Bounty FullHouse casino plagiarized the whitepaper from Shuffle

[Little Mouse]

you made the right decision. I think bounty managers who are currently still active should also do it. (has anyone told him yet?)

I sent him a DM and asked to take a look at this thread. He hasn't been online yet.

[notblox1]

They lied to me. I asked them to acknowledge the truth but they didn't.
Paused the campaign and tagged them.

Did they already send you any money for signature campaign?
Before this I saw you created new topic to announce it and than you close it after you heard about this news.
This was very uproffesiona lfrom them to copy text from other casino and BABY SHOES maybe saved some people from losing money.

Too bad for them not to acknowledge their mistakes here and they really don't know how everything works in this community that they insist to you, being their campaign manager that they haven't done anything wrong instead of just making things corrected in the first place.

Also if I may suggest that you lock the signature campaign thread and have all the discussion here.

Good decision, and thanks to the OP for making you and the community aware of this plagiarism.

Little Mouse has sent back signature campaign funds to Fullhouse

Hey guys,
I'm extremely sorry. I have sent the fund back to the fullhouse team. We could continue the campaign here but you know they are a total liar and I'm not really interested in working with a liar.

Maybe they don't have the right defense so they don't take it seriously here, maybe Fullhouse is aware that their casino really plagiarized from Shuffle even though they initially denied it because they said Shuffle itself did the plagiarism.

The bounty campaign has not been stopped yet, as Little Mouse sent a PM to BountyDetective to look into this case, we'll see how it goes.

Let's see how BountyDetective will react, but as far as LM goes, they are guilty already and so are the overwhelming evidence against them. We can't blame LM here or any other Bitcoin paying signature campaign if ever there will be such cases in the future. The project didn't tell him and it's obvious that they did it in bad faith in copying another gambling platform whitepaper.

It's their lost already, they have been flagged and their project tainted and for sure gamblers are going to stay away from them because of this plagiarism but it seems that they didn't take it seriously.

Hey everyone,

One of the operational folks over at Fullhouse here, pardon our slower reply. Timezone difference made it a little hard to get back to address concerns quickly here.

We will address all concerns thoroughly, and if we miss any one point made we will make sure to address that later as well.

1. The whitepaper

We hired an australian whitepaper writer and he worked closely with our internal staff to draft up all features. We pressed him on the plagiarism remarks and he did admit he took "inspiration" from a number of other whitepapers. Due to the extremely high amount of similarities though we have all agreed to make the revisions. As it has never been our aim to infringe on anyone's ideas. Do note though that all sorts of token details, DAO governance structure and other parts of the Fullhouse eco-system design are not mentioned anywhere in Shuffle's whitepaper. Our team will make sure to fire the whitepaper writer and revise the wording and structure of the whitepaper.

2. The loading spinner

The Fullhouse loading spinner showcases 5 cards that all together make up the "Full house" combination from Poker. The shuffling animation was what our designer came up with for a logical loop. We do agree it is pretty similar to the loading animation Shuffle.com has, yet our designer pleads he took no inspiration from their loading spinner. We'll stand with our designer on this point for now.

3. The website itself

Every casino website has the same aggregators/game providers. Hence the catalog of games is oftentimes very similar, and for good reason. Every platform optimizes for highest lifetime value of users and thus show similar best performing games on its homepage. While Fullhouse has been in development since 2021, and uses a proprietary tech stack, it does however simulate other well-performing platforms, simply due to the automatic ordering of games displayed based on expected earnings.

Now to conclude, we feel very sorry for all of the issues made clear here by the community, and we feel we cannot be excused for these facts. All we really can do is try and solve the issues and present a better more unique product and whitepaper as we kink out the similarities. We hope to welcome any of the players on this forum to our platform, even though it is still practically in a beta state right now. And are open to provide anyone here a special promotional code for anyone open to provide feedback, as many of you kindly have done already.

With many great features in development and a $FH token launch on the horizon, we're sure that Fullhouse should be able to find its place in this competitive market, at some point. Please stick with us.

L. - COO of Fullhouse

At least you have admitted on your mistakes, specially the plagiarism, and for sure you know that this community will not allow such actions and sooner or later we will find it out as there are a lot of members here who delve into the whitepaper and scrutinized it.

Hopefully, you will not just revise the wording of the whitepaper, you better get someone that will really write everything from scratch so that there will be no slight duplication is going to be found.

And kudos to you for acknowledging the error on your part and good luck to $FH token.

You should have done it earlier before you tried to accuse Shuffle as the one who copied the things from you, that's not professional ofc.
Although you are now admitted your mistake and took some decisions, it will not be easy for you to make people forget about what you did.
It will be hard work for you to prove fullhouse is reliable project, maybe some people will doubt but if you are professional then you should be able to prove it although you may need longer time.
I think you should also apologize to Little Mouse as well as to Shuffle privately or publicly as a start

[Mahdirakib]

~snip~

At first, you accused Shuffle team without doing any investigation. Now you are blaming the employee for doing the copy paste of whitepaper. The owner of the platform is also responsible for this controversy. I can see the lack of professionalism from the Fullhouse owner and team members. You had also copied the ANN thread image of Shuffle.com (you have replaced it with a new one now). All these things can't be a coincidence here.

[Little Mouse]

BountyDetective has been online few times after I had sent him the PM but he didn't reply me, neither did he respond here. He is ignoring everything for the sake of his service fee, quite ridiculous. He has a history of managing shady and questionable projects back in the days. Tagging him for ignoring all these and managing campaigns for questionable projects.

It's good that you tagged him, for sure he did read your PM already and chooses to ignore and wanted to go on with the bounty obviously because he could have been paid up front by the project itself.

But we can't discount that they have plagiarized, they could have someone check the white paper and not just rely to the person that they hire to create one for them. On the other hand, they could have created one for themselves, specially the CEO since he has the deepest knowledge of the project.

It's irreversible already, the community have already cast their doubts on the project.

Hey everyone,

Our team will make sure to fire the whitepaper writer and revise the wording and structure of the whitepaper.

I've seen this excuse a thousand times before in the heydays of ICO, that was your cue when he told you that he took inspiration from some other whitepapers, you should have asked where he got the inspiration and done research on the whitepaper where he gets the inspiration.

Some whitepaper writers plagiarize other projects' whitepaper it is your task to check and double-check and see to it that the whole concept of your platform is embodied in the whitepaper.
This is a serious blunder on your team that ruins everything on your platform.

I can't get over it.

Doesn't a project write its own white paper by itself without hiring other parties? If you hire another party, of course the service provider will write a white paper that is important for them to be paid while the concept and the entire mission of the project is in the team's own mind.

Especially after the team and developers do not check again after the white paper that has been ordered.

The part that I don't get here is they should've had at least some form of quality control, that should be the standard because if you launch it in a half-assed way, you will always end up having problem, that's why there's quality tests right? Because if there's not any of it, the finished product will be broken for a lot of people. In this case, if the developers of the website was really hired and they're not a part of the casino team, it's so unprofessional to just blatantly copy and paste other websites, this is what happens when you do your stuff without regard to any kind of professionalism and effort to the work. The only thing that tells me about this situation is that Full House is just like any other casino out there, that they're not offering anything different.

💩

its easy to put the blam on an "australian whitepaper writer", but don't worry guys they fired him now!

did you also hire an "australian designer" for the announce thread and social banners?

 

did you also hire an "australian social media manager" for your slogan?

did you also hire an "australian SMM provider" to bot your twitter posts?

 

maybe start hiring someone who is not from "Australia"?

fullshouse.gg literally copied everything from shuffle.com, whitepaper, color, designs, text, and i wonder what else?

the only things you are sorry about is that you got caught.

It is pretty clear that Fullhouse owner has tried to copy most of the things from Shuffle. Their UI is different though. I had checked their terms and AML policy to see whether they copied the rules or not. Surprisingly, their terms were unique but incomplete (a small number of rules). Now all those pages show 'page not found' message. I believe they didn't hire anyone to do the job of spy and copy-paste. The owner had intentionally done it to get the success like Shuffle casino.

If this is the case then I will say the owner is a dumb ass. In was just a matter of time to get caught and things were meant to go south. Cheap.

they are doing damage control, and a poor job at that.
and i'm 99% sure those pages showing 'page not found' were copied too.

now, imagine this dum dum, is operating a casino, one of the most difficult businesses in the crypto space, i'm sure nothing would go wrong.
