Every once in a while, we get a complaint about cheaters on dotblu, who may or may not be gaining points or blubucks unfairly through a variety of means. It has been known to happen from time to time, and while we're not going to go into detail about how that happens, when we do find cheating happening we take action to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
The best way to make sure that cheating isn't happening is to report actions by any suspected cheaters, either using the 'report' button on every profile, or by contacting us at violations@dotblu.com. We look closely into every complaint we get, however due to our privacy policies we cannot release any details about what we find out.
We can tell pretty easily whether or not someone has been cheating, and sometimes it might appear that someone has been cheating when they're not. For example, someone's Net Worth may drastically increase with little game participation, which understandably makes other players suspicious. However, that could be due to receiving a rather large gift from a friend.
For that reason, we'd like to ask everyone to not publicly accuse anyone of cheating on dotblu, and instead just report them to us and let us look into it. We examine every report fairly and try to figure out what's going on, and take appropriate action. But public accusations can just create hostility on dotblu and make this site less fun for everyone.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to email us at feedback@dotblu.com or contact the House. Good luck!
Am I the only one who lately has been receiving email messages from a bunch of guys who "lost their wife, and have a child who is the center of their world" telling me that they have been on the site forever, but upon investigation they have never bet and have joined in the last month? I'm really not on this site for DATING. Also, lately every underage Ghanaian has contacted me to be "friends". Again no bet activity. Feels like scam. All want my email address or im address. It is making me grumpy.
