We generally do not comment publicly on individual account investigations. However, following the accusations made against EarnBet, we will address the matter directly.
The account was restricted after our sportsbook provider, a leading specialist in the iGaming industry, flagged fraudulent betting patterns on live tennis markets. This alert originated from the specialist provider responsible for operating and securing the sportsbook markets.
Following this alert, we conducted an internal investigation which identified 3 additional accounts connected to the one making this accusation, bringing the total to 4 accounts .
All 4 accounts were linked through on-chain transaction evidence. All 4 accounts were active on the sportsbook and showed the following:
- They bet on the same live tennis markets
- They followed matching betting patterns
- They were flagged for suspicious betting behaviour
- On-chain evidence connecting the accounts
The funding address is not associated with any major exchange. It is an unlabelled wallet with limited activity, a modest balance, and a relatively small transaction history, behaviour consistent with a privately controlled wallet.
The fund flow patterns were also highly similar. Separate wallets received funding from same address and deposited almost the entire amount to EarnBet.
The user originally stated in his Bitcointalk post that he had experienced similar issues with multiple other bookmakers, writing:
"I saw many times bookies removed my winnings..."
This statement was later edited out. The original wording remains publicly visible in the post’s edit history:
https://bitlist.co/post/66952588/versionshttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5103576.msg66954438#msg66954438This edited statement has no impact on restriction. However, its important context as the original post showed that the user has had similar issues with multiple other bookmakers, suggesting the problem lies with the user’s betting activity rather than with EarnBet.
Our terms prohibit multi-accounting and any form of fraudulent or improper activity. The restriction was based on multiple converging indicators, including on-chain linkages between accounts and fraudulent betting patterns identified by our sportsbook provider. This was also communicated to the user by our support team when his withdrawal request was rejected under Section 6 of our Terms & Conditions.
At EarnBet, we are committed to fair play, transparency, and protecting legitimate users. We take all feedback seriously and investigate thoroughly. However, we also have a responsibility to act when clear evidence points to coordinated or prohibited activity. We stand by our decision.
Your response contains serious allegations, but it does not provide any verifiable evidence to support them.
First, my previous disputes with other bookmakers were not related to match-fixing, fraud, or manipulated tennis matches. Those accounts were restricted because I was considered a winning player or because of alleged arbitrage activity. In every previous case, the bookmaker returned at least my original deposit because they had no evidence that the funds themselves were connected to fraud.
EarnBet has acted very differently. You have not only confiscated the disputed winnings, but also my original deposited funds. This is the central issue you continue to avoid.
Regarding the tennis bets, I completely reject the allegation that any match or betting activity involved fraud or manipulation. You are free to publish the full betting history, including the matches, markets, odds, bet times and settlement details. I have nothing to hide. General phrases such as “suspicious betting patterns” are not evidence of cheating.
I also reject the allegation that I operated four active accounts. While I was betting with the account in question, I did not have another active account with a usable balance. A blockchain connection alone does not prove that multiple accounts were controlled by the same person. Funds can pass through exchanges, payment services, shared wallets, intermediaries or third parties. If you claim that all four accounts belonged to me, publish the specific evidence showing common ownership and control—not merely that some transactions were connected on-chain.
You also refer to my edited Bitcointalk post as though editing one sentence somehow proves fraud. I edited it only to prevent the discussion from being misunderstood or diverted toward unrelated disputes with other bookmakers. The original sentence did not admit cheating, multi-accounting or match manipulation. Using a routine edit as a major part of your defence only demonstrates how weak the underlying evidence is.
For transparency, please answer these questions directly:
Which exact bets were allegedly fraudulent?
What specific betting pattern proves fraud rather than simply successful betting?
What evidence proves that I personally owned and controlled all four accounts?
Were the accounts used at the same time, from the same device, IP address or identity documents?
Why was my original deposit confiscated instead of being returned?
Which exact wording in Section 6 authorizes EarnBet to confiscate legitimate deposited funds without publishing evidence of fraud?
Other bookmakers that no longer wished to accept my bets at least returned my deposit and clearly stated that they did not want my future business. EarnBet instead relies on vague accusations, refuses to disclose the evidence and confiscates both winnings and deposited funds.
I am not asking anyone to accept my word blindly. I am asking EarnBet to provide concrete, independently verifiable evidence. Until that evidence is published, the public should distinguish between a proven fraud case and a bookmaker making broad allegations after a customer wins.
Return my winnings or original deposit and publish the complete evidence supporting your accusations.
