DJ Esports Accused Of Scamming Users Out Of Money

A YouTuber who goes by the name of Fragger, claims that DJ Esports is a complete sham that scammed him out of $74,576 and his friends out of a large sum that combined, rounds out to more than $406,780. In his video, Fragger went into detail about the site and says that these problems only affect people who win on the website. Casual bettors, he says, likely won’t even notice there’s anything shady going on.

Fragger received, and showed, an email that says his account was “exploiting Tier 2 & 3 matches to turn a profit.” Fragger claims this only means he was “betting” on these matches and did not bet on any matches that were rigged or fixed. He was just heavily betting on Tier 2 and 3 matches. According to the email, taking your winnings and betting on Tier 1 matches is not allowed under their guidelines, resulting in a ban. Fragger alleges this was not in the TOS he looked at when going to sign up originally, and the “guidelines” were only a day old. The key in this email is that he is being welcomed to make a new account, and “rebuild a Tier 1 portfolio with our new guidelines.” After Fragger and his friends started making money, the guidelines were changed, and they were punished.

Fragger also showed his conversations with the Compliance Manager and more, showing that he received nothing but blanket statements, and ultimately will not get the money he was supposed to have won. He received a fifth of it at best. In his messages, he also states he has full screenshots of the TOS, showing that he has been done wrong by DJ Esports. The long and short of it is that he (and others) will not get paid what they are owed, because the rules were changed on them.

Fragger continued to show conversation logs from moderators and users of DJ Esports, who have said that the CEO makes all the decisions and that he doesn’t want to payout. Unfortunately, since the betting is done with cryptocurrencies there’s no real moderation. Then, people that get banned and lose out on money can’t really do much about it. Instead of letting users start betting on Tier 1, they instead get banned, get their ability to bet reduced, and then ultimately banned again. Quite a few other people, according to Fragger say they were scammed, and aren’t going to get a payout from DJ Esports either.
