That's obviously a very wrong thing to do. If a site cannot fulfill their promises then should not advertise it at first place.
The old users like us are still not calling freebitco.in a scam because of it's previous reputation but if any newbie joins freebitco.in falling for it's false advertisements then he will definitely call freebitco.in a scam.
Their standards have definitely fallen to the ground and it's just a shame to be honest.
Together with the community, create your alternative version of freebitco.in. Write the code, launch it, and let new players enjoy it without deposit and withdrawal delays. Choose 1-2 people to replace TheQuin. Why has no one done anything yet?
