Confiscated Funds and Account Closure on LuckyBlock

[SamReomo]

I also recommend that OP open a scam accusation against this casino in the scam section so in case Michael Bisping reads this accusation he will stop promoting this platform, no popular personality wants to get involved in a scam platform.

If Michael Bisping is promoting a scam casino then he should get awareness regarding it. I've never heard about LuckyBlock and its scam but if OP is sure about their scam then it's way better to create a new thread at scam accusation board or move this thread to scam accusation board.

This is a bad situation, being denied of your payment is something that is always peculiar with scam casinos who only allow gamblers to deposit large amounts but restrict withdrawals in  lije sum, although contacting the support is the best place to start from, at least what the reason is for your withdrawal to be denied, if it is because of the amount,  then you can try withdrawing lower amount in multiple fold, may be that could work regardless.

Secondly and lastly,  we may have more problems if the casino doesn't have an ANN thread here because they won't know what is going in here, and from the look of things that casino is unfamiliar with us and that can be a big turn off to how far you can get helped by forum members who may likely have e experience same hard it been the casinos is present here in the forum.

The thing is, I don't know why someone would just trust any random casino with a lot of funds in it without even doing proper research about the casino, and at the end, after the casino has shown their ill act, that's when you will come up with the issue, whereas if you had done any research about the casino, you may have seen some accusations or bad reviews about the casino that can make you have a different choice of casino. $27k is not a small amount to lose just like that. Well, you have heard the advice of others. I hope you are able to recover your funds if this is really true. 

Because they have a personal agenda related to taking advantage of the casino. Most of the unknown casino has a bonus structure and lousy ToS designed to lure players through potential easy profit but in reality this is just trap.

OP knew what the risk he is taking and probably he used to doing this kind of method on taking advantage new casino since an old timer gambler will never deposit huge amount on completely unknown casino while there’s a lot of big casino offers same game.

It’s more on bonus chase and game abuse that’s why they keep risking huge amount on this unknown casino.

If the OP had done a little digging, he would have realized that there was also an accusation against the casino that was just made this year on the issue of withdrawal. Well, like you said, old-time gamblers cannot just deposit at an unfamiliar casino when there are other big, reputable casinos, but seriously, no one is above making a mistake, and any small mistake can land the gambler in a serious problem like this one.

Due to cases like this in the crypto world, I have developed the habit of doing so much digging about any platform before I use it. If I see too much complaining and a few bad reviews from customers, I will just avoid the platform, be it a casino or not.

OP's complaint is already active on AG and CG. Given their representative is very unlikely to come back to the forum, even if I try to reach them through any means of communication, I don't think I can help much with this case other than adding it to the list. Hopefully it can help other forum member who will play there in the future.

[passwordnow]

They've got mostly active in their Telegram as that's what they're advertising on their website. Their X's account has got some posts for this year and I've seen that they're more active with their X account that has a name of @LuckyBlockCoin than @luckyblockcom which likely have been abandoned for years already. They even got that first one a blue check mark so despite with all of those complaints and scam accusations. I'm still hoping that you get your money from them OP.

Just wondering on where those people locate this casino? If they know that there's no activities happening and the casino they are playing is not creating big hype for legitimate people then its better to have doubts to gamble with them.

People always learn there lesson in hard way and we can always see that there are people come here then tell their problem on unfamiliar casino. People should normalize to think twice before going into something then do their research before they commit since if they always have that thoughts then provably that they can avoid any possible scamming which happen to a lot of newbies who's lazy to seek information about the casino they are following on.

I don't know as well, maybe some ads pop on their browser and they clicked it or some stranger that have suggested it to them. We get this a lot when someone posts their problem with a casino and upon looking so, it's not even in our radar and we have no idea that they've been existing for this long. The problem from these users is they don't make research first before deciding to gamble and deposit on the casinos like this. That's why if you're not familiar of a casino, it's best to just leave them and move to the known and common ones. More of a household name in the crypto gambling industry and has got track record of their existence. And probably that they're just lazy to research before gambling and it's an actual gamble to them when they try them out.

The casino is yet to communicate in the Casino.guru thread, but they replied on AskGamblers that they are investigating the reason for the account closure.
What we know so far is that the player is accused of multi-accounting. We also know that the player played with a bonus. I checked the casino's T&Cs to see if Turkey is on the restricted countries list and it isn't.

Did you ever play with a VPN, when you were outside of your country, or accessed your account from someone else's computer/phone?

[GxSTxV]

Honestly, I wouldn't trust anything from a casino that started with a presale ICO. A year ago, when I was a community manager and moderator for their agency, I started having suspicions about their team and marketing approach. I noticed several projects of this same team turned out to be scams. While moderating, one project, whose team identities were hidden, disappeared after collecting $1 million from a presale and I quit their team. There's almost no evidence against this team that I can share here, but I strongly believe they are a large group with a strong marketing team possibly the same one behind LuckyBlock, but also unfortunately, knowing what inside their team and behind it without taking any screen shots or what happened exactly since I never expected what’s going to happen next. Personally, It seems they target accounts with significant balances.

I'm not making accusations without evidence, this is based only on what I have observed being inside their team. I can't start an accusation without clear proof. What I do know is that LuckyBlock, a scam exit ICO project, and a well known crypto news website are all associated with the same group.

However, if the team is communicating with you, there might still be a chance to recover your money. Make sure you haven't violated any of their rules and keep us updated here with any developments on guru.casino.

Let me address any potential questions or concerns that might arise from the title:

1. LuckyBlock accepts members from my country (Turkey).
2. I did not use a VPN.
3. I discovered LuckyBlock through a bonus promotion.
4. Before signing up, I researched the casino's rules and they seemed positive, but upon further investigation, I learned that most of the review articles about LuckyBlock are actually sponsored.


I tried to reach Michael Bisping and his manager, but I did not receive any response. I created an account on Twitter to address this issue: https://x.com/zwydaluckyblock

I have filed complaints on Askgamblers, Casino.guru, and LCB.

I also opened an account on LinkedIn and wrote posts tagging LuckyBlock employees and companies: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zwyda-luckyblock-2144b1315

I am trying everything I can. However, the casino has stopped responding to my emails, which is causing my hope to diminish day by day.

Even if I cannot recover my money, I want to contribute to preventing others from being harmed by this casino in the future. Thank you all.

I just hope everything goes well and you’re able to receive your money from the site - I just checked  your complaint on both sites and I saw that they responded to the one at askgambler - although they haven’t fully provided any detailed information about what happened yet, but at least we know they are conducting an investigation about it, while on casinoguru nothing yet. Hopefully, one of them would be able to help you mediate the issue and settle for a solution that favors you. Good luck btw.

Here is an update on this case from CasinoGuru and AskGambers.
The casino claims that they have refunded the player their deposits while confiscating the winnings. According to them, the player abused the casino's bonuses, created 15 different accounts, and provided fake KYC. The casino also states the player admitted it.

Now comes the funny part. The player was asked to provide an address to return the deposited amount. They gave the following address: TT5kZt­Hbn­coZ­kPi­YPp­kMV­kh5­Lt1­zMZXuuW. This address doesn't exist according to TronScan. The casino then provides transaction hash 9efbd6­5ae­da1­a27­456­67d­367­8ef­f43­84f­4c6­945­991­626­3af­c38­bd5­0f9­03188ad as proof of payment. This TX ID is also invalid on the Tron blockchain. What kind of clown show are we witnessing?

If the player is a proven cheater, they shouldn't receive anything in my opinion. That's the way you fight cheaters.

When copying the address on AskGamblers, some tags get copied along with the characters, making the address appear incorrect and causing it not to display on Tronscan.

On the other hand, we play this game to win money, not lose it. It's unfortunate but quite comical. However, right now, I am fighting to recover the money I won. I have never accepted any allegations of multiple accounts in any setting or platform. It is incredibly challenging to prove that something you didn't do is, in fact, not true. Logically, the burden of proof lies with the accuser, yet here I am, struggling alone against large firms and influential people.

I celebrate every penny I manage to recover from LuckyBlock. There is still over $17,000 on the site that I rightfully deserve. Yes, I have received a portion, but the situation has escalated beyond money and has become a matter of honor.

Because now the accusations have become so severe that they claim there are 15 accounts linked to me. They claim there was a KYC error. If there were really such evidence, would the casino pay me even a single cent? They approach this with feelings, not law.

I state that I have only one account, I have never had multiple accounts, let alone 15 accounts. But how can I prove this? I wish there was a way to prove it; I would do anything to prove it. But I would like to ask these questions: How can an account verified and approved by the KYC verification system Veriff and the LuckyBlock security team be verified if there are indeed 15 accounts? How could I make a successful withdrawal before?

The funny part, in my opinion, lies in these questions and their answers.

Because it's not really random, there's some websites out there that would be strange for some of us but it's a norm in some people, and when it comes to this casino, it just so happens that there's more people around OP and in his immediate region that are using that casino, if it's a thing that's being visited by a lot of people in your region, it's most likely going to get recommended to you. I also would recommend if OP can also pursue litigation against this casino, that way, you can be sure that they're going to try to resolve your issue with them without any worries that you would be left hanging in the air for too long.

The money they paid you was actually the sum you deposited, so they didn't pay anything from their own pockets. In other words, they have confiscated your winnings and returned the deposit. Since you accepted the payment, I am pretty sure that both AskGambers and CasinoGuru will consider the case solved. If the casino has proof connecting you to 15 alternative accounts, they will share that with the mediators.

I have not accepted anything. If they can prove the claim of 15 multiple accounts, I will distribute the $9500 to the people in this forum. Except for you, of course

According to their statement, you made this agreement through private chat with them, that you accepted to take your initial deposit, did you not made such agreement?



Also, if you can provide the correct address, it'll probably help us clarify some things. I tried to modify the one you provided and deleted some characters to match tron's 34 characters, but I still can't get the correct address. It'll be faster if you're the one providing it for us.

[Pmalek]

I have not accepted anything.

They asked you for an address where they can send the $9500 that you deposited to the casino. You gave it to them and they sent back your money according to the information that is public. So, yes, you have accepted the money they offered by providing that address.

If they can prove the claim of 15 multiple accounts, I will distribute the $9500 to the people in this forum. Except for you, of course

How very unfortunate for me.

Hello,

You can check from Tronscan at this address: https://tronscan.org/#/address/TT5kZtHbncoZkPiYPpkMVkh5Lt1zMZXuuW/transfers.

I have never accepted such an agreement. They do not have any valid evidence against me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

To clarify, what they state on AG, that you agreed to settle with your initial deposit, is a wrong statement? Instead, you never have a private conversation with them, and that when you provided your address [thank you for the link, btw] you gave it under an assumption that they'll pay you whole, oblivious that they're previously said you're accepting the deposit as settlement?

[Pmalek]

I have never accepted such an agreement. They do not have any valid evidence against me.

Whether or not they have evidence against you is not for me to say because I can't know that. I also can't know what you discussed with them in private and what you did or did not agree to.

What is public is the following: On 24 July, the LuckyBlock representative posts on AskGambers and says that they will refund your initial deposit, and that's it. They also ask you for a deposit address. You provided them with an address without commenting on the fact that only your deposit will be returned. After the coins were sent, you confirmed you received them and only then mentioned that you are still owed your winnings. I think you knew you would only get your initial deposit just like they said they would send.

Actually... I think there is a simple fix for this situation. If OP's answer to my question above your post is in a direction of affirmative, then I'll suggest OP to make a post on AG, challenging the casino to disclose the said private discussion and give his blessing that, from his side, there is no problem on sharing such private matters to the arbitrator.
