In Conclusion: The crypto industry deserves platforms that uphold its values. My experience with Bons.com is a cautionary tale I felt obligated to share. I hope it aids fellow members in making informed choices and would love to hear from those who've had similar encounters.

If you using (Trustpilots) for the reviewer.

It's not a good option, there has some service provided a fake review on these platform. As always, since you are new (lesson has been learned) the most recommended suggestion, advice, review is always from a forum.

Because you will get a good answer from a real experience user who already playing on the site.

Thanks for chiming in on my post. You've raised a very valid point about Trustpilots. It's becoming increasingly challenging to discern genuine reviews from the fabricated ones on these platforms. Your perspective is precisely why I turned to this forum. I value the collective wisdom and candid experiences of community members here.

You're right; nothing beats firsthand accounts from users who've navigated these platforms themselves. Lesson indeed learned, and I'll be more cautious moving forward. I appreciate your advice and the heads-up.

Though I've been an avid follower of this forum for years, this is my first time taking the initiative to participate actively and voice my concerns. I believe that our community thrives on transparency and shared experiences, and today I aim to contribute to that collective knowledge.

1. Introduction to Bons.com: Recently, I decided to experiment with a platform named Bons.com. As an enthusiast and a believer in the potential of the crypto industry, it's disheartening to encounter platforms that seem to deviate from the principles that make our community so robust.

2. High Threshold for Withdrawals: The first red flag was their exorbitantly high withdrawal threshold of $800 in ETH. It's unreasonable, especially for newcomers in the crypto sphere.

3. Intrusive KYC Requirements: Once I tried withdrawing, I was inundated with an avalanche of KYC verifications – from basic ones to more intrusive demands like a selfie with my ID. I respect KYC as a standard, but the timing and intensity at Bons.com felt more like a tactic to deter withdrawals than a genuine security measure.

4. Hidden Charges and High Fees: The fees here are nothing short of daylight robbery. Aside from taxing deposits and withdrawals heavily, there's a staggering 10% fee on withdrawals. They even coerce users into meeting a wagering requirement to avoid this 10% fee, irrespective of whether you used any bonus.

5. Suspicious Online Reviews: My alarm bells started ringing louder when I noticed the peculiar behavior of their online reviews. Negative feedback on Trustpilot seems to vanish into thin air. This manipulation isn't isolated to just Trustpilot – many review sites, especially in the casino and sportsbook domain, seem to be swayed easily by financial incentives.

6. Affiliates, Beware!: For those contemplating affiliate marketing with Bons.com, I'd recommend a hard pass. Their terms and overall conduct are far from congenial.

7. My Future Plans: Given my experiences and observations, I'm contemplating launching a small website dedicated to unadulterated reviews. The focus will be on genuine feedback from users, including myself, without any commercial incentives or affiliate commissions. Authenticity and honesty will be at its core.

In Conclusion: The crypto industry deserves platforms that uphold its values. My experience with Bons.com is a cautionary tale I felt obligated to share. I hope it aids fellow members in making informed choices and would love to hear from those who've had similar encounters.
