In this thread, I won a giveaway for a minecraft gift code from bitvegas: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236304.

BitVegas promises to send me a Minecraft gift code:

The FINAL ROUND is complete!
Winning number: 4735 (SHA256 Key: "4735 wqlapIZKmubFPjkACGhW")
The winner: whatever69 with a guess of 5000

You will be privately messaged with your Minecraft Gift Code!

Remember you can now try BitVegas WITHOUT a Minecraft account over at bitvegas.net

5000

I have not received any giftcodes from him or any communication at all, and the giveaway has ended nearly a week ago.

My message inbox/outbox: https://i.imgur.com/nN354pa.png

If we cannot trust bitvegas with a simple free giveaway, how can we trust him to keep our bitcoins in our accounts in his minecraft server?

What was the giveaway worth (I don't play minecraft)?

My Credentials  | THE BTC Stock Exchange | I have my very own anthology! | Use bitcointa.lk, it's like this one but better.

Well certainly reputations have been ruined for less.

Yes, 100% sure. My PM inbox has no messages at all. Bitvegas has not even contacted me after I posted this scam accusation.

Can someone contact them and see what they have to say? He has not answered my pms.

I doubt BitVegas will give you your code after this shitty post. Making accusations of scamming because you didn't get your free damn code? Why didn't you calmly contact BitVegas via PM?

Pretty sure he did.

Post it in other bitvegas's threads too.

Then contact BitVegas directly (e.g Murderscene), probably by cracking Minecraft and connecting to the server.
