Here's the thing about BCC...it's not an opt in/opt out situation. If you have BTC at the time of the split, you have BCC after the split. It's given to you no questions asked. So for the major gambling sites like Moneypot and Nitrogen (I'm sure there are others, those are the two biggest ones I've been made aware of) to say "We don't recognize BCC"...that's lunacy. Someone is literally handing you massive amounts of money (likely in the millions of dollars), to not distribute that money to the accounts that in essence created it is tantamount to stealing that money from the players/investors.
JPR is normally the kind of shitposts, but in this case I think he's right on the money. Don't sleep on this disturbing situations just because of the person who brought it to your attention. We have major companies who are trying to sell us on the fact that they are ignoring accounts worth millions of dollars.
(They aren't)
(And it's not their money)
Coming from you, I am quite surprised that you missed that it is exactly what Betcoin.ag did (and as far as I know, Nitrogensports pledged to give back the BCHs to their customers but has yet to make good on their words).
Worse than that, at no point did they advise their customers to cash-out before the fork to split by themselves their BCHs. Betcoin.ag just said they will act in the best interests of their players and... kept all the BCHs for themselves.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2152902.0On a side note, it seems to have very little to no backlash towards gambling BTC sites that pulled that move. Probably, because most of the people who got stolen from did not know better to start with (or else they would have cashed out before the fork) so they are not even aware that those BCHs are theirs.
Sadly I expect when/if a next hardfork occurs, more annon BTC gambling companies will try to get away with stealing since it seems - no uproar at all from the community - that there is no repercussion to their action (exchanges would never do that as they would get sued right off the bat).
hey and thank you for that informative posting. all in all DarkDays is absolutely right when saying it was and is not their money and they stole it from their users and investors. yes it was easy money for them because no uproar happened
