I want to know what happened to the original owners. Good or bad.

This is disturbing, I can see the website using various tools but no more DNS expiration. 0.o

Now that we are in rug pull mode, the only deadline left is next month. I'm curious to see how this all concludes. The expiry of the domain.

At this point I think the OGs like me are here documenting the death of for what was a long time an amazing project. I started my Bitcoin Journey with freebitco. The website was responsible for some of my happiest days and provided me a huge lifeline during covid.

I'm sad to see that the leadership behind the scenes is failing not only their clientele, but the world.

I can only hope some other project formed here or elsewhere will continue the legacy in some way.

The simple education of how to use Bitcoin with some carrots and games was the perfect way to make it fun, interesting, and useful.

I doubt with us at the "rug pull" phase that it will return to trustworthiness.

I'm just hoping that more peoples bitcoin withdrawals will be honored as we go forward. However we are now approaching the hard wall of the site renewal.

Anyone reading this please report any changes so we can help anyone looking here for information.

The only other platform that seems to be worth its salt is NEXO. They have a daily tick and compound of savings. For the Americans in the group they will be returning. They survived all of the corrupt purging by Gary Gensler and the SEC.


That is the closest I've seen to a saving vehicle for Bitcoin.

However....don't forget that you are still lending out your hard earned BTC and if anything happens to the platform you will have to wait and see.

It's not a casino. but the saving rates are high. NEXO said they are trying to return this year.

On another note, if you are looking for custodied savings. Staking coins are a no to low risk option.

I would agree with this assessment. 100%

It seems the rug is finally being pulled. Thankfully the long time users have been warning people for ages to take their sums off.


pending withdrawal for about a week now. (small amount just testing.)

Sadly another nail in the coffin. Whoever is behind the site either doesn't have their crap together, or they have no intention of continuing the legacy.

I'm going to send an instant BTC payment to my wallet and see what happens. Update after a run around the block.

Update:
Yep definitely slower. Currently pending. Fast payments worked until recently.

You know it's so funny, my trust profile has nothing to do with this site and very much so predatory judgmental people on this forum for ignorance on an issue literally years ago. I wasn't doing anything malicious, people pounced on me for not knowing why a topic was bad or misinformed.

For your information I've been advocating for people to take their money OFF the site, but if you want to jump to conclusions just because this specific thread cuts both ways.

Look at the posts of people the past year. Many don't even truly specify their problem correctly or can even spell to articulate the issue. That's all i'm saying.

My god people can be petty on this forum. Missing the forest for the trees I guess.

The problem with many of these assessments is that for years the owners of this site have been battling users from countries actively setting up account farms that drain the site. No one I have ever met, seen or referred has ever had issues with the site until last year.

In short, there are malevolent and negligent actors on all sides of this issue. Many of them typing in this thread don't include screen shots, or how they came to their conclusion. Don't forget the Bitcoin mantra. Don't trust, veriufy.

Back when ninja wallet was active Freebitco was on the list of wallets being watched on tor. I can't provide the screen shot because the service is down.

We think the site is under new management or doesn't have the right people on the back end. That's all we can try to know. I'm open to better proof than this.

It doesn't help that users aren't always specifying what they are withdrawing. Fun VS BTC and at what rate. Weekly, daily or fast withdrawal.

So far the site DNS Expires on October 10th. So I recommend getting any funds away from the site a month before just in case if you already haven't due to the issues.

Processed!

I'm more worried about other users/ lurkers in this forum. Just giving my viewpoint for the community. No biggie.

Instant pay out around a day old and not processed. I'll keep track of it on here!

If payouts start being affected, then the site has started a bank run on themselves. If they don't have the capitol then this is the end.

I had a "loseable" amount on the site but now i'm pulling everything out ASAP. Thankfully it's not a lot either way haha.

Don't forget that every time someone posts on this forum they leave a date and time stamp and possibly a trace to their IP Address. Considering they have little or no KYC and Bitcoin hit 100k, that is dangerous to the site.

All you have to do to avoid this is add a few hops and pay your taxes. Easy. They just don't want drug dealers and felons money laundering. If you don't fall under that category then it's not illegal to gamble online.

I'm not trying to discount or contradict anyones experience.

However, if you select the normal withdrawal feature, the timing can take longer than the allotted time. This has been true since before the issues. Same with the fast withdrawal.

So again, when I see members with not that many posts, I analyze what they say carefully.

If the scenario lasts for say 3 days.... then I would be more worried.

Testing right now, i'll give it an hour or so. If nothing is wrong i'll edit this post.


Edit: Working fine for me. Make sure, you're withdrawing BTC and not FUN.

Also some amounts and regions are sent up to admin for direct approval.
