I really doubt they plan to run the site through a fair means. Firstly, they never refunded bets properly. What they claimed to have refunded were wrong bets. But not bets that led to those wrong bets.
For example, here is a screenshot of one of the bad streaks.

What they refunded were bets in the middle, for example one or two of the 0.01 or one of the 0.04 btc bet. But the only way for me to win was winning 2 bets in a row. And I was clearly sort of increasing my bets in the martingale style. Even the last bet I won of 0.467 btc was after a nonce skip. And this losing streak was preceded by one or 2 wins and 20-25 losses. So just refunding a 0.04 bet in between doesn't mean you have made it all right. I deserve to get a refund for bets that went in the middle(the martingale bets) , else my style of betting wouldn't have matter, and would have been just like flat betting which is more -EV.
I have sent various messages to DB about this, with no reply. Also, when dooglus pointed out that they should refund the original bets as well right here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=716312.msg8895986#msg8895986then DB posted an updated list.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=716312.msg8900650#msg8900650and the only 2 people who were updated on the list with the original bets were Me and Stars, probably because it was only us 2 who had sent them a message about what dooglus posted and none of the other players, and they probably thought of not making it right for them.
Also, initially when I pointed out the bug, they had refunded a 0.2 BTC extra, saying it was a bug bounty. But now after they updated the list, they refunded some more amount and subtracted the bug bounty from it, saying it was never meant to be, and bug bounties are only given, if you had not been public with it. I was like, Really?
I also contacted DB if they wanted to steal investors funds, then feel free to use my name instead of mateo. And they replied, their intent was to not scam anyone, which was the best laugh I had.
After coming back, they expected people to flock back to the site which isn't happening, so now they are probably rethinking their approach and launching project mateo again. They have also not commented to any of the issues posted by players on the thread specially when there is no chat at DB anymore.
They also said they would be willing to allow dooglus to cosign the cold wallet, but even then, after the previous scam, no one should trust them with their investments, specially because they can still steal funds by using seeds only they know, and after the previous incident this is very likely.
