That's why I was confused. My fault for making assumptions, but I figured the account would get nuked and all spam PM's with it. I've only encountered the situation a few times so I'm definitely fuzzy on the details. Now I have some questions so, off to meta I go. Edit: Feel free to ask more questions I may have forgot.

Considering they have banned someone old as dirt, in forum years for sending PM's en masse, arguably less atrocious if given context. Once again a business personality received a small break for stepping toes out of line. Can't figure out why a farmed spam PM account is dodging bullets. Maybe an oversight

I may have misread and interpreted what you wrote first off. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt in that you aren't suggesting I'm some rando shill or something or that I took a 10$ kickback to promote the coin by simply openly and transparently letting OP know I would pass along the "reward".

I am nothing to Roger and I doubt he recalls the last time we spoke on forum, when I addressed the second part of your post. I was a newbie when his fork happened, and I was very clear about my feelings on the matter. Either way off-topic for here. I simply understand that he still cares about his account on this forum to some extent. So i figured if nothing else send a PM, I didn't expect a response but received one that seems to be an overall positive.

Either way as  I said I'll be in touch with OP, sometime next week.

Unless it is stated in their TOS that getting upset and posting about it on social media will result in all funds being confiscated and the account will be closed; Op is entitled to their winnings.

I'm going to wait and see if Adkins responds here before going any further, as there could be more to the story.

---

A company does have the right to end the service agreement, but that does not entitle them to confiscate the funds. Unless something else is presented I would expect you to be paid and then have your account closed.

Sorry to hear, that's pretty F'd up they still aren't willing to sort this out.

Even though your "tactics" were troublesome well say, it shouldn't change the fact that they can and should make you whole. I use them as my "spend" wallet for most things or to load up when I travelled in case the opportunity presented itself to spend some BTC.

I guess I'm not to worried about winding up in the same situation, as I've avoided Google 2fa like the plague, and shouldn't really run into a situation where I can't recover access to my 2fa option. It is still shitty to see that they are not providing consistent support to sort this with you.

EdIt:


Just looking over there FAQ's as it's been a while, shouldn't this allow them to reset your 2fa... or anyone who had copied it down off reddit in reality.

I got hit with this on the 6th I believe, I immediately just reported it and forgot about it. Reading your post I checked and noticed it was still in my inbox (always thought the forum removed them) so I reported it again as the user account still seems to exist. Same "code" slightly different wording in my PM

Seeing as they had no posts and only PM's I expected them to have been nuked by now. This was my winner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2895827

The one upside to this is that Bump services on that board will do nothing to keep it visible. theymos implemented a bump feature, visible in the top right along with reply and whatnot. Apart from the bumping is there more to the scam accusation at this point, or just highly expected?

So if nothing else they are wasting their money, while not disturbing others or gaining visibility.

Just dropping this here. I reached out to Roger last night and he responded to me in PM. He is going to be bringing this up with his Editor, to hopefully prevent this in the future.

OP

I'll reach out next week, and provide you with the 10$ in BCH that I was provided for bringing it to his attention. I would have already done it but I've never dealt with BCH so it'll take me a few days until I'm off work to access it and send it your way.

Hey there,

If you want to PM me your Account name and ID, I can escalate your issue and see what can be done. There are also more direct methods of contacting customer service support.

1 - Live Chat is now active on the Betnomi.com site
2 - You can join the Telegram chat, which generally has a decent response time as well.  

If they can't help you they'll be able to escalate issues further.

As I stated in my first response it is a placeholder. The reason for posting it immediately after the OP, is to reserve the spot for future use sometimes it's only the second post position, some people will reserve a couple spaces.

It unfortunately seems common practice on the forum for many users to not read the OP, or then digest the rest of the thread before they post.

Now if people actually read the OP, then scroll down to read the thread before posting they will come across these "RESERVED" posts - but let's say it's been a month since the OP was written, and maybe there have been changes made. If the poster feels it is necessary, useful or helpful they might log these changes in the post that was formerly just "RESERVED"

You have probably already read some topics that have used this strategy, because they don't always leave "RESERVED" in the post after editing in whatever they deemed relevant.

Others have also pointed out another possible reason for doing it, which is to purposefully but out of necessity(This is subjective) multipost an OP that benefits from being broken up.

I might be misunderstanding but, Roger is responsible for everything that site says and does. I know they are nothing more than another regurgitating "news" site but he still bears responsibility for poor internal practices.

I sent him a PM regardless. He came back last year because he noticed something happened to one of his old threads, it was a pretty funny overreaction at the time. He also still logs in as you can see by his last active date, so if nothing else this forum can still be a decent way to let him know where his site is falling short of what is expected.

I'll give him credit for that much at least, he still responds or reads what's going on in the nosebleeds.

It is a placeholder. Some people will log updates or changes to the OP in that post, others will use it to archive or link to interesting posts that come up later in a topic. There can be a lot of reasons for doing it. I can't say why that particular user is doing it, though their reasoning could be buried under 3000 characters.

Just a reminder don't miss out on the sponsored value here on forum.

These odds are nice for a standard idea around the possibility of what your hand could be at showdown. Problem is you aren't always getting to showdown. More often than not someone is folding out well before, and you often don't get to realize your equity, on say straight or flush draws, then there's hands you don't really chase you just luck into, like a boat(Full House) or quads (Four of a kind) and Straight Flushes.

One of the odds people often look to hit on the flop apart from a decent pair are Set mining with a pocket pair looking to hit 1 of 2 remaining cards on the flop approximately 12%. It's such a killer of a hand if it's a middle to low pocket pair to begin with.

Odds are great, but ranges are way more important once you progress in the game.

We do hold a tournament series made up entirely of forum users on Betnomi every Sunday - Really nice sponsored prizepool at the moment. Always looking for more members to join.

Odds are I won't be making it this weekend. It's right in the middle of a long stretch of nights and that's just pushing it.

Pokerwise you won't have any issues using a VPN. I do believe when/if you go to withdraw you do have to have filled in your account personal "information", this can be anything though as there is currently no mandatory KYC. Their KYC policy only comes into place for suspected multi-accounting and/or "jackpot" type prizes - no specified amount. If you do run into any issue just shoot me or even the Betnomi account a PM here on forum to get it sorted out.

It looks that way, I tried to log in before work quick and forgot which email I used. I'll try again with a few emails tonight if not I guess I'll have to fire off an email in the morning.

I remember watching this a bit back then, I always just assumed this deal had happened and never thought on it any further. Where you guys just unable to meet on a price or was it the timing of it all.

Either way good luck with the sale or peeling wherever this ends.

Just popping in to say thanks for the smooth and succesful trade.
Good advice in general. This was a risk I was willing to take, LoyceV explained it perfectly.

Thanks 1miau

I made it in. I think we are at 11 including me. I'll try and stay awake as I'm back on a nightshift schedule lol.

Good Luck everyone

There's tons of sites to play poker. It's hard to help you without some inkling of what you are looking for. What stakes do you play? What game type are you looking for? Is this heads-up, full ring or something in between? Finally cash or tournament.

The level of player is going to vary, you will find good and bad at most stakes.

For Crypto deposits I've played the following and always found decent action: Americas Cardroom, GGpoker. SWC seems to be slowing down but still has a decent amount of tables and games running, Betnomi poker, and depending on your timezone has some tournaments with a decent overlay while they grow.
