⚠️ Warning: Bons.com - Disturbing Practices, Unfair Fees & Manipulated Reviews

[Russlenat]

Saw that they also came to the forum, suggest to stay away from their brand.

They don't have an ANN Thread but they are currently running a signature campaign.

I wasn't aware that they have an accusation here already. Maybe if they want to correct their mistakes in the past and answer it. They must maintain an ANN thread for that, simply running a campaign would help but it's better to have dedicated thread to answer all queries and defend their reputation.

Do you mean this one:

[CFNP] Bons.io Signature Campaign |The Telegram Casino|Next gen Gaming-Space

If that's true, the campaign just started a few days ago and is currently running for its first week. I saw different domain where Bons.com and Bons.io directed to the same casino. The campaign only pays $250 to all participants per week with $50 per participant indicating that they don't have much of a promotional budget, so it's probably true, everyone should be careful regardless of the results of your review of the casino.

They don't have an ANN Thread but they are currently running a signature campaign.

OP, if what you wrote about Bons.com is true, then they are not ready for the business yet, or should I say that they are in for ripping off unsuspecting people. I just started to see the casino's signature recently on the forum but I've not tried them and I do not think I can ever try them judging by what you said. If I read you correctly, you mean $800 minimum to withdraw via ETH, and 10% will be deducted from your money whenever you withdraw? These are enough reasons to dissuade people from using them. They could be successful in attracting customers due to their affiliate programs but they can't make such customers stay due to these ridiculous conditions in a more competitive gambling industry.

But for the Trustpilot review, I do not trust it, I don't even use it, and that website has never been a serious place to gain the best info if you are smart. Also, about the KYC, I think that's the standard for some companies these days and you can't blame them for that especially if they are truly regulated and the regulator demands such from them.

Exchanges ask for that often and people gladly oblige them.

@DunkGambler can you confirm if Bons.io and Bons.com are the same casino and operated by the same people? If yes, @Crypto Library might have to be informed about this, and they need to resolve issues. Last thing we want is a casino promoting itself here, yet they keep scamming users. Their safety index on casino guru is pretty low.

If we do manual check by visiting both .io and the .com, they are exactly the same so it must be a mirror link. There is also one other mirror link bons18.com, this link is given to all users who try to play/visit this casino through their telegram bot. Seems that Crypto Library did not do some researches first before he accept the offer from this casino to post an ANN thread or before he contacted them to offer his service to post ANN thread for them.

Managers or people trying to be managers should at least try to do a little research before accepting a job. Everything mentioned from the OP isn't exactly a solid scam accusation, but more a warning for potential accusations regarding KYC policy and heavy fees.

I would like to see bons rep come in here and address concerns.

Yeah, but I guess this is the first time that he handled a project it I'm not mistaken, and maybe he didn't do his due diligence to check the project itself unlike experience manager like you.

But let's see if the official rep come here and address the issues, and if the *.com and *.io are indeed the same casinos. And if yes, then it doesn't look good for the project or even for the campaign manager, just saying.

There’s a high chance that they are the same casino and just use a mirror link because the two website is identical when you visit. Typically casino usually secured their website in multiple domain and use it as mirror link.

But this thread is not updated anymore for almost 6 months which we don’t if the casino already improved or not since there’s no info in the OP. Besides, the casino reps don’t have a chance to defend their brand when this thread was created since they are still not active here. I’m not sure if this warning really standing because the OP didn’t mention if there’s no improvement than on the casino since this thread created.

Hello, we have a thread Bons Telegram | 5000$ Prize Pool Tournament for Bitcointalkers Exclusively

where we answer all questions from forum users and are open to feedback and suggestions, you can go and see for yourself.
What is written in this thread has nothing to do with reality.
You absolutely do not need KYC to play on our platform, you can log in using Telegram bot @Bons and get started without wasting time on verification.

Bons Telegram | 5000$ Prize Pool Tournament for Bitcointalkers Exclusively

We have just started our way on Bitcointalk, so so far our campaigns are not so large, but we have big plans and ambitions for the development of our project and in the future we plan to become only better for our users. Thank you for following us and giving us valuable advice, thanks to you we will be able to pay attention to our shortcomings and get better with every feedback.

OP, if what you wrote about Bons.com is true, then they are not ready for the business yet, or should I say that they are in for ripping off unsuspecting people. I just started to see the casino's signature recently on the forum but I've not tried them and I do not think I can ever try them judging by what you said.

Hello, what was written in this thread is absolutely incorrect, you can see for yourself by going to our Telegram bot @Bons and check the withdrawal amounts. All of them are formed on the basis of the network commission and have different amounts, but for example the amount of the minimum withdrawal of ETH, which is mentioned in the track, is 50$, and not 800$, which indicates the unreliability of information from the author and the desire to harm our reputation.
Also regarding KYC you can enter through our bot in Telegram and start playing immediately, without additional KYC procedures and you will have access not only to deposits and withdrawals, but also to welcome bonuses.
Also regarding trustpailot I can say that all reviews published there remain in place, you can check this by going to trustpailot and see the reviews. Of course, there will be negative ones among them, because there is a human factor and people can make mistakes and shift responsibility to the product. If it is a defect on our part, we always take the client's side and solve the issue in his favor. This may be why customers delete negative reviews after their issue has been resolved. This is how we handle negative feedback and protect our reputation.

Bons.io and Bons.com are the same casino and operated by the same people? If yes, @Crypto Library might have to be informed about this, and they need to resolve issues. Last thing we want is a casino promoting itself here, yet they keep scamming users. Their safety index on casino guru is pretty low.

Yes, it is the same project, the difference is in the positioning of payment systems, in Bons.com privilege is given to fiat payment system, in Bons.io vector is more directed to the use of cryptocurrencies. You can check for yourself, everything works fine and everything said in this thread is not reality.

If we do manual check by visiting both .io and the .com, they are exactly the same so it must be a mirror link. There is also one other mirror link bons18.com, this link is given to all users who try to play/visit this casino through their telegram bot. Seems that Crypto Library did not do some researches first before he accept the offer from this casino to post an ANN thread or before he contacted them to offer his service to post ANN thread for them.

You are absolutely right, it is the same project and bons18.com is a mirror link.  The only difference is the priority of payment systems. Bons.com is more suitable for fiat currencies, and Bons.io for cryptocurrencies

But this has no effect on the work of the product or on the fact that the author of the thread writes things that do not correspond to reality. You can make sure of it yourself in any convenient way for you, check the ease of registration and the amount of minimum withdrawals.

Managers or people trying to be managers should at least try to do a little research before accepting a job. Everything mentioned from the OP isn't exactly a solid scam accusation, but more a warning for potential accusations regarding KYC policy and heavy fees.

I would like to see bons rep come in here and address concerns.

Hi, thank you very much for your attention, but I assure you, if you use our platform yourself you will see that nothing of what you have written is true.
You may also notice that despite the fact that the author claims to be a long time user of the forum, he has no other activity besides this thread and is in newbie status.
I will not tell you who to trust and who not to trust, you can just use our Telegram bot @Bons and make sure that the information is absolutely untrue.

[Potato Chips]

Note: Started checking the website before bons' reply but I'll still post what I found as it provides depth to the issue.

I decided to make an account since some things from OP's claims are easy to cross check

Yes, there is a 10% fee on withdrawals but according from their payout rules, this only applies on your 3rd withdrawal for the day (with no deposit in between) since the first two are free -- it's actually a sweet deal you can take advantage of imo.

The Company allows no more than two payouts per day with no charges applied. If you exceed your daily payout limit, a 10% fee will be deducted from each payout. A payout refers to a sequence of any payout requests with no deposits in between. For example:

Deposit 1 -> payout request 1.1 + payout request 1.2 -> deposit 2 -> payout request 2.1 + payout request 2.2 -> deposit 3 -> deposit 4 -> payout request 3.

ETH minimum withdrawal amount is also at equivalent of 50 bucks



I'm not sure what's this for though because the actual USDT has a minimum of 10 bucks and no coin appears to have 5 bucks minimum.

Minimal withdrawal amount USD₮ 5.00

In any case, if OP stands by their claims, we would need some sort of supporting information from their end.

- I believe running a signature campaign without an ANN thread is OK, although you have a point that it's a way to address issues and it could also be used as a public live support for the casino.

- Because Bons is a centralized service, the casino can and WILL run their service their way, and make the decisions that they believe will be good for the business, although debatable.

- Unless someone was actually scammed by Bons, I believe OP should merely post a negative review without gaslighting everyone into believing that the casino is a scam.

BUT having that said, would I play in this casino with hidden charges, intrusive KYC, and high threshold for withrawals? NO.

[seoincorporation]

There is a problem about the license on this casino, the Antillephone NV 8048/JAZ has been used by many casinos in the past, and a lot of them end up as a scam, source: https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/8048-jaz-license-can-someone-explain.57269/

And when we try to validate the domain with the Antillephone validator, it says the domain isn't valid.

https://validator.antillephone.com/validate?domain=bons.com
https://validator.antillephone.com/validate?domain=bons.io

I would recommend being extremely careful while dealing with this site, because when you send them your personal data on the KYC process you don't know who they are, and you will not be able to complain in the future with the license provider because they don't have a valid license.

UPDATE:

I was wrong, we can validate the license in the icon on the footer of the site, and it's a valid one.

[Haunebu]

It's quite tough to tell whether this particular casino will scam customers or not at a certain point in the future. A signature campaign doesn't automatically legitimise them and sites like Betnomi etc can attest to that.

Their team seem to be trying to address all of these accusations in this thread, but they clearly aren't doing enough. Confusing and complicated mess!

Hello, very grateful for your review. As I mentioned before we have an ANN thread where we answer any questions you may have regarding our platform, prodding activities or the brand in general, more details can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5484894.0
We value our reputation and work hard to improve the quality of our product, so we have absolutely no interest in deceiving community users and our community as a whole. After all, it is thanks to you that we become better and more attractive.

1. The forum link you provided started in 2013 and the last post in it was in 2016. I don't know how relevant 8 year old information is to you, but in any case it's your right to choose your sources where to get it.

2- Licenses have been using dynamic printing for a long time now, which expires after 20 minutes of an open page.
To check if the license is up to date you need to go to Bons.com or Bons.io and at the bottom click on the Antillephone icon . and you will see that the license is valid and we are in a legal field to work in.


 
I urge you to verify the information before making it public, because these posts may confuse forum users and you are harming our reputation unnecessarily.

Hello, we value our reputation and play fair, as you can see none of the questions we have asked have gone unanswered and no evidence has been given that we are not playing fair.
In any case your best advisor is your own experience, you can go to Bons.io or use our telegram bot @Bons and you will see for yourself. Otherwise I wouldn't suggest you such a risky experiment if I wasn't sure of the product, would I?

You are right, i already updated the post and want to publicly apologize to you, the link on the footer of the site let us validate the license and it's a legit one.

The fact that someone used the same license ID 8 years ago is still weird for me, but that's the way that Antillephone manages their licenses, and is totally out of your control.

Thanks for clarifying this and for the fast answer, that's what i call great support and already leave a merit for it.

Saw that they also came to the forum, suggest to stay away from their brand.

@DunkGambler can you confirm if Bons.io and Bons.com are the same casino and operated by the same people? If yes, @Crypto Library might have to be informed about this, and they need to resolve issues. Last thing we want is a casino promoting itself here, yet they keep scamming users. Their safety index on casino guru is pretty low.

we can't judge them for now because they have not scammed anyone and probably Casino guru have not gotten enough information about the project so their score line is low for now but when the casino put everything in order then scoreline will rise and I believe with due time, all the necessary information will be giving to them. And as for the support team. If anyone wants to contact them, the person can contact through their representatives here and the two telegram bots. Both the Crypto Library telegram channel and the main bot of the casino for more information.

Thank you for following us and giving us valuable advice, thanks to you we will be able to pay attention to our shortcomings and get better with every feedback.

Yes, so far I see you have done something good and clarified the points in question and that is what is needed when someone is concerned about your project. Maybe you also need to realize that this thread is not some kind of accusation that is detrimental to the reputation you have built, but this thread seems to be a kind of inconvenience for users who complain about terms and conditions and fees.

I see you answered some questions and clarified them clearly, that is the best thing that will make your reputation improve. Anyway, I hope everything is fine and your project will get more and more attention from the community without ignoring the risks involved.

Thank you very much for your kind wishes, we will try to become better for our users and for this purpose the feedback from you is especially important, we appreciate it. That's why we are here to clarify unclear points and provide up-to-date information.

But when a topic is untrue and many users are misled by such statements, it is definitely damaging to our reputation, although as you can see there is no basis for this statement.
