Second, Trustpilot review can be bought or manipulated, and only review provided by platform let like Casino guru, Ask gamblers can be trusted. According to what I see they have average score which is still a good review.

Trustpilot scores can be manipulated by buying (or incentivizing) positive reviews; however, I have yet to see fake 1-star reviews. In my opinion, most, if not all, of those are genuine.

However, I strongly disagree that CasinoGuru or AskGamblers scores can be trusted either. Their reviews usually contain at least some inaccuracies, and the base score they give to newly added casinos on their site is misleadingly positive.

CasinoGuru, for example, scores newly added casinos with a 7/10 safety rating, well above average, and it takes an insane amount of complaints and time before they start to correct the score. A casino that stole thousands of dollars without ever providing a basis for it was rated "above average" for over a year, until they finally decided to lower the safety score to "low". The same happened with an actual scam casino, it had an "above average" rating for over a year, until the score was finally corrected to "very low."

AskGamblers is less likely to feature scam or dishonest casinos; however, their scores, like Trustpilot's, are much more susceptible to manipulation by fake or incentivized reviews.

Pretty sure this new casino is connected to Immerion - not the biggest name out there but still known in the gambling world. They've got the exact same layout, and the OP's username is literally their affiliate program name. So likely a casino rep, not just an affiliate.

Ybets is Inmerion rebranded. As far as I know, that was their first casino, launched before Immerion. Same team though.

I played on it back then, and it wasn’t a great experience for me. They delayed my withdrawal with a KYC, which took a month, and it only progressed after I went public with a complaint. That was years ago though, so they may have improved since.

I received – I assume – the same email as you regarding the 40% extra rakeback today. However, it seems like this promotion isn’t working. The email states, "You will receive the 40% additional rakeback through the boosted instant rakeback and the daily reward," but the instant rakeback isn’t boosted at all. For me, at gold rank, it's just the old regular 8%. Additionally, considering how there is absolutely no mention of this promotion on any of their social media, I have my doubts about receiving this extra rakeback.. I guess we'll see tomorrow.

It seems my doubts were unfounded. The daily reward was much higher than usual, most likely due to the promo.

A few minutes ago received an email about this update, but could you at least change the thread title to the new domain? So there is no confusion?

Every casino usually has mirror links --- Does this casino have mirror links?

But happy to offer Rakeback up to 40%.

As far as I know, you got a reply to your mail on your case.

Technically, you could say I received replies to my emails, but none of them actually addressed my issue. I’ve finally taken the time to make this scam accusation because it seems the forum representative here is also unable to address — let alone resolve — the matter. For anyone curious about the content of these replies, please read the full scam accusation quoted below.

Dear Bitcointalk Forum,

About two months ago, I discovered that Rakebit Casino has a presence here on Bitcointalk. I brought their forum representatives' attention to an issue I've had with the casino: they confiscated over $35,000 in winnings without proper justification and have since ignored all my follow-up communications for over five months.

The forum representative failed to address the issue in two months. The only thing they were able to say was, "As far as I know, you got a reply to your mail on your case." This is untrue — I have not received any response in over five months. Therefore, I'm opening this scam accusation to formally present my case.

At the end of 2024, I was playing regularly at Rakebit, primarily blackjack. Up until this incident, I had a very positive impression of the casino. The support was decent, my VIP manager was friendly, and I had received several withdrawals worth thousands of dollars without issue. To be fair, I was heavily in the red throughout that time. In hindsight, that may explain the good customer care I received.

Unfortunately, in the last few days of 2024, I lost over $10,000. Then, on December 29, I deposited another $10,000. Although I nearly lost that too, I had a lucky streak that brought my balance well over $40,000.

On January 1, 2025, I requested three withdrawals: one for $10,000, another for $5,000, and a third for $10,000—leaving the rest in my account. None of these were processed. The very next day, on January 2, I discovered that my account had been suspended and all funds were inaccessible.

I contacted live support, who told me they would look into the matter and update me via email. When no update came, I reached out to my VIP manager on January 3, and was told my account had been suspended for review and that I would be informed of any developments.

Still, no updates followed. On January 11, I followed up again, asking how long the review process was expected to take. I was told — yet again — that there were no updates.

Another week passed. On January 18, I asked once more, this time hoping for at least an estimated timeframe, considering that $40,000 of my money was being held with zero communication. Again, I received only vague replies.

On January 27, I made one more inquiry. The response: still no updates.

Finally, on January 30, I received an email stating that my account had been reviewed and over $30,000 in winnings were confiscated. The justification was the following vague explanation:
"After careful review, we have found some inaccurate bonus growth, flagged by the system, as potential malfunction and/or bonus abuse.
As a result, you had anomalous growth on bonus cost and level progression, which caused a compound bonus effect.
A security and gaming session check found your gaming activity to be legitimate but not your promotional activity.
"

They returned only my last $10,000 deposit and confiscated the rest. I couldn't make sense of this explanation, especially since I didn't use any bonuses other than their permanent rakeback.

I replied the same day, asking for clarification, specific justification, and references to the relevant Terms and Conditions. I also reviewed their Terms and Bonus Policy and found some concerning clauses that allow Rakebit to freeze or confiscate player funds at their discretion, without any proof. I inquired about these clauses as well and asked what prevents Rakebit from arbitrarily seizing player funds. That was over five months ago, and I have not received a response since.

I contacted my VIP manager again on February 10, and again, no reply.

As my VIP manager was clearly unresponsive, I contacted Rakebit's Support Team on February 12 . Their only response was to refer me back to the same unresponsive VIP manager, blatantly ignoring my explanation that she wasn't replying. I responded to their message, reiterating once again that my VIP manager was not responding and asking for proper assistance. In their follow-up, they still referred me back to the same VIP manager, stating that they "cannot resolve [my] case on [their] own."

Frustrated, I filed a formal complaint, as instructed by Rakebit's own Terms and Conditions, which state that complaints must be addressed or escalated. Instead, I received another copy-paste response telling me to contact my VIP manager — the same one who has been ignoring me for weeks. I replied, stating that I found their response unacceptable, and I quoted their own Terms and Conditions outlining how complaints are supposed to be handled. Despite this, I received only the same generic, copy-paste reply once more.

On February 15, I withdrew the remaining $10,000 — the only amount they allowed me to keep.

Eventually, I posted a negative Trustpilot review explaining my case. A representative replied there, asking me to contact them by email. I did — yet again — and received the same generic response, once again directing me to the same unresponsive VIP manager. No actual help was provided.

How convenient that Rakebit suddenly detected a "malfunction and/or bonus abuse" only after I hit a winning streak — but not even a day earlier, when I lost a small fortune while playing the same way. Odd, isn't it?

I believe I've done everything reasonably possible to contact them and obtain a proper justification for the confiscated funds. It seems their support team is incapable of doing anything beyond repeatedly referring me back to my VIP manager — the same VIP manager who has been unresponsive for over five months now.

At this point, I doubt this case will ever be properly addressed. However, since Rakebit has a presence on this forum, I believe it's important for the community to be aware of how they operate. As long as you're losing, everything is smooth — but the moment your luck turns, there's suddenly a "system malfunction," they confiscate all your winnings and start to ignore you indefinitely.

It was the right decision! usdt casino is always trying to be better for its users Smiley

Nearly a month has passed—have you managed to find out anything about the confiscation of my funds?

It’s rather bold for that article to claim Rakebit is the “best Tether casino for safe gaming,” considering you’ve confiscated over $30,000 in winnings from me and then ignored all of my attempts to get an explanation or resolution.


That's unfortunate. Given that your issue comes all the way from January, which makes it about 4 months. Shouldn't it be a time for you to open a scam accusation with all the information?

I mean they haven't clearly helped you after that long, it might drag on for more months without a word.

You’re absolutely right—it’s already long overdue. Honestly, I’ve been holding off in the hope that the forum rep would finally address the issue. But that hope, like the hope of getting a reply to my emails, now seems completely misplaced.

I’ve been hesitant because putting together a proper scam accusation is a huge hassle—and I also know how easily they can ignore it, just like they’ve ignored everything else so far—but I’ll likely go ahead and open one very soon.


I have notified Rakebit and they told me they would look into these "cases"

Thanks for doing that. Though the fact they refer to it as a “case” shows just how unseriously they’re taking it.. Honestly, it’s infuriating..

Hey @PaPoc. This is just a follow-up. I am trying to find out if the casino resolves some issues or not. Did you get helped with your issue by the representative?
The other user has been silent too and has not been online since April 14, 2025, so hard to tell if things worked out or not.
Please feel free to share with us here any outcome.

No, nothing has happened yet. I have not been contacted, nor have I received any information. Considering that all of my inquiries have been ignored since January, this is not exactly unexpected.

Although their forum representative only received my details a few days ago, I’ll give them a bit more time — not that I really have much choice, though.

Despite multiple emails requesting clarification, supporting evidence, and a reference to the relevant Terms and Conditions, I’ve received no meaningful response. Hopefully, you will do better here.

Hi, write your login so I can get the details!

It seems they did not pull an exit scam after all and eventually paid me. I have also updated the scam accusation and marked it as resolved.

Today, April 26, I finally received my $5,000 withdrawal from Betkin.

It took about one and a half months of waiting, multiple unanswered emails, no accessible (live) support, and having to escalate the matter publicly, but the funds have now been paid out.

While I am relieved that the payment was eventually processed, the overall experience was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I hope no other players will have to go through the same ordeal.

With this said, I will close the topic and mark it as resolved.

Thank you to everyone who followed the case. This will be my final update.

Previously you withdraw $15k and 2 days later $26k then your account will be in the internal spotlight especially if you bet on sports
If I deposit $20k, I expect a casino to be able to handle payouts of at least the same order of magnitude. Especially considering I didn’t bet on sports, but—surprise, surprise—played blackjack on a site that markets itself as a blackjack-focused casino.


I'm not saying Papoc did it but the criteria are close for example new account and having withdrawal issues on some sites at least 3 sites so far based on his post history.
I create accounts on most sites that don’t immediately come off as scams. Combine that with the fact that I play higher stakes than most, and it’s not surprising that I regularly run into payment issues with certain casinos. In my post history, I only mentioned the few casinos that I had serious problems with and that I know have an ANN thread on this forum. And those are just the top of the iceberg...

Re: Read Before You Bet — The Importance of Reading ANN Threads to Avoid Scam
by
PaPoc
on 18/04/2025, 06:07:07 UTC
Yes, people should definitely do their research before depositing money at a casino. The problem is, there’s no truly reliable review site where that research can be done. Affiliate sites like AskGamblers or Casino Guru tend to rate casinos highly based on how much those casinos pay them. It usually takes an overwhelming number of player complaints—or more likely, issues with the affiliate not getting paid—before they reduce a casino’s rating.

Trustpilot is also flooded with fake reviews. You can safely assume that any casino with a rating over 3.5 is probably bolstered by fake feedback. While a low rating is a red flag, a decent rating doesn't guarantee the site is trustworthy either.

Reading the Terms of Service doesn’t help much either, since most casinos include clauses allowing them to change the terms at any time without notice. Some actually use this to avoid paying players. Others simply ignore their own terms altogether.

Even having an active ANN thread with no player complaints is no assurance. Just look at the recent case of Betkin, which went silent a month ago with my money—essentially an exit scam.

Blackjack.fun also has a somewhat active thread, yet they’ve been holding my funds hostage for months without providing any updates. Support and staff have completely ignored all of my inquiries.

Bets.io uses excessive KYC procedures to delay payments, even for relatively small amounts like a few thousand dollars. They require ID, proof of address, source of funds, and multiple video calls—often with weeks or even a month between each step.

Rakebit will pay you out as long as you lose more than you win. But the moment you win big and try to withdraw, they’ll claim a “system malfunction,” confiscate your winnings, and start ignoring you altogether.

Even BTC Gosu, which is often referred to as one of the most trustworthy review sites, gives these casinos average ratings of 3–4 out of 5—essentially implying they’re safe to play on.

What I’m saying is: no amount of due diligence will truly protect you from scams at sites like these. The only real way for a player to reduce the risk of getting scammed is by sticking to the largest and most reputable platforms.

Another two weeks have passed, and unfortunately, nothing has changed. I still haven’t received my $5,000 withdrawal, support remains completely unreachable, and I’ve received no replies to any of my emails.

At this point, I can only assume they’re either unwilling or unable to pay, but they’ve made zero effort to communicate either way. I’ll continue to post updates if anything changes, but as of now, the situation remains unresolved.

The customer support at this casino is atrocious! I’ve been waiting on a roughly 25k withdrawal for over two and a half months, and still nothing. Support doesn’t respond to emails, and if I somehow manage to get through to live chat, they do not give any answers and just start ignoring me altogether.

It took me a month to even find someone from the team through their dead Telegram channel. That person told me there was an open case with a provider, and that was it. No follow-up, no timeline, no transparency.

In their last promo email, they included a Telegram contact for a different VIP manager, so I tried messaging him too—two weeks ago—and just like the rest of the support team, he completely ignored me.

It is insane. This kind of treatment is beyond unprofessional.

Little update regarding my scam accusation:

Two days after I published my scam accusation, the case was finally looked into by the Betkin staff. I was recredited the confiscated funds and was able to submit a new withdrawal request. However, it’s now been nearly three weeks, and I still have not received the funds. Live support is unavailable, and they haven’t responded to any of my emails either.

So, the matter is not resolved, and I’m still waiting for my money.. patiently..

It’s been two weeks since my last update, and I’m still waiting for my withdrawal to arrive.

The transaction has shown as "Sent" in my Betkin account’s Transaction History for over a week now, yet no funds have reached my wallet. Based on previous withdrawals, a successful transaction shows "Aggregator status confirmed", which this one does not.

I’ve tried to reach out to live support, but they’ve been unavailable. I also sent an email with a screenshot of the transaction status, asking for clarification and a timeline - but given that my previous two emails went unanswered, I can only hope this time they’ll actually respond.

I’ll keep this thread updated once I receive any meaningful reply or if the funds finally arrive.

I confirm that my 0.058 BTC (~$5,000) was recredited to my account, and I have now resubmitted my withdrawal request.

While I appreciate that they ultimately did the right thing, I strongly dislike the fact that it took a public scam accusation for them to properly investigate my case. This situation should have been handled through direct support and transparency, not through forum escalation.

I will post a final update and close the accusation once my withdrawal is successfully processed.
