Stake is giving away $100k every week by awarding 20 users with $5000 each. You get 1 ticket for every $1000 wagered on the site. I saw the promo didn't show up last night (26/06 Night Europe time), and I contacted their support to ask if everything is okay:  I then placed several bets on Italy-Austria when I was told it's all okay for instance:  I was taking this large risk in order to "buy" a ticket for the $100k raffle, i.e. I exchanged a risk of $400+ in order to participate in the raffle. I wagered $400+ 4 times so it should count towards 1 ticket + over $600 towards a 2nd ticket - but today I saw I have 0 tickets.  They told me Due to maintenance, the timer was delayed by the system and started 1:59 AM 6/27/2021. All of your bets were before that time period and therefore not eligible for the raffle ticket.As well as Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it. We are unable to provide raffle tickets manualy.I told them they can at least offer some compensation, but they refused to offer any. Whilst I understand they had a techncial fault aka "maintenance" or what's not - they told me the promotion is still ongoing - which now seems to be NOT TRUE. I'd like Stake to take responsibility for this error and don't throw their customers off like this! |

I asked their support by email to close my account immediately and the answer I got was that '' do it yourself on the website''. I was in great distress and couldn't even think properly so i repeatedly asked them by email to close it and they finally did it after one week. I asked to at least get my monthly bonus for the huge amount I wagered to have some money back but of course it was refused.
How much did you lose during this week from the moment you asked to close your account until after 1 week when the account got closed? Did you lose a lot during this week? If you did then you could have a case claiming these losses back because they have a responsibility to close the account immediately upon request without allowing you to keep on betting. |

Even if Binance shut down today bitcoin market will lose will lose about 5% of its total volume and keep the remaining 95% while the altcoin market loses more than 80% of its total volume and is only left with 20%, and as you can see nobody in the altcoin market seem to care about it either!
Binance is only the beginning. If this goes on then you can expect lots of big exchanges to shut down or run an excessive KYC checks and Crypto won't be the same. You would have to use untrusted sites to exchange your Crypto, Coinburp for example is doing it right by regulating themselves with the UK FCA. Binance did it wrong, it's all about proper regulation and satisfying the bureaucrats.... it could survive, yes, but not like this. |

Let's see
- he's the one that started the fake volume manipulation at OKCoin
- he continuously lied to his users about where the exchange is and how it is licensed
- he has continuously lied about the securing and insurance of the funds on Binance
- he is promoting a centralized cryptocurrency instead of BTC
- his exchange intentionally charges a huge fee for BTC withdrawal compared to other coins that is well above any fees ever paid on the network
- while everyone is waiting for Taproot activation Binance pool is still not signaling
Should be enough?
Very interesting points. We were not even aware of these points. Would you save some funds with Binance or would you stay away from it like fire right now? |

Except for binance.us the rest is not in US jurisdiction and doesn't serve US citizens, so DOJ/IRS can shove it. Once again the "land of opportunity" tries to stick its greasy fingers where they don't belong.
Agreed, but, what if the US govt would prove Binance.com mixed US citizens etc.? They have more money and power than Binance itself, what would happen then? Remember e-gold.com? |

It's unbelieveable how many threads get started here about Elon Musk this and Elon Musk that.... Have you actually read the news recently?! Just a few hours ago it was reported that Binance is being investigated by the IRS and the Department of Justice (aka DOJ) in the US. 2 days ago Yahoo/Coindesk published an article about many Binance users who have their accounts locked and waiting weeks/months to unlock it without any success, despite sending all the proper KYC verification documents etc. If European governments will join the party then it would be a much bigger disaster for Binance! We already posted this thread that exemplifies one problem that Binance has - you gain interest, report and pay 0 tax on it (we don't mind but the governments do). If you think this is just a "DIP", just a market correction, you're in it for a surprise. It's not for nothing that the Bank of England's governor warned investors and told them to stay away from Crypto in the near future. How all this will roll out? no one knows. Yes, Crypto is a game changer, but the governments around the world seem to step up against it, we're in it for a rollercoaster ride now. |

Where did you get this information from? Can you link to the media article?
Does IRS have the authority to investigate Binance? The company is not headquartered in the US neither allows its operations in all of the US states.
Joel - if you google search "Binance" it will pop up - here's your link: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-13/binance-probed-by-u-s-as-money-laundering-tax-sleuths-bore-inWe don't determine US presence/activity for the company, the US govt can determine that. They have an army of legal advisers on their side. This doesn't look good, period. |

About 3-4 hours ago the media has published Binance is being investigated by the IRS. Remember this thread we started 2 weeks ago? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5333873Keep on unederstimating the US government or other governments around the world. And this is your explanation for the huge falls in Crypto today - whilst the Cardano network is rising because investors want an alternative. |

Not wishing them to be there but the explosion of Binance can explode the entire Crypto bubble.
It's simple
1) Binance is offering "Binance Earn". You earn interest on your savings.
2) For example USDT pays 6% per year in comparison to banks who pay out 0.2% or less than that on US dollars.
3) Binance doesn't report the earnings, govts around the world can scrutiny them for that.
4) Govts can shut them for not following tax code and more.
5) It's not only Binance, Blockchain.com and Crypto.com and others are in the same thing.
What do you think?

I mean don't get me wrong, I wish you the best of luck with this case but you are just wasting your time man.
Absolutely not. If you have 0 knowledge in this field please save your opinion to yourself.
The ultimate question (besides my curiosity of how someone who would gamble away 13 BTC could have amassed such an amount) is if you were to have won dozens of BTC after your self casino ban, would you have been OK with Stake.com refusing to pay out the winnings because you should have been banned? I suspect your answer would be no. Certainly in that situation you would have a much better argument that would lead to more people supporting you.
Your hypothetical scenario shouldn't have taken place in the first place. Proper gambling sites don't allow a self-excluded account to be reopened, period.If a user opens a 2nd account with an attempt to circumvent the system - then and only then - the user is 100% at fault. I had a similar case with a much smaller website and they did pay me after I started legal proceedings against them. Stake must not repeat that mistake and if they want to keep their reputation high they need to pay the user or reach a settlement.
We are sorry that his vip host removed his casino ban that was indeed wrong
Normally and ethically, such "sorry" should be accompanied with a settlement. It's not enough to say sorry after having such an incident. |

We were aware of the token called "Binance Coin" a long time ago. In July 2020 we posted an article about it when the price of 1 BNB was only $18. However, we are considering publishing an article about the exact opposite direction, since Bitcoin has completely bubbled itself into the $50k territory and 1 BNB is worth now close to $200 ! (more than 10x times what it was worth in July 2020). The only way for the Crypto bubble to burst is through Binance, that's how we see it. Binance is not really regulated, and it's perhaps one of the top Crypto exchanges out there. However, the fact it's not regulated is putting it at huge risk, and currently the bubble is inflated so much, so all it takes is some action against it just like the previous payment providers such as e-gold and LibertyReserve which have been destroyed by US regulators - and then you have a worldwide bubble coming into a huge burst. What do you think about this scenario? How far is it from reality? We definitely wish Binance lots of success and we hope it would never go under any type of scrutiny but the bubble is inflated in a way that this scenario is simply screaming out loud that it is going to happen. But what do you think? We would like to hear your opinions. |

I wanted to buy a Fornite code, and most big websites don't have this type of code and Google Search showed NakoBuy has it and it also shows 5 stars in the Google Search (which later would be deemed as fraud). So I placed an order for it as shown below:  Payment was made: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x33d0d5b7c8155b87b69c351acd7d754b44eae27833f0a15ef51a9088c2f7bd3cI got the following email shortly afterwards:  Inquiring about this unscrupulous policy they said:  Well, if you allow someone to pay then you accept their payment - which business allows you to pay and then say "oh, you must order in large quantity or else you don't get your product and don't get a refund neither" ? ? ? ?Also check out their Terms page as of now: https://www.nakobuy.com/terms-conditions/It's showing:  Minimum order on site must be €200. Haven't they said about 2 hours ago it's €100? Regardless .... This site is a pure scam. And asking for extra €17 is a blackmail attempt. Please avoid using this site by all costs and all means whatsoever.
NakoBuy is a PURE SCAM site.

Hello Bitmedia team,
My account balance is $9.76 right now. What is this joke with my account balance?
My account balance was near the withdrawal limit. (0.00079BTC)
Why did you take out my bitcoins? Give me back all my bitcoins and enable me to withdraw the whole amount.
Or you think 0.00079BTC is equal $9.76???
I guess you will lose all your publisher if you continue this scam.
Not speaking on their behalf, they did send an email advising they're changing all balances to USD. Whilst it's annoying to get affected by it - it's better than nothing. They are definitely not a scam. |

This is our first losing pick unfortunately.  |
