841  Economy / Gambling / Re: Game Protect Legal Case - Curacao License Scam on: November 26, 2019, 03:25:29 PM

Thank you for your update. I am of course sorry that nothing could be done on your behalf, but glad to hear you are out of gambling (as ironic as it may sound given my avatar). My honest advice to you is to not post further on this forum under your current ID as game-protect has been threatening to dox customers who complain or file lawsuits against them for "defamation." Of course, he/she has not actually filed such a lawsuit to date, but you certainly don't need that on your mind as a possibility. Perhaps the lawyer you have engaged with is more honest than game-protect themselves and will see your case through independent of their involvement. In any case, good luck in your future endeavors.

I think you should thank her for sharing her story, the forum didn't have many cases of actual experience with GP, and in my opinion it's truly sad to see a customer being treated like this ... being called a piece of **** - maybe she wasn't the one making the deposit (aka donation), I did it, but I did it as an investment and far as I was concerned Jenni should have been treated with professionalism and with respect just as if she made the deposit (aka donation) by herself.

I think the forum should thank her for being honest, I also thank her, I also thanked Game Protect for helping me in the past, I would always appreciate it but nonetheless I am very disappointed to see how things are now ... very sad ...

Hi Everyone

Just a short note from me to say that unfortunately I have lost all hope that anything will happen with my case. The FACTS are:

I sent GP a support note just over a year ago telling him about my claim. This included the fact that I gambled on a Curacao website (which i believe shouldn't accept UK players anyway) and despite the fact that I requested 50+ times over the course of 6 months that my account be closed/blocked/excluded, they continued to send me promotions and credit my account with small amounts to entice me back. My e-mails and requests were never responded to and I ended up losing £12k ish.

GP asked me for a 5% donation to take on my case but I wasn't willing to pay. Get-Paid kindly invested in my case and GP said that he would engage a lawyer.

I didn't hear anything for a long time after that (4-5 months maybe) which is why i started the thread here. I wanted to try and get things moving. GP e-mailed me after i started the thread and said that if started publishing any of our conversations, he would tell the Lawyer to pull my case.

I did speak to a lawyer for the first time in August 2019, about 8 months after submitting my case. I was asked to sign documents and told to leave it with him. For the first 3-4 weeks my e-mails were responded to and i was informed that the owners of the casino in question had left. But he said he would try and find another way to enforce my case.

When asking the Lawyer for an update, Game Protect replied to him saying: "Jenni published details about the enforcement proceeding on a forum
that lead to Game Protect was getting attacked. Therefore I recommend to not give details about the enforcement proceeding to Jennifer, as there is a high risk that she will publish it."

This is of course not true; i've never given details of my case before now.

Since then, despite chasing, I have heard nothing.

Fortunately, my gambling days are far behind me and i most certainly was not relying or banking on getting any of my money back. I felt it was a long shot from the start. 

But what I will say now, is that Game Protect is terrible to deal with. I had to constantly chase for updates and was continually attacked by him for simply wanting to know what was going on. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Thank you Get Paid for all your help. I'm sorry we did not win this one and that you have lost out on my behalf.

Sorry to hear about all this, I've asked Game Protect to refund h4ns money that was owed to him ... I explained to him why in my opinion it's important to do so ... but unfortunately it never happened, not until now at least.

Now I see that your case is pretty lost - it's very sad .... you don't have to be sorry for me not winning this one, I've learned my lesson ... I'm very disappointed to see what has happened with Game Protect - it's truly sad ... a business that could have been genuine, robust, provide help for those in need - looks like it's all in shatters now,  after seeing 2 unsuccessful cases (yours and h4ns) this looks bad.

Game Protect - again I appreciate your help in the past that you helped me win a case, however I think moving forward it's just not working, you cannot leave your customers stranded like this ... looking for any little detail or reason to blame your customers like you did with Jenny is also unscrupulous ... she made this thread initially after not hearing for several months from you ... how can you explain that she hasn't received proper replies? In your line of business ignoring emails is okay? Selectively choosing when to reply is okay? Or telling a lawyer to not reply to a customer because she went to the forum is okay? (and she initially went to the forum without causing any defamation or issues to you, I even tried to explain the situation as shown in this thread).

As far as I'm concerned I feel sorry for the customers, I also feel sorry for you for not going through the right path ... this is just not right but what else can I do to try and explain that the right path (for any business whatsoever) is working WITH customers and not AGAINST them.

Just letting you know we've been promoting sites such as Roobet.com and Stake.com - the user engagement is amazing if the tweet is genuine and appealing. We can also compose the tweet for you.

Feel free to order now, at the current pace we would have to raise our prices soon, so take advantage of the very low price of $2 per tweet, it won't remain so for a long time.

Before locking this topic - just wanted to mention - Blockchain.com looked at this thread (we sent them a link) - they said the following FYI:

In the Bitcoin Talk thread you linked to, I see that one commenter mentioned that the Blockchain Wallet is not open source. Please note, this is incorrect. The Blockchain Wallet is open source and can be found on github here: https://github.com/blockchain

Thanks!

Also, I think you imply the wrong meaning to the proverb "what goes around comes around".

No, I know what I've said:



And please if you want to correct grammar or vocabulary mistakes or typos - look at other members in the forum, I don't think my English is the one that needs amendments.
For example:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201442.msg53126907#msg53126907

traffics?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202958.0

First (thing) you know about online gambling?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202622.0

What's really good have you received from the results of the gambling bounty  Huh

Feel free to drop any Grammar/Vocabulary/Typo whatever comments in those threads, I don't wanna sound too cocky but those users need it much more than me.


Life should be explore

Life shouldn't be explore ... life should be explored ... !

I felt the need to correct you because from all the typos/grammar comments or whatever I've seen here - Betwrong felt the need to criticize someone whose English is his mother tongue, whilst ignoring posts like this that definitely need their English to be explored.

<snip>

Is there a simple guide how to do what you mentioned?
Assuming you have the seeds of your blockchain wallet.

It's really easy like you restore a wallet with Electrum. The difference is after entering the seed you need to click the options button and check BIP39 seed.



Then just press next next next etc until you see your wallet window.

Let me know if this helps.

And good to know that the balance are showing up now. Although it was never suppose to be a problem if you had the seeds of course.

Thanks!

And to those who haven't read post #5 - the issue was already resolved.

Updated CPM to 10$.

We have decided to give it a shot ... FYI our CPM is $2.00 and not $10.00

848  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.com not showing Bitcoin transaction on: November 19, 2019, 09:48:26 PM
It's now showing! Phew.

849  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.com not showing Bitcoin transaction on: November 19, 2019, 09:41:41 PM
or another possibility is that the address that is being displayed to you is NOT part of your wallet and has been modified by malware to display a hackers address.

This option is impossible, we're using the official Blockchain.com website - this is an address provided by them. No hackers involved.
Is this normal not to see the balance updated yet?!


Anyway, I think it does not matter. If you have the seeds then you can restore the wallet using Electrum and you should see the balance there.

Is there a simple guide how to do what you mentioned?
850  Economy / Web Wallets / Blockchain.com not showing Bitcoin transaction on: November 19, 2019, 09:30:25 PM
In Blockchain.com it shows to use this address to request Bitcoin:

19G8zHcdSzyz1WjR8MTMBzENRRE9YrKUSP



0.0795 BTC was sent there and already confirmed:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/0238eecddfc16678734d72aa5b03c619fbb0425ea9273e630e5da2856929c69f

But in the Blockchain wallet it's not showing up! It shows the latest transaction is from several hours ago!



Is this normal?!

Why Blockchain.com is not showing the 0.0795 BTC transaction?!

will be very lucky for those of you who like to play gambling but do not get addicted, it would be nice if gambling was only for entertainment only but not to the level of addiction.  because most people if they gamble instead want to gamble continuously.

No gambler is "lucky" or immune from being addicted.

Many people who started with just a $5 bet - ended up losing millions - for example Justyn Larcombe - read his story.
852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: November 19, 2019, 03:56:39 PM

I know it is hard to leave the life that you've been used to, but guys, it is all worth it if you will quit gambling and explore the world, it's much prettier and beneficial to us.


You are 1000% right.
853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: November 19, 2019, 12:26:14 PM
I have not been addicted to gambling, because I can control it when I play gambling. Maybe this is not the worst thing for me.
It's just that I feel when I gamble, I feel enjoy at home and do not want to do other activities, such as working to make money. Really this I have ever experienced. But for addiction, maybe I haven't got the status like that.

Then you're living in denial if you call it normal.
The fact you don't want to do any other activities and you don't want to work (hard) for yourself only proves what the gambling activity is causing you - isolation. Like it or not, it's a fact.


I'd suggest bobyhodob and others, who have the strength to stop playing after big win and withdraw, to invite someone to a good restaurant right away. Thus you'll have something interesting to do instead of losing your money behind the computer screen.

That's a bad advice, it won't help neither.
How many times I've heard of stories of gamblers who won, big, really big, 5-6 or even 7 figures ... they kept the money, they didn't spend it, they didn't "re-deposit" the money but nonetheless they spent more than they could afford after a while ....

Even those who won the lottery have proven that "what goes around comes around" - if you win too quickly - you would lose that money too quickly, at least the highest chances are that you would lose it ... Ashley Revell perhaps is an example to someone who won a single spin of a roulette and used the money for business instead of losing it however I have no idea how his personal life is now, and like it or not - what goes around comes around.

So by all means, go a nice restaurant, "enjoy" your winnings - but just be aware that tomorrow, next week, next month or even next year - you might lose more than you actually gained on that night when you won big. Just be aware of it that if you haven't stopped - then you will always be at risk of losing more than you would even imagine.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reputation at stake will you stop gambling on: November 19, 2019, 12:17:02 PM
The issue is not being a "gambler" - the issue is trust.

In history addictive gamblers have proven they can steal funds, conceal the evidence and so forth - people won't trust you if they know you are gambling with money.

In fact, in Judaism those who gamble are not allowed to be used as witnesses in court - in any type of court - simply because they are not trustworthy, you cannot trust someone who gambles.

Ask yourself - a gambler is telling you - "can you lend me please $100? I promise to give it back to you next week" - how reliable and credible will be his promise?

There's your answer.
855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: November 19, 2019, 08:12:26 AM

As I said above if you only play with your gains you can't lose anything at the end, moreover the prime goal of a good money management is not to make big gains but to limit your losses. It's perfectly adapted to the gambling if you're able to evaluate the probabilities rightly.

Why would you put yourself inside a system where you need to limit your losses as if you take for granted you would lose something in the first place? In that case it's best if you don't play in the first place ... as deisik said after you as follows:

To sum it up, proper money management would dictate you to stay away from gambling altogether in practically all cases

Well said.
The best money management you can have with gambling is not gambling at all in the first place.
Very well said.

I agree we couldn't really blame the gambling site's because of those carefree gamblers.
It is our responsibility as a person to know our limitation and our obligations.
If someone got addicted to gambling it is their fault they could control their own but they choose to gamble their money anyways.
We don't need to blame the gambling sites if a person is a gambling addict he/she would always find a way to gamble even if it isn't through crypto,
After all offline Casino's also have those kind of gamblers so would you still say that they are to blame?

Ignorance is truly a bliss.

So if underage users use an anonymous gambling website - then that website shouldn't be blamed for those "carefree gamblers", right?

If we as human beings can be responsible for all of our actions, then why can't we buy a beer when we're 6 years old, or smoke a cigarette? Why are there limitations in place or in the first place?


After all offline Casino's also have those kind of gamblers so would you still say that they are to blame?

Most OFFLINE casinos or bookmakers as mentioned above have several policies in place, such as age verification, KYC, and even self exclusion.
Most OFFLINE casinos require you to register for the first time before you can even get inside.

The ignorance that is coming out of some posters here is truly remarkable ... why don't you do yourself a favor and save your ridiculous opinion to yourself? It's best if you don't post than post tons of nonsense here.

860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anonymous Gambling and Self Exclusion on: November 18, 2019, 03:35:22 PM
For gambling owners to make a feature that will allow their gamblers to limit their gambling or to limit their money on betting for a day I think it would likely shrinking their ability to use more than a limit of money can be bothersome to them, in my opinion, they will surely limit certain income, I think the issue of addiction can be settled with the person who is addicted by gambling and not the gambling site, but again it can be done but I think it will work if the gambling site will surely comply if they want to lessen their income in the process.

I think this problem can be taken care of by the relatives of the gambler or the gambler themselves as a gambler I am just limiting my games or bets and the money I will be using for that day I think that would surely lessen the number of losing you can make.

Most governments in the world don't agree with you.
The biggest names in the industry such as Pinnacle, BetFair, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, Coral, Bwin and more - also don't act based on your advice.

Likewise the consumption of alcoholic beverages is limited to only 18+ years in many countries (if not 21+ in other locations!)

Gambling in many countries is limited to a certain age - where anonymous gambling doesn't adhere to that guideline neither (hint: thus there is going to be a huge crackdown on several websites soon, others will follow suit once the punishment will be quite severe, this won't be a few hundreds or a few thousands - millions are going to be seized).

Underage gambling is a problem that is not even discussed here, and I'm sure some of the posters here will "ignore" it because according to them - the goal is to make as much money as possible "and screw all the rest".

Well, society doesn't work like this - if you think the situation is going to continue like this then you're living in an illusion, there is already a huge investigation going on and it's only a matter of time before several Crypto Anonymous Gambling sites will get shut down, and to be honest - I won't shed a single tear when this would happen.
