Macaw Casino SCAM RESOLVED

[JuanS2099]

Over Christmas,  I found this casino that started out to be pretty cool.  They try to act legit, and even paid a couple of failed transactions manually.  Long story short,  in the end they owed me 8,5 million satoshi balance on my account, PLUS 8x 30k satoshi LN invoices with error code (no route)  Then they blocked me from access to the site, deleted my user account, blocked me on Discord.   The link below is to a shared album on Google Photos.  open to the public.  Take care everyone!  Someone said in another post to post this here and let Macaw respond....... I'm looking forward to it.

I have created a shared album public access on google here:    https://photos.app.  goo.  gl/GS3dSv8SCwkFHXwF9

I gave these people one last chance to make things at least tolerable as seen in my reply to this thread and as of this time, no response.  They have tried to bash and make me look like a dishonest thief, which in my opinion I have proven my honesty in this matter.  I am going to go ahead and leave this issue in my tailwind.  The most important reason for my determination is that all of us that are involved with BTC or any other coin to any degree have no other way to make a fair argument than forums like this one.  Yes, there will always be scams, crooks, and COWARDS out there, but there will always be people like me that won't stand for it and defend themselves, and communities like this forum to settle the arguments. Thank you to all of the high ranking members, and any other that provided feedback no matter what. I hope to remain a member of this forum due to the level of fairness and also the involvement.  I honestly didn't expect anyone to give any attention.

What goes around most definitely comes around by karma, and nothing can stop that.

To @macaw_casino EPIC fail at conducting business, proving the SLANDER that you attempted towards me, and more importantly EPIC FAIL at having Integrity, or any other human values.  That little debt that you acquired with cheating me will be multiplied x1000's of times by the time you go to your judgement.  I can only pray that you feel it was worth it.  I am Nobody in this world, out of the spotlight, away from any kind of publicity for a reason.
Whenever you meet karma for everything you do (I'm sure I'm not the only one) and you get brought down to your knees and beg God for forgiveness, Nobody will be blame.

Everyone please enjoy the time bringing in the new year, and try to bring it in properly.  2023 will be a very unique year concerning karma and the way she handles return on investment.  No matter good or bad.  

By the way, here is another gallery on this subject since only 1 person that I am aware looked at the google album.

I recommend to both of you upload your pieces of evidence via screenshots and use IMGUR so we can see all the allegations and counter-allegations its good that you address this issue in a timely manner, if it's true that he committed attempts for multiple frauds and for threatening and abusing words, then it's just right that you only give back the deposits since you don't have it your TOS that you will compensate deposits of alleged abusers.

First time I've seen a casino with TOS that is very short

It's not exactly broken, OP accidentally click "Enter" few times. I remove the "Enter" and manage to see the images.

Macaws withdrawals are done instantly, directly from the casino via the lightning network. There is no need to wait for manual approval, you can do it as soon as you win. This user tried to manipulate the html of the website to make it seem that he had more funds than he did and convince our support team that he needed the transactions processed manually.  He also tried to claim some wins of other players accounts as his own.

I appreciate that you answer on here.  I respectfully decline the offer of deposit refund, I have uploaded my screenshots and evidence.  I have absolutely no reason to suppress any info.  I would love to see any threatening messages, and fraud attempt.

I think you should also prove what you are telling. That's quite a skill of OP that your staff believe. I didn't see the threatening messages.

On the part of the JuanS2099. I think there is missing from his photos. Macaw seems to be helping all that you need in order to withdraw. So why you guys end up talking about ref link?

Here is the link to that https://photos.app.goo.gl/GS3dSv8SCwkFHXwF9 so far so good on your part I don't see any manipulation
but this is based on your screenshots and pieces of evidence, now it's time for Macaw_casino to counter this and show the part of the multiple attempts of fraud, manipulation, and abusive and threatening messages before we judge who is correct on this since OP declined the offer of a refund.

Hmmm. His screenshot contains unique transaction ID that only means he is actually winning on your casino. How come he can manipulate this info by just changing the html? Also why you block the account instead of providing proof that his account doesn't contain any real balance? Blocking it only show that you are dodging responsibility for paying his winnings.

Since the OP has proof of his balance as well as his betting history. His case is very strong against your casino since you delete all the evidence that will support your claim.

Thank you so much for your insight and advice.  All of my proof has been uploaded.

We realize this is an issue, and will try to fix this in the future, but that's how it is for now unfortunately. I've just posted below how I can reproduce what the player did, and make it seem like the balance is much higher than it really is. Perfectly happy to help any interested parties to verify how to do this.

Quick Edit:


Manipulated screen:

[JuanS2099]

Thank you for the lesson in html.  I don't know why you feel the need to continue your claim about manipulation.  I have more than proved my point with not much room for doubt.  Also if that is the case, could you show in YOUR running history an enormous jump in balance such as you are insinuating?

We ask you to prove and show the big wins that you claim you had. You tried in your screenshots to claim ownership of winning games from user account jumbojet. This is not your account!  So where are the big win games that you claim?

[JuanS2099]

I am assuming that you missed my last reply.  

Here you go.

I see that by trying to call me out, you are backed into a corner with no defense left.  The others in this thread and I have asked you to show your records which you have failed to do.  I will tell you what.  If you're willing, I will settle for 4.5 million.  That will save you from further embarrassment, and save me time arguing with you on this forum.  This I will promise you and the rest of the forum.  If you settle this by those terms, I will show proof of your payment publicly on this forum, we can consider the matter closed and I will never intentionally do business with you again.

If you check the account history of this user, you should get all the information. He's claiming big wins, but you're saying he didn't get that kind of big win. So there is a confusion here.

Since you are running a company, we hope to get all the information clear from your side. Because here a lot depends on maintaining your reputation. This problem can only be solved by providing proper evidence from both sides.

I have placed my cards all face up on the table.  I am not sure what else I could do to prove my case.  I am extremely transparent in this matter.  However, I do want to take a minute and say thank you to everyone that has expressed concern. It isn't often that problems like this get acknowledged. 

I know I will probably never receive any sort of payment from them, Macaw did the same thing in this forum as on Discord.  They have no case, they disappear and block.

Truly thank you to all that have helped referee, and keep this matter fair for all involved without bias.

According to their rep you threatened them so they banned you from their discord. But there is still much more to be known to make the whole matter clear. If there's no suspicious activity after a big win, they shouldn't freeze your funds. Hopefully the facts behind it will come out and the community members will know who is at fault here.

Because such slander of a casino's name will surely have a big impact on their reputation. I look forward to hearing more to see how this matter will be resolved.
