By the way, how did you even find about this website?
I just searched for the website in question and read some reviews. According to one of reviews I read on scamadviser, the victim was contacted through a messaging app and was introduced to that website. Most probably, the same thing happened to OP.

I don't really understand your purpose from creating this thread. Every day, there are many people making bet on different casinos. Should they create a new topic every time they win a bet?

Someone said it could be a phishing attempt in the comment. It's not. I have actually checked the exchange wallet and the fund is there.
If you used the link provided on the email, did you check if you are in the real website? If yes, can you tell us what exchange are you talking about? It's possible that the exchange is a scam and they ask you to deposit some fund to be able to make a withdrawal.

From my experience, the number shown in "Premium section" isn't always correct and it usually takes some time to be updated. It's also possible that you don't see any message regarding available WOF spins, while you have some spins. Take note that you can play your WOF spins, even if you don't see that message. To do so, click the following link. https://freebitco.in/static/html/wof/wof-premium.html

Thanks for the great explanation. So, it seems that there were (at least) two people with access to OP's wallet. Both used an automated program to steal OP's fund and the one who made transaction B was luckier than the one who made transaction A.

I think it resyncs when you put a new wallet in too (faster than the initial sync but still might take a bit of time to load up).
It depends on whether the full blockchain has been stored on the hard drive or not. If the blockchain has been downloaded in prune mode, you have to download the blockchain again.

Or perhaps OP's transaction was immediately spent by another transaction, and then 10 minutes later when it still hadn't confirmed the attacker replaced that transaction with a second higher paying transaction.
There's another transaction on blockchain.com explorer trying to spend the same UTXO from OP's address. The transaction had been made with exactly the same fee rate and is invalid now. Click here to see that. I don't really know what exactly caused that 10 minute difference on blockchain.com, but it may have something to do with this invalid transaction.

Sometimes scammers deposit with their own coins to entice people to deposit,
You are right. That's possible, but I doubt that's the case here. If those transaction had been made by themselves for deceiving people, they could simply send back the 2x transaction too. Click here to see the transactions made to the scammer's address.

About your current case if the transaction is still unconfirmed yet I think you can double spend the transaction and transfer it to your new wallet.
Since OP made this topic, the mempool has been emptied several times. Therefore, even if the transaction in the question has been made with the fee rate of 1 sat/vbyte, it has been surely confirmed and there is no way to double spend it. Also, it was mentioned in the OP that both transactions (the one made by OP and the one made by the hacker/thief) have been confirmed.

The first two tweets have been already deleted and I checked the third one. It says that "you can only apply once". With this trick, they are trying to encourage their victims to send more fund and avoid sending small amounts for testing purpose. I also checked their deposit address. Till now, two people have been scammed by them. One has sent 3 ETH and the other has sent 0.5 ETH.

I believe they have strong anti cheat protection through the user ID-s in the site and their way of accessing the site,the mobile,the desktop,what browser do they use and what IP and things like that who make sure people don't cheat with multi accounting.
KYC isn't asked only for preventing users from cheating. Many casinos (or other crypto-related services like exchanges) force users to pass KYC due to complying with regulatory rules. Of course, I agree with you and I don't think they will ever implement KYC.

Now both are fully confirmed and i kinda dont know what to do.
There's nothing you can do. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible The only thing you can do now is to avoid sending any more fund to your wallet and as mentioned above, format your computer and install a fresh operating system. Take note that if you want to be completely secure in the future, you should install electrum on air-gapped device. If you can't do that for any reason, it's recommended to use a hardware wallet.

3. any chance of your trust wallet account getting frozen like they might do on exchanges?
There's no chance for that since the Trust wallet is non-custodial. Trustwallet gives you full access to your private keys. So, it's ture that it's non-custodial. You can import your seed phrase into any other wallet at any time. But this doesn't mean your permanent access to the fund is guaranteed. As trustwallet is close-source, we don't know wether they have access to users keys or not. If they have access to users keys, they can send your fund to their own address and cut off your access to your fund.

So if your purpose is to guess the seed phrase of someone's wallet then you have 0.01% to guess a seed phrase wallet.
I don't understand this. Are you saying that the chance of guessing someone's wallet correctly is 0.01%? Am I getting you correctly? Or I am missing something here? To avoid any misunderstanding for a newbie reading this thread, it may be worth mentioning that the chance of guessing a seed phrase correctly is zero. A 12 word BIP39 seed phrase provides 128 bits of entropy and can't be brute-forced or guessed.

The master public key is derived from your seed phrase through a one-way function. Therefore, there is no way to derive the seed phrase from your master public key.

This has been posted today by admin of BGL coin, for what I can see is still possible withdraw funds from their exchange
I doubt it's possible to withdraw fund from the exchange. It seems that there is no way to login to the website. I tried to login to the website using VPN from different countries, but I couldn't access it. I tried it with VPNs from some European countries, United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, India and United Kingdom.

So, what could've been the problem from your side because even palle11 verified it from verifybitcoinmessage.com/ and CoinEraser also did from one of the sites you couldn't – brainwalletx.github.io.
There was no problem from TheBeardedBaby's side. palle11 signed a new message from a legacy address which was the one verified by him/her and CoinEraser. TheBeardedBaby was trying to sign the message signed from the segwit address which can't be verified at all. Maybe we should just say those signing message from coinoimi should do that using legecy
The best thing anyone can do is to not use coinomi.

Could have been someone's personal signature text with the forums' ad warning below.
That's not a personal signature. Such information is sometimes displayed below the forum ad banner which is located below the first post of every page.

I apologise, I have done a fair amount of research my question was just poor. What I am asking is if you can not create someones signature for their transaction how can you compute fake blocks for the chain?
I am not sure I have understood you correctly. But I think your question is "How signatures are verified?". When you broadcast a transaction to the network, you broadcast a hash, a signature and a public key. For verifying your transaction, nodes don't need to recreate your signature at all. Nodes generate a hash using your public key and your signature through some mathematical calculations. If the hash generated by them matches the hash broadcast by you, the transaction is verified.
