Classic Twitchy. When someone has a different opinion than you, the person must be a shill for X or Y.

On Betcoin.
I am “Vae Victis” there.
Ok, now I know who you are and am pretty confident that you're not a paid shill or alt account of Xiao or Betcoin.
Can you really blame me for being suspicious? I would be a fool not to be. This is Betcoin we're talking about here.
If you think I am siding with Xiao, I have no side but only the poker players’ one.
Then we are on the same side.
All of your questions concerning Xiao’s personal deal have nothing to do with the poker players. It does not matter how much he has on Casino/Sportsbook, how much he makes and so on.
As I said once again in my post, players can be disappointed that he has no pull on Betcoin policies considering his special relationship. And I have been myself quite a critic towards him for that. But past that, you just have to treat him as your random poker affiliate.
What does it mean ? At the end of the day for the poker players the only question is: does this affiliate deliver on what he is offering ?
The Answer is: yes.
Xiao has personally endorsed Betcoin for over 2 years now as a poker player and member of this community. When there's any discussion about Bitcoin Poker, he pretends to be an impartial third party and makes posts like
this one and
this one. He also has his own threads on multiple sites/subforums that he has been spamming only good things about Betcoin for years now.
He tries to gain trust by acting as if his "rakeback service" is motivated by his generosity and selfless desire to do good for Bitcoin and Online Poker as a whole. He want's everyone to trust him and believe he is only promoting Betcoin because of how great they are not because of the amount of money he's made and stands to make in the future. So he lies and tells people he barely makes any money from his players sports/casino action because they only play poker.
When I started posting the reality of Betcoin last year, (from the BBJP, to the missing VIP rewards to the over charged rake and constant lies) he handled it similar to how Betcoin did. Ignore the situation. If that doesn't work make the situation seem like really no big deal. If that doesn't work lie about the situation and attack the credibility of whoever is complaining.
According to Xiao, I'm mentally ill, a retard, brain dead, a degenerate, a dos attacker, an "abuser of trust" (still dunno what he means there), and when other people complain about Betcoin - he there's a good chance he'll declare they are just me using alt accounts.
He says all this stuff because he doesn't want people to believe what I say and he won't have a reasonable discussion about the issues for the same reason Betcoin won't. There's no excuse for their behavior.
Xiao and NiceSoft, over 2 years ago:
reg'd looking forward to playing as soon as i get my coins
Great, make sure to pm me if you have any issues. I am sort of like an unofficial ambassador to Betcoin. I know they are kind of overwhelmed right now from support.
