Betcoin & Playbetr are scam sites.

A user on bitcointalk claims to have been scammed out of 0.85 BTC, which is currently worth almost $20,000, by the websites Playbetr and Betcoin. The user had been betting on sports, primarily NBA basketball, on both sites for about a year, depositing a total of around $7,000-8,000 in BTC. After winning some bets, the user attempted to withdraw their balances but was unable to log in to either account. The user received emails from both sites accusing them of fraudulent actions, offering to return their deposit, and terminating their account and suspending payouts.

The user provided full KYC to both sites and was fully verified, but the sites did not provide any explanation or evidence for their claims. The user has been attempting to contact the sites for over a month but has not received a response. The sites claim that the user committed fraudulent actions such as syndicate play, collusion, match fixing, and development of unfaithful winnings or advantage play, but the user denies these claims and says they only bet on NBA bets.

The user is determined to take legal action against the sites and has seen other users contact Curacao courts and lawyers. The user is willing to pay any amount of money or do anything to get this sorted out and prevent the sites from scamming innocent players.
