As some of you may be aware, a major affiliate (xiaoxiao) for this site was ousted due to a large, founded, scam accusation. The scam involved a rakeback service, and involved delaying payments with various fabricated excuses while xiaoxiao gambled away all his players funds.
There was a backlash and calls for answers directed at Betcoin. Betcoin then outlined a so-called solution to make affected players whole up until a certain point (5/7). The solution involved using players generated rake from 5/8 forward to pay for the owed moneys up until 5/7. Betcoin made a couple payments and then proceeded to ignore players requests for updates in the designated forum for several months, meanwhile affected players continued to re-rake the moneys owed to them without receiving payments. The forum can be found here
https://www.betcoin.ag/xiao-rakeback-update-threadAfter months of ignoring requests for answers on the thread, some time in the last 24 hours, affected player __ACTl0NNNN spoke out in the thread. __ACTl0NNNN has been around the bitcoin poker community for a very long time, and is widely known to be one of the, if not the, highest stakes and highest rake volume players there is. He claims to have not received a single payment, and to have been disregarded in support tickets.

Update: Betcoin now says definitively there will be no more money paid.

Betcoin then strung them along for a few months while they kept all the rake they were paying, not too dissimilar from the scam xiaoxiao pulled originally.
