Dec 17th
I contacted them regarding my pending withdrawal.
They are telling me I need to fill in the details in my account profile. I did it.

Dec 19th
They told me they need to check the bets and transactions on the account and closed my account.

Dec 20th
They are telling me they found the issue with one of my bets. B607544431 saying it was graded as win and it should be lost.

They changed that bet from HT/FT 1/1 to HT/FT X/1

As a "sign of good will" they let me 80 mBTC that I deposited and voided every single bet after that one I won. Something feels wrong here.

Odds on home team to win were around 2.20 so that means 1/1 should be around 3.30-3.45 AND IT IS, and X/1 should be 5.50+.
So they changed my bet, but didn't change the odds on the bet slip!!!

They also declined my withdrawal from Dec 12th (W607768698).
On December 20th they put my balance to 80 mBTC when in fact it should stand at 367.21 mBTC.

Dec 28th
Withdrawal requested (20 mBTC).
Withdrawal declined saying I withdrew already 15 , 30 , 40 mBTC which is more than 80 mBTC they "gave me as a sign of good will" so they took 85 mBTC from my balance.
Balance on the account 2.08 mBTC.

Dec 30th
I deposited (50 mBTC) here because I had only 0.08 mBTC on my account when I should have 374.29 mBTC.

Jan 8th
My balance here according to them was 0.98 mBTC so I deposited again (80mBTC). My balance if they didn't cheat would be 375.19 mBTC.

https://imgur.com/tD1JPl5

Jan 12th
Requested withdrawal 60 mBTC.

https://imgur.com/XYYf5wO

It gets real interesting here. I was still logged in and two minutes after this bet I have noticed that there's another bet on the same outcome but with 61 mBTC stake. That was impossible since I had a withdrawal pending I did not place that bet. I contacted support (someone was online) and they explained to me that they declined my withdrawal because I didn't put in the same address as I did during previous withdrawals. Well, that is not true, because I requested the withdrawal to the SAME ADDRESS as I did previously.
The address WAS THE SAME. You can see it here
https://imgur.com/IVDbIAK

I also asked them what about that bet I didn't place and asked them to void it. They did after some time and told me they won't be able to do it in the future (this is really important now).

They voided the bet, I requested another withdrawal 60 mBTC to that same address.

Jan 13th
Now, after the bet B610486144 I had 67.82 mBTC on my account. That match will be played on January 15th.
So, January 13th comes and I am sitting in my living room when I receive an email from adkinsbet that I have canceled my withdrawal and requested new ones and on the different BTC address so they declined those, and then they tell me I placed one bet for 67.82 mBTC on one match
Spanish cup, Girona - Cadiz over 1,5 goals in the first half on January 16th at 16:00 CET

https://imgur.com/HrAdmYy

As soon as I saw that I ran to my computer and contacted support. I told them it wasn't me who cancelled the withdrawal, requested new ones or placed that bet. At that moment it didn't cross my mind that they would do something like that. It was all clear when they told me that they can't void that bet because I placed it and they already voided one bet per my request (the first "phantom bet") and can't void this one even though it was 4 days away (because of their license provider). The first one they voided was in-play bet and the score in that one was already going in my favor.

I asked them a few times just to cancel that bet and let me withdraw my balance. They declined stating I am responsible for my account because my first thought was that someone cracked my password but that was not the case.

It all became very clear when another user posted accusation thread where he also had the same problem with bets not placed by him.

So you equally saying all the accusations topics about Adkinsbet created in this boards are all lies and screenshots are incorrect?
All have similar issue of voiding bets and unaware bets placed on their respective dashboards with other issues.

It's terrible it turns out that Adkinsbet now has many accusations and bets that have been canceled, almost every problem keeps coming but doesn't solve it. Is this one-sided in canceling it?

Redtrust looks like it will not disappear if you see like that it is difficult to believe again the trust in adkinsbet gambling, seeing the amount that cannot be returned is a large amount.

Specifically, do you have these support messages in writing? There's no reason to decline the withdrawal in this case and it brings doubt to the forefront of AdkinsBet's claim.By the way... the number of scam accusations don't matter, guys: it's what you discover within the content.

So you equally saying all the accusations topics about Adkinsbet created in this boards are all lies and screenshots are incorrect?

If I make twenty scam accusations about a site with Newbie accounts, that shouldn't sway your opinion unless the evidence provided was substantial enough. The previous threads, however, do exhibit a lot of AdkinsBet's problems.

[scammed-by-nitro]

From the coming of adkinsbet in this forum I have noticed this is the only sports betting site which has already got a huge response from this community. They come in this forum during November 17, 2020 and there ann thread is already 98 pages and 14209 views. It's really a lot response in a short periods.

But unfortunately People are persistently coming with accusation. This really bad and I can see some flags also. Still have time to resolved all the issue and keep growing adskinsbet with this bitcointalk community.

Check their trust site and you know why.

[Adzivu]

I deposited again because I was dumb to trust you.

Here are some matches with similar odds.
You are saying my screenshot is edited. It's not.
You edited the bet.

How is it possible to have odds 3,40 on a HT/FT outcome of X/1 when the industry standard is 5,00+ on that outcome, and at the same time on 1/1 odds are just around the ones I placed the bet on 1/1?
Those are just a few games from the past, and few future games with those odds. Anyone with a few working brain cells can see that a team that has odds 2,20ish to win has the same odds on 1/1 as the game I placed my bet on.

Only thing logical here is that you didn't like that I was making profit and decided to "find a mistake" in the first bigger bet I won, and cancel all the other bets so you don't have to pay.
By reading this forum I came to the conclusion that I am not the only one you did that to.

https://imgur.com/YSN6LuU
@actmyname, here's them saying to me why they rejected that 60 mBTC withdrawal and where they voided that bet. I don't mind them voiding it because I asked them to do it.

Here is the chat log from that day they canceled my withdrawals, made me think I had a security breach, and placed that bet for 67,82 mBTC on that ridiculous Spanish cup game.
Notice how they advised me to place 194 mBTC bet on the opposite outcome?
Isn't that "arbitrage betting" and they are advising me to do it? If I read correctly they told the same thing to one other user here on the forum.
I obviously declined to do that. Why would I deposit another 194 mBTC on the site that already declined to let me withdraw my funds?

https://imgur.com/g7k7J4Y

Poland - Tunisia bet was the last bet I MADE on my account before they placed the rest of my funds (that I requested a withdrawal for) on that Spanish cup game.
That's why I mentioned it in the chat, if I wanted to place all my balance on something it would be that game, and not the one they chose.

[TalkStar]

I deposited again because I was dumb to trust you.

You did the same mistake again by depositing on that platform for second time. After facing issues with your first bet how did you get confidence to make another. Already there is active accusations against this platform and you can easily get information about that by visiting the trust page of Adkinsbet forum profile. You will also get open flag there.

Don’t forget to support flag and keep other gamblers away from them.

Hello Ray, can you sign a wallet like Cloudbet and others have done in the past? It would be good for all users reading the scam allegations to know Adkinsbet had funds and would not selective scam its users.

Customer screenshot is incorrect. Has been edited. Players are responsible for their own bets.
If you are 100% sure we changed your bet, why would you then deposit again on our site after that?

Ray

[Adzivu]

They are ignorant to all those requests.

[JollyGood]

Please elaborate on this a little bit more. Did you ask Adkinsbet to sign a wallet to prove they solvent and therefore the chances of them selective scamming users would be minimal?

They are ignorant to all those requests.

[JollyGood]

I thought I would at post the images that you posted links to. This makes it a lot easier for others to see the images.

Maybe at some point Ray will sign an address to prove to everybody that Adkinsbet is solvent and has no need to selectively scam users.

[scammed-by-nitro]

Did you create a flag against them? You should do that right now so that other users are warned.

Its disgusting what bs this site is pulling.

[nutildah]

I don't know what to make of this case exactly, but I do know that this is the worst excuse I've ever heard from a casino for delaying a withdrawal:



They payments team declined the withdrawal because "they're updating the blockchain today"?

Don't "they" update the blockchain every day, roughly once every ten minutes? This seems like an excuse churned out by someone who knows next to nothing about bitcoin.

Your argument has nothing to do with the initial reason why he opened the topic here. He claimed that Adkinsbet have placed bets for him. The fact that they wrote him to extend the delay for 1 day more, has nothing to do with this. So do not try to find irrelevant things that are from a completely other subject.
Maybe you miss it all, but this user wrote that Adkinsbet paid him already multiple times. Bookmakers who want to scam customers, should not pay out at all.
It is getting more and more obvious that all DT members choosing sides from the "victims" because they do not want their empire to fall down.

Instead of taking this route it would have been more effective to come up with an explanation for what customer support meant by saying they were "updating the blockchain."

If you'll notice, I haven't actually taken one position on this particular issue or another, but what I do know is I wouldn't play at a casino that uses "updating the blockchain" as an excuse to withdraw delays.

[zikzik]

Sorry to see the loss of funds , but you did the right thing by exposing another bookie. Does anybody know what can be done , apart from a flag on their profile to get these bookies BANNED FOREVER from these forums? There is a growing number of bookies here that are voiding bets, changing bets , changing TOS etc to scam the people and it cannot continue to be advertised here.


Any advice would be appreciated.

I laughed at "updating the blockchain".

They just don't want to resolve the issue because they are saying I placed that bet (Girona- Cadiz), and I saw the same thing happened to another user so I don't think it's a coincidence what they are doing.

The fact that they changed the bets is also alarming. How did they (as they say) wrongly graded exactly that bet that I made big profit on, and not some other bet?
They just don't want to pay out winning players and are using same tactics as other known scamming bookies.

Paying out once or 2-3 times and then saying why would they do that and scam someone later is bullshit. That's exactly what they would do.

I hope you do not get scammed by any of these scam websites such as Adkinsbet, they seem to announce they are open for business then have purchased sock-puppet accounts and paid shills pumping their thread trying to show them as being something brilliant when they are completely the opposite. Trash.

Think about it, Adkinsbet have run out of excuses to justify their scamming so now updating blockchains is a new buzz word for them.

The Adkinsbet representative Ray has not responded to my request he sign an address to prove Adkinsbet have funds and are solvent because Cloudbet and others have done it when scam accusations were levelled against them.

None of the paid shills or sock-puppets have asked Ray/Adkinsbet to sign an address either but that is no surprise
