i'm pretty sure it's not legal, but what can you expect from a casino that's operating without a license and is incorporated in a country that doesn't regulate gambling?
they think they can confiscate players money and do whatever they want without any consequences.
also, on their website, they say they are "Trusted & Supported by" notokyc.com,
but if you check notokyc website, you won't find betpanda listed anywhere.
they say the same about cointelegraph.com, but i know for a fact that they do not promote casinos. as i was told this personally by their partnerships executive.
i would probably find more shady shit if i look even more.
all things considered, i would avoid playing at this casino unless you are willing to risk having the same experience as OP. not to mention if you check online reviews, there are multiple people who have had the same thing happen to them.
@bettingfede1998 at this point, you should leave them a negative feedback with this thread as a reference.
you can do here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=3675233I also believe this is not legal, and as you said, just looking at online reviews is enough to understand the situation.
I'm new to Bitcointalk and wasn’t familiar with the feedback system, but now I’ve left one. Thanks for the suggestion!
The thing that stands out from this discussion ,besides the obvious SCAM from betpanda.io towards the bettor is that and please correct me if I have misunderstood this :
If lets say 50 casinos are using BetBy oddsprovider for their sportsbook and a bettor gets limited on one of them (lets say he got limited on BC.game) , then he is not eligible (?) to open an account on the rest 49 casinos and use their sportsbook because the odds provider is blatantly spreading his personal information in complete disregard of international laws protecting this very data ,towards every other casino that he will use in the future after getting limited at BC.game ,resulting to him not getting his winnings ever again from any other site?
Yes, that’s exactly the issue here, and it raises
serious concerns about both data privacy and fair play. If getting limited on one BetBy-powered sportsbook means
being flagged across all of them, then they are effectively sharing personal betting data between platforms without user consent—a clear violation of data protection laws.
In my case, Betpanda didn’t even know I was limited on BC.Game until
I openly mentioned it here in this thread. So either BetBy is secretly sharing user data between different casinos, or—what I strongly believe—
Betpanda is just using this as an excuse to justify confiscating my funds.
I actually wrote an email to BetBy about this, but received no response. I think I will write to them again to discuss this matter further.
Star Bright Media SRL only has an anjouan license for casinopunkz.io, they don't have one for betpanda.io.
their license for casinopunkz.io is irrelevant here since we are talking about betpanda.
also, if they did have a license for betpanda.io, they must have a validator link displayed on the website, as that's a requirement. and the domain name would have been listed on the anjouan license register.
you can check it yourself here:
https://anjouangaming.com/license-register/I haven't verified these things, and until a few days ago, I didn’t even think about paying attention to them. I didn’t even know what BetBy was. All of this raises even more doubts for me, but I believe Betpanda itself will eventually clarify these uncertainties.
However, there's one thing I don’t understand: they made me go through KYC, asked for my documents, and even required a video where I had to state that I’m not associated with anyone else (I’m not a criminal, and I don’t even fully understand what they meant by that lol), only to then tell me, "You violated the T&Cs, so we’re not giving you anything."
But if that were true, they already knew it before verifying my documents.
