought you around €100,000, just take it as you receiving your wagered amounts back but the winnings were disputed by the website operator.

If you decide to continue your claim: Can you point out in this link to their Terms and Conditions exactly which parts of the contract you claim were broken by FortuneJack?

And after that, can you point out in the same Terms and Conditions which parts of the contract FortuneJack claim were broken by you?

Salah's transfer value was higher than Mane's before both of them arrived at Liverpool, so I understand why he was earning more than Mane, but if they can offer Salah £350/week, I don't understand why the club turned down Mane's £250/week demand. They clearly wanted him gone. He appears to be content at Bayern.
I did not know Mane asked for £250,00 per week to stay and I am not sure they wanted him gone. My understanding was that after six years at the club he wanted a new challenge and Klopp seems to confirm this: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-transfers-klopp-mane-tour-27450686

Liverpool and Klopp would have been happy for him to stay, they could have replaced him two years down the line but Mane refused to sign a ne contract or discuss a pay rise. Rather than keep a player that wanted to move, they accepted an offer from Bayern Munich that could rise to £35 million if certain conditions were to be met, they decided to cash-in.





Hazard's Real Madrid career was ruined by a lack of playing time and injuries. It saddened me to see him degrade every season since he arrived.


Chelsea and Bayern Munich ruined the Ronaldo deal; what now for him? Manchester United comeback?
Real Madrid unveiled Hazard with great fanfare but he could not live up to the reputation because of those injuries. Sadly for him he will not be remembered at his time in Madrid for anything other than being a monumental failure and disappointment. I knew he had to leave that particular season because he was playing fantastic football for Chelsea and he could not refuse when Real Madrid chased him. The transfer fee was good for Chelsea too.

As for Ronaldo, he may end up staying at Manchester United which would mean after 19 consecutive seasons playing in the Champions League he will have to settle for the Europa League.

I have no idea how close he was to joining either Bayern Munich or Chelsea but right now it looks likely he will be staying at Manchester United as even though his financial demands will probably be met, no manager will risk upsetting his existing team and exisitng star players when a showman famous footballing legend signs bringing with him a massive media and social media following his every move which in itself brings a new spotlight on the club.

He already rejected a £105 million per year salary at a Middle Eastern club in order to play at the highest level in Europe if possible.
