"
For those who don't know, Cloudbet.com is a bitcoin sportsbook/casino. For a small bettor and most bettors they would seem like a legit book because most of them are losing bettors and if they pay out the small to medium bettors. But if you are a long term winning bettor they will find every excuse to not only keep your winnings but also your original deposit. They change their terms on conditions on the go as they please to justify their decisions.



I am a success full bettor and i follow a successful syndicate tipster Max XXXXXX from maxXXXXXX.com. Entire 2018 my go to book was pinnacle and betcris and I had no problem betting and getting paid there. But the limits in those books for some of the college football/basketball games are only $3000. This is when I decided to check out cloudbook since they tout themselves as the highest limit sportsbook. During the the final 2 weeks of december, college basketball bowl season, Max XXXXXX, posted all 6 of his 5 unit plays well ahead of time since the lines were out. This was a great opportunity for me to go heavy because he usually has only 2 to 3 five unit tips each month. I wanted to bet all 6 big and also play a parlay. Cloudbet already has sent me an offer earlier in 2018 where they offered 100% matching bonus for max of 5 bitcoins. This means they will match my deposit for up to 5 bitcoins. I decided try it and opened an account with cloudbet and deposited 5bitcoin and my account was credit extra 5 bitcoin for a total of 10 bitcoin. I went ahead and placed 1.5 bitcoin bet on each of the 6 bets and 1 bitcoin bet on a 6 team parlay. All 6 games won including the parlay and I i won total of 53 bitcoins and my total balance in my account now is 63 bitcoin. On the first week of January, I requested a withdrawal of 40 bitcoins into my bitcoin wallet and it was never processed. Customer service that responded almost instantly when i asked questions about depositing now took days to respond. They kept saying they are investigating few things and the payment will be processed upon completion. During the investigation they asked so many things for identification (nonsense because as a bitcoin book they tout themselves as a book to play anonymously) but i complied and gave them everything. THey concluded that I broke their terms and conditions and closed my account without any payment, not even my original deposit. I didn't break any rules. Only thing that I did was follow a tipster and no where in their terms and condition it says that I cannot follow syndicate tipsters. This month i found out that I was not alone. There is a complaint of a heavy hitter, probably another maxXXXXX client, complaining about cloudbet holding 338 of bitcoins after he deposited 112 bitcoins and ran up it up to 338 with winnings. You can find his story in bitcointalk forum adn as well as ask gamblers forums and few blogs/media covered his story as well. There are numerous other complaints.



cloudbet is a scam. if you are a winning bettor or big bettor, stay away.

I'm almost positive this is the guy who owns cloudbet.  He's tracking the stuff down all over the web and freaking the F out.  His busines is going down in flames.
Sorry to link this thread over at the other site but it's very relevant.  These guys are the worst type of scum on earth, fighting to steal money from the community.

Bitcointalk, I will be back in 48 hours once this thing settles.  I need a break for the sake of my sanity.  Never going to let this rest until I'm paid or they stop accepting deposits.  One of the two.

3. In accordance with our T&Cs, in these situations we reserve the right to void all bets and return their account balance, up to the sum of their deposits. Furthermore, we reserve the right to confiscate funds in certain cases (such as repeat offenders). We did not confiscate any funds in this case, but instead voided all bets.

4. In this particular case, the customer has already withdrawn more than the sum of their deposits and accordingly we consider the matter closed. If the player offers their consent, we can gladly share transaction hashes of all relevant transactions.

5. Additionally, the player is sharing information and making claims in public web forums (such as this one) that they know to be untrue. For example, the player claims they have provided us with address proof outside of the USA which is untrue. The player has also made other untrue claims - such as the size of their deposits.

In fact, very close situation for the Livecoin case (despite the fact that there user also was enough stupid). As i remember, Livecoin also froze money of their customer (izoomrood as i remember) due to "offense to service" and so on. In one hand, this is pitty (the same logic i i followed then) but from the other hand - it's their ToS and you should read it before using any service. I do not protect them, but at least you should know that you're in a high risk with such ToS.

You should return money to efxes, with no doubts. "Offense" on the internet forum is no cause to block someone.

Hello, is it possible to please pay me back the money that was in the account that I deposited that day?  Usually you pay back the account balance minus any winnings since the account was last zero'd out.

Is that not the case now?  Cloudbet?

I can't take 48 hours off.  You took my entire livelihood from me.  This isn't a joke.  This isn't going away.

You should take a break for a bit.  This is going to be a long process and your chances aren't very good - constant posting will not help - in fact it might hurt.

Mentally the money should be written off as a loss.

It is.

efxes,

You can not break ToS and try to attack a casino constantly. You can blame on vague, shady ToS but the rule you broke is written in ToS.

The action to pull the KYC card can be taken into consideration but the case is opened, and it takes time to be resolved. exfes, you have reasons to say Cloudbet is scam but Cloudbet has their reasons to say you broke their ToS.

If you want to take your money back, you need to cool down and wait for final decisions.

If you already gave them from emails, support tickets, on the forum and other websites, youtube, other forums all evidence you have, it is time to de-escalate. Keep increase escalations won't help you. It is a weekend too and Cloudbet often is offline in weekends.

6. We continue to have a duty of privacy to the player, so cannot publish information we have that directly contradicts their claims without the player's explicit consent. We can, however, share this with our regulator, or an arbiter with the player's consent. Additionally, if the player would like to consent to us sharing this information with select senior members of the community, we would be happy to do so.

You can choose to do it better as Cloudbet stated their willingness to resolve the case. Make your request to open a secret group of senior members in gambling (with you and Cloudbet too). Evidence from you and Cloudbet will be shared in that group and there will be Non-disclousure agreements for the group's joiners.

Think of it. Think of mediators.

neymarjr12 and Sportsbet.io case
At the end of that dispute, this is important reminder

We would urge gamblers to read and comply with the terms of gambling sites and not use sites that have conditions they find unfavorable to their gambling preferences. This mediation process should be seen as a rare exception and not as a routine dispute resolution process. Gamble responsibly.

Good luck.

There's no discussion.  I want my money back.

Read again, please.

There's no discussion.  I want my money back.

Also to the above poster, tell me what rule have I broken? 

Again: There is no discussion.  I want my money back. Now.

I will not negotiate, I will not discuss.

I will supply my wallet address.

Do you think that by screaming and shouting , they will return your money ? You should be polite and give them some time so that they may think positive about your case.
If they do not respond you or do not pay you back, what harm can you do to them ? Nothing

Very surprised with the leeway he is receiving here. He has lied a countless amount of times. Changing his story at every turn. Cloudbet gives him a response that is fair and even gives him an avenue to getting paid. Instead of responding to that post directly here to discredit it (because he couldn't for reasons below), he went to SBR and made this post: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3622234-cloudbet-confiscated-15-000-due-providing-verification-documents-usa-citizen-p3.html#post29772515

At the bottom of the post he attempts to discredit and smear Cloudbet with a lie:
"So there you have it. As for the other account it's not true. They love to pull that card. I said I might have had an account a few years ago trying out the site but I couldn't remember the email.

They just want to steal the money., "

stated in response to a previous email where they said:

"In this particular email, you are stating that you've also had an account created before you started using this specific account, which means you have breached not one, but two of our terms, thus your account must remain closed, unfortunately."

--

But on September 23rd he said this here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333552.msg55251268#msg55251268
"I just sent in all my verifying documents.  I could really really use the funds and I really like the site.  I've lost a lot of money to you guys, like a lot of BTC over the years, I just forget what my old logins are.  and I mean a LOT of bitcoin lol.  But i still keep coming back."


----

Feel free to read the entire thread at SBR. It's only 4 pages. We tried to help him from the very beginning.. and slowly but surely it turned out he was lying and then flew off the handlebars and launching an all-out smear campaign.

[...]

have you ever seen a casino accept someone's deposit and that person loses all money in the casino and the casino comes to complain that the person broke TOS because he created an account in a country like the USA and return the person's deposit? have you seen this happen? and if you have seen it happen then please post this case on this forum. you have to stop this from always resorting to TOS whenever someone wins something and wants to withdraw, because they do not do due diligence when the person makes a deposit and if in case the person has broken the TOS they would immediately return the deposit, they leave make a deposit and let the person play and only if wins, start searching for the person and at the end the gold mine enters: "TOS". this problem would have been solved a long time ago with the return of $ 15,000, it is not okay to let someone beg on a forum for their money to be returned

[efxes]

Again, guys. Cloudbet obviously wants this argument to be whether or not I was in the USA or Mexico. It plays in their favor. Red Apples is so blatant in having some sort of financial gain in me not being paid or smushing my power to speak up against Cloudbet.

But in the end, USA or not doesn't matter. Because I should be at least owed the decency of being returned my last deposits. Not freerolled.

Again: I should at least have the decency of being returned my last deposits on the account, and not freerolled- so return the account balance now.

[efxes]

Cloudbet last login since forever, coincidence that it lines up with RedApples creating an account shortly after?  I think not.  It gets deeper just return the money cloudbet.  My time is more valuable than this.

Ummm, the argument is whether or not you were in the USA or Mexico. That's the only thing that matters. These sites have been under the same rules for the past decade. As I posted on the other site, anyone can read my past history with Pokerstars.

You continually lie and make up stories. I've quoted you many times already to point out the lies you've constructed to attack Cloudbet. Anyone can see it by reading the thread I just posted here.

You've been given countless opportunities to prove the most basic of details. You're the one who brought up AirBnB stays. Then landlord stuff. Then your landlord writes in Spanish. You came asking for help, acting like you didn't know how to get the most basic of details. Now since it all proved to be something you were unwilling to do, because you can't, now it doesn't matter, and I own Cloudbet, everyone against you is a shill, and the only thing that matters is you getting paid, at all costs. The cost here is you making up story after story and painting an unfair picture. You're up on them lifetime, and they continued to pay you out. Why would they ever have done that in the first place if they were simply just waiting for you to deposit to steal from you? There had to be a point in time in which you were figured out, and that triggered the review. Who knows when they detected you? Allow them to share the information they have to make it public so we can actually see. You want no fairness. You just want to lie at every turn to try to extort money from Cloudbet.

For what its worth, I'm willing to prove that I have no affiliation with Cloudbet, which seems to be the most laughable scenario possible. If there is a body that oversees this site I'd be more than willing to share with them sensitive information that proves who I am, and that I certainly have nothing to gain. As if that matters anyways. I've only stated clear indisputable facts, based on showing your words and your actions, and the past actions of other actors in similar scenarios. I'm making no assumptions, save for the fact that your story wasn't adding up from the start and that raised suspicion which turned out to be fact. You calling me out for 'owning Cloudbet', just goes to show how silly your reaches are and how little anything you have said even means, and shows your lack of concern for other parties actually are.

You decided to attempt to extort from Cloudbet, and I was just a guy on a website that saw it and am pointing it out. If you can directly refute my statements, go ahead and do so. It's pretty hard to refute your own statements and actions so maybe this is your only course of action. As stated weeks ago now, you should probably just give up.

[efxes]

Buddy the gig is up.  I'm just waiting to get paid.

CloudbetscamsDOTCOM just told me site is going back up today.  He also said this isn't going to stop even if Efxes gets paid.  Cloudbet's history of scamming will be there for the world to see on the first page of google.  It's over for you guys.

Let me know when you want my wallet address to refund my deposits.

Great, so another one of your other accounts that made this website to extort Cloudbet. This is so uncool. If anyone wants a clear picture of what he is doing, click the link in my previous post. Read the thread start to finish. It is very sad... I and others were trying to help him get paid. But he turned out to be a flagrant liar and has built an entire smear campaign. It's all in the thread. Mods, please review that thread start to finish, and decide what you will. It's only 4 pages, and makes for a rather quick read. 

[RedApples]

That's great. Hopefully you will actually fight legitimate cases and get them paid. To this point, all of your posts have been vocal about efxes. Anyone can go look at your post history and see you spamming his case only, describing it the same way he is, making up the same lies that he was, and you getting tangled up in them too:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279500.msg55299477#msg55299477

1. if he submitted appropriate proof of being in Mexico during the dates, which is so easy to do, then guess what,
#2 doesn't matter.

People have offered this up to him for WEEKS. You stating he's done it is as silly as him saying he was down there renting AirBnBs (1st statement for renting) but avoided all talk of providing those details when pressed for it; said it didn't matter. Now you know he's submitted 'appropriate proof'. (lol)

Reading your post history says everything you need to know about your actual goal here, and its furthering a smear against CloudBet. Sad that this is actually allowed to go on.

If you were legitimate then you wouldn't have to be as blatant and over the top as you are. Make the site, outline details, and spread the details. You are just as demanding as efxes (likely are the same person), simply trying to extort them. You've threatened them from every angle now, as did the YouTube account. As did efxes and the YouTube account did citing the Medium accounts.

Anyone who has not see the thread on SportsBookReview, please click the link in my post 2 posts previous to this. Read it front to end. There are people who need to be stopped here, and its efxes and this smear campaign. I'm all for a site outlining and exposing fraud. I'm definitely not for threatening sites with slander and aggression, especially when its not even rightfully owed in the first place.

[efxes]

I sent in as per Mexico:
Financial Statements with my Mexico address, received via mail
Handwritten letter from my landlord with the rented address
Payment statements to my landlord in Mexico along with that note
A receipt for a week I recently paid in an AirBnB like situation in Mexico.


I shouldn't have to provide more than that.  If so, please tell me what else.  I shouldn't have to deal with all this, I've sent in enough documents to impersonate me a gazillion times over.  You're fraudsters, you're scammers, you're the lowest of the low, Cloudbet.  I have no problem giving cloudbetscamsDOTCOM any information he needs on MY scam accusation against you.  I just am starting to get concerned that you're in a bit too deep on this one.

It's obvious that you work for the site.  so with that, i'm done arguing.  I'm just going to come after Cloudbet for the money.  Until then, good luck trying to tell me off.  Seriously good luck.  You need it with how sharp I am at betting against you guys!!

Pay me the deposits I made, and I'll try and talk cloudbetscamsDOTCOM out of trying to prevent people from depositing to your site.

Just continually dodging and being dramatic.

You have login details that prove you were in the USA. Cloudbet says they can prove that you were in the USA when playing on Cloudbet. What good does a 'handwritten letter' do? What good does a 'receipt for a week recently in Mexico' do?

Anyone can go back the previous weeks and see what you've written on the topic. You said you go down to Mexico to play and rent AirBnBs. Then it turned into your landlord. Then you didn't know what or how to prove that you were in Mexico. You actually said all of these dumb things, just as you're saying dumb things now. All you need to do is prove that you were in Mexico during the times that Cloudbet says you weren't! It's so easy to hash this out. YOU NEED TO PROVE THAT.

Otherwise, you weren't. And you have no case! Which is the angle you've been fighting for the past week before I made it into this thread to curb some of your blatant lies and attempts to strong arm Cloudbet into paying you.

I'm happy at least some of the people in here will now see what is going on, and more of them will hopefully go to Sportsbookreview to see the entire context. You and this other guy making up the most insane scenarios. I own Cloudbet... the website guy saying that the website is being hacked, hacked by Cloudbet.

You've literally shot from every angle possible and been as little forthright as someone could possibly be.

I'm also going to sit back a little bit and see how this plays out. I wish all players would get paid no matter what, but I wish even more that people doing what you are doing don't get away with it. This is criminal.

Bitcointalk, I will be back in 48 hours once this thing settles.  I need a break for the sake of my sanity.  Never going to let this rest until I'm paid or they stop accepting deposits.  One of the two.

this guy obviously is, as expected, a site owner coming in to defend anonymously and smear who they steal from.

Return the deposits.  It's the only right thing to do.
