I wouldn't have said this a while ago but I certainly have no trust for Dean anymore. He did fine right up until the point he got involved in the first ICO. After that I haven't seen much other than shady decisions from him and seemingly mostly ones that hurt investors.
Now, I didn't invest in his ICO myself because I didn't really see the point of it since he (atleast so I thought) made a lot of money from the site back when it was bankroll funded. Even then he basically just kept increasing fees on investments up to charging 50% as investor fees.
I've been keeping an eye on the ICO(s) and not much positive has gotten to my attention.
I used to look up to the guy.
I think it's worth noting he also ran a competition a while ago and basically cancelled the entire 20 BTC prize pool so it's not just investors he's screwed, players too.
If you look for an honest, trustworthy guy search for RHavar's comments on the forum regarding BetKing.
Yes that Christmas/New Years promotion was another scam that betking and scammer Dean Nolan pulled off:
