Hello BitcoinTalk Community,

I am Admin Eva, representing the Blackjack.fun project and our dedicated team. Unfortunately, our community has been targeted by an individual named JackpotRacer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=524209), who is actively attempting to tarnish our reputation without any valid reason. JackpotRacer's actions seem to be a strategic attack, fueled by either a personal agenda, narcissistic behavior, or potential mental health issues. His relentless attacks extend not only within the BitcoinTalk forum but also outside of it, creating a false narrative and proposing a solution that amounts to nothing short of blackmail. The harassment campaign began in November, primarily focused on coercing us into creating blackjack tournaments for him. We want to bring this to the community's attention, as we believe in transparency and the support of our fellow forum members.

JackpotRacer has weaponized a scam accusations thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474047.0) to further his agenda, misleading others to achieve his goal. Notably, our decision to trigger a KYC on his account has triggered his attempts to portray himself as a victim, though we firmly believe we are within our rights to take such actions.

Among other things, the user, like a sore on the body of the community, tries to harm everyone who disagrees with him (by leaving negative feedbacks). Moreover, according to unconfirmed reports, his name appeared in a scam against one forum user. These factors are a big red flag which indicates that communication, trade and any other activity with this user is morally and materially dangerous. All these red flags should not go unnoticed.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Best regards,
Admin Eva

If you ask me I will say,  there is no need to step back from your activities here in the forum,  and if I don't remember I think I still recall how active blackjack fun was in taking bitcointalk members' feedback and suggestion by implementing them in the early days of your presence here in the forum,  so inline with that,  I suggest that you keep up with your activities and also try as much as possible to be active in responding to issues as promptly as you can.

Instead of going off totally which will affect your already-gained popularity here in the forum

Make everything open and clear so the community members can see and judge from the available evidence from both parties involved in this case.

Going off the forum will further speak negatively and less your visibility,  if you want to deal with it and gain your reputation then deal with it,  I believe the member involved will respond to this thread soon and let us see from the other side of the story,  for those of us who have not been following up with the case but have noticed blackjack fewer activities here for a while now.

I was one of the user who oversee that thread, alongside with several other prominent members, I don't think you should worry much about that thread, anyone who gave that thread a read can see how baseless the accusation is... well, JackpotRacer can't even spell out what's the scam about.

Nonetheless, several good points that's being brought to that thread and you happen to mention here should be addressed, as follow:


First is this one, this is a very poor problem solving strategy. By locking your ANN, you just cast an impression that you're evasive and has something to hide. Soonest you open them for public and re-engage to the community will be better.


Second, as you asked for advice for your reputation, as well as to clarify what really happens, there are two things that need your response and explanation, that is the Curacao license and the Provably Fair method. I can see that you've replace the license with... Anjuan Gaming... of Africa [this is the first time I am stumbled upon them], but it's probably better to give an explanation why for quite some time you have an invalid license in your page. I believe you're very close to get a tag or two for those matters.

I'll bring these issue of license and PF to Pmalek's and JollyGood's attention by mentioning them here as well as writing on JackpotRacer's thread, redirecting them here.

You haven't scammed JackpotRacer regardless of how many times he says it. He first needs to figure out what he wants and that's not happening. It seems that he wants to be back testing/playing blackjack on Blackjack.Fun and I don't think that's going to happen either. Perhaps it will after he conducts KYC, which he doesn't want to do.

No need to create a new ANN thread. You already have one. Reopen it and continue with your work. Other players might have valid questions or posts that they want to write there, but now they can't. Negative comments are unfortunately part of the game.

---

holydarkness has covered most of the questions I wanted to ask and that I asked in the scam accusation thread that JackpotRacer opened.
The issue with the wrong license has been solved, but do you want to comment on why the wrong one was there for so long?
The second issue is the Provably Fair logo. Are your games provably fair and can you prove it?

A few questions and comments on the bugs that JackpotRacer found.
What can you tell us about the timer reset bug? Are you working on it, has it been fixed, do you not want to fix it?
JackpotRacer does not have a case, but he did find several bugs. You fixed some, but the timer reset seems to be a major one that directly influences the outcome of a round. If that is true, you shouldn't be hosting real-money games until that is fixed.

I am glad a blackjack.fun representative has posted but I think you should have engaged with the community earlier with regards to recent events. Nevertheless, thank you for the post.

I will not comment on what the OP of that thread alleged but there are important questions to ask. As you can see, Pmalek and holydarkness have asked some questions and I will take the opportunity to post mine unedited even though they overlap those already asked because I had them in mind before coming to this thread. I hope you will reply as it will provide some clarity:

- Did blackjack.fun have a valid Curacao licence during all the period the logo was visible on the website?
- When was the Anjouan licence issued?
- Was there an interim period when the website was operating without a licence namely before the Anjouan licence was issued (and if so, how long was the website working without a valid licence and why?)

That's what I've been saying since my first post.

Just sue him and make him pay for his sick behaviour.

You summed it up perfectly, in this instance nobody is giving the OP of that thread any support because he has refused to accept a payment which was offered. The whole premise for his thread against blackjack.fun was based on a dispute over $30 which he refused to accept when he was offered it.

As for the questions regarding either their licence or provably fair claim, they came up because there was a discussion in that thread and those picked up after looking at their website. I hope they clarify the situation and do not take an extended leave from the forum.

Saw the thread in the scam section and he's not serious about getting his issue resolved he just wants to ruin Blackjack and insult members who contradict him, Pmalek is right in saying this guy has a mental issue, Blackjackfun used to have a long campaign here until they experimented on affiliate based signature campaign although it did not work they can still relaunched their campaign, there are a lot of poker players here and when it comes to poker, the community always have Blackjack.fun in their mind.

As you can see, the community already support you and they do not rely on what Jackpot racer posted. The only thing he could do was spread lies everywhere. No matter what he writes, just ignore him and go on. Do not take him seriously. Some of the forum members already responded to him. You should start doing the campaigns and other promotions that you were planning to do. There were always some trolls and some people who always wanted to take unfair benefits from casinos by blackmailing them. If you respond to them and keep talking about them, they will think that you are paying attention to him and he will force you to pay him. Just ignore and go on. Good luck!

It does seem that way. He was after all offered the $30 (yes all this about $30 as an excuse to attack blackjack.fun) and that happened after he exploited a bug in their system. He wanted that money donated here and there but refused to accept it himself. That incident should be kept separated from the questions some members have asked blackjack.fun about their operation and they have not replied yet.
