So glad I listened to someone's advice to post my story to the scam accusations forum. i posted it to this site, because i learned about it on this site:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=462479.0

I dont have any ulterior motives other than to be the first guy to warn others at one of a few sources of the BS. You should have also turned up that chat transcript on b!z's review of this scam site, as he replied to that thread with a link to his 4.6 star rating for the scam site, and i posted it as a comment to his blog.

heres the 2nd thread where someone suggested the scam accusations forum might be a more appropriate place:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=598409.0

I have spent more time defending my integrity to you than you are worth.

so, you're saying I'm what, then? Perhaps a literate person able to present an argument in favor of something?

sonysasankan, yes,new, but my 1st account on here. I'm not an established member trying to post anonymously
dhomstad, i commented in an earlier thread that the bitbet.US noise makes finding bitbet.com complaints more difficult, but they are out there.

Hi. I'm new to the forum, and my only motivation for posting is to warn others about bitbet.com.

I requested a payout/cashout weeks ago, for roughly the same amount I deposited: ~.10 BTC

I had read that it might take up to 24 hours for payment, however that time came and went with nary a confirmation email or any kind of email acknowledging the request, or any kind of email indicating that there was any reason for delay.

I have proactively contacted this organization 4 times regarding the unfulfilled cashout request. # of times I had been contacted in reply: zero.

I did manage to get a chat representative online, and have attached a transcript below. It felt like i was being BS'd. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but days following this exchange and in the absence of any kind of update, I can only say my belief that they are a scam has only solidified. From the exchange below, can anyone get a sense of what Carolina was saying I would be receiving? Confirmation? Their site makes it appear like cashouts are fast and handled anonymously. I don't require anonymity, I only require consistency and a sense of trust. Not included in the exchange is the time that elapsed between responses. This exchange took well over 20 minutes.

Lastly, what an utter lack of process and/or professionalism to lure customers in with the promise of fast easy cashouts, only to be met with: 'Just be ready to have your information, we will be sending a confirmation.'

What information?
What confirmation?
What time frame?

Chris: BITBET.COM CHAT REQUEST Hello. I am for the 3rd time requesting status of cashout request for ID BITXXXXXXX. Thanks

You are now speaking with Carolina of Payouts Questions.

Chris: hello.

Carolina: Hi Chris!
Chris: hows your day going?

Carolina: Good Chris! Thanks for asking!
Chris: i requested a cashout a week ago, perhaps longer now. i thought the expected wait was to be around 24 hours. im just concerned. reading a lot of negative stuff, and this being my first cashout attempt, you kind of want that to go smoothly to build up trust.

Carolina: Ok sir let me check
Carolina: Ok Chris
, I passed your information to my supervisor, and she goes to commission for resolving.
Just be ready to have your information, we will be sending a confirmation.
We will give you as soon as possible the payout.

Chris: is there an explanation for the delay?

Chris: and i don't understand why i would not receive any kind of confirmation to my email immediately upon requesting the cashout

Carolina: Yes sir,
we have delays with Bitcoins, but we will prioritize you to have the information as soon as possible

Chris: What am i confirming in the confirmation?

Chris: or are you confirming my cashout?

Carolina: That
has already processed your payout

Chris: i see. so, everyone lately has been experiencing delays due to issues with bitcoins?

Carolina: There are enough in the process
Chris: ok. thanks for your time. i hope to see a successful cashout so that trust is established. as of now, im still worried.

Carolina: Your welcome sir
Carolina: Have a good day!

I would add that on this thread in the gambling forum, bitbet.com announced their presence, and some established posters on this site seem to lend support. i posted the same above to this thread as well:

Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks everyone for your responses. I'm no spring chicken with internet scams. I did the obvious thing anyone would do ahead of knowing this board even existed. I googled 'bitcoin casinos'. And beyond the likely paid promo sites that i had to wade through, i found this post on this forum, which to date has seen only my recent reply as the only negative comment about them.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=462479.0

As you will see, i also posted a reply to the thread above.

I didn't know there was a rating system in place here. I have learned plenty about how to ID more legit sites since this experience, but to those that snicker or think its another example of a fool and his money parting, I based my decision partly on any lack of negative feedback from this board, following the site promoting themselves in the thread above.

Later, when searching for other posts about bitbet.com being a scam, It's a little noisy, because there's lots of people talking about bitbet.US, and you see all kinds of complaints and support.

I deposited .10 BTC on bitbet.com, requested a cashout for roughly the same as was deposited, and have not received any kind of payout. Despite multiple status inquiries, I have not received any contact or payout. A transcript of a chat session is copied below. Keep in mind, this is a cashout of .10 BTC - we're not talking a lot. If they can't handle .10 BTC...

Given the delay, the multiple inquires that turned up flat, what reasonable person could read the below, and feel confident they were dealing with an honest company?
