bitcoinvideocasino.com stole 10BTC from me!
hudson, New Jersey
My biggest wish right now is to be able to turn back time and undo the mistake I did when joining bitcoinvideocasino.com. Let me re-phrase that, because I simply visited the site in hope of playing some online casino games, but I was instead presented with an account. How odd it is to be signed up on some website without even clicking a sign up button or agreeing to it?! As you can imagine, I thought this was just a perk of this new technology they implement where they connect all accounts. I never imagined this to be a huge, red flying flag for an online scam.
One of the first things you need to know is that this online casino uses the bitcoin as payment. I already had some 20 bitcoins in my wallet, and I have the wallet installed on my computer, like most people. I also have a really good anti-virus installed, so I wasn't very worried about bad things happening. The site says you can play for free, as a test-drive, with test credits. Those who want to earn real money, better said bitcoins, they needed to transfer any amount to the address at the bottom of the page. I did no such thing, because I wasn’t convinced.
I took the opportunity to try out the casino as it has games like Video Poker, Blackjack, the Roulette and others. I played the first evening, but I wasn’t impressed with the results. I didn’t go back to the site after that. However a few days later I noticed that I was missing 10 bitcoins from my wallet while I knew I didn’t buy or made any transfers! Furthermore I haven’t visited other online casinos either and there is no other person with access to my computer of bitcoin wallet. Looking over the records, it showed 2 transfers to some unknown addresses. One seemed familiar, and trying to find out where I saw it before reminded me of the bitcoinvideocasino.com casino. I went back to it, and to my surprize I had 10 bitcoin in my account there!! I tried several times to cash everything out, but it wouldn’t go through! When I contacted the support they told me that the site automatically does that to make thing easier. They didn’t know why cashin wouldn’t work, and that they can’t help me. Now I’m missing 10 bitcoins and I don’t know what to do anymore! Stay away if you don’t want to get scammed!
