To freebitco.in and their representative, TheQuin

[nosf]

I can also confirm that my pending transactions, one slow and one instant requested a few days ago, gone through today around 4 hours ago. I have 2FA enabled.
However we still need some explanation about what happened and surely better communucation with people.

[hosseinimr93]

According to the last posts made in FreeBitco.in thread, it seems that some users were able to withdraw their fund. As authorization emails are received with a big delay or not received, there is no way to make withdrawal for those who don't have 2FA enabled and want to withdraw their fund to an address which is not linked to their account.

Maybe people are getting paid only when some other person makes a deposit? Till then the withdrawal requests are queued because their wallet is empty? (That also would mean the casino died already) Just making a wild guess. Whatever the problem is, they should come over and make a statement immediately. It is damn sad to see a 10+ years old casino going down like that. This casino made history and made lots of people super rich. I’ve also watched the youtube video that explained what’s going on and I saw how people used bots to abuse this website. They are dealing with these scammers every day.

Today, after receiving a payment from fbc, I checked the transactions and noticed that the wallet from which it came had a balance of 9 BTC. It turns out they still have the funds to pay or someone replenished this wallet

I tried to make a withdrawal, but so far it is unsuccessful - because the confirmation e-mail did not arrive, and before that I had problems with the amount I tried to withdraw - it simply does not allow me to withdraw the max amount (minus fee). I hope that everything ends well in the end, because it would really be a shame if the owner does not come out of all this with clean hands after so many years.

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.

I barely read anything about freebitco these past few years, so I might be wrong, but if a past scam accusation case about FUNToken may be used as our reference, the shared responsibility, jurisdiction, and other things involved between both sites are indeed limited to shared ownership [perhaps, from the article you provided, in form of majority token ownership].

Other than that, they are separate entities in sense of staff and responsibility. This was confirmed by TheQuin in the past, long before situation with freebitco escalated,

There are other sites with shared ownership but I can't provide any support for them here because I don't work for them and also because this is a Bitcoin board and they are altcoin sites.

You can tell me that.. But your company owner, or related to

I can tell you that if a group of companies are owned by the same people that you are wasting your time complaining to the staff of one of those companies about an issue you have with another. They can't help you.

So, though I find it a bit ironic since the situation is now turned, where the statement above was TheQuin separating freebitco from the burden of responsibility from a situation with FunToken, and now it's the complete flipped situation, I am leaning to believe that the telegram post above holds its weight.

yesterday, i don't know why, i checked the the freebitcoin thread after years and i saw all this (i was still using the site daily).

i made a withdraw, it arrived after 10 hours. it wasn't the whole balance, half is still in the site because after being in the crypto world for years you start seeing a pattern so i didn't withdraw everything.

so... it was half the balance (just a few k in $), instant withdraw, the withdraw was made only using 2fa so no emails involved, i used another wallet and not the one linked in the site, and the wallet address i used was a native segwit address (bc1)

Hello, I made my withdrawal 2 days ago and finally I've recieved it. Here is the hash of the transaction: c0f89a351f1bd759bfd6d70e8592d858548f042127d403a1339702d6cb62bcbb

[KafkaRaven]

I STILL CANNOT WITHDRAW MY FUND via email confirmation!

I didn't have 2FA activated at the first place, I didn't set up the default "received BTC address" either so my withdrawal is dependent on the 1-hr-valid confirmation EMAIL

and the confirmation email is delayed!!! 48-72 HRS delay

if you want to activate the 2FA, you still need to click the confirmation-link in the email

so the non-2FA WITHDRAWAL IS NOT WORKING now

=====

the problem now is the DELAYED EMAIL confirmation in withdrawal/2FA-activation/change BTC address/change password

[examplens]

Obviously, there is already a lot of pressure on freebitco, I will be quite disappointed if one of the oldest Bitcoin services fails to handle this situation.

I also requested a withdrawal. My account has activated 2FA and has a profile address set.
It seems that in this case a confirmation email is not required and the transaction should be processed without it.
This is the message.



Of course, even though I chose the instant withdrawal option, where everything should be processed in ~15 min, nothing has happened yet.
however, it seems that I have to wait for manual withdrawal approval, which can take up to 24 hours. OK waiting.

This Freebitco.in PR finally reacts after receiving negative trust. But still he didn’t tackle about the security issue raised by different user about withdrawal to different address.

This negative feedback should be remained temporarily until all the issue was resolved. It’s surprising that thequin is still not making an statement despite that their PR is already aware on the situation.

Excellent news. Long-overdue on hiring more people though

[Plaguedeath]

Probably he's the one who working to solve the mail backlog issue?

Honestly I don't believe if they will turn become scam, they've built their reputation for 11 years and very known as the oldest faucet that still exist till now, although faucet is no longer popular nowadays, but they're still making a good amount of money from the partnership and ads.

I have been waiting for the payment to be approved for 3 days. How is it that all payments are sent? Please send my MONEY! still waiting for manually review for 3 DAYS!

[Poker Player]

All of you who are still having trouble with withdrawals just try the instant one without changing the address. I've done that and I've been able to withdraw.

I'm open to withdraw my support to the flag and change the feedback but I have to see that everything is fine for a while.

the transaxtion is not done and the coins is back again...

the problem with the withdrawal of my and other users’ funds to the changed addresses of hackers has not yet been resolved.
I made a video confirming it. at the end of the video you can see how the address changed to the address of the hackers

Did you get the same message as examplens?

In the past, even when everything was working fine, some withdrawals required to be processed manually and it didn't matter whether they were instant or slow.
My guess is that your withdrawal has been flagged by their system to be checked manaully and they haven't checked your withdrawal yet. If everything was working well, your withdrawal would take up to 24 hours to manually processed.

Please update us on the status of your withdrawal if anything changed.

the transaxtion is not done and the coins is back again...

Were you required to confirm your withdrawal via email? If that's the case, there are many other people having the same issue as you.

[plustre]

The unlock day for my locked coins has arrived, and I am receiving emails about it. However, when I log into my freebitco.in account, it appears that the coins have not been credited to my account. Additionally, my withdrawal request has still not been approved. In 12 hours, I will be entering the 4th day.
