I am not entirely happy with this sponsorship, in-fact disappointed.

[1.] Having the money in BTC what makes this pool more adventurous, you don't know when you will get the prize if it worth more in fiat or less so you feel a sense of excitement. On the other hand we are in bitcoin forum. It does not matter what price BTC will have since they sent the money, I don't see any reason not to convert it in BTC instead of keeping it in USDT shitcoin. What will happen if something happen to USDT and the funds goes freeze?

[2.] I am not happy to advertise Rollbit. In the last few months they managed to gain a lot of bad noise from the industry [refer to scam accusation board]. Bad customer service, not being fair enough to their players, promo allows some sort of guaranteed win [odd is as low as 1.01] but when player use the odd they ban or do not pay the players. I am not sure if they ever refunded any bet which was lost on that odd. To me this is a very bad practice and it opens the door for them to scam the players money. And this pool is surely being paid with the money that they scammed.

[3.] What I suspect is, this is a good opportunity for Rollbit to bring some highly influential members of bitcointalk in their favour and validate the poor management, in some cases the wrong reasons to ban their users and justify not to pay the players. I don't want to be a part of this scam.

I have not checked if the following cases are solved but these are some from the first six pages of scam accusation board.

Unfortunately these are just few of many. There are many accusations like above.

One seems solved: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5459546.0

The scam accusations come up against them regularly and some are very genuine. But they are leveraging their long lasting signature campaign [many people just don't speak against them] and now this pool sponsoring is another way to forcefully justify the wrong reason for them to scam more money from the players. I am pretty sure when more accusations like these will come up many of the users who are accepting this sponsorship will have a biased opinion and will think Rollbit is doing right thing and the players are always wrong.

I have been a part of this pool for many years. It's one of the important part of my forum activity and makes CL for me more exciting. On the other hand considering the history of Rollbit and their scammy shady practice of not paying the players and now this sponsoring of the pool is looking to me one more step to silence the accusations against the players. I deny to be a part of it.

I don't know how other members on the pool feel about it but I feel joining this pool will allow me to support a shady business management team to scam more players. Hence unless we have a plan to remove Rollbit from sponsoring this year CL pool I will step down from the pool.

Let me know if we have any alternative.
