Gamblers, be careful with Coinbase!

[masnad]

Yeah recently a friend of mine was blocked from coinbase basically because he used the wallet for gambling

[BitcoinHunt3r]

since i know coinbase doesn't support gambling site i never use their service again because sometime when i bored and want to get some fun, i do gambling

[pooya87]

you should never use these third party online bitcoin wallets at all, there are a lot of easy to use bitcoin wallets that don't require you to accept any kind of stupid TermsOfServices in order to use your own money (bitcoin). just use coinbase to buy then transfer the coins to another wallet of yours like (core, electrum, or even blockchain.info)

[ranochigo]

I do not know that; somebody inform me? How coinbase can find which address is a gambling site adress?

Gambling sites usually have a cold wallet and a hot wallet. When a user deposits into their assigned address, the coin is sent to either the cold or the hot wallet. Coinbase can know this by analyzing where the coins are sent to.

This can be migrated if the gambling site skips this step. Moneypot used to have this feature which they do not link the address to the cold wallet or hotwallet.

we all know coinbase is bad for gambler but he have a lot of good thinks so if you want to gamble just use XAPO it will be beter for gambling.
so if you want to gamble and you are using coinbase just transfer your bitcoin to Xapo and have fun gambling.

yes Coinbase prohibits the use of it. I do not understand what Coinbase want. but there are many other sites that support gambling. I hope someday all such sites Coinbase will provide transparent services.

I normally use coinbase as my main wallet and a like gambling so much. I normally carry out about 5 transactions on average everyday and most of them are gambling-related. I think i should start looking for another wallet which offers similar services like coinbase

I think xapo would be the best alternative to coinbase, as far as i know they yet don't have any problem with gambling transactions.

That is an extremely bad idea. Xapo, unlike Coinbase is a shared wallet. They pool the funds into the hot wallet and sends the transaction initiated by the user from a different address. Due to this, for on-chain gambling where they send winnings to the origin address, the account would not be credited for it.

It also doesn't prevent them from changing their TOS and reject gamblers.

[Gogo ppp]

I recommend blockchain.info for a wallet.

Stupid coinbase, i don't see any exact rule on coinbase about don't gambling using their wallet. They just banned someone after they find out they are gambler

[gtglener]

Yes, the gamblers now have to leave coinbase for their payment to gambling sites and they have to join some other wallet for to pay at there.
There is 100% chances for their account to block, thanks OP for informing all others.

Good Job.

We can't say that coinbase is stupid just because they banned some account for a reason of gambling. Maybe coinbase don't want to get into trouble too because off tolerating gambling so maybe they just have a very strict rules. Well you can just choose not to use coinbase if you don't like it.

Yeah they are not accepting bitcoins from any gambling site theres a chance that your account will be lock..
But honestly i use coinbase in gambling but i am using bitmixer to receive and send bitcoin to gambling or coinbase.

What if I receive a coin from someone that uses a gambling site and I then transfer it to coinbase?to me, it seems that they are reviewing the history of that coin and if it has been at a known gambling site, they jump to action. I'd like to know how they are figuring it out. I mean, if all coins are considered tainted once they hit a gambling site, then that could cause a lot of issues..and I think this indeed is already listed in rule coinbase, that the funding from the gambling sites are not favored by coinbase.

I don't think they would flag that. I think they only flag you if its sent directly from the gambling site to your coinbase account address.

whether xapo also does not support gambling sites? if so maybe I'll just use blockchain or directbet casino wallet

[masnad]

I have just seen another case where a user was wrecked by coinbase, so be very safe !

There were instances where someone used a wallet in between the transactions but they still found out and closed their accounts, so if you must use coinbase and gamble then have a mixer in between.
