I won 38 bitcoin in 1 night and was forced to give it back.

The session lasted 9 hours and consisted of a roulette strategy that immediately began raking huge profits without any consistent losses piling up one after another.   On auto bet this strategy would not lose more that 3 times in a row.  It went on like this for 9 hours.   3 hours in when I was up around 8 or 9 BTC I contacted the live chat and told them I may have found a bug because I’m winning way too much.   Yes I actually did this.    I continued winning and once I reached 15BTC I started withdrawing.    After 5BTC of withdrawals the froze my account.    I could still play but I couldn’t move any more out of my wallett.   The admin messaged me after I was up 38BTC and said that I talked him into it and that yes There was a bug.  In the end he left me with 6.5BTC and I kept the XP points.   The bug bounty as it was called.    I still can’t breath when I think about it.    Thoughts?


Thanks for all the thoughts everybody.  It never crossed my mind to try and keep the bug a secret because I didn't want to do the casino wrong since it is such a generous casino in the first place.  The bonuses and daily give aways are second to none and I had been gambling there for a couple years.  Truth be told Im in the US and they dont even allow US players.  I could have been told to kick rocks with nothing.  I started the run with 1.5ETH and walked away with around 6BTC.. not a bad session.  You are all very familiar with the establishment I'm sure.  A fair and stand up spot none other than the great Bitsler.  Baryom is who I dealt with.  The one thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth is all the rains I gave away.  I rained  atleast 0.5BTC over the 5 to 6 hour session.  But hell it sure made me feel like a rockstar.  Atleast for a short while.
thanks everybody, theraker

It depends mostly on how much you invested to begin with. If you invested 1 or 2 BTC I'd call it a win. If you deposited more then It'd be a bit of a gray area, because you did find this via a bug, while you made the site better, their ToS must have some sort of appendix for this specific case scenario and you're probably not entitled to much more than what you originally invested.

I'd say you got off just fine, so cheers for that.

I don't remember what crypto gambling site it was (maybe it was Fortunejack) where the player also won several BTC from a bug as well a him playing in the US which is also not allowed, the wrong move he did is he  asked a proxy from another country to deposit his winnings in the gambling site which made a whole lot of mess with his scam accusation. But at the end when all things cleared out they let the player receive all the winnings even if it was from a bug and even if he was playing in the United States, overall I think your case is still acceptable. You aren't allowed to even play in their casino in the first place and they have the right to hold and freeze your account for the violations you have committed, you can't really ask for more at the end.

When you do violate something into their rules or Tos then it would automatically mean that you wont really be recieving anything.Good thing that owners or some admins are considerate on such situation and since you able to find out some bugs then its just ethical for them to made such step on rewarding the said player whom able to found up a bug even he violate some rules, he still eligible to receive up some rewards.If they dont then that will somehow show negativity into their part.In op's case, he's quite lucky on receiving that something big even though he dont able to withdraw the entire
38btc and i do appreciate his honesty.

The title is so click-bait and misleading. You were fairly treated, and given a generous winning amount as well. Responsibly you reported the bug and hence you were awarded more and you withdrew. You weren't forced to pay back your winnings but rather only the winnings due to bug were removed as you confess. It's a fair move!

Why should you give it back to them, maybe they shouldn't run casinos and other sites with full of bugs. Its their fault so enjoy their losses ^^

i didnt know that winning too much is now considered a bug  . you didnt think of other reasons instead like you could be winning because you are only lucky  . it only becomes a bug if you are not loosing before or not loosing during that session even at once  . more profits is only the thing that you wanted but you yourself already spoiled it so there is nothing to be blame here but you and your self alone , sorry  .  i still salute you somehow because you are an honest person   .

Nothing beats out on being a honest person and people do have different ways on dealing up with things. Most people might be greedy but there are some
which are really honest and not try to take advantage on others flaws which is great.

Why should you give it back to them, maybe they shouldn't run casinos and other sites with full of bugs. Its their fault so enjoy their losses ^^

Even if you dont tend to give it back, once they do saw these winnings then that one will surely trigger out house red light and
they can anytime hold up your withdrawals as they like. Lucky for you if you do able to pull it out but in most cases
you would really be still in questioned if bets does really involved bug related things.

6.5 BTC is already big, just be grateful that you have that kind of bounty reward. It is proven that bug bounties do really pay big, but also depend on their budget and integrity as well.

Think about this man. 6.5 BTC x $9,200 = $59,871

I think in Philippine peso, it’s kinda almost P2.5 million peso. I would definitely take that as a bounty reward no matter what. Your honesty had them reward you with this amount. Congrats!
