Serious Sportsbet problem, they paid 38.32 LTC to the wrong address

[saoriKido]

Hello, sorry that I only registered to warn of this problem that I had today with Sportsbet.io I won a live bet of 38.32 LTC, I proceeded to request a withdrawal, which was pending for a while, until it was approved, but I was surprised that it was paid to an unknown address that did not belong to me, I wrote to the chat and they said that they cannot be held responsible because the money has already left them and the problem is mine, so is it possible that they can pay the direction they want and just wash their hands?


Unfortunately it is a drawback of the anonymity of cryptography, and it is your word against mine, I have been earning about $4000 in the last few weeks with withdrawals without problems, and there is no reason for me to want to trouble them if they have already paid me. I would like you to recommend a solution, Sportsbet has only washed its hands, and they probably believe that they are infallible by copying and pasting addresses, I only ask that they investigate it, I leave the transaction id and the LTC address where my money was paid:

This doesn't prove anything. How can you be sure that you didn't give a wrong address. There has been a trend of copy paste malware which can change anyone's content on the clipboard. It's possible that you have been infected with that malware and they changed your copied address into this address. Well, this is a possibility. It has happened with so many people.
Regarding sportsbet, I really doubt they would apply such shady method to not pay legit winnings. They are one of the coolest casino out there. From the last few days experience, one thing I learnt is that they care the most for their customers. Anyway, anything can happen. I will PM SB representative here to have a look here.

It can be a clipboard malware in a way that you will copy an address on your device, but the clipboard malware will past an hacker's address.

Did you check and recheck the address and you are sure that it is correct when you pass it on withdraw page on Sportsbet?


I will advice you to reinstall your device OS. If it is phone, format it to clean your device from search my way.

I use a trezor one cold wallet, and I have verified my pc and they do not have any type of malware. I think that since they are manual withdrawals, sometimes they cannot be 100% infallible, I repeat that I have no reason to falsely accuse them, since I was earning and receiving withdrawals very quickly from them, what I ask for is an investigation on their part in this manual payment

I am not an expert in cryptography, is there any way to find out at least from which exchange or billet company such LTC address comes from? I admit that it could not be infallible either, and although I have checked my devices for viruses and have not found them, this would be the only way to copy an LTC address wrongly, I mean, who could make a mistake copying an address and then not knowing where from? I copy it with a little research? In my case I have not been able to find the source of that address, I use coinbase, binance and my trezor cold wallet, and none of them have this LTC address on their list. If my problem is of any use, I hope that by reading this they will verify their addresses when charging and capture the withdrawal request to prove anything.

The second screenshot does prove that it is your mistake, you are claiming that you have inputted the wrong address. If you input wrong address, then how can you ask them to send it to the correct address of yours. In this case I do not think the casino has done anything wrong they quickly went ahead and cleared your withdrawal request to address given by you.

[saoriKido]

What are you taking about? In the screenshots I show that they have sent my money to an incorrect address, I obtain this address from the txid that they provide me, that does not mean that the address is the one to which I request the withdrawal. If there is any interpretation error, I am using the translator here and in the chat with sportsbet

Wait before your transaction was approved did you cross check the address before proceeding? Or you just copy and pasted it into your account and then requested for a withdrawal? I just want to know because they are malware that is capable of changing your copied address to a completely different address without you knowing while there are other that changes your address into a different one but it may still have the same digits that’s located at the ending and start of your address making it seem as if it’s your own address.

Right now your money is sitting in that wallet without any transaction being made, it’s not possible to know if that address is an exchange address or a non-custodial wallet you’ll have to wait for a transaction to be made before you can know if it’s an exchange address. And for the recovering, the chance of you recovering your money back if indeed the error that happened was as a result of an error you made is less than 1%.
Right now all you can do is hope that sportbets Carrie’s out the investigation and comes out with a result that shows that they were the cause and not you.

Seriously, is it possible that a hacker can even imitate the characters of my original address? is what you say real?

[piebeyb]

I think the casino won't send it a second time, the first reason they won't send it is that you can trick them into saying you entered the wrong wallet address or they will say it's your fault, so the money that was sent out won't work withdrawn, let alone sent it again because it has been confirmed by the network, that's how the crypto system works. cannot return the money that has been sent.

I'm not accusing you of cheating the casino, but the casino will think that way of you, therefore pay attention to what's wrong with you because there was a case where a virus worked on your keyboard and copied a wallet that didn't belong to you but belonged to a hacker, so this kind of virus it has been around for a long time, so why before withdrawing money, pay attention again to see if the address is correct, pay attention to the last number or letter and at the beginning. because when you enter the wrong wallet address and they have processed it then at that time they won't send it a second time because of your mistake, I'm still confused which is your real wallet address and the wrong wallet address. at least give the details.

I think that since they are manual withdrawals, sometimes they cannot be 100% infallible

They manually either confirm or decline it, they don't copy/paste or modify address.

What are you taking about? In the screenshots I show that they have sent my money to an incorrect address, I obtain this address from the txid that they provide me, that does not mean that the address is the one to which I request the withdrawal. If there is any interpretation error, I am using the translator here and in the chat with sportsbet

In the screenshot, you are saying following:
'Although I made a mistake copying an address, it should have reached me somehow'.
On this forum you are saying that you didn't make a mistake, I'm confused, did you copied a wrong address or not? To clarify once and for all.

Are you sure you don't have a malware in your computer? Are you really sure that when you copied address, you saw that the pasted address was actually your address and not this one MTiJxudm8tTcCrLwwNsykcRaUGoHjMFaAs ? Btw this address has only one transaction of 38.3LTC received with 0 spends.

As far as I know, casinos record absolutely every step. Ask their technical group to check which address you originally put when you asked for withdrawal.

What is your real litecoin address?

At first I think this is not the right place for topic. You can move it towards the reputation board here. Your evidence you have provided is not proof enough to back up your claims. Do well to provide your withdrawal records via your dashboard profile so we can see if truly what you are saying is correct. We understand your frustrations hence you see the response and possible solutions coming forth but you will have to come up plane with full proof.

Just as others have said, if you feel you did copy the right address but they paid to another wallet address then there is possibly something wrong with your device. Maybe it's been infiltrated with malware but if you have cross checked for your information properly you would have noticed it yourself before withdraw approval from your end. Anyways it's unfortunate but I do not think the casino would attend to your case as they have already made payment to the wallet address on your request.

What I would advise you to do now is to run a check on your device to making sure it is safe so that you do not have such experience in the future again.

Be honest, did you check the receiving address multiple times? If it is a "bug" it is an unusual case, so do not expect that you would get support for this accusation since the one that might be flawed, is you. Worst case, them, but I believe that is very unlikely given the reputation that they have. That is why I asked you if you checked if the address you put is correct. Sorry for your loss.

[Little Mouse]

I am not an expert in cryptography, is there any way to find out at least from which exchange or billet company such LTC address comes from?

If it belongs to any exchanges and the cold or main hot wallet of the exchange is known, then yes, you can know that. Otherwise, there's no chance you can know unless you go with a legal procedure to hunt down them though it's not guaranteed.

Seriously, is it possible that a hacker can even imitate the characters of my original address? is what you say real?

yeah, that's what I said in my first post. It's cold clipboard hijacking. Find out more information- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5420083.0
Alway make sure you double check the address when you paste it.

For sure you and them can verify if who commit a mistake regarding on that wrong address and if its proven that they are the one who commit that mistake then its their obligation to pay again the right amount since its not your fault on why transaction goes that way. But they can also verify that you are the one who made such mistake so expect that they will not send again since they already done with their obligation and you are the one who's to be blame for that situation.

How reputable is the gambling platform you're dealing with, maybe if possible you could mention the name here so other members could give a similar situation or tells you more you need to know about them being reputable or not, secondly there should be a prove that shows your conversation with their support team and how they responded, am not sure if I've ever witnessed this kind before by any gambler, are you really sure you doesn't provide them with the wrong receiving address, if everything that you pointed out happen to be true then you should move this thread to scam accusation board for proper reporting format.

[stadus]

You admitted that you made a mistake in copying the address. The responsibility is not on sportsbet.io anymore. Also, you have to understand that transactions in crypto are irreversible. This means they won't be able to hold the recipient accountable. Sorry, mate. I think you just need to learn from your mistake.

As of now, I believe sportsbet.io has still been able to maintain its good reputation.

Can litecoin transaction be reversed?

Perhaps your PC has been compromised. I've had a similar mistake in the past where I copied my address, but when I pasted the information, a different address appeared. Luckily, the amount I lost wasn't significant. This situation emphasizes the importance of double-checking the address before clicking the 'withdraw' button.

[Wapfika]

This kind of problem is very hard to win against casino your only way to prove that you are telling the truth is if you made screenshots on your withdrawal info before you proceed to withdraw. Sportsbet has a review withdral page before you confirm withdraw which means that you accept and check the withdrawal address.

Check your PC because it might be infected by clipboard malware that automatically change address to the hacker address. Sportsbet will not gonna do this kind of trick just to scam 38.32LTC.

Follow the money and hope that it will land on CEX to track the scammer identity.

You quoted it already, he mentioned the name of the sportsbook, I made it in bold to make you notice it.
It is reputable site, it has been running for years already, it can be said as one of the oldest crypto sportsbook.
Coming up to the problem by OP, it is high likely as mentioned by most other members before, there must be a clipboard malware that changed his copied address.
The other possibility is that he copied other address before and he did not actually copy his own address so once he pasted it, the pasted address is not his own.

Your case is very sad because 38.32 LTC is not a small amount $2529 so you should have withdrawn it carefully. The transaction hash you provided shows that it was transferred to a different wallet but how can we trust that the wrong wallet is not what you input there. It could also be that you input the wrong address there while withdrawing those LTCs quickly.  A friend of mine sent along the contract address of the same token while doing a quick transfer to his own exchange deposit wallet and he lost them. So we cannot blame sportsbet without any clear evidence

I have never admitted that I have provided an incorrect address, if so I would not be complaining. If the address I gave to sportsbet.io was previously copied inadvertently, in a two-step investigation I would know myself which address it is and where the money went, and most likely it is one more address of my property, But this is not the case.
