So, you do have purely cryptocurrency based casinos on your "whitelist?" I couldn't find one. However, it's nice to know that you endorse those cites that claim they're "provably fair" but I didn't see a single reference on your cite of you auditing any of their RNG software in order to validate that sweeping endorsement.

I haven't endorsed anyone or anything. I have expressed my personal opinion to show you that we are not anti-crypto casino which was your statement. We don't have a "whitelist". We review casinos and rate them accordingly. The really bad ones that cheat their own customers get blacklisted, like Betcoin. Personally I would not play at any casino that we have rated less than 4 out of 5, and we tell people that on our review index page. You could consider that our whitelist if you want to.

We don't audit anyone's RNG. I don't know what you're trying to prove with that statement. The uselessness of Betsoft's RNG audit is a prime example of the potential advantage provably fair games have over games that have no auditing, testing, or regulation. However, provably fair games aren't a panacea. They don't stop on operator from disappearing with everyone's money for example. How can you on the one hand lambast us for being anti-crypto casinos, then have a go at me when I say I like the idea of provably fair games? Surely you're not being disingenuous and attempting to derail and obfuscate?

We have reviewed several SoftSwiss casinos that offer Bitcoin and currency play, and all are licensed and regulated. We haven't reviewed any crypto-only casinos for no particular reason other than we have an ongoing review list that takes time to process. We have a small staff and an endless list of casinos to get through (447 reviewed vs 1133 in our database). Again, you're making assumptions and saying ignorant things based on those assumptions that are completely wrong.

But wasn't your study an in house limited scope statistical analysis that's open for interpretation?

What does that statement even mean? It is pure unmitigated FUD meant to sow doubt in the mind of anyone reading this without actually saying anything of value. How would we do a study that wasn't "in house"? What about it was "limited scope"? Everything anyone ever says is "open for interpretation". I would love to hear your interpretation of the differences between the jackpots on the same game that we noted between Bovada and Slots.lv. What reasonable explanation do you have for the fact that they were unwinnable at Bovada? How can you explain all the games drastically changing their win frequency and going weeks without being won, then suddenly all of them suddenly being won and resuming their previous frequencies in synchronicity? Do enlighten us with your reasonable and plausible "interpretation".

Ultimately we have published our findings and people can make up their own minds, agree or disagree. The important thing is that the information is out there and the public is informed. I don't care if it upsets Betsoft and Betcoin shills like yourself. At the moment all you're doing is attacking me and our study but providing no rational alternative explanation. Its a time honoured tactic of deflection used by people who have something to hide and nothing of value to say.

But as long as your relying on IGT as a reliable brand, haven't they had similar disputes?

Feel free to point out anywhere that I said any company was reliable. You can't because I didn't. I cited companies that were regarded as "major forces" within this industry, i.e. most well known and influential. I certainly don't regard many of the major industry players as reliable. My point was that these companies actually occupy the position that Betsoft are trying to paint themselves as equivalent to when it is not the case to anyone with any significant industry knowledge. I maintain that Betsoft are a third rate software supplier, predominantly used by low rent casinos.

The fact that you are able to point to a documented legal case involving IGT says a lot, both about the benefits of companies being accountable to a regulator in a properly enforced jurisdiction, and your own nature of clutching at straws that devalue your own arguments. What recourse does Jason have in his case? Which court can he go to to get justice? Who even owns and operates Betsoft and/or Betcoin? What is their company name, the name of their directors, their address of operation? For goodness sake, that is the worst argument you have presented yet.

You claim that Betsoft has a history of non-payment but I couldn't find a single case

Making a jackpot impossible to win is equivalent to non payment, wouldn't you agree? Either way, someone gets ripped off and doesn't get paid what they should. Don't be asinine.

And don't you think it's funny to place Betcoin on your blacklist for using Betsoft software when you yourself failed to blacklist the brand at the same time?

Betsoft are blacklisted. We have detailed the reasons why. As are Betcoin. What does it matter if one was placed before the other? Both are there because they deserve to be. Betsoft because of the many issues we raised and Betcoin because of their failure to pay their player, the continued use of Betsoft games even after they know one of their own customers has been cheated, and their documented history of running pirated games. I honestly don't understand what point you are trying to make on this, other than to again attack the messenger rather than the message. What is "funny" about us adding Betsoft to our blacklist a few days later than Betcoin? What exactly does that prove other than that I can be lazy and/or have many other things to do?

We are a site that reviews casinos and shares opinions. I am proud to be against software providers and casinos that rip players off. I would not have it any other way. If you think that is "bias" and that it is a bad thing then cool, I honestly think that you must be thick, but its your opinion nevertheless and you're entitled to it.

The evidence is suspicious under certain interpretation but it's not enough to ruin honest peoples careers without further evidence.

When you keep saying hyperbolic stuff like this it just looks more and more like you have significant skin in this game. Having a Betcoin logo in an effort to promote them is one thing but it appears to me that your involvement is more significant than that. I could not care less about anyone's career, and I'm not sure why you would care either unless you knew them, nor how you would know whether anyone was "honest" or not, unless you knew them. Do you think these "honest people" that you seem to know so well care about Jason or the legion of other players they cheated when they allowed games to be played with a jackpot that could not be won? You either don't know them and are lying, or you do know them and are not stating your conflict of interest. So which is it?

What more evidence do you need? If you have read and understood what has happened and are still not convinced that both Betsoft and Betcoin have serious trust issues and are better avoided, then nothing I can say or do will change your mind now. I would question your sanity and your reading comprehension though.
