LOL, I was very close to post something just like this yesterday, almost word-for-word with your first two sentences, but decided against posting it.


Yes, Steve posted something here, that he'll look into it as he's not quite agree with confiscating all the funds. Granted, it took several weeks to be cleared, that made me think what he found must be in an agreement with the decision made by sportsbet's security team's verdict, thus his silence. I guess I was wrong and he just had a ton on his plates that he needed more time to personally attend to this case.

All in all, I'm glad this case is closed and SB once again prove that they took concern in their customer's complaints.

For OP, I am looking forward to your case with playbetr. Please made a separate topic with proper evidences, lock this thread and mark it as solved.

Who? Khaled0111? Yes, he's the owner. See that "d" that stands between the "e" and "0" on his username? That stands for Daniel.

Listen, you're raising an accusation against other entity, you're expected to provide information and details. You can't expect people to blindly take your story without proper evidences, this is not how the scam accusation board works. We scrutinize over details here, asking both parties to give their sides with supporting evidences.

Above me bustabit representative has given their answer. Amongst the long post exchanged between you and them, I understand correctly that your deposit did not went through, i.e. never goes into their wallet and never got any confirmation on blockchain? Can you please at least refute this by providing us the TX ID for that said deposit?

I think OP is referring to this one, https://www.maverickgames.com/, if I am correct, then they have an account here, MaverickGames

OP, please add more supporting evidences to your opening post and confirm if we're talking about the same entity so I can invite them over to this thread to give their piece of story.

If I may offer any consolation, since he's no longer on DT, be it DT1 or DT2, his feedback will not appear on your profile or anyone looking at your profile, unless for those who put him on their trust list. As you can see on the screenshots below, for the public and most members' eyes, his feedback is "hidden" by the "untrusted feedback" button and your trust score only reflect those on current DT system.

Correct link to the flag is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3178.

You might want to edit your opening post and add the link to the flag above, it'll help anyone supporting or opposing the flag to find it easier compared to if they have to dig into a post within several pages deep.

I am refraining from supporting --or opposing-- the flag for the time being, but you can always seek for other's support or opposition here

If I may jump in, you can get a "direct link" to the message by clicking the top right side of the post you want to be referenced. For example, if I want to use your post as a reference link, I'll right-click that "#16" --marked in green box-- and copy the link.



I hope you didn't have to get to this in the future, but suppose you lend another money to another user and they got defaulted again, or suppose you're raising a flag against someone for whatever reason --not only loan default--, you can ask for support or opposition here. Examplens has done it for you for this case

Hmm... Can't promise you that, I find myself particularly fond of the stuffed pig part, LOL. Somehow an image of a squishy fluffy pink pig plushie with cherry-red dots on each cheek grinning widely kept appearing on my mind.


[gasp] why, Mr. Almeida, why? Why did you forget your alias?

OK, much that I love this banter, I think we'll get kicked out for derailing the thread if we kept on with it, LOL.

---

I am not saying this with any negative tone: why would it matter? The pace of the other thread where timelord got distrusted in matter of minutes and the amount of opposition for the flag raised against you showed that people are mostly see his feedback as invalid and see you for who you really are.

I can understand that you get offended by his feedbacks or how you have the need to post something else as rebuttal of his claim, but wouldn't it better to just leave it and ignore it? Or even put him on ignore list, if you deemed it necessary? Less stress that way. There are a lot of users --DTs, especially-- who got negative or neutral retaliatory feedbacks from people who got annoyed by them and the things they exposed, they mostly treat those feedback either like a bug or a battle scar.

I mean, for instance, look at GazetaBitcoin Stuffed Pig Plushie, he got a lot of name calling. If I'm not mistaken, he also once or twice called tabloid other than newspaper [still laughing at this creativity by our beloved ----dev] and he take it lightly. Deeply keeping the grudge, I believe --remind me to never cross path with you, dear plushie-- but he never let it ruin his day.

I'm here exclusively and solely to quote this for my personal future reference, shelved next to Newspaper and Mr. Almeida.

Hmm... the development of this drama moves in a rather quick pace. I was just finished reading the thread and the thread being referenced on the opening post and I see that both OP and alterra57 has withdrawn both of the flag and negative trust. I appreciate you both being the bigger men in the room. I am opposing the flags raised on both of you too.

I am agree to some extent and would give the benefit of doubt that Murat might be not at fault here. Factoring out the why he accepted project with details as I said above [no license, no physical office, with questionable nature of real estate] and factoring in the sum of token value if he cheated it, I can't see how he'd like to risk his reputation for token that's --as the discussion on their group implied-- going south and steadily sinking.

Nonetheless, given both side seems never responded here to give their side of story with proper evidence, and as how, up to this post was made, the TX ID promised by the admin of metropoly is yet to be shared, I think I have to dive further. I am joining the group and asking the hash as well as simultaneously reaching Murat through the DM on his TG, let's see what happen.

---

Edit: Here

Edit 2: Took some time, but here:

Conversation with Metropoly's representative





Interestingly, their website, when clicked, will redirect us to send email to what's below picture shown, a tad bit different than what's written on their page, and when an email sent to that address as the site suggested, it'll bounce.



Luckily for them, me, and all of us, I send the email to both account, to "hello" and to "admin". As I didn't get a bounce notification, I assume the email is successfully went through the "admin" address. Let's wait and see if they'll give any explanation about it

Meanwhile, or simultaneously, the minute my conversation with Metropoly on telegram ended and I am going to move the conversation to email, Murat replied me, as follows:

Conversation with Murat



Just in case Murat is in certain binding terms with the team, I am blurring the TX ID until given permission by him to share it. However, I can confirm that the TX contain what he said on the opening post of OP as well as that the entire fund is still there, so the theory that Murat somewhat run away with the fund can be refuted for the time being.

---

Edit 3: Just got a permission from Murat to publish the TX ID. The screenshot and the link as below:



https://etherscan.io/tx/0x9f13e8f313d1bf85527e1fb419fa7e459028c999fb8d6d8513d7ccea95aa5bb1

For anyone interested on researching this case further, I think you are more than welcome to conduct it with the current materials.

They're focusing on the accounts connected and that you used instead of on rule #13 is because the accounts are quite a pile. It indicated that you're --one may argue-- a prolific ban evader. The decision to lift the ban is completely on the hand of mods, although they'll quite likely listen to the community's opinion and take it to their consideration alongside with the reputation and the contribution made by the account in question.

My apology, but I have to agree with bitcoingirl, you're digging your hole, a massive one, because it is revealed that you're not only utilizing barlo and sumangs, there are couple other accounts you "borrowed" as well. One that came to my mind that perhaps could help us understand you --and from it, you helping yourself with this case-- is probably to explain why you use and borrow those accounts instead of appealing for the ban to be lifted on the first place? Why now? You said and I quote,


So you, finally, already have a plan --in a few days after the deleted post above was made-- to appeal, why didn't this initiative came to you when sumangs got banned years ago?

---

What?

I advise you to read the thread again, more carefully.

You can submit a scam accusation against them if you want, but I don't think it will mean anything in favor to your case. You see that nice bright banner above their thread? Yeah.

I rarely attending to a ban appeal on meta, but I think I'll make this one an exception as I am the one advising OP to stop posting with this current account [barlo357] and begin to do what he's been intending to do on meta, otherwise his posts will and can be considered as ban evasion.

The link given by lovesmayfamilis is the starting point of the mess that OP is currently facing. I am advising anyone who read this thread to give the link a read to get a better grasp of the situation.

As for OP, I understand correctly that your appeal here is not to lift the ban against sumangs and instead to declare and request dissociation from any other previous account, including barlo_and-I-forgot-the-dog's-name so that this current account will not and can not be considered as a ban-evasive account? ^{with these clusterfuck of accounts set aside for now as that is the last thing my head need in between this current hammering migraine}

If I may give my personal opinion, I think is that OP did not know he broke some rules. Not the burst posting or whatever it is that caused sumangs to be banned or that there is a thing called ban evasion. If I may try to put myself on OP's shoes, I think he thought when he got his account banned, he can create a new one --or inherited [re-herited?] one-- and posts normally again. Of course, this is purely my assumption, but if it's what happened, I think it is an honest and unintentional mistake, and if the paragraph above is what OP aimed to achieve from this thread, my two cents is that it worth a shot to give OP benefits of doubt and grant his wish. ^{[Again, this post is made while setting that whole clusterfuck of accounts aside]}

Okay, so, equipped with some free time at hand, I think I am going to spend it to look at this case further. The first thing I planned to do was looking for their TG group to look for any update or announcement about payment, or to ask them the TX ID myself, as the one listed on the bounty page is no longer available. So, naturally, I go to their website, straight to their contact page... and stopped right there. [archived]



Now, with their still-active tg group, I gave it a cursory look before wasting anyone's time joining the group just to ask something that's been explained or asked before, and it looks like someone already beat me to it.



It might worth to mention that the device I use to take the screenshot is a dedicated device for forum purpose, so I intentionally matched the device time with forum's local time. That said, it's been 18 hours since that "ASAP" promise. Just gonna leave these nice couple of screenshot right there for community to decide the nature of the project itself.

Nonetheless, as always, have to take every side of the story for consideration. So, for Murat, assuming you're aware of this thread's existence as you've been notified by OP, it will be very much appreciated and contributing to the case if you can provide us the TX ID yourself, given metropoly's community manager need a recalibration in the definition of "as soon as possible". If they haven't paid you in full like you claimed they hadn't --which is why you're yet to distribute the payment-- the hash could work as supporting evidence.

One of the easiest way to find out at least a glimpse of truth behind this case is looking at the bounty escrow address and/or TX ID. As the BM said on the opening post of the bounty that they have 250k of token available, worth 100k USD, for the bounty. If we assume Murat mean it's been escrowed and payment is secured, then the trace of the token's transfer will still be on their address. If we assume it's just a poorly worded sentence and that Murat was saying team is allocating 250k token, which not escrowed or being on Murat's possession, and then team said they've sent the amount in full to the BM, they can prove it by send us the TX ID.

The one lied can be --hopefully-- proven through TX ID. Had Murat or the team provide any TX ID to prove their statement?

They have; Coinzino Casino.

I am not vouching for them or trying to say they're 100% trustworthy, but there is nothing suspicious here, IMO. They used to be inactive, with the last activity was on 20th of December 2022, if I'm not mistaken. I took a tad bit longer-than-usual trip to notify them about this case, and they promptly came to this thread. The full exchange of communication can be found here. Might be worth to mention that they also replied my email, with message that's rather similar with the reply they posted here.

That will not be possible, askgamblers does not intermediating Rollbit. The only ADR I know that have Rollbit is CasinoGuru, but that is unfeasible either, CG does not intermediate sportsbet related issues, while OP's situation is sportsbetting.

---

OP, Stakemeharder, if you deemed it necessary to raise a flag against Rollbit, you can go to their trust page, next to the negative feedback there is a button to add a flag. Or, way much simpler, just click this link.

Please note that me informing you this does not translate as I'll automatically support --or oppose-- the flag, I simply writing this as bitcoingirl asked --someone-- to explain it to you and it could be an option you'd like to take before escalating to their licensor. Bear in mind that, once raised, a flag can not be withdrawn, it can only be deactivated by having no support or more opposition than support.

You both are too kind to me, I'm here just to help solve problems.

---

Nope. I haven't heard of this platform before this, but from what my chat with their help desk, I am quite certain they're not an AI. Their response looked human to me, and I don't think an AI possesses an ability to know which email was mine and to forward that specific email to their management-slash-human for further follow up.

---

OP, as you've received your full amount and --based on their representative's statement-- they've also explained to you personally about the reason behind your issue, and since you both are satisfied with the resolution made, I think it'll be best to lock this thread and mark it as solved. The button to lock the thread is at the bottom left of the page, the "option" to mark the case as solved is through editing your first post and add the word solved or its synonym to the title.

Hi, I took a glance at your gambling profile and accounts history on the other thread and would think you are a high roller. I can understand that you're frustrated and angry for the delay as high rollers are usually benefited certain privileges in one form or another. I am PMing duelbits' representative to notify them about this thread so they can attend to it. I'd like to ask you to give a little bit more patience as duelbits is currently not online and it might took time for them to notice my PM.

Meanwhile, as you have raised a scam accusation, I'd like to think that it'll be best to lock your other thread on gambling section as it will make things harder to track if someone create simultaneous threads. The lock topic button is at the bottom left of the page.



On a lighter note to brighten the... mood, 40kk is better known as 40m

I might be wrongly remember, but I think I've read some people indirectly --as in they know people who know people, and the likes-- have a "successful" result of resolution through the license provider. You never heard any of it is probably because the lack of follow-ups by the parties involved for the case, as the disputes are solved and intermediated privately, unlike ADR like CG or AG who open the discussion for public.
