Adkinsbet SCAM

[Adzivu]

They left the forum because of the attack on them as they say.

It's just an excuse to leave without any consequences.

So pathetic

One less scam to worry about

There should be some big warning sign for all forum users once there is a slightest chance that bookie is a scam

You should thank me. I annoyed them so much and destroyed their reputation without any reason because I hate new competitors to come in the industry.
At your service.

They left because they know we are right. Keep on trolling.

[Adzivu]

Obviously no answer from them.

They say they are left the forum but that's not the case.

Since they closed their ann topic they could answer to all the accusation topics but they are not doing that.

[Adzivu]

Still nothing new here.

You will not be able to get any updates from them, they are proven scammers and trolls. Sadly the next best thing you can do it try to disrupt their domain by reporting them to their domain registrar - that just might get their attention and hopefully they will settle all claims against them in the hope of having their domain restored.

I'm not sure that would help.  I don't think AdkinsBet will end with AdkinsBet.  In this post Nutildah shows evidence that AdkinsBet and Malubit are very likely run by the same scammer.

There's also this account that seems to be the same person; Mark_Pitibet, who posted the Ann thread to pitbet.io.  Although it appears that the website never worked, lol.

I suspect this scammer is bouncing from one URL to another.  Obviously he has multiple accounts, why not multiple URLs?

There are only so many accounts that people can buy to shill for casinos. Eventually, all you'll have is the initial launch campaign to spur growth.At the end of the day, nothing will change if people choose to blindly trust sites that have operated for x amount of time - scams happen in crypto and as far the forum is concerned, it's nothing to concern oneself with.

When we finally get that welcome message or a redirect landing page, that will mitigate some scam potential - DefaultTrust users are only useful after victims present accusations (or, they'll have to spend a lot of time looking deeply into new sites as they come).

Emphasis mine.

I hope you don't really believe that.  The trust system and the flag system are efforts meant to mitigate scam opportunities.  The community does a good job finding some before they can victimize people, and attempts to reduce opportunities for those that do.

Sure, there are many "reviews" in the trust system that have nothing to do with trading, but that's not the only measure of someone's trustworthiness.

A welcome message would be helpful, if enough newbies actually take the time to read it.

Emphasis mine. Rule-wise. Administrative-wise.

I want you to think about why scams are apparently unmoderated on the forum - the reason that was given - and then try to imagine how that would apply when Newbies aren't given any welcome messages or warnings about all members (especially outside of the convoluted trust system). Might be a bit cynical but it's not hard to notice some glaring things that are missing.

How about this funny little board, too?

As hard as it may be to picture me thinking, I have once or twice.  The unofficial (official) reason given is a bit sparse, I must admit:

19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: Why haven't you banned <insert scammer username here> who is an obvious scammer?
A: Possible (or real, not for me to decide) scams are not moderated to prevent moderator abuse. If we start picking out which ones we call "scammers" and ban, we would make a lot of decisions based on biased opinions.

But it actually makes perfect sense.  Bias is real, and humans are prone to it.  Mistakes are also possible, regardless of bias or any other ill intent.  Would a welcome message help?  Possibly, it couldn't hurt.  I may not be as optimistic about it's effectiveness as you are, however.

Another possible reason for the admins' neutral position could have something to do with this:

I'm an anarcho-capitalist

Which, in light of where we're having this discourse, also makes sense.

Despite the absence of a welcome message, or lack of moderation, the forum is not to blame for scams.  No one is to blame for scams other than the scammer, but the other thing that's needed for a scam to work is a victim.  That's the unfortunate reality.  Some of us are just stubborn, and need to learn things the hard way.  Scammers are nearly impossible to prevent, and victims only slightly less difficult.

Just a day or so ago someone claimed to be scammed by a tagged and flagged AWS account scammer.  That means they clicked on the scammers thread, ignored the big red banner across the top of the page, ignored the little red negative numbers next to the scammers name, and contacted said scammer anyway.  Even if there was a welcome message explaining how all this stuff works, it'll only work if it's not ignored.

Where are all those justice advocates from Adkinsbet?

Where are all those justice advocates from Adkinsbet?

AdkinsBET's trolls only care to advocate justice when other sportsbooks are implicated.  They only want to besmirch the names of legitimate sportsbooks so that theirs doesn't stand out as an obvious scam.  Not only is it not helping, it's actually causing further harm to the AdkinsBET brand.  If the troll behind all those accounts had a single functioning braincell he would have recognized that already.

well, they aren't stopping it seems that they are targeting sportsbet.io at the moment not sure what sportsbet.io did to adkinsbet but it seems that they are desperately trying to stain sportsbet.io's reputation. they are now even necrobumping dead thread that has something to do with sportsbet. I feel bad about them their platform was starting to take off but decided they wanted to scam people what a waste of money-making opportunity.

With a flag and several negative tags, it's only up from here. Hard to damage something that's been broken.

How is it possible that they are allowed to have another thread that is "lead by someone else" but everyone knows it's the same guy/group of people?

All the users that were defending them have changed their avatars and signatures so when some new guy comes to their thread they  will see "normal" users discussing that bookie.

because it is a free forum that can be used by anyone and scams/scammers aren't moderated. as far as the admins are concerned it is the community's responsibility to let other people know about scams and it is also the people's responsibility to search for what they want to try. the internet is full of scams and scammers you can't expect the admin to shield every people from it. they should learn how searching around before using a service or anything on the internet so they can avoid a potential scam. I know this is frustrating but there's really nothing we can do other than spread information.

those members are tagged and if ever a newbie got scammed by them I don't think it is anyone's fault but him/her. the forum has instructions and guides to let them know what feature the forum has and what it meant they should really read them before going around and try out services or make a transaction with anyone.

[JollyGood]

The forum (though moderated) is not moderated to the extent the owners censor scam threads. They do not check when scammers start using this forum to promote scam ICOs and scam websites.

Regarding their sock-puppet and fake accounts that will change avatars and signatures, they will always have red negative trust on their profiles therefore it will be difficult for them to fool the majority of their target audience but sadly as always a minority will end up being scammed no matter how much you try to protect them.

Unfortunately I found the thread only now. I have also opened an account with Adkinsbet. I lost some bets and made new deposits. I send my first withdrawal and received 300 Euro. After my next payout request they asked for verification. This took  few weeks but was successful.
But now I am waiting for my next withdrawal since weeks. I've 2.480 Euro on my account. There is no answer from support to my question. I think these money is lost...

I suggest for you to create a separate thread from this so you can get attention from the members and I also suggest for you to provide evidence so members can decide whether to believe you or not. they have a thread here and I would have suggested posting your issue there but it is full of shills that would most probably troll you(or maybe not) if you said anything bad about adkinsbet.
