Yeah...in the beginning the development was sketchy.  They certainly took advantage of NFT hype and got out ahead of their skies.  They have several years worth of development under their belt now and have a whole new team, including Chris Clay, former Game Director for MTG: Arena. The difference between a game like Hearthstone and a game like Gods Unchained is the NFT, true ownership of game assets secured by a blockchain. In Hearthstone, the platform controls the cards....In Gods Unchained, the user owns the cards, and they can trade them on the decentralized markets, permissionlessly.

I'm not trying to endorse Gods Unchained, it's just an example of a usecase for NFTs other than goofy ape jpegs and pfps.  It's also a good example of how the various layers of abstraction add utility to the NFTs, while maintaining the same level of security, without bloating the main blockchain. Anyway, I'm just saying....I don't think NFTs are going away --> they're just becoming more utilitarian.  It's exciting stuff.

I agree....there's several Layer 2 solutions with their own layers of tech. I can envision some crazy utility with the nonfungible assets in the near future.

I play a TCG game called "Gods Unchained" that utilizes NFTs.  The cards are NFTs on IMX using the Starkware, Starknet tech.  The game's been thru several transitions since its launch in 2018 as blockchain tech advanced, but our cards (NFTs) have managed to transition well thru the different scaling layers. I have a little experience with these things, and I'm optimistic about their future.

These are some exciting times for sure. 

How long???

No...that's not what happened.  They never answered my support tickets on the other thing and I threw that money back to them after 8 days with no response....that's still unresolved.  The hot wallet withdrawals have never been a problem as long as there's enough in the hot wallet.  The problem is with the manual withdrawals....there's nobody there to process them.  The ethereum hot wallet doesn't hold very much in it, so any type of good win, over an eth or so, goes straight to manual withdrawal which they haven't been processing for me.

The small withdrawal I made today came from the hot wallet....I've learned that it's not a good idea to bet too much because if the hot wallet gets too low, I might not get paid....I don't even know if they're there anymore because they haven't been refilling the ethereum hot wallet and they haven't been responding to me.  They might be in the hospital with covid or something; I don't know, but the ethereum hot wallet's been getting filled by depositors....not by staff....so....there's that.

I just successfully withdrew $1,800 from the hot wallet....no problem. However, it's the manual withdrawals that concern me....I'd like to play for real, but I don't know if their wallet can handle it, or not....I wish they'd say something to let us know if their manual withdrawals have been fixed yet.  Withdrawing anything over 1 eth seems to be hit or miss....

What's your definition of slow?  I pm'd them, submitted tickets, pm'd mods, posted on the forums....they never responded to me....they still haven't acknowledged me.

Let me be clear.  I'm not trying to make a scam accusation....I love the site.  I enjoy the games.  I've been playing there a long time, and I truly hope that lightlord is alright. I don't want to see them go under --> I want to see them get right.  The behavior they're exhibiting as of late is abnormal, and  it doesn't look good when their paid shills try to justify the decadent behavior as normal....It's not normal.  How could anybody feel comfortable depositing on a gambling site that doesn't honor their own withdrawal policy?  That needs to be addressed....that's all.  It was a terrible experience not receiving my withdrawals in the time range they quoted (2-18 hrs).  I was patient while they ignored me day after day, and I didn't get tilted until it became clear that they were not monitoring their site, nor were they maintaining their wallets.  I'm not asking for much - an acknowledgement, an explanation, maybe an apology and a reassurance that the problem is solved - that's all.  I want to feel comfortable playing on the site again....I miss the way it used to be.

I left the feedback because you seem to think that it's appropriate to give negative feedback to campaign members for stuff the site does....you called me out for mine, so that must mean it's agreeable to you.

And - I'm not trying to recover the money anymore.  I gave it back when it became obvious that they weren't going to pay....I just want a damn explanation as to why they didn't pay me.....They didn't pay for 8 days and it was supposed to be no more than 2 - 18 hours.  I don't give a fuck about the money anymore....They burnt me and that's all there is to it.  I just want an explanation, maybe an apology, because gambling sites that don't pay need to be checked and not defended. 

DT Members - LOL....One of those dudes got kicked off a gambling site for cheating (multiaccounting) in which I was a member of the signature campaign and decided to give the whole campaign negative trust....the other was his shill buddy.  You attacked me for that WHILE you yourself are involved in campaign facing accusations....stupid doesn't look well on you, boy.  In any case - you are an asshole on top of being stupid so good luck!  I knew this was coming because I was warned....I'm not new here.

You seen the evidence because I posted it above....

As far as starting a thread....I'm probably not going to do that right away because I posted more than enough evidence above and I really love the site so I'm still waiting for their explanation.  However, assholes like you aren't helping.  

Britney,

The hot wallet had enough in it. (see below) Plus, 2 - 18 hours is more than enough time to handle a withdrawal manually, which is what said they were doing....they said that everyday for 8 days!  The thing is - I love the site.  I've been playing there for years.  If they would have said something to me....let me know they needed more time to pay -->  I'd have been understanding because I love these guys.  They didn't say anything to me....nothing....didn't answer my tickets, my pms, my posts, other mods....etc.  When they're dealing with $1000's of dollars like this....somebody needs to be there.

You're a lying shill....I haven't even been posting on the forum for going on four years!  Furthermore, not one of my accusations, and I've made very few, have been false.  I posted the evidence above - they didn't pay?

LOL

And here it goes.  They warned me that if I said anything about what happened, the campaign spammers would attack me. You know what's funny though?  Those negatives you just posted up there are from a couple assholes who worked for rival casino who gave me negative trust for participating in the Betcoin signature campaign.  And here you are participating in campaign for a gambling site that doesn't pay it's customers.  You're ridiculous, dude.  If I were spiteful, I'd give everyone of you shills negative trust for participating in this campaign....but....I'll let the community decide after I post the scam thread....bitch.  Tell your scammy bosses to send a few more you punks.

Two months is ridiculous. For a gambling site?  It states that it would take 2-18 hours at the longest....A week felt ridiculous!  There's no legitimate reason for it....they have the money and it only takes seconds to publish an ethereum transaction.  They didn't even acknowledge me....still haven't.  Saying stuff like this just makes it worse.  I'm trying to maintain an empathetic attitude because I love my Bitvest family....but....I'm upset!

Yeah....it's never happened before, but I've never won like this before either.  Good wins are are very far and few between on bitvest, but I play the long game....I bet big and go for the long shots knowing that some day the long shots will pay.  I didn't realize that it would be so difficult to collect after a good win because I've only made withdrawals large enough for the hot wallet to handle.  <-- That's what hurts....I've been believing in the site for a long time, thinking that it would pay off when I win in the long run. And when they refused to acknowledge me after all the money I spent waiting for this day to come, it hurt something fierce.  I was betting upto $125 a drop (10x 0.005 eth) and I was deep in the hole, so when I finally hit, I was ecstatic....then they didn't pay.  Day after day they ignored my tickets, my pms, my posts - I even had other mods submit pms on my behalf.  I was patient, until I wasn't patient anymore -- what set me off was when one of the site's investors pm'd me and suggested I might get negative trusted if I posted a complaint on BitcoinTalk....I don't take to that type of stuff very well and it set me off.

Anyway, I loved the site and I've never had a problem their before....I've actually won, and withdrew, several times with the free tokens they give away.  I don't know what's going on with site behind the scenes right now, but something ain't right.  I tried contacting him every way I could imagine and even had some of the mods try contacting him on my behalf.  I tried everything.  He still hasn't reached out to me. I mean, if lightlord is having personal  problems, I could understand because I love the site....just acknowledge me.

Here's some of the PMs for the record (I have more):

Yeah - I've been playing there for 5 years....I wouldn't play any other site....that's what hurts.

I gave everything back to them and it makes me sad because I really loved the site.  It was a big part of my every day.  This sucks!

Well --> if he's going to run a gambling site and take people's deposits, then he should pay people when they win.  He should at very least respond to the tickets and give an explanation as to why he's not paying.  He didn't do any of that....I didn't receive one response.  He didn't pay me, that's wrong, and I don't care what his paid shills say.  I spent more than 60 bitcoin on his site....the least he could have done was give me an explanation as to why he wouldn't honor my eth withdrawals (several).  I give up - it's been over a week -> he's not going to pay....I'm giving back the 4 eth he owed me.  The site's no good in my book.  I wish him well and I hope he's healthy....but....I wouldn't trust this guy with money.  The site's no longer legitimate, and I would question the integrity of anybody who continues to advertise for the site in it's current state. 

Thanks.  I feel better now.  I didn't know that it was normal to wait a week or more for a manual withdrawal from this casino.  I wish I'd have known that before they told me it'd take 2-18 hours - I wouldn't have been so stressed.  They should explain that on their landing page so that we wouldn't worry when they don't pay us as fast as the other casinos pay.  Thanks for your help.

@Lightlord

Are you going to process my withdrawal?  I have reached out to you in chat, pm'd you on the site, submitted support tickets, and attempted to contact you here.  I have run out of options.  Where are you?
