This is actually surprising as the other thread is still active and there are people also making comments on that Ann. Although, from my own perspective it could be either they have change representatives or possibly they have lost access to their profile or don’t have will power to take over their profile. But if what I am suspecting is true they can always reached out to the admin to restore back their profile. Of course they are violating the rules concerning handling of Ann thread, hence thus should be locked or the other previous Ann threads should be locked and let one active only.

It looks like they wanted a thread created by an account bearing their name, this is the only logic that make sense here. The other thread might have been created by a contractor or someone who was in the team before but not anymore, hence the need to create a new thread. I don't know if I'm right because my comment is just assumption especially as this thread is looking so similar to the other thread both in design and everything.

Alright, I asked their live support. They confirmed this is their official account in bitcointalk. The link they sent is pretty much this thread.



Goombas from their previous ANN has been inactive and said account is possibly unreachable. Seeing OP mention this is their only official ANN thread makes me think Goombas may have been just an ambassador or some sort. 🤔 In any case, i'll report the previous thread to be locked.

Great idea to confirm this with the support chat

So it is confirmed that this is the real Goated, no reason to worry anymore

Maybe it is a new community manager and they want to come back to bitcointalk to create a brand presence. I hope we see some promotions from their team in the near future which will be good for all sides!

In the previous thread I couldn't post anything. I see that this casino has been operating for almost 2 years, judging from the date of the previous year's thread. I searched the scam accusation section and saw that there are no open or pending scam accusations; the only thing there was was this complaint, which has already been resolved. I also researched the casino on Casino Guro and saw that in the two years they've been operating, they've only had 5 complaints, of which 3 were resolved and 2 were rejected, as you can see in this photo:

This is very positive, at least for now. Few casinos manage to operate for two years with few scam accusations and resolve those accusations. This shows that at least the problems reported by people at Casino Guro are being taken very seriously by the casino. I checked the comments on Trustpilot about your casino, and I confess I didn't see many serious cases; most are complaints from people who were unhappy with some things, but which have nothing to do with blocked withdrawals. So, congratulations

Revisited the site after seeing this new thread and it's good to see the sportsbook up and running unlike the last time around when it wasn't even functional though the odds have high vig/edge and the promotions themselves need improvement.

Good to see the steady improvements here, but y'all still have a long, long way to go in my opinion.

Mitchell already locked and moved the old thread to the archives upon confirmation from the team that this is their only official announcement thread. I think the OP of the previous thread may just be someone hired to do that but now that he has not been so active, it is only wise for the team to take charge of things themselves. I also love the mamy improvements that is visibly seen in the platform if you have used them before, it will be obvious to you.

Goated Loans are only available for high VIP ranks at the casino. So you already have to be an established player. Someone with at least $3,000,000 in wagers, meaning plenty of deposits and cash to throw around. According to their own estimates, such a rank earned you over $400 in bonuses plus over $1,000 in rank-up rewards. I am sure they have rules in place that protects them against someone taking out a loan and running away or at least minimizes such a risk. Maybe you need to keep a certain balance in your account for the duration of the loan as well and only a part of the collateral is covered from future rewards.

This actually means for you to get the loan you must have spent huge amount of money gambling on the casino.
There is no way a casino will just wake up and create a loan option for the customers just like that, when I saw the news I already knew to get the loan you most have spent a lot on the casino site.
 
Creating the loan option is actually very good however, since it’s just for VIPs, I believe it is also a way to attract or make people to use the casino more often so they can get to a point they can be eligible for the loan.
