I am also made aware of this thread through PM. Jannn, if your friend wanted to have an account on this forum so they can have a more direct and open discussion with 500's representative but doesn't want to pay for the evil fee, he can try to shoot LoyceV an email through

Code:
LoyceVswitzerland@protonmail.com

he can help with whitelisting proxyban. A more detailed information can be read here.

Meanwhile, for this case, I see efialtis were reaching them through email. I'll try the other way, through PM to their representative. Please give them some time to respond, they're usually quite attentive.

This seems pretty cool, but whenever I try to visit this promotion page (using my cellphone with google chrome) I get an error and it just sends me to the homepage… Will try tomorrow using a desktop computer but just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?

Tried to replicate your situation [accessing through mobile with chrome] and I can access them just fine. I didn't submit the form and accessing through incognito, though. Try to do it through incognito or clear your cache, perhaps? Or maybe enable the "desktop site" [through the kebab menu, that three vertival dots], see if it helps?

SoW is one of the standard practice of casino for AML, it's not just stake that ask for this, many other casinos also require the same for their advanced KYC verification. The whole process of this verification and why they keep rejecting things though, is not standard.

Update: This has been resolved now after I made this post and spoke to Razer (I think he/she is the owner?).

Update: My account was finally unblocked and I was allowed to withdraw and continue playing, after providing the required documents and following the steps asked by the customer support. Thanks for the help members of bitcointalk, and shoutout to Razer for helping resolve this issue.

AFAIK, Razer is one of their representative, not the owner, but yeah, he solves a lot of Rollbit's users problem.

I see that you've marked it as resolved. Do you mind locking this thread to prevent spam posts? The button to lock a thread is at the bottom left of this page.

[...] One more thing, it is not my problem. I just gave a suggestion to forum owner. He may see this thread, the responses from members here and take some action if necessary.

Ah well, you can rest assured, then. The forum is quite confident with its position. It is the oldest and biggest forum, the "original" one, they don't mind someone talking about a forum or two. In fact, we even co-exist with some of them. For example, in scam accusations board [where one of the main purpose is to facilitate a dispute], we often refers people to other "forum", an arbitrator or two, when those sites offer a more efficient way to get a resolution for the case.

5. Oh, wow! All of it? But I thought you send him a screenshot of analysis that shows the tainted money from darknet is just 2.2%? With 3.1% at best if we consider everything shady as "tainted"? Tsk... tsk... tsk... now now, which one of your employee published that analysis and which one of you is lying?
There are various services for analyzing cryptocurrency funds. Our partners use exclusively analysis services that are used by law enforcement agencies around the world. There are only a few companies that are able to effectively accurately determine the direct connection of funds with an illegitimate source.
We do not use services whose data can be accessed by anyone, as the publicity of the data plays in favor, including for criminals.


As predicted, this turns into a cluster of messy quote. Again, learn how to quote. You have sophisticated system [or so it seems] and --I believe-- a powerful tech team, one of them can look into this forum and teach you how quoting works. It's very simple, he won't need more than few seconds.

I am tabling other, simpler, things for now [point 1-4] and focus on point number 5. You're saying the analysis you use now came out with a result that 100% of the fund is dirty? Who provide the initial analysis, again? The one with mere 3.1% [at best]? Such an astronomical difference, don't you agree? You sure the analysis given by your partners are the valid one and not a false positive?



[...] If certain addresses are "criminal", and you happen to know about it, why don't you publish a list? [...]

This, I can help answering for them. They've been asked about this on an older thread where they're --similarly-- being questioned quite thoroughly, though their answer is not satisfactionary and, when pursued further, they went full Avatar Aang.

Of course, we will not publish the blocking list, since we do not cooperate with cryptocurrency scammers and thieves, we treat them extremely negatively and believe that they bring huge harm to the entire crypto community. Many of our employees have also been hacked and caught in fraud before, so we are well aware of how difficult it can be to recover lost funds.
[...]

[...]
The publication of our blocklist will provide information to criminals that their crime is known, and will help in their laundering. We will not assist criminals in any way. Honest users will be able to provide the necessary data if they have deleted this data purposefully.

You don't understand the question, hilariousandco is saying that you can view the list of sent messages even if you are banned. He is not talking about sending a message to anyone on the forum. Obviously, you are unlikely to be able to do that.

It does appear that he can't via the screenshot provided, but not allowing people to see their outbox seems a bit weird and it's the first I've heard of it. Don't suppose it matters either as the messages were reported.

I think he actually got blocked from the entire "My Messages"page, because normally, the forum's "address bar" will shows something like below, with its subsection being shown. I don't think we can simply choose "Personal Messages" section, it always followed by a subsection



But his shows like this,

448  Other / Meta / Re: [BAN]: Hacker1001101001 on: January 28, 2024, 06:21:18 PM
Are you sure you can't even view your sent messages once banned? Not sure that's true, but they were the standard hey x i've replied to you here etc.

Yes, I am sure.



I will try sending an email anyways.

You don't understand the question, hilariousandco is saying that you can view the list of sent messages even if you are banned. He is not talking about sending a message to anyone on the forum. Obviously, you are unlikely to be able to do that.

I think he actually can't. As seen on his screenshot, the "Outbox" is being highlighted instead of "New Message", that's him clicking and accessing the outbox page, and meet the error message.

449  Other / Meta / Re: [BAN]: Hacker1001101001 on: January 28, 2024, 05:52:44 PM
I am intrigued by the possibility of your account being hacked. The forum is recently under "attack" of hacker silently co-living with the real owner, where they didn't hold it for ransom or change the credentials so the owner can't access it, they move under the radar by not touching anything and execute their action. One of the recent case is asking for a loan.

If you claimed that you never send a PM yet your account got banned for phishing PM... can you check your IP log as per Despairo suggested? Through https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php?

Several things that you might want to explain further:

1. How does asking for OP [and his client's] telegram details fit into this investigation of the source of fund?

- Information from the messenger may be indirect evidence of honest receipt of funds and disclose some details of the source of funds.

2. Why do OP has to be [initially] the one asking his client to provide details and how is it not counterproductive toward an investigation of the legality of fund like what I pointed out here?

- In this case, the OP is not the sender of the funds for the order. According to our rules, the sender of funds must provide information about the source of funds.

3. How is what he provided from his side is not enough? He proves that he worked for it, got them as a payment. Unless proven otherwise, it's all legal from his side in a sense that he's not involved or have any idea in the said criminal activity.

- Since the OP is not the sender of the funds, he has nothing to do with the funds sent to us. If the user had received funds for any service, we would have requested details of the transaction.

4. How do you think OP will know that the fund is related to criminal activity instead of being a pure innocent here? Wouldn't considering him ineligible to prove the source of fund as he's not the sender rather contradict the assumption that he's being involved in the activity [which become the reason why you hold his fund, because he knows it's tainted, otherwise, he's clueless, innocent, and the fund should be released to him]?

- The availability of complete information about their own counterparties, as well as checking funds for a possible connection with a crime, is a direct responsibility of the services engaged in the exchange of funds. In this case, the OP explicitly said about providing money exchange services on an ongoing basis.
As we have already said, in this case, the OP has nothing to do with the funds sent to our addresses from a legal point of view. When accepting criminal funds to their own addresses, there are other legal consequences for users.


5. How much from that fund is marked as tainted? All of it?

- Yes, all the funds sent are related to criminal activity. We cannot disclose the details of the incident publicly, as the disclosure of such data may adversely affect the investigation


I can see that this conversation will go into a big mess of quote pyramid. So, to prevent that, just ignore all of the text above and begin replying from below the line. And please learn the proper way to quote.



1. And the details like username [which understandably some will prefer to be a private matter] are important on this investigation... how? I am once again bringing your older statement here for everyone's attention:

[...]
We do not request KYC, as we value the confidentiality of our customers, but only information about the source of the funds received.

seems the exact opposite to me, you're violating the confidentiality of your customer by forcing him to reveal his contact info, and you're not only asking about the source of the fund.

2. Still not explaining about the counterproductive-ness of having OP to ask for his client to provide the info. As mentioned, if we suppose OP did involved in the crime, there's nothing stopping him to work with this client to fabricate that evidence you asked. So...?

3. Thus... innocent? Your words, and I quote, "Since the OP is not the sender of the funds, he has nothing to do with the funds sent to us."

4. Quite contradictive, is it not? "As we have already said, in this case, the OP has nothing to do with the funds sent to our addresses from a legal point of view. When accepting criminal funds to their own addresses, there are other legal consequences for users." So does he have nothing to do with the fund sent to your address or is he involved in it and thus have to face legal consequences?

5. Oh, wow! All of it? But I thought you send him a screenshot of analysis that shows the tainted money from darknet is just 2.2%? With 3.1% at best if we consider everything shady as "tainted"? Tsk... tsk... tsk... now now, which one of your employee published that analysis and which one of you is lying?

[...]
- So everything they asked for I provided them with, and they still didn't release my money, they sent a screenshot that 2.2% of the money is related to darknet, thats 2.2% from 8000 EUR  which is exactly 160 EUR, so for 160 EUR my whole 8000 EUR is freezed (https://i.ibb.co/7XBtjb4/IQ8jYY.png), and every proof they wanted I gave it to them

I will give it a bit more time, but the first signs are not good.

I admire your patience though, you will have to wait for another 2 days according to the timer on askgamblers,



However, it seems the owner or the official representative to this forum hasn't log in for a while and it looks like for them this is already a close book.

That case in AskGamblers was closed before with "unresolved" as their verdict, it was reopened as per OP's request. That two days were already an "extra time". And if they really consider this a closed, I really hope they'll reconsider, because it doesn't look good on them with several questions here being unanswered and AG's thread unattended.
452  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How I got scammed by chips.gg with insane proof from their employee on: January 27, 2024, 04:37:46 PM
That thing aside, if I may know, does that whistle-blower is the one you mentioned on your previous post approaching you through PM? I assume they use their own account and not chipsgg's?
Yes, that's correct. I was approached by someone claiming to be the whistleblower, and they are using their own account. I thought the same person might have approached you and/or Mahdirakib as well. I guess that wasn't the case.

Hmm... this is a nice development, but I think we can and should consider his silence [if he never replied to you, and assuming he is the whistleblower] is due to an NDA upon his termination that prohibit him from spilling any more tea on this issue. That's logically what I'll do as a damage control when my company is exposed by one of my [now former] employee.

Chipsgg's representative can clear all of these issues [together with several points being asked throughout the thread] if they really interested to clean their reputation, but they don't even bother to answer any [legit] question surrounding this situation or anything related to the nature of their business.
453  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fixedfloat is scamming me for 8000+ EUR IMPORTANT PSA! on: January 27, 2024, 04:03:23 PM
Funds from our hot addresses are automatically consolidated to our main addresses, as funds are sent from us only from our main addresses. Thus, law enforcement agencies see that the funds have been transferred to the addresses of our service. The funds remain frozen at our addresses, and when the frozen funds are seized by the authorities, they are also sent from our addresses.

It'll be nice if you can reply to all of my questions on post #27, I think it's rather convenient that you always "missed" a post or two that you can't answer, just like what happened on the other thread. That thread has a lot of questions left unanswered too.



[...] For example, you have never disclosed your own location or even stated which jurisdiction you are operating within. [...]

Sechyelles, and they're requesting it because they runs globally. The jurisdiction where they reside itself didn't ask them to provide such information.
454  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Rollbit Stealing $22k and Banning my Account on: January 27, 2024, 09:08:24 AM
How many times we will try this again, You asked OP to upload the images almost 37 days ago but no update from him. Maybe we have to wait another 144 days for his reply  Cheesy
144 days later, no update.

Hopefully he was pursuing other course of resolution through email with their legal team as per Razer's suggestion.

As you can see from that thread, there almost no big casino on this forum without any scam accusation against them. Though there are instances where a casino gave a questionable decision, there are a lot of people tried to cheat them by playing victim too, and that's one of the aim of this board, to oversee and resolve those cases from neutral perspective.

It doesn't cost much effort to make a new bitcointalk account and post something bad about the trusted casino. Not all of the scam accusation against the good casinos are real and based on truth. Sometimes a gambler does a mistake himself, violates the terms and conditions and then start to complain that casino is at fault. In more worse situations, a gambler loses his money in gambling while he will come up here to tell that the casino is a scam.

I'd like to think that the user above is one of those people creating account to talk bad about trusted casino. He made an account and zeroing right into this thread with "knowledge" that there are many cases against Rollbit on this board, suggesting that he's quite familiar with this board.
455  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How I got scammed by chips.gg with insane proof from their employee on: January 27, 2024, 08:57:42 AM
The OP continuing to play is just a case of a gambler not knowing better, perhaps even one with a self-destructive attitude towards gambling that results in them making bad financial decisions. But that's a different topic of discussion.

I believe, and I think we all know here, that's the main reason and the goal aimed by the casino by holding that winning. OP fall right into their play.

A new update in the CasinoGuru case.
It has now official been closed by their complaints team. Their conclusion is that the whole thing was a fabrication. They claim that the whistle-blower was never an employer of Chips.gg.
I am reaching out to the alleged whistle-blower to provide me with more proof, otherwise I am deleting my original feedback for the casino.   

I can't help but wonder... how on earth will they explain someone that is not their employee get a hold into their account in CasinoGuru? That thing aside, if I may know, does that whistle-blower is the one you mentioned on your previous post approaching you through PM? I assume they use their own account and not chipsgg's?

457  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: How I got scammed by chips.gg with insane proof from their employee on: January 26, 2024, 05:25:01 PM
@Pmalek, @holydarkness, I'm mentioning both of you here and bumping this thread as I just noticed that the mediator (Casino Guru) has ruled against the OP. Because the OP has played with deposits and made withdrawal even after facing the withdrawal issues before. Still, the behaviour of the casino admin and support team are questionable as they are intentionally blocking the withdrawals of a user who wins big, then they were celebrating when the user lost his money. And the unavailability of their license is questionable too.

Based on the current situation, do you have any plan to adjust the negative feedback which has been left on Chips.gg representative account?

Yeah, I followed their case on CG, visiting the thread every now and then to keep myself updated, but thank you for notifying me. Regarding the verdict given by the mediator, I have to say that it's quite surprising that they ruled against OP, but at the same time, it also bears its weight if we tunneled the case strictly on the blocking of the withdrawal [namely, why would OP still depositing and playing in spite of all of the situation] instead of the bigger scope like all of the other things they did; the withdrawal blocking [which we all know the real reason behind it], the issues raised by efialtis on his article, the cheering, the warning given by the whistleblower [I don' think I understand this part correctly, what's the outcome for this matter?].

As for adjusting the negative feedback, yes, when the case is marked as closed by CasinoGuru's mediator [which yet to happen], I will adhere to the verdict given and adjust it accordingly to make sure what's said there is true to the most recent situation and development, lest someone --that's simply here looking for dirt-- use it as a way to stick it to my chute by complaining about it. What will it say or whether it will be completely removed, though, is fully depend on Chip's representative's answer here on the questions that's left unanswered, because, those things above are not cleared and [currently] not being discussed on CG, and one thing that I think any sane person with an ability to process logic will agree is that those points are worrisome for a casino to have.
458  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Rollbit Stealing $22k and Banning my Account on: January 26, 2024, 08:31:49 AM
There are numerous threads on Rollbit regarding scams, disabled accounts, or withdrawal issues. Will it be able to sustain its competition?

And from those numerous threads, most are resolved, some are invalid, some are in progress of resolution, and only few is a valid and unattended case. You can look at the summary here.

As you can see from that thread, there almost no big casino on this forum without any scam accusation against them. Though there are instances where a casino gave a questionable decision, there are a lot of people tried to cheat them by playing victim too, and that's one of the aim of this board, to oversee and resolve those cases from neutral perspective.

459  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAMMER: user ALIMWENZA on: January 26, 2024, 08:24:50 AM
Both accounts looks disposable, given both were last online around a month ago, on late December. Can you provide the proof of conversation in screenshot, if they haven't wipe the entire convo? Chat log like you provide can be easily manipulated and is not strong enough as a proof.
If so then a video of the chat logs being scrolled through would be a really good proof then to corroborate the screenshots, and it's also useful recording since you can do the Inspect element without cheating unless you're really desperate to scam or lie then editing the video would your choice but I don't think that people will ever be able to not tell if something's edited anyway. To OP, what exactly is this user trying to scam you for? And what seeking donations means? Is that where you are going to be giving donations or soliciting them per individual?

Umm... I think screenshots of those conversation is enough for now, given many signs points to OP's accusation being justified. A video recording of those screenshots [although welcome] seems a bit excessive.

UPDATE: Fixedfloat contacted my customer and i am transfering message in full as copyed to me(i didn't get CCed) he contacted me that they replied to email with following sentence:


Hello,

We need the following information from you, as the sender of funds for the order:
1. How do you find customers or do they find you?
2. What kind of services do you provide? Send us your service announcement (screenshot or link to your ad).
3. Where do you communicate with customers?


Best regards,
FixedFloat team.

Were your customer willing to answer to that? Though in one side it is [IMO] very intrusive and a gross practice of violation to privacy, this might put an end to everything. From the points being asked, they seemed just trying to match the story.
