I am Drawing attention of all to take a right action against This Project.
We can't do much more than just warn others (at least raise a flag for their forum representative accounts, or try to stop their promotion here). If there is substantial loss on your side, immediately report it to the local authorities for further action.

Finally gave a read and peek a little here and there. Orpichukwu gave a very nice brief summary of what happened. Their telegram bounty channel is a ghost town. They have no representative here, other than the BM who no longer active, no ANN, so there's no way to flag the project.

Yes of course I think this project team has knowingly corrupted our bounty hunters

OP, there is no possible way to tag them, they don't have a representative here, unless I am mistaken? How much did they owe the bounty participants for 2nd round of distribution?

They're trading on P2B [formerly p2pb2b], with 24h trading volume $886,000+, I won't be surprised if it's a trading bot activity and not an organic volume.
1022  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BC.game asking me to lose intentionally, then confiscating funds on: October 08, 2023, 04:49:54 PM
Still no solution! BC.game on this forum has been offline for 3 weeks....I just don't get it....he looked willing to solve the situation and then just disappears.....

Has it been solved? BC's representative came back online today to address a situation on the other thread. I can send them another PM [if you haven't already] to remind them to give a follow up about this case if it hadn't cleared

No! He sent me a PM yesterday and said he was told by management the situation was resolved.....but my balance is still zero, and I received no emails at all.....zero sign of things being resolved. I don't know what BC.game is trying to pull here....at the very least their communication is terrible.

How about now? Someone else on other thread [the one I mentioned above] got an update from BC's representative [05 October] and didn't get any development until yesterday [07 October] and everything is solved today. His case is closed. If you haven't, as you've been in PM with them, I think me sending them another PM will a bit redundant, but if you would like me to, I don't mind doing it, to push them about this matter.
1023  Economy / Reputation / Re: In Defense of Retaliation-Inspired PMs and Royse777 Camp Management's Reputation on: October 08, 2023, 04:32:35 PM
A tad bit late [or very much late] to give my comment here, as I've been wanting to wrote something about my experience working together with this BM for a long time, and I personally think Royse is one of a bounty manager [or management] that goes to a length to promote projects.

Not only he reviewed and criticize each of the participants weekly to ensure the participants maintain certain quality and thus benefitting the projects that hires his campaign management, he also tailored everything to ensure maximum exposure of the project he promoted. He does a lot, but I'll emphasize on the criticising each participant, because I think there's not much campaign manager who do this and I'm still in awe up to these days. He literally read each post, measured their quality and what to improve, give a fair warning for those low-quality posters to improve their posts, and when they keep failing, replacing them with better posters.

Below is just a sample of how he analyze posts. I picked this simply because this one have his username on it, to prove that it is not another manager's spreadsheet. If anyone wanted to look, there are more pages like this on his spreadsheets, with even more comments and inputs to each of his participants, usually on the earlier part of a campaign when he has to tailor the group, hand-picking, accepting enrollment, selecting, and eliminating participants to better fit the campaign they promoted, and then everything will sail smoothly.



tl;dr: you're in a good hand if you have Royse777 as your manager. And I am saying this to both project owner and campaign participants.

What is $10 to one person may be 1 Bitcoin to another so once again your logic is flawed as the amount doesn’t change right and wrong and certainly doesn’t mean I burdon the entire blame.
No, the amount doesn't matter, and that wasn't the point of the post. What matters is your mistake in gambling with an amount you didn't want to lose, hence this flawed scam accusation.

Perhaps your bias because you can’t imagine yourself ever having, let alone betting 1 Bitcoin so there’s a sense of spite? I’m not sure but that’s what I’m starting to feel based i. Your language and views throughout this discussion.
No, it's not spite or jealousy, or the lack of a decent amount of collected BTC during the years. You can try to turn this into something personal of me against you but it's not going to work. Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose and then come here to say, you know what, I shouldn't have been allowed to gamble in the first place, so I want my money back.

It's your responsibility to adhere to the laws of the territory you reside in. If Australia prohibits online gambling in unlicensed online casinos, you are the one that needs to ensure where you can and can't play regardless of what anyone tells you on the street, online, or via marketing materials. You broke your nations gambling laws.

Here are two points you might find interesting from Cloudbet's T&Cs:
Quote
5.2. You have full capacity to enter into a legally binding agreement with us and you are not restricted by any form of limited legal capacity.
5.3. You understand that by using our services you may lose Cryptocurrency on bets placed, poker and casino games and accept that you are fully responsible for any such loss.
https://www.cloudbet.com/en/help/terms



Let me correct you here. It’s both mine and the operators responsibility to abide by the laws of my jurisdiction (this is also included in Cloudbets Curacao license fyi).
They lied that they were legal, licensed and compliant - which ultimately lead to me signing up so although I share responsibility - that argument becomes flawed given I was fooled into a false representation by the operator.

You also called this a “flawed” scam accusation.
The meaning of scam is a dishonest scheme for your own gain. This is not a flawed scam accusation, I’ve submitted enough evidence and screenshots to prove Cloudbets dishonesty. Perhaps the reason you keep challenging is that you havnt grasped the meaning of a scam to begin with.

Also, The terms and conditions you sent becomes invalid when your actively lured into breaking those exact terms you shared by the operator who set them..



This whole scam accusation thread, and the condition you're in, will not exist if you didn't sign up with them on the first place, realizing that you shouldn't be able to play on them legally due to your own self-exclusion. You said that you have no bad intention when you sign up, then can you tell everybody here why did you still signed up although you know there's a restriction against you playing that you set yourself? And, as you stated yourself, you won't complain if you win.

How is that not a bad faith? You read an advertisement, you know you can't play, still play anyway. If you won and managed to withdraw your winning, you won't complain, if you experienced an issue, you'll... well, here we are.

So yeah, this whole scam accusation is flawed, you raise it simply because you lose on the "game" you tried to play them.

Sounds like HYIP or ponzi to me, making six times of initial investment in few days. I agree that you got lucky with your withdrawal, leave when you still can and don't suggest any of your friends to invest on that platform. I took a peek through their website and I can't see if they're a registered company on both website, and these statements on profxonlinetrading is definitely worrying



Or how they implied they've been around since 2016, but their website was just from around last year.

1026  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: PDX Coin is a Scam Project 🚫🚫 on: October 08, 2023, 12:20:31 PM
Haven't read and look too deep for this project, but one thing caught my eyes, their burn address... is not ERC burn address, if the developers have the private key to that wallet, the 4.5B token "burnt" there were rather meaningless, as they can retrieve it at anytime.

Ok. We have not rised and gaining as so much demand as that, sales this days works better for meme, and other kind of stuffs. We are making Demo totaly alive in 1/2 days and should be working like in real environment. We start taking a old coin that the original dev have abandoned, and we turn it in adon, and is another project that we are doing a swap and suppirting, but we are not the original builder of this project.

Adonx we have done a first fundrise two years ago, from that we have build the exchanger, is ready to go live, but we can support it with that funds we get, we also are investing hard from our pockets to do it, also our time. Adonx is our original project.  

We are not here to try to scam, we want to do things right.

I think we're talking about way too many tokens at the same post here. Which one is it that doesn't gain enough demands? The adonx v.2? And to be clear with the previous projects, you bought adon from a developer, then deemed it failed, then raised your own new project called adonx?

Hello, @puntcom

before publishing the page (puntscam.com) publicly, I suggest you make an agreement once again.

I agree to 30% payouts of my winnings and undertake to delete the bitcointalk.org thread and all posts about you, as well as transfer the [darkness swallows the link] domain to your ownership.

I will wait for your reply within 24 hours!

As my last post stated, as annoying as it is, Punt did not scam you. You breached their ToS and it's within their right to take the action they took against your account. What you offered here is borderline coercing them, I'll advise you to refrain from it.
1029  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Stake false tranaction not found on: October 07, 2023, 04:47:16 PM
OP did ask for withdrawal, the problem was his transaction got stuck and didn't go through. But judging from his silence and inactivity [nearly a month], I can assume it finally arrived into his wallet.
Sometimes transaction may take a few times to show its transaction id and also, it may remain pending so it may happen. But I think OP, OP is trying to say the withdrawal request has not been made by the OP. It is a matter of sorrow that the maximum scam accusation thread was left by the OP whose account is a newbie. As a result, we can't get any updates from the thread creator.

Nope, read the thread again. The link OP gave on his opening post was obsolete, but I preserved it through talkimg, it's OP's chat with their live support, complaining that his transaction didn't go through, a proof that the withdrawal request was made by OP

1030  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Be careful] False referral systems for the phishing domains on: October 06, 2023, 07:22:56 PM
The OP here promotes betting site. Isn't betting worse than ponzi? And I just liked the referral scheme and wanted to make a simpler + fully automated version of it.

Let's stay focused on your project here, shall we? So, to summarize, your project is a ponzi scheme, modelled after a notorious platform that scammed 340 million USD, and it offers no other purpose than that? Of course, not mentioning [hopefully] brings you some bags of fortune on its process through the sign-up fee.
1031  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] SINBAD.IO [Mix Your BTC Quickly] Signature Campaign | Up-to $225/w on: October 06, 2023, 06:25:30 PM
Not that I'm not happy with the new payrate, but... will it hurts the campaign budget in terms of duration? I think it'll be very much preferrable as well as showing good reputation for Sinbad across the forum if they can have longer campaign weeks rather than higher [or highest, I think we are the highest right now, no?] weekly payment. i.e., suppose if we reserve to the old payment scheme we can hold it to 100 weeks, and this new scheme made us can only go for 75 weeks, I think, reputation wise, ceteris paribus, the 100 weeks is better.

holydarkness became the first man to down pay rise, I get your viewpoint, but we're getting paid for our worth, and if you don't like the new pay rates, you can always ask Royse to pay you the old one Grin. The new payrates elevate the campaign to the second highest on the forum. Cheers!

Oh LOL no, not turning down the new payrate at all, hence I said "not that I'm not happy with they new payrate", I simply concerned if it'll drain their budget sooner than the initial plan, but I guess examplen's explanation made sense, with better marketing [our way to "payback" the high payrate] through better posts, they'll gather more users and could allocate more to the campaign budget.
1032  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Stake false tranaction not found on: October 06, 2023, 05:22:10 PM
You have requested the withdrawal from your Stake account, isn't it?
Based on the story of the OP, OP has not requested any withdrawal. I think this transaction has occurred as the OP has become hacked by the hacker and the fund has gone to the hacker. Another issue was the transaction wasn't found in the blockchain.

OP did ask for withdrawal, the problem was his transaction got stuck and didn't go through. But judging from his silence and inactivity [nearly a month], I can assume it finally arrived into his wallet.
1033  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: stake.com and Casino.guru coverup. on: October 06, 2023, 05:18:36 PM
an automated system won’t add codes on themselves and a manipulated system will add codes to prove its manipulated in the back end,
a fair casino wont delete bets


They are not adding codes by themselves, if I have to guess [because I am not Stake's staff], Stake has two log system, the short and the long version. Each betID were recorded with either of the version randomly. May I remind and point it out to you, again, that the log --be it long or short-- doesn't change the outcome, the field are still on the same one determined on the beginning of the bet session.

And the casino didn't delete betID, they archieved them.

Every early adopter is getting according, we have product, so we need funds for run it, the supply increases from 21Million to 100 Million, and the soft cap and hard cap are much lower that previus, with what we have in hands even a averange investor can profit maybe a lot with

Not... the point I failed to grasp.

Here's what I have in mind, your platform offers exchange, escrow, payment service, and others, correct? And you said it's gaining demand. Wouldn't that imply with profit earned from offering your services, you'll be able to get the funds for whatever plan you have? And do I understand that it is not the first time it got rebranded? First we have adon, then adonx, and then adonx v.2?

So, this is the rough chronological narrative: your friend created rollbit account last year, got limited from months ago, never played on rollbit again because of it, and ultimately deleted his account last month, in September. On July this year, you created an account and start betting, and earlier this month, your account somehow got banned? Do we know exactly when did your friend's account got limited and why?

I hope this will make you all happy.

We have a changed pay rate. It was done after observing the current ecosystem to offer a better rewarding for our loyal members who are helping Sinbad project from months now.

Merit rank (Above 3.5K Earned Merit): Weekly paid post up-to 40. 1st 25 posts at $6.00 per post, the rest at $5.00 per post
Legendary/Hero: Weekly paid post up-to 40. 1st 25 posts at $4.50 per post, the rest at $3.50 per post

This new rate will be affective from the next pay day.

Let me know your feedback.

Not that I'm not happy with the new payrate, but... will it hurts the campaign budget in terms of duration?

I don't think I understand, you had your token sale on your v.1, and then you create your v.2 because you have a growing demand, but you add another token sale for it? Why?


We've made some changes to the project, increased the supply, have a live demo product, and need to raise some additional funds. There's an ongoing swap for early buyers to exchange their v1 tokens for v2 while we're concurrently conducting a token sale.

So, let me get this straight, your platform is growing in demand, so instead of making funds from the earned profit, you decided to do another token sale? With more supplies, and a "different" token?

No, we have just launch a demo, in the last sale we don't rise that so much, this is why, the token is the same, we just upgrade

I... got even more confused. You launched a demo, you didn't raise much fund on the last token sale, and then, later on, your demands raise, so you decide to "upgrade" the token to do another sale? Wouldn't the statement that your demand is growing implies you'll begin to generate profit with that current state? And do I understand correctly that by "upgrade", you mean you just add more total supply [aside from the new contract address, of course]?
1038  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet scammed me for 1BTC on: October 05, 2023, 04:07:59 PM
Based on that logic, anyone who is  tricked or fooled into giving another party money based on false representations doesn’t deserve to get their money back.
The fact that the suspect lied to them and deceived them should not be tied to the fact their money is gone.
All scam victims must look in a mirror and accept their fate, and all scam suspect shall be forgiven.


Depends on the detail of the case, either they do or they don't. When people are strictly fooled by the promotion, then I believe they deserve their money back. Your case, though, IMHO and sadly, no, because your case is not an innocent who got tricked by a promotion. As I --and Pmalek-- said before, Cloudbet's marketing and your situation should be treated as two different case.

Your case is about someone who realized he got himself a loophole and tried to manipulate it. Can you tell me in all honesty that you were compelled to play without fully realizing you shouldn't be able play there due to your own self-exclusion? As someone who take a length to be ID-based self-excluded, I believe you were not that naive that you didn't realize the implication of those marketing. And, if you do realize the implication and still played anyway, who's the victim now?

I’m not sure where you reside, but in australia - that gets you jailed. Also in a civil court matter, the only person held liable is the person who lied.
I’m sure in your jurisdiction it’s the same, might wanna have a look.

And... who lied to who here, again?

1040  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Cloudbet scammed me for 1BTC on: October 05, 2023, 11:22:02 AM
I didn’t self exclude from each of them manually, there’s a form that gets submitted directly to the regulator.

It’s important to note that exclusions in Australia are not IP related or anything like that. You are basically unable to verify an account given that your identification will flag the exclusion.
OK, so you are fully aware that you wouldn't be able to register and verify your account on any regulated online casino in Australia. So what does a person who wants to gamble do in that situation? One way to get around that would be to register on a gambling site that isn't subject to Australian regulations. If you believed Cloudbet's words and marketing that they are licensed and fully regulated in Australia, why then would you sign up when you know that you can't verify your account and get your money in the end? It makes no sense.

You are again targeting my mistake and lapse of judgement which I never denied. The only thing I could possibly respond to that with is I’m a previous problem gambler as well as someone who is medically deemed psychologically permanently incapacitated with mental health problems- it has prevented me from working a job for 14 months. So yes I did create an account and deposited under those circumstances.

That does NOT excuse  Cloudbet from false advertisements, lies told by their operators and the  manipulation of users to inevitably breach their terms and conditions, which should be seen none other than exploitation and scam practice.

That makes you dealing in bad faith.

There's a chance if a casino outside Australia's jurisdiction accept you and you lost significant bet, you'll quite likely complained that you lost hefty sum of fund on that casino despite you've made yourself self-excluded by Australian govt. and that casino should never be allowed to accept your registration as you've been ID-blacklisted by your govt. Thus, suing them just like this case.

For this case, though, the possibility of dealing in bad faith is even worse. You know you're forbidden by your govt., you've made sure you're self-excluded from any gambling casino with Australian jurisdiction, so Cloudbet's false advertisement "shouldn't be" matter as you should have know you'll ended up never being able to play with them. Suppose you didn't lose your bet, you win, and then on withdrawal phase you're forbidden from playing because they identified your self-exclusion after KYC, you'll still come here with the same complaint, this time the thread will titled "cloudbet refused my 1 BTC withdrawal". If you play, win, and managed to successfully WD, though, it'll be just like you admitted,

[...]
Some guy inboxed me before asking, would you be complaining if you won. Not at all, however as per the reddit post I referred to, cloudbet initiate KYC after substantial wins and void bets if found to be playing from a prohibited jurisdiction. So I may have won, but who’s to say I would have actually been able to get my hands on it.

Was it not dealing in a bad faith? If you won and managed to WD, you won't be complaining. If you won and couldn't WD due to the KYC, you'll say they cheated you because you can't get your hand on it. If you lose, even without the false advertisement, you'll say they shouldn't allow you to play due to the nation-wide self-exclusion. The compulsion of the mislading advertisement is not necessary element here, you should have known that you can't play on that casino, no matter what, due to your ID-based self-exclusion. So, why did you?

I won't say Cloudbet didn't do wrong with the advertisement and jurisdiction, but I agree with what Pmalek said earlier on this thread, that Cloudbet's advertisement and your case should be separate case.
