If you want sincere help from the forum users, you need to follow the format of using this board. This will give them full picture and good basis of your complaint. They can't help you if you are just talking numbers here. Based from what I have seen, lightlord already paid their sig campaign participants, maybe site players will be next. But if you do want to get your winnings, better post your complaint in the below format -

You haven't shared a lot more details that could help us figure out what happened. Please use the scam report format to guide you.

How long ago did you attempt to make a withdrawal?
Bitvest's Founder has been under the spotlight in the last few days for being absent/Offline and not paying signature participants for almost 10 weeks. They say he was apparently sick, but no one knows for sure.

He came back and paid the participants all the 10 weeks today, Maybe you should try sending him a PM about your issue.

[Cnsba]

Hi
I did send him a pm.   He has not replied ,
I have been a player on bitvest for a while.  But never cashed out a substantial amount.   On Wednesday I had a very good run and won a good bit of money ,  I attempted a cash out and it just would not allow me to cash it out.  The transaction pin was tagged invalid .  I just used it a couple days earlier to cash out $520.00.   The pin is correct.  I have 2FA enabled it was not hacked or changed.  It simply will not recognize the pin.  The password is fine , 2FA is fine , it’s that pin.   
Since then I have opened a ticket without luck
Talked to a mod (no luck but they tried )
Sent him a PM on here (no reply ) 
I find it odd because after reading about his sight I am learning he was not paying investors for a long long time . And now that I have a several thousand dollar win , I coincidentally ran into trouble and he won’t reply to me either.    I have no reason to lie.  Personally I care but I don’t care because the initial deposit on this win was not big at all . But it was a once in a lifetime type of win that I really as a long time player am entitled too.    I wish I could post pics of conversations with the mods but I have no clue how to post a pic on this site forum.  As I see no direct upload link. 

Thanks

@Cnsba, there have been some complaints in the main Bitvest thread that their hot wallet might be empty empty, which is why withdrawals are currently unavailable. Perhaps that is the case with your account as well. As lightlord rarely posts on this forum, you are better off seeking support directly on their website. In the event that it does not yield results, you need to gather as much evidence as you can and write a proper scam accusation report.

[Poker Player]

It sounds plausible to me, as there have been many complaints about delays in withdrawals and an absolute lack of communication in the official Bitvest.io thread, but if you want your accusation to be credible you have to post what you said in the other thread:

I absolutely do have evidence , far more than enough to make the accusation.

any update regarding your issue? lightlord paid his participants yesterday, I'd assume his next step is to fill his casino's hot wallet in order for the gamblers on his casino to be able to withdraw.

and yeah, I agree with Poker Player. it would be best and beneficial for you to include the evidence you have.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

This makes me wonder if any other users of Bitvest are having withdrawal issues that might be related to lightlord's alleged illness--or rather, whether the two issues are related.  If so, there's no way a gaming site should depend on a single person, but I didn't think Bitvest was run that way (not that I gave it much thought, not having used the site myself).

I would encourage any forum members who've had similar problems to post them in this section--with details--because we could be seeing the beginning of some massive drama if this isn't an isolated event.  While I hope that's not true, I'm very familiar with the problems lightlord's campaign participants have been having getting paid, and I wish they would all just drop Bitvest's signature.  

If anything could rouse him from his silence, that might be it.  As it stands, he's getting a lot of free advertising and there's now one complaint that a user's funds are frozen (though there's no evidence presented yet).

Edit:

lightlord paid his participants yesterday

Oh!  I must have been typing when you posted this, and I wasn't aware that he'd paid them.  That's a good sign, and I'm glad they got paid.  So if lightlord is back, I suspect OP's issue will be handled appropriately.

sure evidence is very needed when accusing someone. lgihtlord may have faults for delaying but it seems he has no intention of scamming since he paid bounty hunters still.

since lightlord paid his campaign participants the casino withdrawals must have also been paid. OP should really be providing more details and screenshots if possible. ruining casino reputation is very common when the competition is harsh.

This makes me wonder if any other users of Bitvest are having withdrawal issues that might be related to lightlord's alleged illness-

The problems with the retreats go back a long way and have nothing to do with Lightlord's alleged illness (when I say alleged, it's not that I believe it or not, it's that I have no way of verifying it).

This is something that is commented on a lot in the bitvest thread. In the end people end up getting paid, but we are in the same situation as with the signature campaigns, people request a withdrawal and it can take weeks to get the money:

These are all comments from the last page in the official bitvest.io thread:

...what's important on this thread is the hot wallet of bitvest and that should be the main concern ....

I am also looking for what actually happened to the hotwallet issue but no one seems talking about it...

(This is actually a laugh because there has been a lot of talk about it in the thread, the only thing that has been covered up by people talking about the signature campaign in that thread.)

even a loyal customer will get frustrated if they are waiting for weeks to get their withdrawal to be processed.

The main problem of the hot wallet is basically similar to the campaign issue. When the hot wallet is empty, lightlord seems to be very slow in refilling it so players have to wait for weeks before withdrawal is processed.

But hot wallet and the campaign payments can't be considered as same priority thing, I agree that everyone who is working with their campaign should get paid on time but it has very simple solution just let the campaign manager himself to proceed the payments weekly but handling the hot wallet can be tricky if he is busy amd still don't want to trust anyone.

In my opinion, hot wallet should be the first priority as it is related to their players who are their customers. They may lose their players based if the hot wallet issue is happening really often. As I said in other thread, lightlord should use an escrow for the campaign and trust the escrow to do everything related to the campaign so he can have more time to handle the casino.

If so, there's no way a gaming site should depend on a single person, but I didn't think Bitvest was run that way (not that I gave it much thought, not having used the site myself).

I would bet that that is how it is run

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Yeah, I'm aware of that.  I somehow got involved in this whole drama because I was the only DT member at the time (in 2019) who tagged lightlord for the campaign mismanagement, so I've taken an interest whenever problems with him flare up--at least as far as the campaign payments go, and there haven't been any issues until recently that I know of (but I haven't exactly been monitoring the Bitvest campaign thread).

This is something that is commented on a lot in the bitvest thread. In the end people end up getting paid, but we are in the same situation as with the signature campaigns, people request a withdrawal and it can take weeks to get the money:

I wasn't aware of that fact, and if that's true--and I have no reason to doubt you--there's no excuse for it.  There are a lot of crypto casinos out there that function like clockwork if I'm not mistaken, and keeping a hot wallet filled should never be an issue for one that presumably takes in a lot of crypto.  That could be done with the right programming of the casino's software, no?

I would bet that that is how it is run

I wouldn't take the other side of that bet, sadly.  But I think that's the only explanation for why the hot wallet would continue to be empty.  Knowing that, why on earth would anyone continue to play on a site run like that?  Maybe some of Bitvest's clientele could answer that for me.

Since lightlord has paid the pending signature campaign participants , OP should be hopeful that his case will be taken care of shortly. Just give lightlord some time because he is a busy personality. I have not gone thoroughly in his accusations against bitvest but if he is right, he will be paid.

I don't know if any of them will come this thread, but I'll tell you what I think.

The problems are only with large withdrawals, and the complaints are buried in a thread of more than 200 pages in the gambling section, so they have appeared from time to time and end up hidden by other comments of people who write to meet their post quota. It is only now after the problem of the delay in the payment of the signature campaigns was added to the problem that people have started to tie things up. The first time I saw an accusation about this I didn't believe him because he was a member with negative trust, but after one accusation, and another, and another... added to the delay in the payment of the sig campaigns, you end up believing what they say.

The point is that many people don't know what's going on and all they know is that these are casinos that are very old, that are advertised on the forum and that Lightlord (until recently) had a good reputation. I guess now things are changing.

~snip~

There are some past allegations also regarding hot wallets being empty most of the the time and players awaiting withdrawal from days like this which i already mentioned that the @OP is claiming Bitvest to be scam and seriously the withdrawal could not be delayed because the owner is not well and that seems to be weird reason as you are professionally dealing and that's not right.

As you have already mentioned some of the people claiming about the same hot wallets issue and i found out that's true as many are opening similar threads now about it and many are saying same withdrawal issues on Bitvest.First of all 10 weeks payment awaited and now the same types of problems on the casino.I also think lightlord is the only owner of the campaign and casino and that's why some issue have been raised.

If you check the ANN thread of Bitvest, you'll find some similar complains about empty hot wallet.
In most cases, those users need to wait for weeks till they get their withdrawal.
I do not mean to support OP, I do not agree if it is considered as scam but it is about slow withdrawal process especially when the hot wallet is empty.

Although signature campaign payments for round 137-146 have been paid off with bonuses to all the participants and hope they all are now relived but still some issues related to casino have come into notice now.

You as a newbie, can't post images on this forum.
Make screenshots of conversations and anything which you think can clearly prove your claims, then upload it on https://imgbb.com/ for example.
There you need to choose embed codes as BBcode full linked here's a picture of what it looks like.
some of the older members will already quote your post for better visibility.

Thanks !   Revising now

You already have another post about Bitvest in the gambling section and there's an instruction on how to create the right format from one of the responses, I don't know if you read your own thread, it will be 24 hours, we're waiting for the proofs, these are allegations that you need to substantiate but hopefully, in the end, your issue will be resolve just like how Lightlord resolve the bounty payment.

I wouldn't take the other side of that bet, sadly.  But I think that's the only explanation for why the hot wallet would continue to be empty.  Knowing that, why on earth would anyone continue to play on a site run like that?  Maybe some of Bitvest's clientele could answer that for me.

I don't know if any of them will come this thread, but I'll tell you what I think.

I haven't played at Bitvest since last three years. The last time I played there was in 2018. So I'm not a client of bitvest now, but I would like to correct one thing here. This accusation hasn't reached to the empty hot wallet issue yet. There is a option to set transaction PIN in Bitvest. User can't request for withdrawal if he/she forget his transaction PIN.



And OP said that

But just so you know I have it in my account on bitvest , it’s not being withdrawn , it cannot be.  It’s not pending. For some reason on this particular large win my pin is not working.

The transaction pin was tagged invalid . ~  I have 2FA enabled it was not hacked or changed. It simply will not recognize the pin. The password is fine , 2FA is fine , it’s that pin.

It means this investigation is going with a wrong concept. OP need a response from bitvest team/admin to reset his transaction PIN and request the withdrawal.

Anyway, it is always difficult to get response from bitvest admins. Hot wallet issue is a common thing in bitvest. A user lost big amount as his withdrawal was getting delayed for empty hot wallet in the last month
(I need admin of Bitvest to come here and explain! ( Not paying my winning)).
‘lightlord’ should hire a support manager & financial admin to resolve this kind of issues quickly.

[Cnsba]

I’m going to revise this and say ok.   It’s not a “scam” per say.   I would call it a non payment of winnings.   
I can post attempts to contact the admins ,  but they never reply so I can’t post conversations
I can post dialogue with the super mods ,  but what will that prove.  The mods tried to reach out .
So a casino not helping a player withdrawl their winnings is a better word then scam.   What I can tell you is that my initial deposit was turned into about $4000 , and when I went to withdrawl the transaction pin was kicked back as invalid.  I opened tickets and got nothing , I emailed and got nothing , I pm’d on here and got nothing.  Why the pin didn’t work is beyond me , however it has ALWAYS worked.  On this particular large withdrawl it didn’t work and support is not replying.   They run a business and should have support to handle things.  There is nothing suspect about anything , I have the same wallets and recovery wallets I have always used.   So I will back off the scam accusation because I simply can’t post conversations that don’t exist.  I can show open tickets and sent emails.  At this point I care but it seems as if they don’t ,  call me a liar.  Whatever.  I have no reason to lie and yes I’m new because well I never had a problem before.   I never complained about fairness or unfairness or anything.    So again any help would be appreciated.  For bitvest it would just be good business.
