To freebitco.in and their representative, TheQuin

[plustre]

I use 2FA, so I don't need an email confirmation, yet they are still not approving the payments. 30 hours passed.. I think they are intentionally creating the email issue. I have been waiting for 32 hours for my withdrawal request to be approved. They stole all of our money.  Even Dplay says that they have no connection with Freebitco.in. 

[Poker Player]

So, I've just received now the email for confirmation. I've confirmed and I get this.

[hosseinimr93]

More than 24 hours since I created this topic and nothing has changed. It's still impossible to make withdrawal from freebitco.in.
I am still receiving promotial emails from freebitco.in as before, but I don't receive authorization emails. Their twitter account is also active and they posted their last tweet around 2 hours ago, but they don't say anything about users issues.

[mindrust]

There is definitely something extraordinary happening and it looks like it has been going on for a while. TheQuin is coming online but not saying a word.

The worst part is, even if the casino was fine or half fine, now the players are queuing to withdraw their funds, it will trigger a bank run and I somewhat think the owners won’t be paying anyone from their own pockets. It get that impression because neither or them are saying a damn word.

TheQuin, blink twice if there is a gun pointed at your head please.

AFAIK, and if I remember correctly, the same group also runs "real" online casinos such as ClubRiches. Not very long ago, a ClubRiches manager reached out to me - I have just contacted him to see if he can be of any help - that is in case I am not mistaken.

Edit: Interestingly, I requested a withdrawal in the near past (2FA has always been enabled for me) and both were processed perfectly fine - very small amount though.

Feel like its time for someone whose been affected to open a flag on them. Just let us know when its been done and I'll suport it. Will probably red tag wetsuit and TheQuin as well.

As I did not receive the confirmation email, the funds went back to the site's account, but I have them blocked there, so I cannot withdraw them.

After all that has been said, in my opinion it is clear that there is high risk, and I even think that the official thread deserves a newbie warning flag, otherwise we are giving publicity from the forum, to a site that has blocked the funds, with a multitude of technical issues and complaints, and without support.

timeline

===

May22
the last successful 2FA-withdrawal I saw was on May22

May23
TheQuinn last active on this forum on May23
I guess he logged in to check out whats-going on...
it's like he's a pyromaniac looking at the fire he started

May24
Friday 9am I started to panic because I can't withdraw my BTC due to the delayed email issue

it doesn't seem to be illness or accident because if it were, one of them (TheQuinn/wetsuit) would be telling us right now what's going on

unless, BOTH of THEM were murdered last week?
happened to be in the same serious accident?

something bad happened to both of them? I don't think so

they decided to steal the users fund?

===

I saw a death-threat post to kill TheQuinn/wetsuit on their official twitter... it was from a user from South America I guess

look at the last 3 post on their twitter account, you'll see his post

everyone doesn't take him seriously... but even if they are 100%anonymous... I'm certain it's easy to geographically locate TheQuinn/wetsuit or even the nominee 3741-9370 fake lucky winner

they left some clues over the past 11 yrs on this forum

===

can anyone find the way to see if their BTC-fund has any movement over the weekend?

As you making a allegation about being directly affected by freebitco.in you should create a thread in Scam Accusations to explain the circumstances. As matters currently stand it seems by looking through this thread that there will be a strong consensus to support flags and negative tags, At the moment there is one thread in the scam accusations board about them but if problems are widespread there needs to be more threads.

Red flags were raised months ago for me, I asked Quinn what the contingency plan was should the only two site operators fall ill, die, or something along those lines. His response was incredibly arrogant, but the short of it was they have NO contingency plan (as has become very apparent).

I withdrew 90% of my funds at that point.

I'm waiting over 24 hours now to withdraw the last of my funds (which is still $x,xxx) but it is not looking good at all.

I am hoping they will eventually make good on users funds and that there is some personal issues their end, but there is a chance our funds are gone for good at this point. Feel sorry for anybody who has got a large amount in here.

Also, if I'm not mistaken they also run another casino dPlay, though, haven't tried neither of them. But I kinda doubt that's possible to run multiple casinos smoothly when there is just two people behind the curtains.

Maybe that's only way how to get reaction from them. If they don't react to all questions, maybe they will pay ettention to something what damages their reputation.
Don't want to judge them too wuickly, but it's obvious that something doesn't works as it used to be. Previously they were known for great communication, transparency and looked like example how casino should work.

I posted this in the other thread, but people should try getting in touch with Samuel Das, he is the CEO of fun token who are tied closely to freebitco.in. He might have some info:

https://x.com/FUNtoken_io/status/1691020105553977344

I am beginning to wonder that they had a hot wallet compromised. On their site, they say only 5% of funds are in the hot wallet, but I don't think this is true. It's possible they've been hit and lost a very large amount of user funds. If that is the case, they are going to be thinking long and hard about what to do next, because its quite possible they may only have a small percentage of user funds left, and are unable to honour all the withdrawals.

Whatever has happened it does not look good at all right now, instant or slow withdrawals aren't going through, irrespective of whether email confirmation is required, or 2fa is used. Something is seriously fucked, because for the most part this system would have been automated. I get the impression they have STOPPED all withdrawals because of some serious issue, and the most logical explanation is stolen funds.

You are right about Dplay.
Dplay and Club Riches both are owned by them and according to the post made by TheQuin around two years ago, wetsuit may be involved in more businesses too.

He's currently spending a lot of time on diversification with the new businesses. You've seen Dplay and Club Riches but there's also a lot more coming.

Edit:
Here is another post which confirms Dplay is also owned by them

Although we promote our other sites and the fact that you can link them to your freebotco.in account they have their own support staff. So any issues you have with Dplay need to be reported by email to support@dplay.casino

I had some FUN, up to 2500 left on Freebitco.in to get my daily bonuses. I tried to withdraw my FUN tokens right now and I didn't receive a withdrawal confirmation email. I confirm from my side that there is something wrong with Freebitco.

Edit: Interestingly, I requested a withdrawal in the near past (2FA has always been enabled for me) and both were processed perfectly fine - very small amount though.

The same here but I tested it today and now FUN withdrawal doesn't work, can't talk about BTC.

Dplay looks professional, they even have online chat support but strangely none of them are represented on Bitcointalk, they don't even have ANN thread here as far as I know. Btw it's also very strange that Freebitco doesn't respond but their signature campaign still continues.

They never advertise about Dplay here on this forum with also never have anything related to this site is understandable, but we have interesting thing few weeks back we have Freebitco signature campaign on hold and then paused, but suddenly we have @TheQuin who released the funds and signature campaign started again with he also gives few updates and solved few issues which was creating problems but now again as we need him he is not responding here with last appearance on 23rd May which is clearly showing he knows all things about this but not responding which is wired and creating mess-up about this site.

Manager Hhampuz has just put the signature campaign on hold:

There's been an increasing number of concerns and reports about withdraws not going through on freebitcoin at the moment. I have requested TheQuin to give me an update or to post one publicly and until that happens I'm afraid I have to put this campaign on HOLD and would like to ask you all to remove your signatures and avatars for the time being. I am aware that a week has already begun and I will take care of you all regardless of the outcome.

[mindrust]

Introducing fun token was probably one of the worst moves they ever did. The other was shutting down freedogecoin. They said they did it because they didn’t have time to manage two casinos but they do manage dplay. (And there was one more I guess) fun token is crap and its tx fees are high so I doubt many people invested in it. It also has zero usecase outside freebitco.in. Those 2 were the major business mistakes.

Manager Hhampuz has just put the signature campaign on hold:

That is all he can do actually. A couple of members including myself mentioned Hhampuz in this thread, but he did not responded and as I said in my previous post, probably he is trying to get an answer from freebitco.in the team. We cannot really expect more than this from him. Thanks for quoting him here.

It is strange why they are silent about this issue and not saying a word like, guys please be patient, we will fix it or something like that. This kind of behavior is smelling scammy. We don't want to see a reputed company become a scam again!

[nutildah]

So this is kind of interesting. Some self-appointed representative of FUNToken is distancing themselves from freebitco.in



Meanwhile...

https://coingape.com/freebitco-in-takes-charge-of-fun-token-expansion-through-majority-acquisition/

Through a series of ventures, FreeBitco.in seeks to promote the mass adoption and utilization of FUN Token in the iGaming and Gaming spaces.

FreeBitco.in, one of the biggest Bitcoin iGaming websites in the world, has acquired the majority of FunFair’s remaining cold storage of FUN tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the FunFair gaming ecosystem. The cold storage holds 4.45 billion FUN Tokens and FreeBitco.in has acquired 3.75 billion tokens.

Through this acquisition, FreeBitco.in plans to invest in the token’s long-term development.

Also kind of interesting is this:



Maybe they were indeed hacked back then and the hacker planted some kind of backdoor in their server.

FUNToken down almost 3% today.

Also, I red tagged the 3 freebitco.in reps. They have a yellow flag active on their main thread.

3. It would be quite petty if they indeed scammed everyone while their site still earns a lot of profit for them, but like I said, maybe the reserves are gone?

i think no, i was saw on account of my mother again and again, and pending withdraw take  4 or five days, and now, i was see again, the transaction is went back to my balance, and i did the same thing that i did, same address, one to out and other amount to the new address on your account, and i see that, on the first time that i did the withdraw, was no showing the in time countdown left for send, and now, are three hours to let and go, i wait by now withdraw work, and is end of the nigthmare for all of us, and my account had no more than 100k sats, and for awhile, i dont need, and i will let on site, and if withdraw work, the account of my uncle had an good amount... and he dont need know about this, but the response is mine, and im are thinking in charge out half amount of, and sell to usdt on exchange, and lock for year interest, on polo
