Dean Nolan is using an excuse to say that he locked the Betking thread because he was tired of asnwering the same questions again and again. He locked his Betking thread because he cannot justify how he ended up with millions from the ICO when the investors lost almost everything.

Unlike you I CAN say for certain that Dean Nolan is wrong on multiple fronts. He made millions of US$ from the ICO and continues to make "profits" from the millions of tokens that were never released in the ICO. His payout token payout structure is flawed and does not favour investors. The 10% buy-back token system is completely pathetic because it forces investors to keep 90% of their tokens if they want to sell them because they realised the website is a shambles and "profits" are almost non-existent or are under-performing extremely badly. They can list them on exchanges such as HitBTC but a post in this thread earlier showed there was basically no demand for Betking tokens so how can they be sold?

His claims of ICO investors buying in to the "profits" of the betking.io website versus his other statements about ICO investors buying in to the online casino itself have irritated many and therefore those that lost out in the ICO call Dean Nolan and Betking.io website a scam.

In this message from the thread that Dean Nolan has now locked the user iluvbitcoins stated: "We bought a share of the casino and the casino profited 12 million$ so far."

At the close of the ICO in September 2017 the total value of the ICO raised funds was around $6.5 million. In less than 3 months of the ICO the value rocketed to $12 million and within 4 months of the ICO the value rocked to around a MASSIVE $18 million. Dean Nolan has never added any of the Betking casino profits in crypto increase to return via token price increase to the ICO investors which is what the user in the above link was referring to.

Dean Nolan has never stated where he spent any of the 30 million tokens he never released during the ICO. Dean Nolan has never stated exactly how much went on the bankroll in the website launch. Dean Nolan has never released a whitepaper or accountable balance sheet to investors and ICO investors that show accountability for post-ICO actions can be compared to his pre-ICO claims.

These are some of the reasons why many people that invested in the ICO are calling Dean Nolan, Betking and the betking.io website a scam. Nothing Dean Nolan has done in the recent days has helped him disprove what people are saying about him.

Sure investors should never have invested in the Betking token structure with tiny payouts and just 10% buy-back but the ICO thread was flooded with bounty participants who were posting pro-Betking and pro-Dean Nolan propoganda so it was easy to get duped so I cannot blame investors.

Even now Dean Nolan is offering ownership of a share of the Betking casino and on the other hand he offers a share of the "profits" and he is doing it on the same page on his Betking website and it has frustrated many investors because Dean Nolan seems to be the only one who got rich by making millions directly from the ICO but the ICO investors and later investors got next to nothing so that is another reason why people are calling Dean Nolan and his betking.io website a scam:
