Nitrogensports.eu dodging questions regarding their operation

[tmfp]

I'm just surprised to see how a supposedly county in Costa Rica be protected on a European data base.

They registered the .eu domain via a Dublin services company and a German registrar, possibly using the London company I refer to above.
As well as them using Cloudflare, the new GDPR regulations are making it impossible to get any meaningful Whois data on anyone anymore.


Edit: The London company appears to be a red herring, there was a Nitrogen Health registered at that address but that was a legit health care company since taken over.
Nitrogensports being registered by an Irish company would qualify for the .eu domain anyway.

So they are most likely running it out of Costa Rica but could also be from GB? This sure is confusing lol.

Yeah, welcome to crypto gambling lol.
The only management names I found were Felix Arburola who has been a minion in the Costa Rica sportsbook sector for years and the "co-founder and general manager" James Hampelton, who sounds pretty Brit.

Nitrogen sports blatantly lie ablut all of their promo offers. They only care if you're an American.
I heard that they freeze big accounts if you try to withdraw any amount. If you're not an American.

~random unsubstantiated claims~

That's not at all what this thread is about. OP clearly not American has had  no issues gambling or withdrawing from their site. They are just shady and dodgy about simple jurisdictional questions; which don't really affect them.

The worst part is you're just spreading "information" you've heard, with no proof. Try to deliver substantiated claims and remain on-topic.

I have found cointelegraph's article dated in 2014. but couldn't find any info about him.

There are 3 accounts in  nitrogen's linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/nitrogen-sports/about/ but I don't see important position - chat moderator, support and one is some kind of security dude who seems work for one consulting or security company in U.S, but website is not online so probably it is not worth mention it.

Someone in this thread mentioned Ideal Media Inc and there are many affiliate sites mentioning that company, for example this one https://www.bitcoinsportsbooks.com/reviews/nitrogen-sports/

The company is located in San Juan, Costa Rica and is owned by Ideal Media Incorporated.

Linking to this website: https://idealmedia.com   but according to linkedin that company is in Manhattan https://www.linkedin.com/company/ideal-media-inc/about/

Maybe wrong link on affiliate site.

Company is also mentioned in this site https://www.vip-bet.com/bitcoin-betting-sites/nitrogen-sports-review/

The company behind Nitrogen Sports is located in San Pedro, Costa Rica and all of their support staff and servers are situated in Costa Rica as well. The parent company is Ideal Media Inc, which is also located in Costa Rica.

And there is link to linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/3293788/?pathWildcard=3293788 but it is broken.

This also didn't give anything:


Huh. Should this be in investigation? I mean, all this info is from shill sites except picture which doesn't reveal anything except some random companies.

With the past posts I see in this thread apparently just by digging deeper and deeper on their company's information it will just lead to more questions than answers. So if Hhampuz really wants to solve anything I think calling a hotline from where their domain is registered or even Costa Rica's SEC is the only way to go since their private info are well protected online. Either that or NitrogenSports comes forward here in the forum, and basing it on how marlboroza attempted to find out more info about the company I think that it would take some time for them to tell anything straight.

It usually goes this way:

"Where is your company"
"You can find info at our site"
"But I can't find address"
"Contact support (*gives email*)"
"I thought you are support  "
"Yes, but contact our support"
"Ok. Hello support, where can we find your company's address"
"You can find info at our site"

And then you give up.

Had there been any lead or progress regarding what is to be done regarding this whole scenario? It is definitely shady for a comparatively big gambling website to ignore the same question over and over again, and go over the question asked.

Yeah, and that to me is a huge red flag.  Why would they be evasive about a simple question of corporate residency when asked by one of their customers?  It makes no sense to me and raises a lot of questions in my mind.

Yeah, welcome to crypto gambling lol.

Yeah, it's crazy.  If you thought the wild west days of crypto were over, think again.  It amazes me that some fly-by-night casinos and exchanges (like Yobit) still conduct business without regulators shutting them down.  I'm not saying Nitrogensports is in that category, but their canned responses to a very simple inquiry here don't instill a lot of confidence in me that they're conducting business by the book.

It's a weird situation to judge. Unless they work on some transparency for their business it's hard to justify leaving any significant amount in their custody as a bankroll. At the same time though there haven't been any reported issues with deposits and withdrawals. So it really could come down to it's a question they don't often get pressed on, and until it becomes a large enough concern for them the current standard responses work fine for them.

I can't say I've really explored the Crypto Gambling market, so I don't know how other sites would answer the same questions.
