It’s a shame about this site—given how important it was to this forum and to the history of Bitcoin—to end up like this. This reminds me of 1xBit; I’m not exactly sure if they’ve had similar clone sites over the years like in this case, but they’ve for sure used similar tactics to lure in unsuspecting users. They set up a site, and once it’s clear it’s a scam, they either launch another one or spend a fortune on ads for new sites to attract fresh, unsuspecting victims to fleece.
It's a shame for sure, but I couldn't care less about how they ended up when there are so many of their victims out there who ended up in far, far worse situations. 1xbit was a scam site from the get go though they had 1xbet's backing and that helped them immensely.
Am just hoping sites like Polymarket etc don't go down the same route in the future due to various reasons.
They can already survive for many years if they just run a honest business with their existing gamblers and also with their community.
But they choose to be an evil here, then decide to take all the money of their depositor.
This incident gives us a reminder that even if they are already old or big platform, there's till tendencies that they might turn scam.
1xbet is always brought up as example and I understand why people always remember them here, since they really made a huge scam to lots of people here.
On polymarket case, much better to make the situation happen between those two scam side as reminder not to fully trust them with their huge funds. So deposit only what they can afford to lose or bet on that day to avoid same issues with existing victims of 1xbet and freebitco.in.
