Powerbet.io is a total scam stay AWAY they allow only deposits but no withdrawals I made a deposit with them couple of days ago did NOT take any bonus or any other offer with them i just deposited around 200 mBTC placed a bet with good normal odds around 1.9 won the bet and when i tried to withdraw they send me an email " According to our terms and conditions, "Customers are only allowed to open one account. Opening of multiple accounts is not permitted. Should we have reasonable suspicions that any of our customers has opened multiple accounts with us, e.g. for the purposes of avoiding stake, deposit or winning limit, we reserve the right at our absolute discretion to freeze that customer's account or to close the account immediately and the customer shall forfeit all their winnings. Customers should also note that their original deposits will not be refunded." Therefore, all your accounts were banned from playing and all available funds were confiscated " So basically a bullshit email with a bullshit clause which states that they can refuse your winnings and your deposit without any reason or explanation just a "suspicion" from their behalf when i requested for any proofs of wrongdoing they didnt give me a respond Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=908800Amount Scammed: 0.379 BTC/395 $ Proof of claims: http://imgur.com/a/b8g6D

Maybe you should create a scam accusation in the proper board. This is not the proper place to put this. But it is also good to leave this one here and just open another on the scam accusation board. This thread could warn other players about the site, but you have to ultimately prove the facts of your case though. Edit: Great! You moved it. Now, try to follow the how to write a proper scam accusation by reading the stickies.

I never knew about this betting house before I saw this thread. I checked their announcement thread and I saw they restrict a lot of comments and self manage the thread. This is not good for the promotion of the casino deleting comments which they don't like. Now this looks like the definitive proof against them. I feel sorry for your loss.

This player had opened two accounts with us. Unfortunately for him, he forgot to change his IP and used the same IP on both his accounts - both active with deposits and placed bets. Our terms and conditions are quite clear in this matter: multi-accounting is forbidden. We're glad this thread was brought to the public as this will hopefully prevent other players from attempting opening multiple accounts with us. The quote of Chevas Regal was not actually randomly selected as our anti-fraud detection system also signed a connection between these two new accounts and accounts related to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1718840.20, where the OP, bestgr, and the last poster, ioanna1990 are the same (another thread meant at attacking us). For bestgr, ioanna1990 and Authority9 we have this message: please don't try opening any more accounts with us as they'll all have the same fate.

I checked powerbet.io if they would be a good choice for Game Protect and have to inform the community that they hide the operator, but at the same time, when you apply for affiliate, they ask 1000 questions and info from you!
Also, if an operator reserves the right to confiscate your balance or winnings on "suspicion", please stay away. To validate a claim, you need an enforcement order from a court. To get such an enforcement order, you need proof of your claim!

We can solve this pretty easily i believe i have a case against you, you believe i don't fine provide me then your name and your country of operations and we will let the courts decide who is right since you don't have anything to hide that won't be a problem for you Would it? And what i am asking is completely legal and ethical when there is a contract between 2 parties and one party decides to take unfair decisions against the other party arbitration is required so if you are a legitimate operation and not a scammer it won't be a problem for you to provide your information

And another instance that proves your dishonesty. You claim that if you have "suspicion" for anything weird you confiscate not only the winnings but the deposits as well !!!! now a bookmaker that just wants to protect itself from abusive behaviours by players only confiscates the winnings. Your decision to also confiscate the deposits gives you a MOTIVE to find "suspicious" activities everywhere. Why really have you set up your terms this way if your goal is not to defarud people of their money???

Its clear they are trying to impose an authoritarian rule, on the basis of their retarded "terms" they can literally just lock anyone's account and claim two IPs are same, boohoo YOU ARE DA SAME GUY!! I hate seeing shitty companies sprout up and bring with them ridiculous notions of how businesses should be run.

Wtf, so those scumbags have the right to seize your money just because you opened 2 accounts from the same ip? What kind of a shitty TOS is that?
What IF he and his wife is playing from the same house? Have you thought about this morons?
Just return his money retards.
The amount isn't worth to contact a lawyer but you can post this everywhere so hopefully no-one will be harmed in the future.

Sports betting service disallow multiple accounts due to some cases which is explained already in site T&C which I guess is accepted by every user following registration of an account. However by disallowing multiple accounts, it does not enables sportsbook to keep the deposit amount from such account cases. It is already in their T&C but that doesn't means that they can play with customers funds like that. By putting points in T&C , the concerned service should be able to justify the reason behind putting of such conditions. I will be waiting for powerbet to answer this. I also have question regarding their inactive fees condition.

Even if Authority9 broke your terms and conditions which nobody will read on any website anyways regarding no multi-accounting, has he cheated you guys out of anything? Has he avoided any “stake, deposit or winning” limit on any of his alt accounts? If not, then you should refund him. If you are going to be this anal about your terms and conditions, then you’re just going to run out of business. I believe that you had a TOS that even required people to provide their ID and passport in order for withdrawal… There are bitcoin sports books like direct bet that don’t require anything and allow pretty much bets from any bitcoin address/account without restriction.

They won't be banned until they break forum rules. In that case why not create a new thread to put all the negatives and problems regarding the site concerned.

How can you prove that the same IP is the same person this day and age? It probably is as a rule of thumb but if 10 people are using the same IP and all speak different dialects or languages it's fairly obvious that they aren't the same person.

Customers should also note that their original deposits will not be refunded."
@Powerbet.io: Who do you think you are? A judge? Only a judge can decide about confiscating money from natural/individual persons. It isn't even relevant if you write such a clause in your ToS. It's simply not legit whatever you think you can write in your ToS if you violate laws and conventions YOU are the one who is cheating people. If you have good evidence a user opened multiple accounts then void his bets and grab his winnings but DO NOT confiscate his deposit. This is reserved only to a JUDGE but no one else. It's simple as that. This money doesn't belong to you. You cannot make your own rules like Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking. You have to follow the rules of a state of law. Any discussion about this point is obsolete.

I was thinking of joining this bookie site as well. It's a good thing that I happened to stumble in this thread. So PowerBet.io, you just lost a potential customer because of your incorrect business practice. That is not the way to run a business. You cannot seize assets of a gambler which they themselves deposited. That is considered theft in all courts.

Good to know you are the server admin at powerbet.io! I don't know what your problem is, but by reading the comments in the thread of the accuser you can tell what was the reason why they're accounts is frozen, powerbet.io also have T&C that you can read which you deny for no valid reason( I read some of your posts). just do a little reading in the comments you will learn something, I also looked in your trust, and reputation is not good, so I'm just gonna ignore after this. they didn't answer my messages too,,, i sent a lot with no respond
since your transaction is on hold you can just continue waiting, if this issue is still not resolved after a day or two you can make your own thread regarding about the issue you're experiencing.

O.k. mr server administrator, based on which circumstances/laws do powerbet.io have valid terms and conditions? ( I read some of your posts) just do a little reading in the comments you will learn something, You read my posts and you learned something? What did you learn? I also looked in your trust, and reputation is not good, so I'm just gonna ignore after this. Where can you see my trust? My reputation is not good based on what? Yup, shills love to ignore me!

I really don't know if the answer I seek is tucked somewhere here because I havent been able to see it. I like to ask if these sites are legit or scams http://bitcoin-maker.bizhttp://tradeinvest.usI am looking at doing business with them but not sure if there are genuine.

This should be in service discussion with a new thread title. They all are Ponzi. Investing in them will likely will cost you losing your investment. To answer your question, best way is to determine is to check the deposits they claim to receive and their dates. I have picked many deposits which were not made on the day as the site claims to have received.
