Word of warning.

Not sure exactly what section to write this in, and also before I begin my post I just want to mention, I'm not bashing on the FC, nor am I accusing the whole FC in fraudulent activity so please don't hate me on this post, I'm merely putting here as a record of my own experience and because I don't want people getting scammed if what I say in this may or may not be true.

Now, I've used the FC for a good few months and in my honest opinion I believe it to be a very good way to make some decent money on RuneScape if you're willing to take the risk. I've made billions in some occasions, and also lost billions in others pretty typical for most gambling in general.

Though lately I've been seeing a number of occassions where I go to join the FC to find it relatively dead with ranked stakers spamming everyone to join the FC official "Discord" and stake in there because the FC is supposedly "closed".

Now, I typically now how the "closing" thing works. They run multiple FC's as far as I'm aware of and usually close the FC completely when it's closed, and only opening it back up when staking is to be commenced again. However, lately I've been seeing the FC still open, even though being told the FC is closed and told to join the Discord and stake in there with ranked stakers.

Now, when this particular scenario was happening one night I still tried finding a ranked staker in which I did find, however he told me "the FC is currently closed, though I'll still stake with you via the Discord". So I joined, and traded him and began staking. Now to my knowledge I've always been used to the stakers confirming the bets via the FC chatbox for all, or at least I would've thought it would've been done via the official Discord with other members. But no. I traded him 300M for a bet, and he confirmed it via PM with me. I asked him to cofirm via chat, and he responded with "I'm looking, either trade for a refund or don't bet". So I allowed him to go through and find a bet, in which he did, and I immediately lost, again confirming this via PM instead of chat.

So, I'm not bashing that I lost the 300M bet, but it did click with me the next day later how sketchy that was, and how well he could've been scamming me out of my money. I'm NOT saying that he was, but it could've been happening. I wasn't the only person he was staking with, and after I left I have no doubt he would've gotten more trades sent his way. There was no official record in the Discord, nor the FC chat that I had traded him 300M and that he was participating in commissioning a stake for me. So for all I, and others could've known he could've easily been alt staking and keeping the profits illegally. Either way, he either wins on his alt and wins my money, or loses and still keeps some cash for himself and I would've continued staking, eventually losing.

Now, again. I'm not saying this is what was happening, but it could've easily been happening. There was no admins or anyone else on apart from 2 other stakers so yeah.

I joined tonight as well, again was told the same thing from a different staker, and he was told by numerous people wanting to bet that they didn't want to use the discord/third party program to bet on a few stakes. After I proceeded to call him out on sketchy behaviour he immediately left the FC.

Now why would someone who writes "I'll host, join the Discord" leave the FC right away coincidentally right after I call him on sketchy behaviour happening within using the discord when the FC is supposedly in "closing times right now"?


Again, for the last time, I don't know if there's shady shit happening in Elite Rank's FC's when admins and staff are on, but to me there seems to be sketchy behaviour coming from not just one ranked stakers, and it all seems to happen in "closing times" or when the FC is almost dead with no staff on.

I know poly stakers get sold on here like it's nothing, it's not hard for a decently rich ranked host to buy a few and alt on them from time to time stealing peoples money without them knowing, and without official records being shown in chats to properly confirm bets.


Just writing this to warn people if they choose to use the FC's. I've won heaps from them, and do believe the FC is there for good reasons and intentions, just seems either I'm looking into this too much, or the staff have corrupt hosts in there.

Please use at your own risk.

 

This could all be avoided by watching the stream, if you bet ask the person you bet on for their stream beforehand, they will always stream so you know if they are telling the truth or not.

I dont believe this is worthy of a warning, streams are there for this very scenario. ranks will not risk losing bills they paid to gain 300m.

 

also no need to call it only the FC all our customers are betting via site where they can track their bets,host streaks,recordings&livestreams and of course total of how much they bet since most compete for top prizes discord is just there to let community hangout.

Closing this. If you've been scammed, make a scam report. If you weren't, then there's no need to warn others for possible scams incoming aswell. Besides that, this is the wrong section.
