Unfortunately after a year of enjoying both playing and investing on Crypto-Games, I have had an incredibly distasteful experience - let this be a warning for all investors out there.
Crypto-Games has set an arbitrary 12-day window to claim the Bitcoin Cash (BCC) associated with their investor's BTC investments. Having only read their blog post about it today, I wrote a polite email, apologizing for missing their deadline and asking for my BCC to be paid out. Their response:
"sorry but distribution is over, everyone had 3 weeks time to set it up and we sent two emails about it."
With regards to their two emails, the first email promised to pay investors their BCC and made no reference to any immediate deadline. To quote:
"Bitcoincash (BCC) is the name of a hard-fork off bitcoin's chain planned to happen on August 1st. We've previously promised to allow investors access to all resulting chains, and we will stick with that promise. CryptoGames is not going to list or support BCC, but we are going to pay out BCC to investors and players" (emphasis mine).
The only email they sent with a direct reference to the deadline was on August 8th, giving investors five days to set up a BCC wallet. And unfortunately in my case, this email was in my junk folder.
Regardless, not reading your blog posts or emails for a few days is not an excuse to steal investors' funds.
From reading this thread, I believe Lutpin is one of the developers. I'd like to hear from you on your policy.
1. Why do you think unclaimed BCC belongs to you after 12 days (and does not belong to your investors)?
2. On Aug 1st, Crypto-Games bankroll was approx. 1315 BTC. How much of this BCC are you keeping and how much was paid out to investors?
I'm hoping you are considering a change of policy and I will happily rescind the above if that is the case. You are a profitable and successful digital casino - there is no reason to treat people who have supported you unfairly. Retaining and refusing to release investors' funds directly assaults the goodwill you've built to date as a thus far legitimate and transparent casino.
