Re: Stake holding my balance $70,000 claiming ODDS PROVIDER INVESTIGATION
by

Isn't 6 months enough for an investigation to commence?
Apparently not. But that's not surprising: match fixing is a crime, which means there's a criminal investigation, which means the government is involved. Or multiple governments. I can imagine this isn't a high priority to them, and from what I've seen in the news about (different) crimes, it can easily take a few years to bring the bad guys to justice.

Whatever job you do, would you justify your employer holding your money for 1 year because they "suspect" some match fixing? If they have any reasons to believe the game was rigged they should post the proof and if not then allow me to withdraw.

It's easy to come and look like a saint when others are struggling to get money from a giant casino scamming them but when it will happen with you, maybe you realize how it feels for others to come and say "yeah it's fine, investigations can take decades and casino will pass the funds to your grandchildren, why are you troubling them"

Would you be fine with Chipmixer not paying you for 1 year claiming they are doing some investigation with no details and no timeframe at all?

Any update so far?
I'm going through a similar issue with duelbits right now. I haven't fixed any matches or provided any kyc since ive only played for a couple of days. But they won't let me withdrawal my balance. They said it has nothing to do with the amount of money won, so I have no idea why they are holding my fund and not providing any information.

Hhampuz doesn't and shouldn't get involved in solving a case like this because if he isn't working for the casino and its security/integrity department (whatever you want to call it), he can't possible know why a player's withdrawal is delayed. But, he might be able to directly contact people in more senior positions in the casino. Like those he negotiated with when it was arranged that he would manage their campaign, or those responsible for filling the campaign wallet with coins. And that's the people who might help and provide some more clarity. 

Of course, the campaign manager doesn't need to be involved in this matter. perhaps a better reason to ask Hhampuz for help, in this case, is to ask the Casino about their inactive representative account on the forum. and there are a few problems that need to be resolved. maybe with that, the representative account can come back online and explain.
it was very likely that Hhampuz could contact them. but I'm not sure if the OP is willing to do it.

I'd like to PM him but I don't think newbies can PM

It irritates me when I see people suggest a campaign manager to contact when a scam accusation has raised for a company. Hhampuz is just the campaign manager and he has no obligation to involve in such cases.
Hhampuz doesn't and shouldn't get involved in solving a case like this because if he isn't working for the casino and its security/integrity department (whatever you want to call it), he can't possible know why a player's withdrawal is delayed.

It may look like using them as mixer although I don't know how risky those bets were. Casino's are not meant to be a mixer.
All casinos or exchanges could be considered mixers in a way. I am not going to go into the privacy aspect of that mixing though. You deposit one UTXO at an exchange, make a trade or two, and withdraw something else.

Casinos have rollover requirements. For example, If you deposit a certain amount of crypto, you need to wager them at least once and maybe respecting a minimum odds requirement before you can withdraw again. If those requirements are met, the player has fulfilled the conditions to be able to withdraw his money. If a casino doesn't like that, they should change their rules and require a 5x or 10x rollover requirement and see what that will do to their business.

I've wagered over 90k, which is around 10x more than what ive deposited

I find it a bit suspicious that you made a withdrawal after each win, and that you then made a deposit again.
Why would you find it suspicious?

Isn't it a smart practice you, I and many other members keep preaching about in regard to avoiding storing one's funds in a centralized or custodial service?
Deposit ETH withdraw USDT, deposit USDT withdraw ETH, deposit ETH withdraw USDT. The amounts were not like $100 or $200. It may look like using them as mixer although I don't know how risky those bets were. Casino's are not meant to be a mixer. Obviously all these are guess from us.

If it looks like money laundering, why would anyone mix usdt and eth? they're both my hard wallets with the same address. yes, my usdt and eth addresses are the same.

<Snip>
The issue from the person who created this thread has been resolved, so it makes no sense to continue discussing your case here.
You need to open your own complaint and explain the situation there properly, posting all the proof you have as well.

Check out the Scam Report Format because it provides good guidelines of how to do it.

They still don't have any updates.
Withdrawal still shows as "pending"
Today marks day 5!
I'm sorry to know that your legal withdrawal will eventually have to be delayed and haven't been processed until day 5. But I don't think things like this are surprising because actually some issues regarding withdrawals have been experienced by gamblers other than you even though it's not at the same casino.

I hope you can still be patient to wait for a response from the team about your problem, sometimes it takes time and a little more patience. But I also hope someone who represents their brand [the team or whoever] will come to this thread to clarify.

Apart from live chat, have you also contacted the support team such as their official account on the forum or email?


They provide their standard support email address, which they basically copy and paste their response from live chat

I created an account on Duelbits to play baccarat and little bit of bj.
Day 1: deposted $6494.04 and withdrew $9,468.50. After a break, I deposted $9,228.06 and withdrew $12,700 and $208.13

Day 2: deposited $12,690.07 and requested to withdrawal $16,654.00
Under withdrawal transaction, where it should show transaction ID, shows as "processing" for 3 days.

Live chat hasn't provided any ETA and they've been giving me vague answers while telling me to continue practicing my patience. literally.
I asked them whats causing the delay and they said their compliance team needs to check my account. So far, no updates on that.
I asked them if there were any others waiting on their withdrawals, they said no.
I offered to provide KYC info to assist and speed the process, they said they don't need at the moment.
My account isn't locked but my balance is sitting at 0.

I play with a very basic martingale strategy and play by the book. Other than playing well and quickly making these transactions, I can't imagine why any of my bets would be flagged.

Some would say that you were lucky, others that you were too lucky, and I would say that you shouldn't be surprised at all that they paused your withdrawal. I find it a bit suspicious that you made a withdrawal after each win, and that you then made a deposit again, which in combination with the fact that you made a profit of even $10k must have activated some kind of security mechanism. I guess it didn't help that your deposits and withdrawals are in different coins, which in combination with everything else doesn't look very legitimate.

I must mention that this is only my opinion, and that I have no connection with that company, nor can my opinion affect the outcome of this case.

1. I'm guessing you're not much of a gambler. You're basing your judgement of my wins with a small frame. Its irrelevant but I am still at a loss in my career. If I wanted to talk about that, that would be a separate thread, don't you think?

2. I transfer ETH and USDT because my wallet requires me to hold a small amount of eth to transfer usdt.

3. They can still provide info on what could've raised a flag or provide an eta. based on what they've told me so far, they can hold this as "processing" for eternity.

Duelbits Withdrawal Issue

Intro::
My first post here is a scam accusation against Duelbits. I don't feel great about it but I appreciate all the feedback and support from everyone here.
After reading up on similar cases here and now going on 3+ days of waiting for my withdrawal, I thought it'd be helpful to open a topic here.

What happened::
I created an account on Duelbits to play baccarat and little bit of bj.
Day 1: deposted $6494.04 and withdrew $9,468.50. After a break, I deposted $9,228.06 and withdrew $12,700 and $208.13

Day 2: deposited $12,690.07 and requested to withdrawal $16,654.00
Under withdrawal transaction, where it should show transaction ID, shows as "processing" for 3 days.

Live chat hasn't provided any ETA and they've been giving me vague answers while telling me to continue practicing my patience. literally.
I asked them whats causing the delay and they said their compliance team needs to check my account. So far, no updates on that.
I asked them if there were any others waiting on their withdrawals, they said no.

My account isn't locked but my balance is sitting at 0.

I play with a very basic martingale strategy and play by the book. Other than playing well and quickly making these transactions, I can't imagine why any of my bets would be flagged.


Amount Scammed:
$16,654
Payment Method:
ETH and USDT
Proof of Deposit and Withdrawals:


Additional Notes:
I'm just following a template here but I need to re-upload images properly.
Thanks in advance.

I'm running into the same issue at the moment with duel bits.
I played for a day and the withdrawal is still showing as "processing" after a full day.
The live support team are just giving me vague answers providing absolutely no updates nor eta.
I asked if the amount triggered the flag for withdrawal since it was over 15k. Of course they couldn't answer.
