It has become very difficult to defend the behaviour of BC Game.
Clearly with hindsight, had BC Game known matters would deteriorate to this extent they would have saved themselves the hassle and would have settled with you when the issue arose.
I can understand their perspective as there is a reluctance to settle with you because they are claiming they are 100% innocent of the bankruptcy ruling and to save face cannot settle with you even though they probably know you will challenge them in other jurisdictions and they will suffer immensely when rulings are made against them.
Unfortunately for BC Game, they have suffered the consequences of challenging a determined and confident individual such as yourself and now they are paying the price with their reputation damaged beyond repair.
The matter of me being successful like I was previously is the only obstacle in getting that resolution in other markets. I know for the fact that USDA of Miami-Dade County is pursuing investigation into their US-targeted advertising efforts and will (soon?) release public statement in regards to them. For the Belize and Cyprus, that's going to be legal battle (same/similar to Curacao one), so lets see if we're going to be successful.
I'm not much of an optimistic person in regards to my case, but nonetheless I have no intention to stop in regards to exposing BCgame for what they really are - scammers and liars.
Understandably, if they were 100% sure they were innocent, they should've taken legal path to fighting claims in court, which would've cost them nothing, other than depositing amount of claims (which was $2.X m as I was not the only claimant, but the only one publicly talking) and providing banknote guarantee that they're solvent and could settle in case they lose in court. They didn't, and instead went to blame outdated laws of Curacao for them being declared bankrupt and just evading actual laws from the country they held their business with.
And you are on point - settling with me or any other player (except one, which from day 1 they settled, lowest amount in case) would mean that they've made mistake, but unfortunately that's going to cost them 10x more. I have no intention of backing off, legally and publicly. It appears that Bloomberg is also investigating Curacao gambling and thanks to SBGOK, our story will (probably) be published there as well.
I will be creating a flag after I have posted my next thread about bc.game. I will include this case in the thread though I can't support this right away as there is the he said she said about the multiple accounts. Otherwise, it seems like a very valid and shocking (to some) case (that they declared bankruptcy to avoid paying settlements/court). There have been many threads posted against them now and what is abundantly clear is that they are closing/locking accounts and only resolving issues for those who have the capacity to come and post on bitcointalk/pursue on review services.
So, I'm not the only one.
They did not declared bankruptcy, court did, but they "surrendered" license (even though they knew it's going to be revoked by GCB) and moved to Anjouan, leaving others like me stranded.
No, you're not. There have been tens, maybe hundreds of cases against bc.game. A lot of them are newbies who had never joined the forum, and had created a thread which was resolved by their PR representative. BC.game resolve any thread posted here as resolving scam accusations make it look like they're legitimate, when the reality is that they only help those who speak up on the forum, while many others who aren't aware of the forum, can't complete kyc, have language barriers and so on, can't speak up.
Though look around. BC.game sponsor just about every member on this forum, whether it be through signature campaign advertisements or sponsored threads...it is clear that they're recycling the wealth they're accumulating from both their casino business and from scamming into advertising on and off of the forum. So, it's very difficult to have a real and objective discussion about them and their practices without the mouths that feed them to, for example, leave a negative trust on your profile calling you a charlatan (which is what has happened to me).
And if you just look at most recent cases against BC.game here on forum and in Casino Guru, their representatives don't engage at all, and most of complaints end up "resolved" based on the words said by BC.game to CG or third party trying to mediate (holydarkness), so at the end newbies like me don't stand a chance of getting resolution, because their "representative" is word from God.
Why would (for example) Casino guru care about player while they're raking affiliate money from BC game? It is in their interest to keep BCG's trust high enough for people to sign up. Although AskGamblers is BCG affiliate as well, it seems they're trying to do a bit more in regards to transparency. rating them 2.3, but I'm afraid that majority of complaints end up in trash bin because at the end of the day, BC game is trusted platform and players are "guilty until proven otherwise" by default. None of those platforms even question their shady tactics, because players like me mostly end up accepting the fact they were scammed and do nothing to inform others. After all, it's our words against "reputable" platform.
I don't blame other victims, but on the other hand I personally won't stop fighting for what's rightfully mine, even if it includes decade-long fight. And I won't stop until I receive what's rightfully mine. My legal actions forced them out of Curacao and United Kingdom, and this is just a start. I can safely say that United States is going to be their next, and by far the biggest doom, as they thought that they can get away with advertising in US market but blocking US traffic is enough. And of course, Belize and Cyprus will be next two court proceedings against them. Anjouan licensing might lack of regulations, but that license has been assigned to entity outside of Anjouan, and I'm coming for it.
Sorry for way too much off-topic, anger in me just raises to the surface whenever I see scammers, and by far BCG is one of the biggest out there...
I'm of them being favored. They'd have a lot of resources to protect their image with platforms and people. There's not a lot of hope in their operation genuinely being exposed and scrutinized as anything that makes it to the public surface mostly gets resolved.
I made a small amount of effort to test the water as to whether the community cared about this parasite entity. The community doesn't. They care more about getting paid. When the discussion arises about the clearly corrupt way of operating it is countered unreasonably to the point where third party readers are scared to reply (and in worse cases like mine, left negative trust and called a charlatan), or end up being ignored.
While you shouldn't stop to fight for what is yours, don't let it take away from your life, and remember that corruption in the world runs much deeper than bc.game. While they are a large point of corruption in general, it goes further (who provides their license, who lets them keep it, why the gambling regulator doesn't take a lot of action, are all valid questions about corruption that is bigger than bc.game).
Unfortunately, my life and this case is somewhat related, so backing off is not an option right now. As for the second part, you're right. And although my target is getting my legitimate winnings, I'm also being contacted through SBGOK (which is non-profit helping players) from various regulatory bodies to explain my case, and people helping my case giving them deeper insights on how these predators operate. There are some success stories, some failures, but mostly it ends up countries closing doors for Curacao, and pretty soon Anjouan licensing.
For example, BCgame claimed that they were never aware of $5m fines in Spain or 400k e (or similar) in Netherlands, while both regulators shown clear proofs that they have tried to get in touch with BCgame to stop serving those markets and notified them about the fines imposed. Some of this is public, some is based on the testimony from BCgame bankruptcy hearing, but all in all, it proves a point.
People might not like me for coming out to speak for myself and many others who decided to give up, or even discredit me with my awful history, but so far all the facts provided and some of speculations point to the same direction - BCgame is not the entity to have faith in, no matter who's advertising them.
