I think this very well could be a lie.

Blaming a former employee looks much less bad on Betcoin than a third party gaining access. Also, Betcoin has a history of telling blatant lies both big and small. (Including lying about having a "new start, new owners etc", multiple times, in order to blame past scandals on someone else)

I can definitely see where your coming from, but given that PlayBetr/Coinbet were also breached (and any other sites using the same software), it's harder to believe. I suppose the argument could be made that they are all the same site but I think it's more likely that they're just using the same provider.

Coinbet.ag and Betcoin.ag were definitely managed by the same people a couple years ago. I once even got a withdraw approved on Coinbet through the Betcoin chat. They also used to advertise Coinbet dice tourneys on Betcoin.

I also stumbled on Playbetr a couple years ago before it was actually launched. It was identical to Betcoin but had a bunch of obvious bots in the chat and at the poker tables making the site appear active. It was really weird. They seem to have made a bunch of changes, including getting a lol curacao gaming license and not allowing US players. (something the Betcoin was planning on doing in 2018)
