Id like to thank this community for assisting me in recovering my stolen funds, I honestly thought I would just be ignored or only get 1 or 2 replies. But I am overwhelmed by the support offered by some of the people in this forum. Hopefully when this is over I can offer a few of you a reward.

thank you all, I have not forgotten my promise to reward community members who have assisted me.

I will provide a detailed update to the community on the situation tomorrow once I receive my 15 BTC.

I haven't been following this completely. But just saw the trust as negative for the sportsbet account on this forum. Did they sort it out ? I see their post, but no update beyond that for the last 3-4 days.

ExcessTest ?

No. They have asked for more documents, which I have sent them. But they have not replied to my emails for 4 days now.

The OP has posted very little proof that indeed the casino scammed him. He's been on several times and hasn't posted.

Yet you all have already become the executioners in assuming sportsbet.io has indeed scammed this guy. I find it very unlikely that they would risk their reputation over 20BTC, That is pocket change to this group. There is one guy at their casino that bets that much every hand of blackjack.

There was another guy a couple months back that won a massive 200 some bitcoins from their group and he didn't come here yelling scam. They paid him and he even come here and give massive 12.5BTC giveaway.

The OP could just be pulling wool over all your eyes to get a witch hunt against the sportsbook when in fact he could have indeed broken their terms by providing false information and identification.

After more thinking about it and his silence. I'm not buying it.

Unless he can prove otherwise that he in fact uploaded legitimate IDs and utility bills and he didnt break any other term then he is guilty until proven innocent just like you all have given guilt to sportsbet without knowing facts.

Also its very suspicious he deposits 15btc only to make a few btc profit and leave? 

He has some explaining to do before I can believe hes 100% innocent and the casino scammed him.

Hi Trayber,

I have provided all the proof I have access to that the casino has refused to issue my withdrawal and closed my account. I do not understand how you expect me provide proof I uploaded legitimate IDs. Would you like me upload them on a public forum? Have you not heard of identity theft? If you can tell me how I can provide proof I violated no terms, then I will do so, but seeing as I don't even have access to my account it is a bit difficult. I deposited 15 btc, played for a few hours, made it to about 25 btc at one stage and then ended up on 21.5 BTC and decided that was enough. It's not like 6.5 BTC ($8k USD) winnings is an insignificant amount anyway, I'm not an aggressive gambler who tries to win 4-5x his money back.

I did not reply sooner to your message because I have been checking on my mobile and did not have the time to write a reply. Honestly I do not even know what I am being accused of and sportsbet.io refuses to tell me. I understand you are a skeptic but I have presented you with all the facts I can, and sportsbet has refused to present any, not even to me. Why do you think that is?

Thank you for getting back to me.

Did you take any screenshots when you were able to still log in of your deposits/withdrawls?

Like I've said, I have played with this group for over 2 years and never been stiffed a payment nor have many others experienced any problems. So this is interesting to say the least.

If you have accurately described everything to be 100% truthful then I'll try to help and give you a few options. You won't get very far here.


You can try filing complaints at casinomeister.com They offer a service called "pitch a bitch" where you can submit your claim and they may try to help and resolve it with a great mediator named Max. However, since this casino is not accredited over there they may not take it on. But its worth a shot. This way the casino can provide their evidence against you. If they are unwilling to communicate though it probably wont go anywhere.

As sportsbet.io suggested you can also try filing a complaint at askgamblers.com Same thing where the casino will present its evidence to a 3rd party and let them mediate and decide if you violated terms.

Lastly, askgamblers.com is another service where they will try to contact the casino on your behalf.

Please take this advice if you have told complete truth and gave correct documents when  you were asked for them and did not violate any other terms.

In any event, if you indeed made a 15BTC deposit at the least that should be returned. I don't see any reason why they should keep the deposit under most circumstances. Even if you somehow broke terms verifying your account, they should be allowed to withhold your winnings but not the deposit.

I hope you take this advice I have given you and utilize it as I've given others the same advice in similar situations where they were successfully able to resolve issues with online casinos and get paid.
 
Good Luck.


I did not take any screenshots as I had no idea I would have my account locked.

Unfortunately sportsbet.io is not listed on casinomeister or askgamblers. So I am not sure why they would suggest I open a complaint on askgamblers when I am unable to. And since they are not replying to my emails or posts here I doubt they would reply to any mediators.

WARNING

I Just had 21.5 BTC stolen from me by sportsbet.io!
First of all they asked me for KYC which I do not understand because I am a Bitcoin player, and then when I send it they say they are not sending my money anyway a quoted a bunch of terms and conditions that did not apply to me in any way!





I've responded with questions in your scam accusation thread. You've been online several times and haven't responded.

Anyways, you act a bit surprised. You deposited allegedly 15BTC, made a withdrawl over that amount and then act surprised the casino wants to know who they're dealing with? Yeah go try that with any other sports book withdrawling that big kind of money and see if they don't wanna see ID.

You obviously failed their verification and was very serious enough that they confiscated your money. So what kind of scam were you trying to pull?

And lastly, you seem intelligent. Did you not bother to read their terms and conditions before depositing over 15 grand? I know I sure as hell would have. Expensive lesson learned here bro, next time read the fine print.

Again rep has been online and ignored my post.
Make a scam accusation here and make sure you put all your proof there. Then email their support team and ask them if they are aware of said accusation and that their entire company will be branded as a scam if they do not resolve this.
Based on previous problems other users had with sportsbet (such as this*), that should be enough to get them to respond to you unless they want a red reputation.

*it seems the op has deleted his accusation. However, I've found the same accusation quoted by another user.

I have now made an accusation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1863248.0

thank you

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=832366
Amount Scammed: 21.5 BTC
Payment Method: Bitcoin

Hi,

I made a deposit of 15 BTC to sportsbet.io and managed to win another 6.5 BTC on top of it for a total of 21.5 BTC. However, when I tried to withdraw I recieved a message that my account was under a temporary security review and to try again in 12 hours. After 12 hours I attempted to withdraw again and was told I must provide KYC documents in order to get my withdrawal! I am bitcoin only player and as you all should know there is no reason for them to request KYC apart from delaying my withdrawal.

So I sent KYC documents to them and they then told me they were not going to send my withdrawal anyway! they closed my account and quoted a bunch of terms and conditions that did not apply to me in any way.

You can view the emails and posts I've already made below:

As you can see the sportsbet rep account has been online and ignored my message. They have no reason for why they closed my account, took my 21.5 BTC or asked for KYC so they will not respond. They have also not replied to my emails. the equivalent of $25k USD taken with no explanation. Disgusting.

Chrome translate gives this:

Dear ingot network users:

        Since the notary credits node network is unstable, the probability of the block chain is not properly synchronized great, resulting in many users turn the normal flow of credit are invalid. So gold coins raise credits net pause notary services. We will open the first time until further notice. Please pay attention to the official announcement ingot network.

        To do this for the inconvenience, please understand.

EDIT: seems they just need to resync with the blockchain in which case we'll see a flood of FCT come out onto the other exchanges and correct the price when its done.
What is this info related to? Factom exchanges or factom proof of work?

The chinese exchange being at a price of 0.0041 BTC while western exchanges being at 0.0064 BTC

Thank you for explaining.
Do you have any idea what volume chinese exchange holds?

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/factom/#markets

46% so the correction will hit hard

Initially, it was clear that the Chinese market is fake (Chinese simply draw they needed digits), simply can not be there as many coins FCT for of such traffic as theirs. Elementary, on the Chinese exchange simply can not be such a large amount of FCT coins for their turn. Basically, all the Chinese exchanges overstate its turnover. And what can be expected from exchanges with 0% commission. Grin

If China would be so many coins FCT then the Chinese would have long ago crushed Polo exchange their coins, this is why not?
Why is the Chinese exchange nobody dumps coins FCT on Polo exchange?

What are you trying to say? That the sell orders on Yuanbao cannot be bought? I find that very unlikely.

I disagree. Do we really want millions of Chinese switching on Johnny 5?  That sounds like a recipe for market chaos if you ask me.

Oh no, a market with millions of traders creating chaos?!?!??!  Sounds like there would be a lot of volume and variance, why ever would we want that?

Sure, you guys can mock me all you want. But when CIRC suddenly goes above 120 k and the API at 'trex starts to melt from zillions of chinese traders pumping everything in site just scroll back and find this post.

Seeing as 0.5% of the total supply is required to unlock the traders panel, that makes a maximum (If the coin was spread so everyone had 0.5% each which would never happen) of 200 traders with access to the bot. not "millions" or "zillions" as you stated.

Dude read the tea leaves. Devs can - and will - change any of those figures at will if they want to allow the Chinese Hoards to swarm across the border. These devs are doing everything just right to make this the Monster Coin - you think this is not in the cards?

Zillions.




Even if they were to change the figures (which I believe should be slightly lowered) the amount of people with access to the bot would never be anywhere close to the figures you are suggesting. If i had to guess id say no more than 1000 people would have access to the bot at one time.

UPDATE:

If the Community including the ones who nearly never post as well as those who have
been more vocal and still have not contributed stepped forward discretely or otherwise
and each donated .01BTC to .2BTC we'd have more than enough for this wallet work
and the next. These are not big dollar amounts we are talking about in regard to
what you have invested into Korecoin.
There is no better way to get an ROI/Return for Your Investment.
The alternative is Korecoin is left to die along with what you have already invested.


EDIT:
Just received another email from the Coder and hope to have a meeting soon to finalize the scope of work,
pricing and expect to send them a down payment soon.
The route we are going is a better one and will most likely cost more than what is stated below.
We need to at least meet the goal below and we are about 2BTC short.


There is 1.35944 BTC in the donation address already and 0.18472075 BTC in the old Escrow address which I donated for a total of 1.54436075 BTC. Leaving a required balance of (1.629 - 2.449 BTC)
Near half way there.

BTC Donation Address: 13xcUHggtpUcip2bZT4wd9FcK3PENNv3oD

Just sent 0.018 BTC, hope we can reach the goal
