In my opinion, it's very unlikely they haven't paid anyone who hasn't tried to scam them.
(in other words, anyone they have denied payment likely doesn't deserve to be paid)
I don't think they intend to scam anyone.
HOWEVER,
They are operating an exploitable site and playing the role of judge jury and executioner.
You may not have been scammed yet, you may not be scammed tomorrow. But eventually, they will either go broke from being scammed or confiscate the funds of an innocent player. It's inevitable
A flawed system run by people that reserve the right to only pay who they want will only end badly.
Every anonymous online bookie is the exact same - they reserve the right to only pay if they feel like it (regardless of past history, or what their T&C say).
re the point of it being inevitable something goes wrong, that is massively offset by not actually having to leave my money on account there. They can't lose customer held balances, since there aren't any.
Their system might be flawed but its only me that controls my ETH so there is never going to be a suspicion of double spends on my transactions. That guy going on about exchanging 5 figures of cash at a party, the sender being unavailable to answer questions, then pretending he was in a different country etc etc, was absolute horse shit. The only crazy thing there was Direct Bet actually refunded him, I'd have kept it his cash to offset the next successful double spend (either by him or anyone else). Again if you're not going to try and defraud them I don't see any issues with playing there. They are honest, and the claims their odds aren't competitive is simply not true as far as I am concerned (soccer bettor)
What's stopping this guy, or anyone, from literally just buying a new laptop, using a new connection with clean btc and committing double spend after double spend against them?
How about releasing a tutorial on how to freeroll directbet?
Nothing.
DirectBet needs to fix this before innocent players end up paying for their exploitable system.
