Explanation of the trade: I bet a total of $300 yesterday in the RuneCade Discord server. RuneCade is scamming people by abusing a new bug in the OSRS Duel Arena that I was not aware of at the time.
When you enter a stake, the following message appears: “Your opponent’s loadout does not match yours.”- Proof: Screen capture - d3dfb3c28a3e9a1635e330693a901f53 - Gyazo You can see on all previous stakes in past 7 days and more here: https://kick.com/arescade0 the same thing is happening everywhere. Most bettors did not notice this because it changes so fast.
I have been betting in this discord server for 6-7 months and this would never show here, it would show always like this: Screen capture - e1239755167c4339d026111c953ca0ae - Gyazo
I almost never watch the stream, but once I have started getting so often x6 loss x1 win x7 loss streaks I decided to check the streams and this is what I have found out.
How they scammed: Explained above
Other relevant trade screenshots: I checked past streams from the hosts, and this issue has been happening for more than seven days straight. Koaly never informed bettors about such an important bug. After I shared the bug publicly in the staking channel, he immediately posted information about it.
If he had simply posted that this bug existed earlier, I would never have placed any bets on RuneCade, because I am not comfortable betting when it says that the opponent’s loadout do not match hoster's. This means that bets can be rigged.
Koaly also claimed that he did not even know about this update at all, which reflects very poor business practice. The issue has been present for over seven days, and he should have been aware of it and should have informed bettors about such an important bug.

As I mentioned yesterday, this appears to be an in-game visual text bug affecting multiple clients, that could of appeared after a certain game update. Currently, if you accept a duel and then change the settings, you’re prompted to accept the duel again. The same message can be seen across several staking Discords, and stream clips from multiple sources show the same behavior.

As I suggested yesterday, you could try downloading RuneLite and completing a stake with me to see the issue firsthand. I’ve also included clips from other streams showing the same message for reference.

This appears to be a visual bug, shown in your proof here where it shows the "opponents" loadout with a tent whip present then right when both accept the visual glitch shows the tent whip no longer there, which proceeds to show the "Your opponent's loadout does not match yours"

It does not appear, per the evidence provided, it's anything more than a visual glitch & not an actual in-game/different loadout glitch. I'll leave this open for a couple more days & if there's additional proof you may have to support otherwise please provide this. I'd also recommend they stream the duels if you have concerns - as it appears they do so/have done so in the past.
