Backstory:Chain-Bet.com has been around for several years now. The original advertisement topic on this forum was posted May 30th, 2016 and the site has generally been regarded as legitimate, the only real complaints seem to be when the house edge was changed. The game is simple and trustworthy in that the player picks the last number or letter of the block their deposit gets confirmed in to win back 15x if it's a match. Since there are 16 possible results, a 15x return is a very high, but still acceptable house edge (in my opinion). When I'm gambling, I tend to prefer poker, blackjack and the sportsbook - I think Chain-bet struck a chord with me since it's similar to sports betting in that the result is delayed which lets the anticipation swell up. On Nov 13th, 2017 they changed the payout to 10x, which basically killed the site once players clued into the house edge on that. Last week I was randomly thinking about the site so I went to see if it was still around and saw they'd done a few UI updates and the payout was returned to 15x. This change was announced here on Bitcointalk in their thread, as well as their twitter account back on March 15th, 2019. Incident:On October 7th, 2019 at 7:52am UTC I placed a bet of 0.005 BTC that the last number/letter of the next block would be a 1. Block 598263 confirmed my bet as a winner, and my payout was to be 0.075 BTC. After a few confirmations the website displayed my bet as a winner and shows the payout as pending. It's now been 5-6 days since my bet and I've since learned that the site owner has all but abandoned this project. I don't have much hope on getting paid out at this point. I would caution others that this site still accepts deposits, and you won't know anything is wrong until you actually win. Old users like me might repeat this mistake... If he does not return and acknowledge this I would advise mods to close his thread with this warning.

The last 2 wins on the homepage weren't paid out. I've always enjoyed this site when it was 15x pay, and now that I see it's back there that's awesome for players... I see all the negativity from investors on the last page though combined with the unpaid wins - is this still a legitimate site?

Beware that XMR deposits have stopped working, the site's falling apart without any support. No issues in the past couple weeks but I sent XMR today and after confirmation + 20 blocks it's not credited.
And yes I triple checked the address and payment ID were input correctly.

Why isn't the winning number based on the last character of the block hash of the last bet placed in the group? The way I understand that you've designed this is extremely open to fixing - your system "randomly" picks a number once all the bets are in? How is that provably fair? What stops you from betting in each group and picking your own number?
If that's not the way it works, you should do a better job of explaining because "The winning number determines the blockchain" isn't proper English.

Nice site, I was able to cash out well over my deposit instantly with no issues. My biggest complaint is the games often freeze up after I hit bet (but haven't had any money lost to this), sometimes the chat doesn't load, and chart bet auto cashes me out at 1.1 to bad latency. I don't have connectivity issues anywhere else lately, 250 down internet, so I can only assume its bad routing with NA from wherever your servers are hosted.
Another annoyance is the site isn't very high-roller friendly. If you bet or win enough to show on the high roller tab, you get a bunch of chat callouts, friend requests and messages from people who want to congratulate you on the nice hit (but really they are fishing to be tipped). Sometimes you want to just play and not be bothered, some better privacy options would be nice.

I exchanged BTC for CAD and have had a withdrawal to my bank in process since May 4th. The first time I contacted them they said it can take "up to 15 business days". It's the 17th business day now and no funds have been sent, support responses are canned "we are working on sending you the funds, sorry for the delay". Latest support request is #292751
What has happened to Kraken? are they insolvent?

no man, i got 18 losses, 1 winning. . . that is a joke
You got 5 losses, then 1 win, then 13 losses. Not 18 losses in a row. That's a big difference. If you were at the casino and played roulette and red came out 13 times in a row you would be throwing a fit. Ive never seen any streak like that in a casino before, but I see it a lot in dice.... Also I saw a 14 black streak on roulette just last week. Boo hoo, and this is exactly why martingale fails as a system. |

Use the official complaints sources and they will answer you there.
I know some operators (not btccasino specifically) who are not willing by definition to handle these threads on the forum, but on official sources only.
Hope you will get your money They already replied here and accused me of "putting on a show" in light of catching them draining my balance to 0. I was also in email & support channel discussions with them for the 50 hours leading up to when I decided to post the scam thread. I advise no one to play here in light of the overwhelming evidence that I was scammed. You shame, so many ppl warned here this site is scam, but you didn't listen, stupid, no one can save you. I'm not asking to be saved dumbass, I'm not looking for my money now, I'm just adding to their scam record. I already said before I found the BTC Casino site before I found this forum. Your comment doesn't help anyone here. |

What is more likely. After winning up to 9.84 btc playing roulette and not playing for 2 days while I waited for cashouts, I make a scam thread. I notice after a couple hours there's a password reset link in my email, so I check the site and see a live chat open that's not me. I update the thread here that this scam is happening and... 1) I suddenly can't help myself and play 1btc bets on a slot machine, draining my balance to 0 right then and there. or 2) The casino sees my update here, knows they won't get away with what they were planning to do (send btc to the person that "hacked" me) and decides they can only drain the balance to 0 to avoid paying me. Let's use our heads for a second here. Look at the evidence, it should be pretty obvious. Note that the balance drops several times in the middle of me typing a message with the cursor over the chat window the entire time. Am I playing with my feet on another computer? Also Your screen of blockchain account has Russian interface. Interesting. It's not a screenshot, it's the actual blockchain website  You're seeing Russian interface because you're Russians... |

Yeah, I totally drained 9.84 btc hours after posting a scam thread, while talking to live chat. It totally didn't happen within minutes of me getting a password reset link behind my 2fa gmail and seeing someone talking to live chat on my account after I checked. I also didn't warn your casino I was recording this stuff, so it's a total surprise I was able to catch it on video. It's a Magical Miracle Good show. This casino isn't paying me, scam here, nothing to see. |

The BTC-Casino manager emailed me this morning with just Do not worry. We'll find the solution.  Will keep this updated if they actually do anything for me. |

Check the thread for final updates https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1671482.msg16782586#newAfter I posted the scam thread, they fake hacked my account. I received a password reset link and immediately the account was compromised. Funny story though, my email has 2FA (you cannot get in without my phone in your hand). Also, Google keeps a log of all accesses on gmail, there wasn't anything out of ordinary there. I use unique passwords for everything, and 2FA where available. After I posted my update in the scam thread calling them out for what they were probably planning on doing, I was able to record the tail end of them draining out my balance to zero while I talked with live chat. Video is in the thread. I don't know what else needs to be said, this is 100% scam casino now. |

https://streamable.com/oqkrVideo proof of BTC-Casino operators draining my account while I was in live chat. Pay attention to the balance while I'm clearly not in a game, and in the middle of typing to them. They will claim I was "hacked", but the password reset link was behind 2FA gmail (with no security alerts from google, or access logs showing anything suspicious), and my password at the casino is a 147 bit unique password. The only other alternative is that they have an exploit in the reset where people can reset accounts without looking at the actual email (reverse engineering the hash of the email reset link?). Either way I shouldn't be liable for this, but I don't care nearly enough to try and plead with scammers to give me btc I was never going to get. We're done here folks, they zeroed out my account, definitely not getting paid now. This is a scam casino, confirmed.
