Dear Customers,

We do not enter into this kind of discussion, however I would like to underline few points.

1. Yes, we are proud to be the first Bitcoin bookmaker to be launched in 2011, when only few people knew about Bitcoin. The next Bitcoin sportsbook was launched 1 year after us.

2. Michael Hoshford is NOT CEO of Anonibet. In fact Anonibet does not have a CEO. We have 35 employees in total for the time being and we are actually hiring more people to grow further Anonibet.

3. The Deposit Bonus we are giving can be subject to abuse, we are perfectly aware of it. In fact we launched the Deposit Bonus in order to encourage NON-Bitcoin punters to switch to Bitcoin. We are fervent believers of Bitcoin, and we are putting all our efforts to promote it anywhere anytime. Unfortunately, some people pretending being from Bitcoin community are abusing our Deposit Bonus by placing 300 single bets per day on odds as little as 1.01 in order to make some extra Bitcoins. Bonus hunters only job is to place bets all day long to make few Bitcoins, this is a clear abuse and it is our right to cancel their bonus and bonus winnings (only).

4. These abusers will not stop Anonibet efforts to promote Bitcoin to NON-Bitcoin communities. We will introduce new terms and conditions in order to prevent them in the near future.

Dear Anonibet,

You do not enter into this kind of discussion because you are cheating people with your unclear terms of conditions.

1. Yes, you should be ashamed of yourselves by this practice even though you are the first Bitcoin bookmarker to be launched in 2011, when only few people knew about Bitcoin. The next Bitcoin sportsbook, Nitrogen have been operating in a much fair manner.

2. I'm sorry for this information. I thought so when I see he replied to some accusations with his own name, previously (e.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55365.msg8745537;topicseen#msg8745537) and withheld my 65 BTC for additional 2 days due to my report to Bitcoin Foundation.

3. The Deposit Bonus you have been giving can be subject to BENEFIT, not abuse, I am perfectly aware of it and I'm using it by following ALL your terms and conditions. However, the terms and conditions you specified is simply NOT CLEAR, as mentioned by numerous people in this thread. You simply CANNOT blame or intervene bettors for how they place their bets. Face the consequences if you are sincerely supporting Bitcoin. You have been giving an opportunity to bettors in order to destroy your competitors aggressively and hiding under Rule #5.08 in order to confiscate bettors' money.

Bettors are not the ones to be blamed if you give the opportunity to place a bet in any odds. Moreover, this surebet strategy that I mentioned previously can easily be applied for odds above 1.01. (e.g. 1.30 - 1.50 - 1.80 - 1.90 and maybe more). Basically it can be applied to any odds you provide from 1.01 to 2.00, according to my observations. In this regard, it is impossible for you to make a distinction between who is an abuser and who is not because your terms and conditions doesn't provide the DEFINITION of ABUSER or BONUS ABUSE, clearly. A bonus hunter or a surebettor or a chaotic neutral paladin or a fairy dragon (whatever it's called) has the right to place a bet on any odds at Anonibet when the right opportunity comes and you cannot intervene their TRADING DECISIONS. If you are intervening on how a bettor can bet, that is simply not a fair practice.

4. We will see. It's a way of saying "Anonibet cannot sustainably cheat bettors. Anonibet will definitely change its cheating methods, accordingly." Yeah, go ahead. Until you find a way not to cheat bettors, I'm after you and I'm committed that I will make every effort to identify your possible future scamming activities.

5. You are obliged to send me 5.076 BTC + daily interest rate of 0.5% since 10th of Feb = 5.1525 BTC for not providing a justification for the case, yet the discussion of the case is much more important for me. I want this case to be discussed publicly in a fair manner, with a 3rd party audit which will be decided mutually. I'm also waiting for Bitcoin Foundation's and SBR's respond on this case and so far I notice, they haven't responded yet. I sincerely believe that the importance of this case is extremely high for Bitcoin.
