41  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet $15,000 confiscated due to US Citizenship on: October 18, 2020, 01:49:33 PM
The accounts were two years apart.  The first account was 4 years old, and the 2nd account I opened after taking off 2 years from the site with no activity, I'm not even sure I remembered my old email.  I really feel stupid about that one, and also the USA thing.  I was hooked on the site and I lost on the account for 11 weeks, until I started winning then they confiscated a big series of deposits/cashout and claimed I won on the account so they can keep my deposit/what I sent them.

That is the update on the situation.  I am awaiting word on Cloudbet main thread on update after reviewing the new facts presented in the case about my total win/loss showing I actually didn't win on their site, in fact I lost a lot more than I won- so therefor hoping precedent from past cases can play a roll in their new decision.

Hello, usually I will not respond to posts of this nature but I need to clarify for anyone reading:

I sent in my personal documents of myself, no fake document. 

Still awaiting word from Cloudbet to hear further review of case given new facts about my total losses and deposits on site to receive back the deposits of 67 BCH minus .26 bitcoin mis-grade that day.

I appreciate any support you guys can throw my way.  Thank you!

I do appreciate your feedback, and I'm not going to argue on all of your points.  

I will say that I was never actually banned from the site.  I just received a request for documents and ceased to play on the site two years prior to this happening.  Then I stupidly made a new account two years later instead of clearing that issue up first.

Sure people shouldn't play from the USA.  When someone sends a large amount of money to a site, and the site accepts your action for months on end knowing you are a USA player, then when you send them a large amount they decide not only to not allow your bets all of a sudden to be valid, but not even to return what you sent them due to some backhanded profit/loss argument.   This is when I'd hope Cloudbet could re-look at the case and see that I was actually a long-time losing player on the site- not some sharp winning player making many different accounts trying to do something shady.  It was a clear error on my part- I live a pretty clean and honest life and this was a clear mis-step and was innocent in nature, not meant to defraud anyone or do any harm to anyone. I had been losing for 11 weeks until the 12th week when I finally won something.

I'm not going to argue further concerning these since it's like beating a dead horse and buries the important posts and new facts I have laid out above.  I also take full responsibility for these mistakes and apologize to Cloudbet for severely overreacting and overreaching in my antics after them saying privately and publicly they wouldn't hear anything more and were closing the case about my deposits.

To you, and those reading- I mostly wanted to clarify that I have never been banned from this site, not once.  I am a losing player on the site for 4 years now.  I am awaiting Cloudbet's updates on the main thread regarding the new facts presented and hoping that we can come to a resolution soon so we can all move on from this horrible debacle that I take full responsibility for putting myself in- though I do believe that given the facts presented and the precedent of previous cases that these work in my favor to receive the account balance back minus the mis-grade (67 BCH minus .26 btc mis-grade).  The reason Cloudbet gave that they wouldn't return my deposits is that I was a winning player on the site- however that is stone-cold false.  I am a big losing player on the site, and a long time loyal loser.  So I am waiting for them to re-look at the facts presented.

I appreciate any support in receiving my deposits back and having Cloudbet re-look at this case given that I have provided proof and evidence and am stating provable facts at this point.  I was nothing but a loyal customer, I had a VIP agent, and I am not some genius bettor.  I lost a lot of money on the site previously, and I was hooked and it was my mistake to give it one last go.  I just want what I sent the site that day (or the balance which is less).  I hope I have your support in this- if I don't I am sorry but I have to await word from Cloudbet's reviews of the points laid out above with the new facts presented and proof of past deposits and withdrawals.  No harm was meant by me- I simply loved the site.


I believe given the facts that I am a losing player on the site and the precedent of past cases, they can re-look at the case and the facts presented and give a new ruling and I am awaiting this and have ceased to flame and apologized profusely to the community and Cloudbet and come clean on my own accord.  Again, I have never been banned from Cloudbet in my life, and I wouldn't have come back if I were.

Now I have presented the true hard facts, on my own accord not prodded by anyone except my own inability to lie to myself and others.  I am an honest individual, no intent to defraud anyone- with a habit of betting on Cloudbet that was picked up a few years prior.  I'm also a losing player on their site, and still would be should they award me the deposits I sent them that day and requested back.

I appreciate your time and your respectful post- however I do have to respectfully disagree.  Again, I am awaiting further word about the case from Cloudbet and hoping we can come to a resolution.  I also would appreciate any community support that you can throw my way in this case.  If not, no problem.  I am sitting tight awaiting word from Cloudbet after they look over the new facts presented.

and there are points about that case that actually HELP me.

in fact cloudbet have more than enough points for do not to give you back the money you deposited and not to answer you anymore.

1 - you had been banned in the past for being in a country that their TOS are forbidding, but you insisted on using the site even though you knew it was against TOS.

2 - You handed over false documents and lied that you were in Mexico

3 - you created another bitcointalk account and created a website where you started with a smear campaign

These are strengths that make cloudbet close this case without having to give you your money back.

I'm very sorry to tell you this, but you should do something about this gambling addiction. perhaps the best option at that moment is to forget about this case and never enter a gambling site again because you will only destroy your life. gambling are not guaranteed profits, they should be seen as entertainment and not as a main source of income



OK, my account wasn't banned, I just didn't send in the documents on the first account.


#2, I believe Cloudbet should re-look at the case with the facts presented.  I don't feel that they should have the right to wait for me to send them money after accepting my action for many months just to evaporate the balance.


I understand being upset with me lying about my location- but why are you defending Cloudbet over a player who has been wronged?  I hope Cloudbet responds to the new facts of the case soon.  Thank you for your understanding, and I'm sorry if it upsets you- if so just leave the case alone.

You always claim the 330btc situation is the same as yours but you cannot be more wrong.

You have been banned years ago and knew you are not allowed to play. But still you made another account and played again, that's just stupid.
The other guy only had his 1 account and then the problem came up.

See the difference?



look, i know the situation is not EXACTLY the same. however, it is similar. and there are points about that case that actually HELP me. the other guy was a lifetime winner, he deposited 150btc i believe and was up 180btc. im a lifetime LOSER. so my case is actually stronger than the other guy on that point. my case is weaker on the point that i already had an account, i fully admit that and have come clear 100% with all the information accurate now. sure, i broke that TOS in addition. however, overall my case is much stronger than the 330btc guy and i cant understand why he got paid and i didnt. does cloudbet have liquidity problems? have they signed a wallet with a large balance in a while? i truly cannot understand and the community should be starting to ask these questions as well


________________________________________

Still no word from Cloudbet.  I've ceased flaming and apologized for presenting mis-leading and false facts about the case.  Now with the updated facts awaiting further review of the case from team Cloudbet and really hoping we can come to a resolution.  I still believe precedent from past cases should play a role given the new facts presented above in the case.  Awaiting word from Cloudbet, thank you for those supporting this case to this point.


Note:  i want to clarify that I've never once been banned from cloudbet.  They asked for documents on the first account, I didn't send them because I don't like sending documents.  2 years later I made another account and here we are.

I've updated everything with factual provable information and I've cooled it on calling out Cloudbet.  I recognize my faults- however that doesn't change whether or not I should receive the money back that I sent them (less actually)
49  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet should no longer be allowed on bitcointalk- a danger to community on: October 15, 2020, 07:34:12 PM
here is the similar case, almost the SAME THING THAT HAPPENED WITH ME, AND THE GUY WAS EVEN UP https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333552.msg49817125#msg49817125 if cloudbet paid this guy 330btc why cant they pay me?

That case was in 2019, and this is 2020, many things have changed from that time. More powerful sportsbook like FJ, SB , Stake.com has taken the ecosystem. I also dont believe that they paid him 330 BTC but there might be some deal inbetween them as the user was clearly a US resident.

Cloudbet has lost the race with SB and Stake.

I agree, it seems that they needed the money so they took the chance to take some back when I deposited a large amount.  I'm hoping they re-look at the case in the other thread.  We are waiting on what they say about it.

ok, i didnt realize about the rules and the situation is so unique that it obv merited some additional posting, but i will chill now that ive provided the correct information, and wait to hear another statement from cloudbet

"This has been the case with several vocal users in the forum. Sometimes this can take some time, as every case is slightly different, but is always resolved eventually provided the player furnishes us with accurate information." -Cloudbet Team on 330BTC situation which is the exact same scenario as mine
51  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet should no longer be allowed on bitcointalk- a danger to community on: October 14, 2020, 03:18:16 AM
Hi all,

There has been some discontent in the forums and we would like to take this opportunity to clear a few issues up.

Firstly, please be reminded that Cloudbet does NOT accept any USA players.

USA players are blocked from registering accounts, and are blocked from making bets. If any player from USA attempts to make an account, they see a message saying USA players are prohibited and are not able to sign up.

To reiterate, players from USA are NOT allowed on Cloudbet.

If we have strong reason to believe that a player has deliberately and willingly circumvented our terms of service by connecting from USA (or another restricted territory), we freeze their account while we conduct an investigation, and ask the player to provide documentation on their residency. Please note that this is only when we strongly suspect that a player has connected from USA, ie, there is specific evidence to suggest this.

In most cases, the player is cooperative and provides us with accurate documentation about their account and residency. If they are a USA resident, we close their account permanently, and return their account balance. This has been the case with several vocal users in the forum. Sometimes this can take some time, as every case is slightly different, but is always resolved eventually provided the player furnishes us with accurate information.

If they are connecting from a non-restricted country, we reopen their account and they can resume using their account without limitation.

Please note that in all cases where the player has cooperated, they have received their entire account balance, and had their accounts closed only if they were connecting from a prohibited jurisdiction (or there was a separate unrelated issue). If any forum members in this situation would come forward and confirm receipt of their account balances in full, this would be appreciated.

However - on rare occasions, the player is NOT cooperative and provides us with deliberately falsified or fraudulent information. In these cases, our investigations are significantly more complicated and time consuming.


There is one specific case that has received a lot of attention from the community - Swofty - as the dollar amount is particularly large. Here is our comment on the case:

  • As we have a duty of privacy to all of our players, we are limited in what we can share. The player may have shared some details, but we are not able to share any specifics or personal data.
  • That said, we can share definitively that the player has knowingly and deliberately provided untruthful, falsified and fraudulent information to both Cloudbet and the community.
  • The account holder is NOT the person that he/she states it is, nor are they in the location they state.
  • The player also knowingly and deliberately circumvented our terms of service by connecting from a prohibited jurisdiction.
  • The reason the player has not been paid yet is entirely to do with them circumventing our terms of service and providing falsified and fraudulent information, and nothing to do with our bitcoin liquidity (more on that below).
  • As the customer provided us with definitively falsified information, we suggested they reach out to Curacao Egaming - with whom we hold a licence - for assistance. This is the correct escalation for any player issues.
  • We intend to resolve this issue in a manner completely fair to everyone once we receive truthful and accurate information from the player.
  • It appears as if the player is now cooperating, so we hope to have a resolution to this case soon.

We have been encouraged by the way the community has responded to rally behind the player and help hold Cloudbet accountable, however in this case the player has not been truthful with the community. We encourage the player to share a more accurate story.


Separately, concerns have been raised about Cloudbet's ability to service the player's withdrawal immediately. You needn’t be concerned - we hold enough funds to cover all of our player balances several times over, and we would never accept a bet that we could not pay in full immediately. We have been around since 2013 and have always celebrated our largest winners, and paid extremely promptly.

We would like to address this in the way requested by the community -- a signed message from a wallet that holds sufficient funds to cover any liabilities that may be due to this player.

We have signed a message from a wallet holding ~1157 BTC. All outputs spent to this wallet are from wallets that belong to us, and had not moved in over a year (we sent them to a single wallet for the purpose of this exercise) so they are not newly acquired coins.  We would be happy to sign another message from any of the source wallets to prove ownership if required.

I hope that addresses the community's immediate concerns. If anybody has any further questions or follow-up, please feel free to contact us directly via our support channels, or post a reply in this thread and we will do our best to address them in a timely manner.

Once more, to reiterate, Cloudbet does NOT accept USA players.

You can do a compromise to erase all your accusations or lock your thread or update that the issues are resolved if they give you money back  your chances is still 50/50 here because this is $15000 and it's huge money, I'd like to think that it's the end for Cloudbet and I will warn any of my friends to avoid this gambling site.

It's so true man, thank you for your kind words, they really mean more than you know.

this should be easy to resolve
1 punter can post list of deposits
2 cloudbet can post list of withdrawals

either can then dispute any transaction

When all transactions are agreed, then if punter as lost then under cloudbet terms punter is reimbursed
if punter has won then accusation against cloudbet is dismissed. No more going round in circles

Yep, you can see all my deposits on the 4 year old account here and see that i am a big loser, all images can be verified (over 200 deposits totalling almost 5 bitcoins!!)

I am a loser on the site, therefor considering the ruling of point #4 by cloudbet team,  what I deposited that day minus the mis-grade should be reconsidered as owed back to player i am hoping by cloudbet (so the balance of 67 BCH approximately $15,000 minus .26 bitcoins approximately $3,000 at this time)

You can see all of the proof of all 200 deposits here:

These new facts I am hoping Cloudbet looks at since point 4 was the most important point, pertaining to the total amoutn profitead or lost on the site.  Thank you for any consideration of these facts with proof.

And here are the withdrawals I have come up with:

Here is the master spreadsheet to show my profits and losses totaling quite a bit lost on the 4 year old johncoltrane44@gmail.com account.  This would put me in the negative by a mile on Cloudbet as a long time loyal VIP customer:

Hi all,

There has been some discontent in the forums and we would like to take this opportunity to clear a few issues up.

Firstly, please be reminded that Cloudbet does NOT accept any USA players.

USA players are blocked from registering accounts, and are blocked from making bets. If any player from USA attempts to make an account, they see a message saying USA players are prohibited and are not able to sign up.

To reiterate, players from USA are NOT allowed on Cloudbet.

If we have strong reason to believe that a player has deliberately and willingly circumvented our terms of service by connecting from USA (or another restricted territory), we freeze their account while we conduct an investigation, and ask the player to provide documentation on their residency. Please note that this is only when we strongly suspect that a player has connected from USA, ie, there is specific evidence to suggest this.

In most cases, the player is cooperative and provides us with accurate documentation about their account and residency. If they are a USA resident, we close their account permanently, and return their account balance. This has been the case with several vocal users in the forum. Sometimes this can take some time, as every case is slightly different, but is always resolved eventually provided the player furnishes us with accurate information.

If they are connecting from a non-restricted country, we reopen their account and they can resume using their account without limitation.

Please note that in all cases where the player has cooperated, they have received their entire account balance, and had their accounts closed only if they were connecting from a prohibited jurisdiction (or there was a separate unrelated issue). If any forum members in this situation would come forward and confirm receipt of their account balances in full, this would be appreciated.

However - on rare occasions, the player is NOT cooperative and provides us with deliberately falsified or fraudulent information. In these cases, our investigations are significantly more complicated and time consuming.


There is one specific case that has received a lot of attention from the community - Swofty - as the dollar amount is particularly large. Here is our comment on the case:

  • As we have a duty of privacy to all of our players, we are limited in what we can share. The player may have shared some details, but we are not able to share any specifics or personal data.
  • That said, we can share definitively that the player has knowingly and deliberately provided untruthful, falsified and fraudulent information to both Cloudbet and the community.
  • The account holder is NOT the person that he/she states it is, nor are they in the location they state.
  • The player also knowingly and deliberately circumvented our terms of service by connecting from a prohibited jurisdiction.
  • The reason the player has not been paid yet is entirely to do with them circumventing our terms of service and providing falsified and fraudulent information, and nothing to do with our bitcoin liquidity (more on that below).
  • As the customer provided us with definitively falsified information, we suggested they reach out to Curacao Egaming - with whom we hold a licence - for assistance. This is the correct escalation for any player issues.
  • We intend to resolve this issue in a manner completely fair to everyone once we receive truthful and accurate information from the player.
  • It appears as if the player is now cooperating, so we hope to have a resolution to this case soon.

We have been encouraged by the way the community has responded to rally behind the player and help hold Cloudbet accountable, however in this case the player has not been truthful with the community. We encourage the player to share a more accurate story.


Separately, concerns have been raised about Cloudbet's ability to service the player's withdrawal immediately. You needn’t be concerned - we hold enough funds to cover all of our player balances several times over, and we would never accept a bet that we could not pay in full immediately. We have been around since 2013 and have always celebrated our largest winners, and paid extremely promptly.

We would like to address this in the way requested by the community -- a signed message from a wallet that holds sufficient funds to cover any liabilities that may be due to this player.

We have signed a message from a wallet holding ~1157 BTC. All outputs spent to this wallet are from wallets that belong to us, and had not moved in over a year (we sent them to a single wallet for the purpose of this exercise) so they are not newly acquired coins.  We would be happy to sign another message from any of the source wallets to prove ownership if required.

Wallet: 16vk7DahVgj4VsfKKdr1pG3QJ9FvzXpdJN
Message: cloudbet.com // no USA players allowed
Signature: HxO5QwkA/UNVePahBUzYgWL4Zz5syTC1H6/LeHICsvW0MYG9Q+PgOjNbzVXgXsLbadzFO2wLlz25nsbaXkeTXo4=

You can verify the above message in your bitcoin client, or by using the web interface here

I hope that addresses the community's immediate concerns. If anybody has any further questions or follow-up, please feel free to contact us directly via our support channels, or post a reply in this thread and we will do our best to address them in a timely manner.

Once more, to reiterate, Cloudbet does NOT accept USA players.

Thanks for your continued support, patience, and diligence.

Hi all,

Cloudbet has made an official statement with regards to allegations made by @efxes. This statement can be found in the Cloudbet Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333552.msg55334974#msg55334974

Moving forward, all updates regarding this case will be made on this thread.

Thank you for your continued support,

Team Cloudbet

here's where they said the discussion would be in here.  So I'm hoping they review the new facts in the case.  Look at all these VIP emails.  They got me hooked on the site 2 years ago and then told USA customers they had to leave , so I made a new account 18 months later , the last time i did anything on the site was january 2019 then i made an account in I think June of 2020 and used VPN.  Then I won some money, withdrew, and wound up re-depositing a few times, and then the last deposit has been confiscated (67 BCH or about $15,000 has been confiscated minus a .26 bitcoin mis-grade).


Here's an imgur post with some VIP emails like below on the first account from VIP account manager Andy

why I don't understand why this problem is dragging on until today with no solution
AFAIK, cloudbet consider this case as closed and don't want to discuss anything further about this because the user lied and there is clear violation so cloudbet is in the position whether they want to give the deposit or wanted to hold themselves.

Already the topic related to this issue has been moved to Cloudbet $15,000 confiscated due to US Citizenship so it is better to continue the discussions there in my opinion.

Hi, Cloudbet said that they would continue discussion here, not in scam accusations threads.  They stopped in a thread and said that in scam accusations. 

I have provided new facts to the case.  I had a VIP account manager 2 years ago and I am providing emails for that now.  I used to be a VIP customer because I lost so much.  Yet they want to take what I deposit because they think I'm a winning account.  I have lost a lot, so I hope they respond to this.
