Please give me the link when they have replied that I can still send video? sorry but cannot find... they do not answer to my mails for months!! never contacted me since then. I also really cannot find the address which they want me to prove source of the funds, this is unreal for me waiting for a link, thank you.
EDIT: Their last reply to my email from september:
"Please send us the requested video within the next 24 hours. You can do this with any smartphone. Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email."

Also:
"Please stop contacting this support desk. Any further email by you will be considered abuse and we will deduct 5mBTC from your account for that. Please send your documents to fairlay@protonmail.com. This is not negotiable.

betg - your problem is that you've been untruthful so people question everything you post.

Coinbase and every other exchange has the same rules as Fairlay. If Coinbase says that think you are involved in something illegal and wants a video, you would just say, "no" and ask for your money back.

Coinbase would then pay you the $9-10k and close your account. Fairlay should do the same.

[raiders72001]

This is what Coinbase sends out to close accounts.

Hello,Thank you for your interest in Coinbase. Our primary goal is to make bitcoin safe and secure for our customers. Coinbase is a regulated Money Services Business under FinCEN (FinCEN.gov), and as part of achieving this goal, we are legally obligated to implement regulatory compliance mechanisms.
We regret to inform you that we are no longer able to support your Coinbase account. Please note that we have not blocked access to the bitcoin balance currently in your Coinbase account; while we can no longer process bitcoin brokerage orders via our banking relationship, you may still send your bitcoin balance offsite to an external bitcoin address.

Respectfully,
Coinbase Customer Support

Coinbase refers to FinCEN

FinCEN is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Director of FinCEN is appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and reports to the Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. FinCEN’s mission is to safeguard the financial system from illicit use and combat money laundering and promote national security through the collection, analysis, and dissemination of financial intelligence and strategic use of financial authorities.

Here's an email that I sent to Coinbase. This is prior to the closing of BTC-e.

I'm thinking of trading bitcoins at exchanges such as BTC-e. If I make a lot of deposits and withdrawals with Coinbase will that close my account? If I sell $10k worth of bitcoins at one time, is that OK?

This was their reply

Thanks for reaching out. After examining the issue I forwarded your case to our subject matter experts who can help. They will get back to you shortly. Thank you for your patience while they take a look. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

They didn't reply back after that. My account remained opened for a long while. Later they closed my account and allowed me to withdraw funds.

Would you please post the message that explains what they want you to do in this video and exactly what they ask you to supply regarding source of funds?

[littlekona]

Here are some BETG post on the fairlay Forum notice fairlay states they will process withdrawal after video is sent

betg: Hello, after few month fight to get my withdrawal without verify I have finally decided to send documents which they have asked for (ID+utility bill) and this was MISTAKE!
After they got it I got reply: "thank you. Please send us a very short video where you hold your ID document and a hand-written note that says "For verification of Fairlay account *username here*". Please send us this video within the next 24 hours, so we will be able to process your withdrawal.
Best,
Team Fairlay"
Now I am really p***d !! they are complicating it as much as they can!! the next step propably will be flight to the company and make cinema movie with them. !! WARNING THIS SITE DO NOT PAY !!
Please someone tell me which licensor should I contact (asked them also but don't know if I will get reply) because their site is now so unreadable... Thank you in advance.

[Bsims]

I don't know betg and don't care to. Based on his case and other user bitching, I wouldn't touch this book with a 10 foot pole. People seem to like "quick withdrawals". If you manage your money well, this shouldn't be that important.

[betg]

littlekona pasted e-mail about video verification and here are mails about funds:
1st mail:
"We are hereby issuing a lifetime ban to you and anyone related to you. You are not allowed to use Fairlay ever again. We will delay you withdrawal by 12 months unless you can prove that your funds deposited do not come from any criminal activity. "
Second:
"We do require a detailed signed document documenting the source of the funds you deposited to Fairlay.
We also like to ask you to send in a passport / ID and a proof of residency within the next 48 hours to fairlay@protonmail.com.

Best,
Team Fairlay"

pinny odds too so for US thats huge +++++ and why many use

[trytrytry]

So will Fairlay do a video full face and full IDs of owners to the world. considering they are running a highly illegal (as judged by many countries and governments). Yea didn't think so.

pay the balance of these funds fairlay or go bust.

these books stealing from players who post up and funds happily taken and then free roll and steal funds is sick,

thank goodness for forums like this one to put the right pressure on books to pay.

is the specific player or user of fairlay a creepy dude doing some serious creepy things in his life, in some way. who the hell cares. send him his funds

[franklissa]

Everything I have seen from fairlay has been positive and using them last 4 days I am very impressed with this book. Every book should have instant bitcoin payouts. And yes it is a problem that some of these books hold your money and have the stupid excuse that it is a processing delay. Sportsbook.com is notorius for that. Every book should copy what nitro and fairlay is doing. You as a player should have the right to take your money out when you please. It's like you placing a wager in at the MGM Grand casino or any casino in vegas and they come back and say you can only cash your ticket from Monday thru Friday before 3pm. It's BS IMO.

BetG.

Please write them a short statement saying how you came about the money you have been depositing, and sign it, scan it and send it. Just a letter, nothing about 1000 bitcoin accounts or proof. Just give them a signed statement. If you have been telling us the truth here that should be very easy and not intrusive for you.

And a selfie like they describe is not unreasonable. If you dont want to do it with video just send them a photo holding your ID.


Dont ask them any more questions about it. Just send that. That is reasonable.

If they don't then pay you immediately afterward, we can deal with it then.

[TheMoneyShot]

I cannot send them video anymore as the time for it passed 24hours after I have sent them ID and they requested for it within 24h and I denied because of no camera... they started their poema that I am criminal and when I will send video I am not criminal? what is this guys???? will I get paid then? of course not! like they promised to pay after I send kyc and they didn't pay... they also want me to prove "source of the funds" depositted to the 1 of my 1000 bitcoin addresses which I couldn't iven find in my history!! this is UNREAL TO DO and they know that.
On the other side: They have no license so I cannot fight for the money with any licensor which should be easy to win... eventually I can report the site that they accept deposits and bets(no matter if they pay) but they are unlicensed and try to get deposit back in this way? what do You think? any possibility?

I'm not getting on your case man.... it's your life and you can live it the way you want...

But according to Fairlay's forum.... the post claims... "You deposited and cashed out around 50 times without making one attempt at any wager."

WTF is that all about?

[betg]

@optional I have money from gambling online and I have sent them this information by email so if I write this on paper what will it change? this is so frustrating, I can try but they do not answer to my mails so this not gonna change anything. They have this case "closed" for a long time as they say(linking to bitcoinforum if this is against t&c please delete the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2383672.0 ) that's why I am here and waiting for their reply here or on any other forum but they don't care...
@themoneyshot - don't need to clear my betting patterns, been playing with them long time before (100K+$ in betting i'm sure) so it's not just fun account for depositting/withdrawing anyway if You deposit then decide to not play and withdraw then they will hold the funds and say - why are you doing this, make video, proove the source of funds and other bs's... or we take your money, which moves are worse? The easiest way should be to let me play X-times before withdraw isn't it as easy as that?

[evo34]

@betg So are you denying or confirming that you made ~50 deposits/withdrawals between bets?

[betg]

Denying, just checked my last activity: after my last cleared bet "only" 6 total deposits with the one not paid.

[mrpapageorgio]

if I write this on paper what will it change?

Simple, it changes the fact SBR will be more willing to help you out than if you don't. You came to this forum because you wanted SBR (and those on the forum) to give sympathy and help with your case. Optional is basically saying if you want SBR to intervene and help you with your case then do what he asks and send Fairlay a scanned copy of a signed statement (per how Optional said what to include in the statement) along with a selfie holding your ID. Then if they don't respond, SBR can then go to Fairlay and argue that what you did is a reasonable response to a KYC request and they should release your funds. If you don't want to do what he's asking then don't expect SBR to help you any further.

Basically, put up or shut up.

P.S. Personal commentary: if you're worried about retaliation from Fairlay for sending another email, I suggest including in your email to them with the scanned letter and selfie a statement that you're doing this per the request of SBR personnel, then they have little reason to retaliate. Also, since they likely know about this site, they will probably inclined to respond if they know SBR will be contacting them next if they don't respond.

[littlekona]

Denying, just checked my last activity: after my last cleared bet "only" 6 total deposits with the one not paid.

So you just know checked? WTF.. LOL problem is you lied to many times here is just one quote from post from u the only thing we do no as fact is that FAIRLAY was working fine for you up until the mixer scheme and you where moving ALOT of BTC around daily without wagering..

betg: "so last 10-20 withdrawals I have deposited and cashed out without play... before I was betting without surebets and it worked without problems... I have sent them KYC after few months of denying it but finally I have made this step but unfortunately they said that "it's too late, then that my docs are fake, they wanted movie with me holding pictures which was another excuse and just "too much for me" "

That is a very reasonable request BETG esp with all your red flags, Mixing, delays and possible sending fake ID...So this is what I would do...Send them the damn video! if you are legit get paid!

[raiders72001]

betg most likely sent false or doctored ID. If he sends a video, Fairlay is just getting more excuses not to pay. Fairlay is not going to pay no matter what betg does.

betg did not bonus abuse or circumvent betting limits. He should shouldn't have to show any ID. Fairlay is using a smear campaign in order to keep betg's deposits.

The same way that Coinbase deals with it. They pay you.

The only time there is a problem is with bonus abuse, circumventing limits and fixed matches.

Coinbase can’t be compared or put in same category as offshores...what would a other offshore book do if someone sent fake docs and was accused of being a fraudulent?

Every other pure bitcoin book that I play at would pay because they don't ask for ID.

Why does Fairlay ask for ID when other bitcoin books don't? My answer is to confiscate $9-10k.

I just don't understand why a spokesperson for Fairlay would lie on a forum? He claims you deposited/cashed out 50 times without making 1 wager.

Regardless, I do agree with Raiders... I don't believe Fairlay should have any right to hang onto your money... but furthermore... why did you delay or not agree with what Fairlay requested out of you? I'm not going to reread this entire thread... but I remember someone posting something about a delay? You delayed in sending ID? or something?

You must have money coming out of your ears to not worry about getting these funds back? Because... if I received an email that questioned my integrity... I'd definitely give them what they wanted... and if they still didn't give me my funds... what other choice do I have??? I'd have SBR step in... and help me out... if they could?

SBR helped me get 18k from a book before back in 2004. So if they helped me out... I know they'd help you out.

Quick google search of btc books terms show many can ask...here is first one on your top 3 list I googled terms see...

Their lines are similar to Pinnacle Sports, with high limits and anonymous wagering. “In four years of operating,” says BitcoinRush in one post, “we’ve never ID’d anyone.”

But it is in the terms of btc books you play at that they can...they won’t for players like us because we are legit but if Betg is fraudulent there they would and same situation would occur...this is 1st and only time fairlay has asked for id and Betg delayed 2 months then sent fake docs and then says no camera for video they requested...he bought this outcome

littlekona - what Fairlay did doesn't occur at other bitcoin books. Fairlay is very small compared to a site such as Nitrogen. A lot more scammers have run through Nitrogen than Fairlay.

Do you think there's a possibility that Fairlay decided to just stiff betg?

It's a pretty low-key smear campaign, since they have not said a word about this in months... I'd argue the reverse is true.

Then why are not trying to confiscate other users' funds? Not a very successfull scam they are operating if they've only swiped one user's funds in four years.

[raiders72001]

I've never stated that Fairlay plans to walk away with all player's funds. What they have done is confiscated money from an easy target.
