Over the past many months, who and how many times have thought that the site was about to shut down?
No one. Freebitco is one of the oldest Bitcoin website and it was one of the most trusted but everything changed dramatically. When you see an issue that's going on for months, it's better to be safe than sorry. I withdrew my coins almost a year ago because there were lots of issues.
This is unexpected situation knowing that there's still lots of people gamble here but they turn to become a questionable due to recent issues this casino is facing. Since there's a information about like that spread that they are about to shutdown its really better for gamblers to stop their activities here so that once there's something bad happen on this casino there's no funds from them will also get affected.
For sure many people already avoid freebitco.in and don't want to play here anymore. So its better for other to follow what they do and listen to the good suggestions given by people since its really risky to proceed if they take the risk then continue to gamble here.
