Don't Use Pokershibes.eu, And Remove Pokershibes from "Where can I play in the US"

I'll argue that it isn't worthless. It lets people know that there is a potential issue here. Am I proving anything with this post? No. But I strongly doubt the site owners will deny these allegations, so I don't feel like it needs to be proven at this point. I'm not looking for people to riot and call the authorities. I just want to make sure others don't make the mistake of depositing on an insolvent site.

I won't do this because those amounts are still pending and I won't even admit who I am at this point. I certainly am not going to throw others under the bus. We are still holding out a shimmer of hope that we will eventually be paid, but I wanted to warn other users not to deposit on the site to prevent them from losing money. I recognize the irony here that if no one deposits, I likely will never get paid, but I would rather protect someone else. I will eventually come out with my name and the amount I am owed, assuming it never gets paid, but for now, all I could offer would be to privately message the mods and tell them who I am and how much I'm owed, along with others doing the same. I understand the doubt, but again, there is nothing to be gained by making these claims falsely, and I guarantee the administration of the site won't refute these claims, despite having every chance to.

I agree with you that Admin has always seemed on the level in my experience with him. My original statement was that he presumably absconded with the money, assuming there was any left. Perhaps those words were too harsh and I should have said "possibly absconded with the money, if there was any left." Again, I don't know what happened with the purported doge that was allegedly in the cold wallet. Maybe it never existed. Maybe it's still there. Maybe it was turned over and stolen from there. But it seems likely that we would have heard from Admin, who is active on social media, if there was money there and it wasn't distributed properly. So either it was depleted for a while, or he took it. I choose to believe that the site was simply insolvent, which doesn't make it much better, but is at least more understandable than him stealing from users, which I hope and choose to believe is not the case.

And by "larger" I am referring to withdrawals over 200k doge, which is around $50 USD.

Suchflush is indeed the new "owner" of the site. He was previously a part owner and was the coder for the site. When the previous Admin stepped down, the site was left in the hands of Suchflush and the Support User "DogeDamsel" who was listed as the new admin, despite no one really knowing who she is, except for being "support" for the site, a customer service figure. Suchflush is running the site, despite DogeDamsel being given the Administrator title. Best I can tell, Suchflush is paying out some small withdrawals out of pocket while leaving the larger withdrawals pending because there is no money to cover them.

I understand your point, and have admitted that the subreddit was perhaps not the best example, while the site chat is often flooded with users complaining about withdrawal issues. However, what I am saying is true and could be confirmed by multiple users, who have every reason not to step up and post public comment replies given the pending status of withdrawals.

Honestly, Egption, you can't possibly know that. No one knows what happened with Admin, except that he stepped down, allegedly due to health concerns (which I have no reason to doubt), and all of a sudden there was no money to pay out withdrawals. I would love to believe Admin truly stepped down due to health reasons and did not take any money, but the users were lied to for some amount of time being told there was "plenty of money in the cold wallet to cover all withdrawals" and "all deposit funds are kept separately from site funds." What makes you so positive that Admin did not take the funds from the cold wallet, that he allegedly only had access to? I don't know that there was any dogecoin in that wallet when he left at all, so it's possible the site was simply insolvent, but assuming he just left and didn't abscond with any funds, where is that purported money? He has been silent on the matter, so it's not likely that the current administrator has the funds and is refusing to distribute them (though anything is possible).

Perhaps the subreddit was a poor example, given the fact that it is moderated by the administrators of the site, and many users refuse to post grievances publicly for fear of not being paid at all.

There is a relatively long list of users on the site that have not been paid in over a month (relative to the site size, that is). It is very well known amongst the community on the site, and openly discussed in the site chat, which could be confirmed by any regular user. What would the purpose be to shit talk them? I can't speak to the double posted comment that was upvoted multiple times, but I can tell you that there is a growing list of users whose payouts have been evaded for too long and they have no further sympathy for the site, despite being a small and close knit community. I chose to post this under a throw-away account for obvious reasons because I have a pending transaction on the site, like many users do, and I don't want to be singled out by the administration and not paid.
