What happened::
I completed this airdrop: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276771.0
When I entered my twitter username into the telegram bot it told me I had won 0.25btc and it gave me a code to enter on the site (bilario.com) The btc appeared in my account but it will not lot me withdraw, when I attempt to it says I must deposit 0.03btc for "verification." Hm so instead of verifying with KYC like every other site, how is paying $300 going to verify anything? The chat box on the home page seems fake to me as well, I couldn't get anyone to respond to me at all. I believe it is merely a chat bot, or perhaps they take the chat from a different site and do not send your messages through. I tried to Google search for this site and found nothing about it, but from a different site I can see that the URL has only been registered since 8/23/2020, despite this being on their about page:

"Our History"...
"Nov 2013 Bilario LTD company registered"

So the company has been operating for 7 years but only had a website for 1 month?!?

Tons and tons of red flags here, I would suggest anyone to stay far away from this phony exchange.

This type of scam has been very notable for the last two years. They first started out as people offering free BTC to test out casinos but when you try to withdraw your winnings, you will be asked deposit more BTC as a form of "verification" After which they have now advance to exchanges.

Check this thread out. It explains about this kind of scams in details - List of (un)known methods scammers user to scam users with honorable mention (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5171618.0)

These scammers are trying to develop traditional ideas but they fail. Perhaps the persistence of some stupid dreamy people with a quick profit is what makes these activities continue.

The balance on the site is not considered money, but rather an update in the database that does not cost scammers anything.
Therefore, do not believe anyone who gives you free money without making an effort or asking you to promote their accounts.
