  1. I created a new account at Winners Casino after not playing for a few years, unaware that I already had an account with them. Everything seemed fine at first—I deposited €20 to test if things were working. I completed all the verification steps, asked customer support if everything was in order, and they confirmed that I was good to go. With that reassurance, I felt comfortable depositing an additional €200. Shortly after, I hit a big bonus on a significant bet, but right at that moment, I was denied access to the game. I immediately contacted customer support, who advised me to clear my browser and try again, but nothing worked. Growing suspicious, I asked them for details about the last bet that triggered the bonus. That's when they banned my account. They claimed it was because I had two accounts, which was against their policy. However, they knew about the duplicate account when I completed the verification process. If that was an issue, why didn't they tell me then? Instead, they accepted my deposits, but when I won big, they banned me. Am I the only one who thinks this is absurd and a complete scam? They refuse to pay my winnings due to an "invalid" account, but they gladly accepted all my deposits on that same invalid account. How does that make any sense? I’ve already reached out to the regulator in Estonia and will push this as far as I can. Can you believe they’re willing to risk their reputation over a few hundred euros? It’s outrageous.
  2. I have already waited as long as possible, all the deadlines requested and estimated by RABONA. I'm tired of waiting. My only choice was to resort to an external complaint here.My account is 100% verified (photo document front and back + photo of my face + utility bill address + photo selfie holding my document in hands with page Rabona being displayed in back + full history transactions of my bank account in last 2 months). All sent, all accepted and verified.I have requested withdrawal. I sent 3 mail messages during this last 7 days, they never replied 1 of this, never, nothing. The chat support service too does not solve anything, only say custom replies, copied and pasted as robots, saying for to wait, wait, wait, with this the days are passingI'm starting to have doubts if this is an honest site or a scam, if they really have the money to pay anyone who makes even a small profit like me, if it's a site that just wants to receive money and deposits, a site that doesn't pay anyone This is, WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, the worst website that can exist. They just try to buy time, make customers cancel withdrawals, play until they lose, so they never have to make a withdrawal payment.This is total nonsense! I deposited there on April 19th, my first withdrawal was on the 20th. Today is the 30th and nothing happened, I wasn't paid, I didn't receive a response to any of the several email messages I sent in those days. And the initial deadline was 3 days to receive! There are already 10!They ask for information to verify the account far beyond what is necessary, it takes them 3 days to order a new thing (or the same thing they already ordered), they don't work Saturday and Sunday, in other words, a typical attitude for time to pass and the customer to give up , lose the money, not withdraw anythingFirst they asked for a photo and the front of the document, and a photo of their face taken live with their cell phone. I sent it, it was acceptedThen they asked for proof of address. I sent. It was acceptedThen they asked for a selfie with the document in hand and the Rabona website open in the background of the photo. I sent. It was acceptedThen they asked for the transaction history of my bank account (which I used to deposit into my Rabona account), they asked for the last 30 days (from March 19th to April 19th, which was the day of my deposit). I sent EVERYTHING from my bank account, from March and April, everything, every pdf generated by my bank's app for these 2 months, including showing ALL TRANSACTIONS without omitting anything, my balance, my statement, I went to an ATM and also withdrew the printed paper of my statement to send them a photo of everything from March and April. I sent. It was acceptedThey then asked for information about what was a deposit into my bank account immediately prior to the deposit at Rabona, of the same amount. I explained that it was a cash deposit that I made personally and directly into my bank account (I took a photo of the paper of this receipt, as well as several other proofs of deposits that I personally made into my bank account). I sent it, it was acceptedIn other words, they ask for things from times when the customer wasn't even a customer of the site. They keep looking for something to have a reason not to pay the user or to waste time, save time, make the customer give up and cancel withdrawals, play and lose. This is absurd! Forcing the player to show transactions from months ago when the person didn't even play on the website, and showing transactions that he made until after the deposit he made on the website, this doesn't make any sense, it just shows that they want to make time passIf the problem is with a payment provider and you are unable to make payment by international bank transfer, be honest and tell me, and I can send you the address of my Bitcoin wallet, if it is easier for you (I saw in other complaints here that you this way they solved other players' problems)In the chat they don't respond at all, sometimes they close the chat without typing a single word. Emails do not respond. When they respond in the chat, they are ready, standardized responses, like robots, apologizing for the delay and saying "everything is ok with your account and your payment, tomorrow you will receive it, wait", the next day the same thing, "wait," " wait", "wait", "tomorrow", "tomorrow", "tomorrow". And nothing happens!3 days ago one of the people in the chat apologized, saying that they were wrong, for the delay, that they were experiencing difficulties, confessing the error, asking me to wait because I would definitely receive it on Monday (which was yesterday) My payment was already in the final phase. That they recognized their mistake, that I was right, that they understood my frustration and sadness, that nothing they said would make their mistake not happen, they asked me for confidence. I accept, I hope. It arrives on Monday and I don't receive it. It was just lies, to buy time, to make time passThey need to understand that players also have their responsibilities and obligations to fulfill. If they create an online gaming company, they must know that players will lose but also some will win and need to be paidWorse than the feeling of depositing, playing and losing, is depositing, playing and not receiving what you won. This is a total lack of respect for the customer and fair play! It's dishonesty, it's theft!I am willing to give my Rabona account password and bank account password temporarily to any AskGamblers administrator, and provide any of the files and photos I have uploaded to Rabona, in order to show that everything is correct and only the Rabona is not fulfilling its role as an honest gambling company!I want them to pay me the 3 pending withdrawals and my entire current account balance. Everything, without exception. In my bank account or, if they prefer, in my Bitcoin wallet. I'm tired of waiting, I can't wait any longer. I want my money!
  3. Hello, Is here in this Forum somebody that ever has played on the Casino site Liberty Slots. I was wondering if i should Deposit my money there and if they are Legit. Thanks for the help
  4. Ich habe eine offizielle beschwerde bei der curacao online gaming lizenzbehörde eingereicht weil viggoslots mir unrechtmäßig guthaben gelöscht hat aus meinem account, nun hat diese mir mittgeteilt dass sie in diesem fall nicht aktiv werden können da viggoslots anscheinend gar nicht mehr bei dieser behörde lizenziert ist und nur noch das logo von curacao egaming verwenden von einer bereits seit mehreren jahren abgelaufenen lizenz! Und außerdem wurden meine daten verkauft oder an dritte weitergegeben da ich seit ich mich bei diesem casino angemeldet habe, das einzige bei dem ich gespielt habe aus curacao, bekomme ich ständig spam anrife,textnachrichten und phishingmails.
  5. Hi, I'm a player from Spain. I have recently played at this casino. After passing the KYC and registering in mifinity. Only means of withdrawal that they offered me. If they came to pay me some of my winnings. But currently I have been waiting a long time for others that are pending to pay me. I have tried to contact the manager without success, I have also tried to speak to the licensee AntillePhone N.V. unsuccessfully. Total pending amount 1391,11€. I am desperate, I don't know who to turn to, I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. I would also like to denounce the attitude of this casino towards its players so that no one else sees themselves in my situation. I have been playing in online casinos for many years and this is the first time something like this has happened to me. Thanks in advance.
  6. This is the original Email from wazamba i recieved after a week waiting for an answer: Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting us. We would kindly draw your attention to the following clause in our Terms and Conditions under which we reserve the right to refuse bonuses: 7.3 We reserve the right to refuse a Bonus to any customer, to refuse any bonus of any kind, to cancel participation in any promotion, to permanently or temporarily withdraw any customer or group of customers from the Promotional Program of the Website at our sole and absolute discretion rule out. In the event of any dispute regarding our promotions (including but not limited to eligibility, use, abuse, fair play, calculation of winnings and wagering requirements), the Company's decision will be final and non-negotiable. We hope this email makes it clear for you. Kind regards, Wazamba.com I only translated it to englisch. I strongly advise anyone interested not to play at this casino or at any other casino from the provider rabidi or araxio. You think you can win here, but you're just being fooled and cheated. Never play there. I received the email because I pointed out to wazamba that too little cashback was credited to me... But regardless of whether it's about a payout or a bonus, you are neither valued as a customer nor taken seriously there and just cheated
  7. I'm level 5 VIP and according to wazamba I get 15% cashback. I deposited over €1500 in the last few deposits and just received €100 cashback. Support, vip support and live chat don't answer or help you. Instead, they threaten to be thrown out of the program because you ask them about it. Why is this casino allowed to remain on the market? Is it because you switched providers to rabidi because araxio had already received a reminder? Such casinos with their scams are destroying the entire market. I wonder how much they bribe so they don't get their license revoked
  8. Hello everyone,I wanted to post this to show you guys that stake.com, sports radar (their sports odds provider) and darko from sports are nothing but scamming, incompetent scumbags.I had a multi for about $1700.00. All my selections were live plays except for the last selection on the slip which was a tennis match. Tennis match was scheduled to start about 2 hours after my multi was placed.Photo of my betslip belowhttps://ibb.co/zG8Dm8mAs you can see, the odds I received on the final selection were -345.Now let’s move on to the fun part. Both tennis players came onto the court for warmups, odds went live on both stake and other platforms. Here’s a photo of the odds BEFORE the match was set to begin.https://ibb.co/KGHskFmhttps://ibb.co/2kPwsQxAll of a sudden, my player is +425 as opposed to -345 lolAnyways, as this is a clear line error and would affect my cashout price, I immediately contact support. I run into the luxury of speaking with darko from the sports team. Now keep in mind, darko has always screwed me over as he has personal issues with me. I thought in this instant, he would use common sense as it’s almost a 800 point swing in a few minutes.I kindly ask darko to void the bet (win or lose) or to honour the new price of +425 (which was clearly the correct price as every other book had it at this price)Here are his responses.https://ibb.co/kch9bbYhttps://ibb.co/n3TS1v9https://ibb.co/tpyb9Phhttps://ibb.co/HpdfVMbAll correspondence is happening literally during the match. I expected a quick void so that there would be no discrepancy if my player somehow won.Darko drags it out for the whole match and he even goes as far as to tell me “don’t cashout the bet” ok darko, I’ll listen to you and wait.Let’s fast forward to the second set. My player is now -5000 live and they were offering $5300 of $6400 on a cashout. Darko continues to tell me not to cash out.Photo below https://ibb.co/8s39TyYanyways, I don’t hear back from darko until it’s 5-1 in the second set for my player and he decides to tell me “let’s just leave it how it is” after trolling me the whole match for what clearly was a line error, he waited until the last second to decide on his own to just leave it as is.Photo belowhttps://ibb.co/bPFWY6wIt’s quite clear he was doing this on purpose and waiting to see who would win the match before deciding to void the bet or not. I believe that it’s stakes responsibility to honour the multi with the correct odds as they did not void it originally.Don’t trust this scam site. Especially if support dislikes you. They will play games with you and ***** you over like it’s normal. I look forward to posting this on every single SPORTSBOOK forum in the world. if they can do this to big losing customer like me, they’ll do it to anyone! HERE IS AN UPDATE AFTER SPEAKING WITH STEFAN FROM SPORTS TEAM Clearly he has some common sense unlike others. https://ibb.co/SnJVD1Q https://ibb.co/8NgDL1S https://ibb.co/rGtLqYc https://ibb.co/kGY4vwT I have been a loyal customer for almost two years and I have lost well over 1.5 million dollars- this has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with the unprofessional way they have dealt with this matter.
  9. Hello all . Here is some info on Binance and Bplay.org Bplay.org is a cryptocurrency online casino that is linked from BINANCE.COM. On November 2020 i registered on Binance trading website. Next month i started gambling on bplay.org. Bplay.org is linked on Binances website and using the same credentials to log, you do not need verification ( verification was already completed on Binance ) , transferring and withdrawals were immediate completed through my Binance account. Bplay.org uses the same login and password to Binance, theres a linkage between these websites. Overall i was a winner on small amounts mostly on roulette. On 24/12/2020 just a few seconds after a deposit of 100 USDT my account was frozen and almost 2 months later .. today i cannot access my account. I tried to contact Binance about the problem but they refused to help acting like they are not responsible. I contacted Bplay.org , 2 weeks later found out that they have blocked my account for a security reason. They wrote that they will need a lot more time to check the problem on logs. They also suggest me to open a new account on their casino and continue gambling ( which of cource havent done ! ) At these last 4 days i have emailed Binance.com to inform them that i will post my case on askgamblers.com and there was no reply. I contacted bplay.org and they do also ignore my emails. Of cource i will not trade any more on Binance, I consider this trading company also a scam. My 100 usdt are lost. ( I have contacted live chat support on askgamblers.com ... too bad i cannot file a complaint on that casino, it is not registerered and not regulated. )
  10. Hello I saw some feedback by users about scamming in 1xbet company now I want to show you an surprising cheat This is about sport betting me and my friends placed bet on a football match in K-LAEGUE (south korean football league) between Pohang steelers vs Ulsan hyundai on6.6.2020 our bet is on Total shots of this match but they counted the number of shots unbelievable and completely wrong and funny !!! first i checked statistics of popular sites like sofa score-365scores-goal and etc. https://www.goal.com/en/match/ulsan-v-pohang-steelers/dcs3mveg4u6rjuttr9cmvqtwp https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/pohang-steelers/7650 https://www.365scores.com/football/south-korea/k-league-1/game/pohang-steelers-ulsan-hyundai/2240382/stats as you see in the pictures total of the shots in this match is 25 or more but 1xbet count them wrongly 16!!! here is the official video of full match: and if you watch it you can see right shots in : 1:4 - 3:50 - 7:50 - 14 - 15:50 - 23:50 - 25:28- 25:30 - 33:37- 36 - 56:15- 60- 60:10 - 67:30 - 72:30 - 74 - 74:05 - 75:35 - 81:10 - 84:10 - 84:12 - 86:50 - 91 - 91:10 I sent them many emails first they told me to send them video of the match when they saw the video they called me and told : shots on can not calculate in the total shots!!!!! as you can see in the picture in main rulls 19 of the site they wrote : Shots on goal : for bet settlement purposes, all shots on and off target count. they do not obey their own rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also you can see that how they ruined my bet slips unfairly The interesting part of this story is that for other matches they count shots on target as shots on goal but for this match every thing is different! for example this match in bundesliga on 6.6.2020 they count shots on target on total shots on goal: https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/matchday/2019-2020/30/bayer-04-leverkusen-vs-fc-bayern-muenchen/stats Help!!!!!
  11. Every bookmaker / casino do sh.ts .. Right ? How do you know before you got bad experience? Currently i am looking for new bookmaker and i am checking some sites to get info. It seems af first look that all of them are great.. maybe later when you got punched in the face , than you get the truth . I dont know ..
  12. Just wanting to air my frustration with UKGC. They have now removed stop spins from every single casino and every single slot machine for UK. Sorry but how is that helping problem gamblers? that's right it's not. Instead what it does is make it harder to win. Don't tell me that stop spins are no different than regular spins. 80% or more of me landing the bonus or hitting big wins has been on stop spins, it gives the player a fairer chance at landing something nice. Now slots have been ruined for me, you can't stop spin any slot? sorry but that is just ridiculous. They know damn well that it just makes it harder to win. How is that helping problem gamblers when slots still allow you to do £100 spins??? Absolutely ridiculous. They are simply weeding out smaller players who can afford to spend maybe £100 in a session, meanwhile streamers that can sit all day doing £5+ per spin until they hit a massive win are not affected. UKGC have done absolulety nothing to help problem gamblers. Oh and making you wait 2-2.5 seconds now per spin, that just makes the games less enjoyable. That is literally zero benefit to any player. Don't tell me that problem gamblers will spend less because they have to wait a fraction of a second longer per spin, that's absolutely ludicrous. So yeah I'm really annoyed about the new rules. As I said it's simply making it more difficult to win and that is exactly why UKGC have done what they have. I would set up a petition to revert these changes but seems I've seen no one else complain about it. Looks like it may be time to quit casino forever for me.
  13. Melbet are witholding my €20,000 balance without reason and no longer replying to messages. My ASKGAMBLERS complaint (https://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/melbet-casino-unable-to-withdraw-my-winnings) was ignored along with telephone calls, emails and Skype messages to support. I will update here if there any developments following my complaint to the Curacao regulator or response to writ of summons being filed in Cyprus against the webite owner and billing agent Tukia Limited.
  14. This company is a scam and does not pay, they stole me. They sent messages of makerting about offers and promotions, including by email, to players and do not honor. They are dishonest and do not pay. The support service plays with you, treats you like an idiot. In summary: it is a site that only wants to receive deposits and does not pay anyone the promotions offered The site sent an email to all users, promising a reload promotion, for all deposits made between 20 and 26 of February, up to 500 TL (80usd, 75eur) Below is a picture of the email they sent to users Day 21 I accessed my account. The promotion was there, needing a deposit to be activated, with the status: “No deposit made during the promotion period” I made my deposit, on day 21. Then, the status changed to "You can apply for the bonus now". The “REQUEST” icon appeared. I clicked and immediately the bonus amount was added to my balance and I was able to play with it I fulfilled the rollover, completely As the promotion was for all deposits between the 20th and the 26th, I thought about making a new deposit, to earn the bonus again I went to the “PROMOTIONS” section, and there was the promotion offer again. However, with the status: "Only one bonus allowed during a 72-hour break". Soon, I couldn't participate again That is, as I used it on day 21, I could only use it again on day 24 I waited 3 days. On day 25 I accessed the PROMOTIONS section, the offer was still there and now the status was also as on day 21: “No deposit made during the promotion period” Then, on the same day 25, I deposited 81.00, to win 80.00 bonus. After this deposit, status changed to "You can apply for the bonus now". The “REQUEST” icon appeared. I clicked, believing which a new bonus will to be added for me account Now that the problem had occurred: the REQUEST icon did not work now. When I clicked on it, the page updated, but returned to the same page, with the same REQUEST icon, that is, the bonus amount was not credited as it always was Below, the promotions screen, taken on February 25, when the system failed with the “Request” icon: A clear and obvious technical problem, a website failure, a problem for the IT team to solve Immediately, I contacted support. I explained what was going on. I informed them what the mistake was, for them to pass it on to the IT team to resolve. But that they would must to resolve quickly, because the next day (26) the promotion would end and leave all the PROMOTIONS page of my account, and the bonus "not requested by me" (due to website error, since the REQUEST icon did not work) would expire and disappear I was told to try to activate by another browser. I tried, it didn't work. I was told to wait, that they would contact the responsible sector. I waited all day 26 and nothing, no reply by email or message on the account. All day 27 passed, and nothing. And all next days I was ignored They could to have credited the 80.00 manually, very easy to solve The worst thing is to enter the chat and explain all of this above, for some patetic members of support service who don't seem to be even 7 years old, after all they don't understand anything that is explained to them, or if they are made of donkeys and are really dishonest I explained to about 5 different attendants and none of them knew anything about this promotion, on the contrary, they said it didn't exist. Such a thing is bullshit. Only Turkish support knows about the promotion, I try to talk to them and they send them to Portuguese support (because the Turkish translation is poorly done by the translation program) It is a ridiculous, bad support, bordering full and complete amateurism. Total nonsense. They are unable to understand what they read. I explained by showing screenshots of the promotions screen when the error happened, with the REQUEST button active (the only thing needed to have a bonus amount credited to the balance is to deposit and click on this REQUEST icon, which did not work this time) I also warned them to resolve until the 26th, otherwise the promotion would leave the page. I also said that this was what was going to happen: as I saw that they were trying to say that there was no promotion, that there was no mistake, that they were lying and that the IT team would not even try to solve it, they would only wait 1 day for promotion to end and they didn't need to have work I said that they would do this and it was said and done: the 26th passed, the promotion disappeared from my account as unsolicited, expired, and when I enter the chat now they say that there was no promotion or that I already requested (yes, I requested the 21st, but the promotion was on all deposits in this period as long as within 72 hours between one and the other) In resume: it is a dishonest company, made by dishonest thieves and with a support of idiots who behave like children of 7 years doing themselves who do not understand what the customer writes I recommend that no one create an account in this crappy, amateur and dishonest company, and don't even put a penny in it, otherwise they will be stolen. They robbed me of failing to credit my 80.00 bonus, imagine if it was a great value money

  16. Dear team AskG, good morning for all!I am writing for to try help on my issue case in Tipbet bookmakerFirstly, I let you to share and foward all my personal details and the present case for yours partners as too to MGA (Malta Gaming Authority)The issue:I participated of one promotion 15,00 freebetTerms and rules are in thousands sites on internet, searching by bonus code "EXTRA15"This promotion have a rollover of 10x 15,00, in other words, rollover of 150,00One big and hard rollover couting only multiple bets of 2 or more selections of 1,80 odd minimum eachI completed this requirements in full, as prove evidence of bets:https://i.imgur.com/Jk7cwbF.jpgAs stated in terms and rules, the maximum profit with this promotion is 100,00In image screenshot above with bonus details and bets settled using this bonus, I completed the rollover with one balance of 119,56 profitIn other words, with one extra 19,56 only about the maximum profitIn moment of rollover completed, I waited those 19,56 to be removed of my account as exist that limit. This not happenedI sent mail messages to support, reporting this and requesting a manual remove of those 19,56. This not happenedThen, I believed to can continue playing and using my account normally, depositing and making news bets on sports gamesI did it. I done deposits and thousands of others bets, as I too win new bonuses about my deposits during all that timeNo problem happened. Nothing of message from support Tipbet for long time, long days period. All was running fine and I depositing and playing, happyI some moment after days depositing and playing thousands bets, my balance was in 522,56I resolved to do withdraw of part of this amountFor my surprise, the Tipbet removed 464,00 of my account, manually. A absurd in my mindWhy didn't they removed that 19,56 in due moment after the rollover completed? Why to wait days, to wait customer to do deposits, to win new bonuses, to do thousands of other bets?This is a failure of support or of system. This wasn't my failure as customer, I advised about that 19,56 aditional on limitI cannot to be penalized for this. I am a honest customer and did all my part, playing, depositing, participating of offers sent to my email addressIt is inadmissible for an honest customer who trusted the site to put their money to be harmed by an internal site, support or system failure that did not automatically remove those extra 19.56 or even manually after being warned by meI ask for help from AskG team while expecting honesty and fair play from Tipbet staff, to return those 464,00 that have been removed, back to my account, for me to can continue playing on the site with this balance, which I have honestly earned by playing, depositing and participating in various promotions on the siteI hope everything was just a system inconvenience and can be fixed with the return of the value that was removed, 464.00. And I will be updating everyone here as soon as the case is solved by Tipbet. I want and need to believe that this is an honest company
  17. This is a contributed post by Bill Harris, former CEO of Intuit and founding CEO of PayPal and Personal Capital. I’m tired of saying, “Be careful, it’s speculative.” Then, “Be careful, it’s gambling.” Then, “Be careful, it’s a bubble.” Okay, I’ll say it: Bitcoin is a scam. In my opinion, it’s a colossal pump-and-dump scheme, the likes of which the world has never seen. In a pump-and-dump game, promoters “pump” up the price of a security creating a speculative frenzy, then “dump” some of their holdings at artificially high prices. And some cryptocurrencies are pure frauds. Ernst & Young estimates that 10 percent of the money raised for initial coin offerings has been stolen. The losers are ill-informed buyers caught up in the spiral of greed. The result is a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary families to internet promoters. And “massive” is a massive understatement — 1,500 different cryptocurrencies now register over $300 billion of “value.” It helps to understand that a bitcoin has no value at all. Promoters claim cryptocurrency is valuable as (1) a means of payment, (2) a store of value and/or (3) a thing in itself. None of these claims are true. 1. Means of Payment. Bitcoins are accepted almost nowhere, and some cryptocurrencies nowhere at all. Even where accepted, a currency whose value can swing 10 percent or more in a single day is useless as a means of payment. 2. Store of Value. Extreme price volatility also makes bitcoin undesirable as a store of value. And the storehouses — the cryptocurrency trading exchanges — are far less reliable and trustworthy than ordinary banks and brokers. 3. Thing in Itself. A bitcoin has no intrinsic value. It only has value if people think other people will buy it for a higher price — the Greater Fool theory. Cryptocurrency is best-suited for one use: Criminal activity. Because transactions can be anonymous — law enforcement cannot easily trace who buys and sells — its use is dominated by illegal endeavors. Most heavy users of bitcoin are criminals, such as Silk Road and WannaCry ransomware. Too many bitcoin exchanges have experienced spectacular heists, such as NiceHash and Coincheck, or outright fraud, such as Mt. Gox and Bitfunder. Way too many Initial Coin Offerings are scams — 418 of the 902 ICOs in 2017 have already failed. Hackers are getting into the act. It’s estimated that 90 percent of all remote hacking is now focused on bitcoin theft by commandeering other people’s computers to mine coins. Even ordinary buyers are flouting the law. Tax law requires that every sale of cryptocurrency be recorded as a capital gain or loss and, of course, most bitcoin sellers fail to do so. The IRS recently ordered one major exchange to produce records of every significant transaction. And yet, a prominent Silicon Valley promoter of bitcoin proclaims that “Bitcoin is going to transform society ... Bitcoin’s been very resilient. It stayed alive during a very difficult time when there was the Silk Road mess, when Mt.Gox stole all that Bitcoin ...” He argues the criminal activity shows that bitcoin is strong. I’d say it shows that bitcoin is used for criminal activity. Bitcoin transactions are sometimes promoted as instant and nearly free, but they’re often relatively slow and expensive. It takes about an hour for a bitcoin transaction to be confirmed, and the bitcoin system is limited to five transactions per second. MasterCard can process 38,000 per second. Transferring $100 from one person to another costs about $6 using a cryptocurrency exchange, and well less than $1 using an electronic check. Bitcoin is absurdly wasteful of natural resources. Because it is so compute-intensive, it takes as much electricity to create a single bitcoin — a process called “mining” — as it does to power an average American household for two years. If bitcoin were used for a large portion of the world’s commerce (which won’t happen), it would consume a very large portion of the world’s electricity, diverting scarce power from useful purposes. All of this would be a comic sideshow if innocent people weren’t at risk. But ordinary people are investing some of their life savings in cryptocurrency. One stock brokerage is encouraging its customers to purchase bitcoin for their retirement accounts!

  18. This is the worst casino and sportsbook site ever. He stole my winnings from me. They do not have money to pay players who make a profit. It's a deposit-only site, and never makes payments from those who need to withdraw. I would not recommend this site to anyone. Anyone who registers an account and places money on this site will only be able to lose. They are dishonest and use hidden and obscure terms and conditions to steal your money. Look for another site to play, a site that is honest. Never create an account or put money in Tipbet, or you will lose everything and you will have many headaches for this. Hello players friends, I am having difficulty solving a subject occurred on Tipbet.com website Below, I will tell you what happened, in detail and with printscreens that will facilitate understanding. With this, I humbly ask you to help us to get in touch with the staff of the site or its supervisors, with the intention of reaching an honest resolution to this I am an old site user, depositor and with thousands of bets made. I had never made a withdrawal before. However, recently I participated in a promotion where I would win a bonus and would have to meet the conditions of playing his value multiplied by 10. The maximum winnings after the rollover was 100.00. OK no problems So I started playing, I stayed days, weeks, months playing. Normally. Until I was able to fulfill the difficult and heavy rollover. My account balance was, now after the rollover ended, 119.56 (according to the print screen attached here, which shows the value after the rollover and below shows the bets made that fulfilled the rollover). In other words, the 100.00 of maximum gains + 19.56 extra that I left in the account without using it, because it was not mine and the site should remove at any time. This balance was now withdrawable money balance Perfectly, everything okay up here. I did not want to make the withdrawal of 100.00. The terms and conditions of the promotion or website did not report anything about this. I decided to continue playing on the site. Using those 100.00, using values deposited by me, using new bonuses offered by the site, using new deposit bonus, and all this mixed in a single balance, obviously I spent more days, weeks, playing, without asking for any retreat. By the time my balance was now at 522.56. So I decided to make a withdrawal of a small part of this amount But here the problem began. While I was happy to have had some profit after weeks of playing, I imagined that the site would only withdraw the additional extras 19,56, I was taken by surprise: the site removed 464.00 from my account! Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly and without speaking, nothing Immediately, I contacted the support to complain about this, reporting the error, to remove only the 19.56 and not 464.00. And the site claimed that the maximum earnings was 100.00 In other words, the site has the thought that all my thousands of bets was still with the bonus. The site disregards that I made deposits, won new bonuses, fulfilled the new rollovers of the new bonuses, I used therefore real money that were not bonuses, but only because all this mixed with those 100.00 coming from that bonus, the site is in the right to consider everything as arising from the bonus It's an absurd. They claim that the user would need to make the 100.00 withdrawal as soon as he rolled the rollover. Wait to receive the withdrawal. And re-deposit the 100.00 to continue playing. However, this does not follow an honest logic, this does not exist in any site. The user must withdraw a value, by obligation, having to stop playing on the site while waiting 1, 2 or 3 days to receive, and then re-deposit that. This is unacceptable. On the contrary, I liked the site and decided to continue playing on it, including depositing and making thousands of other bets, participating in new promotions! If there was really this obligation, after the rollover, to stop playing, withdraw the value 100.00 immediately, wait 1, 2 or 3 days to receive, and then re-deposit, to just now continue to play the account, they put this on the terms and conditions, expressly and clearly saying: after the rollover, stop playing, withdraw the 100.00, wait for payment, deposit again the 100.00 and start using your account again! Or that the site had contacted me by email to report this! But, no, none of this was on the terms and conditions, nor did anyone on the site contact me to warn about this, which made me continue to play on the site without making any withdrawals, make deposits, win new deposit bonuses, fulfill your rollovers normally , make everything real money cash withdrawable, so only after all this try to withdraw some part of the balance Attached, it follows the image of print screen that shows the moment that I finished the rollover: 119,56 = balance in account made with the bonus 150.00 = rollover required to comply with rollover 150.20 = the sum of the bets I made and rolled 0.20 = remaining value to end the rollover (negative because I did more than needed) Below, in Bonus Stake History, follow the bets that I made and that counted to fulfill rollover I humbly ask your help and respectfully ask for the understanding and fair play by the Tipbet team to return my balance of $ 464.00 to my account so that I can continue playing on the site or pay me this amount as withdrawal so that I re-deposit and continue playing because there was no reporting withdrawal obligation after rollover
  19. i came across a casino that i did not do my research on i did make a deposit :-( my fault i do know better than this just wondering if anyone has come across this casino or have been paid by them in the past any feed back would be appreciated
  20. I am fully disappointed and frustrated with this company They removed my winnings 464€ without acceptable reason I wins one bonus with rollover 150,00 and with maximum winnings limited in 100€ Then I done bets using the bonus (prove evidence here in attachments files) and ended the rollover with 119,56 as proved in this image of prove evidence Then, after this moment of rollover ended, all bets I done (thousands of bets for long days of last weeks) was done using deposit funds, bonus deposit funds (other bonus) and real money I then have now 522,56€. I asked a withdraw and when the finance team was remove that extra 19,56 (because with the bonus I wins 119,56 but the maximum is 100,00) then this team wrong and removed 464€ I am being stoled by Tipbet, I am fully disappointed and frustrated with it. I have all print screen of my thousands bets done for long days there. And the prove evidence of page bonus (prove evidence here in attachments files) proving they would must to remove only 19,56 I think they are promesing bonuses only for to lie, offers liers without to honour if the customer to win and end the hard rollover with some profit, only as strategy of marketing I think, then, Tipbet is scam company. I am unhappy with this and resolved to public for millions of peoples in all world here in this forum, as alert of scam company
  21. Hi, in this video i summed up experiences made at William Hill from 4 different player. All experienced scams, missleading promos in a very intransparent, unfair enviroment. Watch this video for more details:
  22. Hi guys so i made a few deposits over the last few days and won and lost. Now i have 19.1 btc of which i won from 1.4 btc, so wagering requirements have been met. I submitted a 3 btc withdrawal and then the remaining 16.1 BTC. After many hours (15hrs) 3 BTC was a success but the 16.1 btc has been 'CANCELLED" and the balance is still showing 0. I feel these casino's are full of it! Why is there issues like this on big wins! They are fine to take my 9 btc over the last few days but when I win there is this problem. Live support says they don't know why it was cancelled and they will contact me soon. Any thoughts on FortuneJack and whether they are scammers
  23. I have been scammed by a casino that is not listed on askgamblers (Bet it all), but want to know if I can add it here on askgamblers to warn others? The casino is unfortunately not listed on askgamblers for reviews, so is there a way to add it? Also, is there anything I can do as a player for a Curacao registered casino? The background is that I made an honest deposit and played 100% slots in line with the terms and conditions. After I won over 1000 euros for the first time they just shut my account although it was 100% fair play. They could not give a reason, just that management decided not to pay out. With a lot of experience playing I can with certainty say this is a rouge casinos scamming others, so I would like to warn other, but dont know how to do it.
  24. Hello, I have played big stake Live Roulette for a year and I`m so sure it is rigged. I have seen the ball take the most amazing spins possible. I know its kinetic energy and the ball will spin and change direction, but some of the jumps are not possible in my opinion. For instance I have played my three numbers for one hour, bust and then without exagerating my 3 numbers come the following three spins in a row. What are the odds?But I might just be unlucky.. However after chasing an answer from Betsafe how I can be certain the casino is not rigged and onlyd reciving half answeres What I have found out my self is; 1. Live VIP Casino in Riga offered by Betsafe amongst others is not concidered a casino in their home country Latvia, only a video studio. So local authorities will and do not regulate them. 2. Alderny G C does not regulate this Casino/ video stream after installed like Live Support always will refer to if you challenge them. 3. It is 100% impossible to find any reports of control etc of this video studio/ casino. 4. I accuse the casino of manipulating results by magnets or whatever to make the ball hit the number with least payout. How? very easy, there are plenty of pattents available. 5. Evolution Gaming/ the video studio always knows bets before ball lands, so easy math will show what numbers to not hit. 6. Evoultion Gaming makes more money the more people loose. Is that right if they are not a Casino? Should they at all be allowed a percentege not just a set amount every month? 7. After chasing an answer here my acount was blocked and from VIP(being invited to trips to Malta, France, Dublin etc) I`?m suddenly blocked out from all. 8. I have chased answers here diretly with CEO etc, and never an answer. 9. How is it possible that not one local authority in Riga performs any control of this casino. 10. I now play for a different company, and have chased the same answer there. They hide behind ECOGRA sela of approval? Well this Live casino stream does not come up on teh selal of approval list, so how can a company offering this game say they have the Seal of approval? If anyone out there can please inform me of any controls etc of these video streams etc it would be most aprechiated. I apologize for some misspelling, not fluent in written english. If anyone has some info heer it owuld be so aprechiated. Kind regards A
