Fraudulent Bitcoin transaction occured on my account

[Triumph]

My DSI account was robbed by someone who used Bitcoin, not sure how, but DSI CS says the money was gone instantly. Does Bitcoin hold the money for a period of time ? It happened yesterday,

[Triumph]

Can a bitcoin transaction be frozen or placed on hold if it's a fraud?

no. it's a wild west when it comes to bitcoin and fraud

[themike78]

So somebody had to know your dsi account info to go into your account and request a bitcoin withdraw? Is that what happened? It should be dsi fault for letting someone other than you withdraw the money.

That is what I thought too, but the people in CS said it is my fault my account got hacked , they don't believe in fraud or identity theft

[Triumph]

All I wanted is for them to freeze the Bitcoin thief's transaction. Donate it to a charity, that would be fine.

[Dagg]

Once its sent its gone.

How long passed between logins to dsi? They deduct withdrawal amount immediately and send it several hours later or next day. You should have had a chance to notice

I checked the Steelers line in the morning at 6:30, my balance was there $495, then I went to make a wager at 4:30 and there was a balance of $5.

Are you saying that someone hacked into your DSI account, asked DSI for a bitcoin withdrawal and DSI sent bitcoins to that person?

That is exactly what happened.

[Triumph]

They say its my fault and won't give me a clue as to who the fuukin coward thief is, not even an IP address.

Ask for the txid. They have to give that to you. Post it here.

I will thanks, what exactly does txid stand for?

[raiders72001]

I will thanks, what exactly does txid stand for?

Transaction identifier. It will show amount sent, time sent, receiver's bitcoin address and sender's bitcoin address.

[raiders72001]

A lot of the bitcoin books give you the option of using 2FA (two factor authentication). Besides a password, you have to enter a code given to you by your choice of text, email or google authenticator. This is needed for all withdrawals if you choose 2FA.

Yes I will definitely ask for that tomorrow, thanks

Books are very wary of clams about hacked/unauthorized bitcoin withdrawals.

They have always had to deal with players getting drunk and forgetting or going on tilt and losing all in the casino and then claiming it wasn't them.

But now with bitcoin many of the scammers who thought it was a good idea before think it's an even better idea now as BTC withdraws allow them to get paid without account tracking.

Makes for a very tough argument with books over these cases.

This is a shame that a top rated bookie like betdsi is not taking your complaint seriously

[Kindred]

no. it's a wild west when it comes to bitcoin and fraud

No Bitcoin is the same as cash, if someone steals your cash you can't ask the cash police to reverse the transaction

Could be an inside job by a past or present employee.... every live chat you have to confirm your password... easy pickings for a scamming mind

Thats the likeliest suspect imo

[Triumph]

Thanks for your interest players, I have called DSI and asked for a copy of TXid,
still waiting for response.

Good point, I shocked at how quick the blame was placed on me and how quickly the case was closed by their so called security dept.

Yeah.. definitely file a complaint... i guess this could happen to someone with a very large balance

I dont currently have anything there now but prolly will at some point... I will be changing my password now more frequently there so thanks for posting

So what good are all these KYC forms and hoops you have to jump through that books make you complete? The fact they can't give you a hint of how it was taken baffles me.

[PassTheDutchie]

On a positive note, that's a quick pay out.
Cant be that bad of a book.

No need to quote me out of context.
Cash transactions done on-line can be reversed, frozen or traced.

Is there a Bitcoin fraud hotline? Help me stop this scum before he robs someon else.

[thespeculator]

feel your pain , had my wallet hacked . Nothing can be done, once it is gone that's it. Just keep your account secure as possible

Not sure how I quoted you out of context, didn't mean to come off sarcastic towards you.

Online cash transactions aren't really cash transactions, they involved a third party. I was only being sarcastic because there is a major lack of understanding of what Bitcoin is here in the mainstream online gambling community. I should just take time to explain better, but my time isn't unlimited and there is always google. Again none of this directed at you.
Bitcoin is cash, there is no Bitcoin company that can reverse a transaction. You need to gaurd you Bitcoin like you would cash in your wallet. The same laws that protect the cash in your wallet protect you with Bitcoin, it's not the wild west with no laws. But if you lose your Bitcoin the police need to track down the thief. Your chances at recovery are the same as if you lost your cash to a pick pocket. And while it might seem scary you can't reverse a transaction like you could with a cc, you get the benefit of transacting the same as you would with cash in person but over the internet. Freedom isn't always free, so while you need to be more careful with Bitcoin than a cc number, you actually own the Bitcoin and are free to transact with whomever you want regardless of your jurisdiction or what some politician thinks you should or shouldn't be able to do with your own money.

To the original poster, are you sure nobody had access to your computer that might be responsible for accessing your DSI account?

You guys with a decent amount of coin should look into Bitcoin Armory. If you have an old computer laying around you keep your private keys (think password) on that without ever connecting to the internet. You run Armory on your regular pc and use a flash thumb drive to sign the transaction on the "air gapped" SAFE netbook with no access to the internet or hackers, and then send the Bitcon from the online computer. There are also a lot of new hardware wallets, you plug them into a USB port on your pc and even if your pc is infected with a virus or you share the pc with other people the private keys (password) is protected on the hardware wallet and you can send the Bitcoins through the USB. I use Armory just cause I had an old netbook around and it's free, but the hardware ones seem like a good choice too. Blockchain.info is good too just make sure to use 2FA so if your Blockchain.info password is stolen they still need your phone to access your Blockchain.info wallet.

Conventional books should be sending out an email confirming that a bitcoin withdrawal has been asked for. Conventional books don't allow for 2FA.

Bitcoin books have algorithms that red flag accounts if it seems that the withdrawal is fishy. Conventional books should take more precautions until they perfect bitcoin transactions.

People are trying to hack into sportsbook accounts all time. Use at least one lower case, one upper case and one number for a password.
