I really don't know why but suddenly I see a lot of scam accusations popping up against primedice. Either its being dome by some competitor or is something really wrong?
Earlier everything used to be so smooth, why has primedice started asking for kyc suddenly? Authorities have become strict or dice is turning shady?
Since the domain hijack these things are happening, they locked all the accounts and the accounts with funds were unlocked after filling up the KYC and other verification process, even with 2fa enabled it was difficult for me to verify my details as they wanted to know my past IP addresses which is really impossible to present but i was somehow able to verify my deposit address and the amount of transactions i have made in the site as well as my rolls because i have the tendency to record everything whenever i gamble. That might not be the case with every users and they will find it difficult and so does these accusations i guess.
This user in question was linked by fingerprint to a user who defrauded PD out of a significant sum of money. Given that, their account had a flag on it before they even made a deposit. We asked for ID and the user provided an identity we believed wasnt theirs. We wanted to have a phone call with them to try and clear this up and after many delays they agreed. It was clear they had found a non-involved girl talk to us who didnt seem to know anything about primedice or bitcoin. That violated our terms but obviously that isn't why we held the withdrawal, we held it for the reason originally stated.
I'd like to stop this right here and make clear that this is not a matter of money but rather a matter of principle. I'm happy to donate at minimum the funds involved in this claim to a charity of the community's choosing. The trust of this community is not something we take for granted and is why we elected to post here to further explain this unusual situation.
