Howdy!
I am one of the bettors who got scammed by Alvaro "Spin4play" Romero -$15,000 in my case. All bets he frauded were worth over $100,000.
I want you to check out this story about a guy who thanks to the fake challenge earned a lot of money. Now with cooperation with PokerStrategy he doesn't want to pay back the money he stole.
Together with PokerStrategy they were advertising their SpinLegends school with fake image of Alvaro who supposed to be The Best Spin&Go Poker Player in the world - which was pretty hard to neglect after the bet he won.
But let's strart from the beggining.
In 2016 Spin4play run a challenge on 2+2 - that he is aiming to play 20K games in 2 months (May+April) with 1,5% ROI. Odds were 3:1 for him - quite reasonable. $30,000 of his own action vs $90,000 bettors action.
I have beenplayed these games for over a year and I knew it's almost impossible. At least no one did it in the past. So random guy who never played on .eu can't do it. Alvaro told that he was playing spins on PokerStars.es that's why he came out of nowhere and want to challenge himself. I thought - easy money - let's set trustworthy escrow and LET'S GO!
And as you may suspect - he won the bet.
2 years later (a few months ago) we started to hear some gossips about a software that spin4play was using which allowed him to skip registering to the spin if the first registered player is a good reg.
So one of the bettors started a topic where everything started:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...fraud-1713447/
After conversation with integrity team we found out that he got banned beacause of cheating during the Challenge.
Meanwhile in this topic PokerStrategy was doing what they can to prove that we are wrong and there are false acosations. After a few days since this topic started on 2+2 Alvaro wrote the post where he claims that he wants to pay us the money. PokerStrategy reacted again the same as at the beggining telling us that THESE ARE YOUR PRIVATE PROBLEMS AND WE DON'T CARE ABOUT IT. Though PokerStrategy decided to not show Alvaro face on their site and not advertise him as a coach nor talking about his increadible challenge.
But the problem is that they actually gathered pretty big stable thankfully to false advertisment of this challenge - as Spin4play was a face of SpinLegends - and BOTH WITH ALVARO profit regulary from players they are staking USING MY MONEY!!!!!
Now the ABSURD is comming - Alvaro want's to pay ONLY 10%!!!!/monthly. WHY? He is a big shareholder of SpinLegends.
Again PokerStrategy doesn't care in helping to solve this case even tho they are in good contact with their business partner.
When is he going to pay me and others the rest of the money?
;TLDR
-Alvaro "Spin4play" Romero cheated in a challenge where he won $100k from bettors by using illegal software and chip-dumping.
-He used his image of best Spin&Go player and money to cooperete with PokerStrategy and create SpinLegends stable.
-Now after 2 years truth turned out(confirmed by PokerStars integrity team and Spin4play admits his guilty)
-PokerStrategy stopped advertising spin4play as a coach but keeps taking profit from players who were convinced by mendacious adversity
-Alvaro wants to give back only 10% MONTHLY to bettors while being big SpinLegends shareholder
-PokerStrategy don't care and washes their hands.
-When will he give back STOLEN money?
