The reason why we are being so much more vocal about Peeps Place recently is because he crossed the line.

Please allow me to explain.

We already revealed a couple of months ago that Peeps is getting paid by his top rated Bitcoin Sportsbooks to promote them in forums.

That's not new. After revealing that, we let it go and kept silent.

A couple of weeks ago Peeps Place placed a bet on our website and lost.

After losing the bet, Peeps blackmailed us and demanded that we refund his losing bet or else he will publish negative information on DirectBet publicly.

His reasoning for demanding us to refund his losing bet was that his wallet delayed the transfer of his bet by a few minutes. However, we clearly state in our rules page that if your wallet delays the transfer of your bet, the bet will be processed as soon as it is received and that's what happened with his bet. We also recommend using the Bitcoin Core client to avoid such delays.

In addition, Peeps notified us on this issue only after his bet was already determined as a loser and not right away when the bet was placed.

Since our rules are very clear and since Peeps complained only after losing the bet, we decided that the bet should stand.

Peeps then went on public to spread false information when in fact our rules were very clear. You can find more details in the archive of this thread.

Do you see the problem here ?

Peeps is using the "Power" of his rating guide to blackmail books to refund his losing bets or else get bad publicity following by a reduced rating.

That's when we decided that we will not let it go this time until this scam thread is closed.

This is not a true ratings guide, it's a disguised paid advertisement.
