I think we are past the point of something nefarious going on. A user won 900 ltc last Sunday, rained out 400 ltc to chat and after holding her 500 ltc in a pending withdrawal for 5 days, ended up cancelling the w/d and lost it all.
Sorry for the late post but yeah, just had a hit of nostalgia and seeing my bud send a ltc or two my way in chat (thank you Rare).
Nah, this is pretty frequent on BV, happened even in 2021 with the delays and manual withdrawals. I should be tired of saying it, but BV's got the right mix of degens and laylows to know the deal. Wait for the payment, or lose it.
Site works for those who know how it goes. I'm still playing there every now and then, and I don't mind waiting for days for my withdrawal (or hell instant when the mysterious hot wallet is up).
I recommend staying a week in chat to get a feel for the place to understand what the deal is. Not for the faint of heart, and not for plopping down 1 BTC anymore for sure.
