Sportsbet.io Betting Issue: Double Spend

[steven126]

I sent two deposits to sportsbet.io

They received both transactions.  Both were pending, yet they still accepted both sports bets, played and won.  
323 mBTC and 343 mBTC
They always allow plays while awaiting confirmations (after the receive the hash on the blockchain in their wallet)


After 36 hours both confirmations were not confirmed

So i contact security and I am flagged for what is called a double spend.  (which my account was temporary suspended) After it was released as not a double spend security approves one of my deposits, and simply cancels the other (declined they said)

So they paid for the first bet, declined the second.  One week later they magically received my other deposit.  They apologize for freezing my account and give me 50 free mBTC.  Due to their terms and conditions if this was an attempted double suspend I would have banned for life.  

So Now its interesting coz a week after my depsoit they refuse to pay the win on the original bet......  only refund the balance.

So I had to come here document everything and let the world know what happened to me.  Wish I would have saw this forum before.  

Thank you

Hah! This is probably the first time issue with Bitcoins...or the first issue that I know of anyway, hehehe.

As with any other currencies too...expect to get more such issues as time goes by...nothing can be perfect.

 

Thanks for letting us know Steven.

You are most welcome.

 

Sincerely hope some of our Bitcoin/Sportsbetting experienced forum members will soon jump in and share their point of view.

By the way, every transaction is recorded on the blockchain.  By security telling me it disappeared from the blockchain is illogical.  That would be like me calling my credit card company not recording a transaction,and asking why my wife spent 2K on a diamond.  Then magically it shows up a week later?  They still claim to this day they never received both transactions, even though they paid out for one , and refunded the other (minus the winnings)

Well Steven...some things simply cannot change...the law of nature! Anything on air...like the internet and the Blockchain...can be susceptible to airborne disruptions...nothing can be perfect all the time! If those Bitcoin people tell you that Blockchain is 100% full-proof...hahaha...I don't ever think so!
