Unfortunately, you're right - self-deception is "standard" behavior for many people.  It’s easier to "be sure" that the problem isn’t with you but that someone or something else is to blame - then you can feel sorry for yourself, you don’t have to force yourself to do anything, and, well, you’re a "hottie" in your own eyes. But… wrong conclusions lead to wrong next steps and make the problem worse.

Right. I think we can agree on that. But I also feel we are getting too much off topic with this conversation, so we better focus on what is currently going on with this casino.

I just checked on their online status and I was unable to access to their services from my browser.
It seems they continue to be down, since it was first reported here on this thread.

I assume they have decided to completely allow their façade to fall off and make a run with all the money they have gotten.

Did anyone doubt their actions? They bought themselves a lot of "breathing room" by creating the appearance of taking some action, like "we’ll recalculate the balances", while some of the victims were still hoping for a miracle; then they "covered their tracks" and simply "vanished".
This is the very same tactic I wrote about earlier, stalling for time, making various statements, just to have enough time to cover up all the problematic areas while the victims are busy with discussions rather than taking concrete action against the scammers.

~This are the diplomats got arrested due to fraud reasons https://thefinancialstandard.com/crime/stefano-sannino-fraud-arrest other one is stealing donations https://kyivindependent.com/former-ukrainian-top-diplomat-charged-with-stealing-foreign-donations

That cases confirms that even if the person involve on freebitco.in scamming is top official, its possible to arrest him.

Yes, it's possible, but normally top officials have connections in every important field including law enforcement. That's what they, scammers, are counting on. And in all cases the outcomes are different, but I hope in this particular case, even though I personally haven't lost a lot because of this scam, I hope they will go to jail for a long time. These scammers that used names “wetsuit”and “TheQuin” here must be punished.

We don't know if they're the scammers. wetsuit was the founder and original owner of the site, while TheQuin was an employee. At some point in this thread, there was speculation that the site might have been sold to third parties. If that were true, those third parties would be the ones who carried out the exit scam. But there’s so much we don’t know about this. And I don’t think we’ll ever find out, given how complicated the case is.

This is long time running rumor, but until know there's no proof if that sale happen. What we are sure about real situation happening here, is they compromised lots of people and broke the trust of their long time clients or players.

Their site is down for long time and this is enough proof to conclude that they are not returning anymore.

Shutting down their site is like putting the nail in the coffin and although this is really unfortunate, but its good for affected individual to move on to avoid stress.

Until it's proven otherwise, it doesn't change the fact they are scammers. If they sold the platform to someone else they should have announced it to their customers. What happened is that they simply vanished in the air, just like scammers do, without giving any explanations or guidance to the website's users.

In case they sold the platform, they should be the first ones to come here and tell that to us, especially once the first signals that something was wrong with freebitco.in started appearing.

After all those years of being active in the forum, they did they just go quiet? I think if they were selling off the platform, the best thing they would have done was mention about it in the forum like I have seen other great past casinos do.

The burden is now on them, whether they were scammers or not.

There are millions of clients which have had their money withheld by those scammers, and keeping in mind the long trajectory of Freebitcoin, I would not be surprised there was an important percentage of gamblers who actually believed the words of the administration of this casino.

If we are realistic, I think there is still some chance for people to organize themselves and go after for those scammers.

If they are already having trouble to keep their domain up, it means people can stop pretending or lying to themselves and move onto action...

Saw an article saying Dropbtc.io is them, it popped up around the same time the site went offline but idk…

There is a version in this thread that Freebitco got sold but I can't believe that. Firstly, if Freebitco got sold, the owners would announce it because if they sold it and people still think that the owner is the same team, if something goes wrong, their reputation will be damaged and secondly, why wouldn't new owners want to announce that they bought Freebitco? They could use the old trust and popularity of Freebitco and do rebranding in a way that they would completely reshape the website and attract even more customers and potentially generate even more money.
Also, if Freebitco got new owners, then why did new owners abandoned the website? It doesn't make sense to acquire a business and then abandon it.

Looks like they are back under https://dropbtc.io/

Could you please share the article ? I think it is important you do so, as there is knowledge everyone in this thread would like to have at their disposal. This is the first time I have hard about that service, and the fact they appeared at the same time freebitcoin went offline seems to be quite a big red flag.

Looks like they are back under https://dropbtc.io/

Quite ironic they are pretty much doing the same any other scam casino would do once everything goes south and they are exposed; to come back with a completely different name, so they can continue to scam people... i guess they were not getting enough deposits with their already stained name...

That's interesting. Now I'm wondering if this site was created by the same people who ran freebitco.in after pulling off the exit scam, or if it was someone else—or a group of people—who took advantage of the vacuum left after the site had been offline for several weeks to set up an identical site in an attempt to lure unsuspecting users. I'd bet on the latter. Without knowing for sure, the people running freebitco.in have probably made off with a lot of money and don't need to get into another mess to make more.

In any case, investing any amount of money on this new site is somewhat risky.

That is truly suspicious and looking at Whois https://www.whois.com/whois/dropbtc.io that site is newly registered.

So its clear scam. I don't believe much on review sites, but they have bad assessment towards this site https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/dropbtc-io-review

Also if you think about it, if freebitco.in want to comeback. For sure that they won't create a casino that have similar design with their old scam site.

I also have this doubts that maybe, there's a insane scammer tries to take advantage on the situation. Then either they want people to fall from their fake site or maybe they offer help for possible funds recovery then ask for certain payment then scam those people tried to avail their services.

[Agbe]

Exactly, and they will not not use the same registration and license company and everything will be different but the mindset will still be the same to scam people and run away. As for the casino reviews sites. If the players go there to make the reviews by themselves, it might be true from their personal experiences but if the reviews are from the company then, we will see praise singers.

Sorry it was just a general thing about the FBC site being down and they assumed they are managing the new sites as there is a couple different coins.

https://www.earnenews.com/2026/08/legacy-trust-trap-freebitcoin-scam.html?m=1

But what got me was this trust pilot review for Dropbtc:

“ This is very helpful website but…
I was a freebitco.in user for more than 2 years. My old user ID was 1051380 and I had more than 12000 Fun coins in my account.
Now on Dropbtc.io, I am being asked for an old profile screenshot, but the old freebtco.in website is no longer accessible, so I cannot provide it.
Please provide an alternative verification method for genuine old user and help recover our old main balance and old fun coin balance”

Here’s some missed news this week. Kinda big in my opinion.
You’ll need to translate the page

https://www.casinonieuws.nl/online/ksa-verbeurt-dwangsom-van-e-280-000-van-freebitco-in-fbc-bv/

“This week, the Dutch Gambling Authority (Ksa) published its enforcement decision against FBC B.V., the operator of the website freebitco.in. In December 2024, FBC was issued an order subject to a penalty of €280,000, rising to a maximum of €840,000. According to the Gambling Authority, the order was not fully complied with, and it has therefore decided to collect €280,000.”

Isn't Netherlands the way to go for those who were scammed? If there are users on that country, it must be simpler for them to prosecute freebitco.in from there.

Moreover, if authority is after freebitco.in, a representative of them must come publicly to give explanations. Linking all the points, it should be possible to find who is behind the operation, and then account him responsible for the scam.

Well, hope you have of easily recovering your fund by filing a lawsuit in Netherlands, reality isn't quite that sweet, bruh.

Fine imposed by regulator and refund for victim are not same thing.

€280,000 dwangsom that KSA is collecting for violation of illegal gambling regulation will go into the state treasury. It doesn't mean KSA is sitting at service desk ready to retrieve Bitcoin for ordinary user who fell victim to the scam. Lol.

Even though they operate on paper using shell or front companies, such as FBC B.V. in Netherlands or elsewhere, I think the actual operator usually remain hidden behind offshore or shell structure.

Many casino operator use crypto mixer to make tracking difficult and appoint nominal or dummy director to conceal actual ownership.

Consequently, if any local victim in Netherlands were to file any lawsuit then who would actually face the consequence? I do not think any real perpetrator will be exposed, it is more likely that a hired paper director will end up taking the fall.
