WHAT HAPPENED:

Last July 27th (Monday), Sportsbet.io froze my account by the time I attempted to withdraw, and after sending them several emails and having waited for several hours, I was asked to send some documents for KYC.

I sent the requested documents immediately, I even sent extra documents that they did not request (like a selfie of myself holding my passport and a paper with my username written on it), just to make sure they could not have the excuse to say that I had failed the KYC and could not return my funds (I was already reading complains on this forum).

Then, on July 28th, I was requested to undergo a Veriff KYC process, which I did and was stated on the App to be successful. But yet, they did not unlock my funds as I had expected, and on July 29th, I received another email on which I was accused of multiaccounting. My reply to those accusations were simple, I denied having created other accounts as I only created and used an account since the moment I started playing on their site.

On the following day, July 30th, I was given several usernames and I was asked if these sounded familiar, however, I firmly defended myself because I had zero involvements with those accounts. I was not given proper evidence justifying their accusations, not even adequate communication.

After that, I did not receive more emails from them. My funds were locked on their site and I was not receiving proper assistance/communication from their part.

Finally, yesterday (4 days since their last reply) I received an email from them.

First, they said that my KYC was unsuccessful because I broke their T&C, which it is absolutely false, because as I said numerous times, I was not multiaccounting. I even provided additional, clear and more specific, documents, to make it easier for them to properly verify me (also suggesting to sign the wallet I used to make the deposits). How could they say that my KYC was not successful? That's unexcusable to say I failed KYC after having sent that many documents, and always, of course, zero evidences, justifications or clarifications.

And second, I was offered the refund of my deposit (0.4279btc), only. They were not going to refund the whole account balance I had at the time they froze it (0.448 btc). The difference is really small, I had small profits (21 mBTC) but it does not matter, I won those funds legitimally and so they belong to me. If I had lost my deposit, nothing would have been returned, therefore, it is not fair from them to make excuses as to randomly froze accounts, for suspicions of "multiaccounting", taking more than a week to give solutions and then, confiscate funds. As I have already mentioned, I was not even given proof, all I received were automated messages.

I have seen the exact same emails on several other complains with only usernames and amounts edited, which provides enough evidence as to determine these are automated messages (for example, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263445.0 or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5266016.0 among dozens of other reports).

Today, they sent the deposit back to me, but they did not reply to any of my emails asking for explanations and for the refund of all the funds I had in my account. Actually, they have been ignoring me since the first day, and I was even blocked from the Live Chat Support after asking them to transfer me to another agent after seeing their non-stop of sending me automated messages.

This week has been a horrible experience, stress and anxiety followed by sleepless nights, waiting for a solution to put an end on this issue, as I was feeling my funds were being stolen. But yet, they ignored all my emails as neither I have received any specific answer (only automated messages that can be found on several other complains throughout the internet), nor a single clarification.

I have never received proper communication, which I deserve as a costumer.

Those profits belong to me, I did nothing wrong as to obtain them and I did not break any of their T&C, so I want to recover my whole balance. Even if it was only a cent, it would still be FULLY legitimate funds, therefore still belonging to me and demandable.

I did nothing wrong and this whole week has been a nightmare, experience which I do not deserve at all and I can not forgive.

What have brought me the biggest concern is to seeing SO MANY cases against this site, mostly on bitcointalk.org, I could have never imagined that I was giving my trust on a site with such complains.

Neither I was too repetitive nor I used abusive language, I just wanted to confirm whether that specific department worked on weekends and if there was any update on my case (on the previous chat I was told that there could be an update after 48h).
 
This kind of costumer care is totally unacceptable. I believe the agent blocked me as to avoid any negative feedback from my part once the chat was closed, as the first couple of days I had had other chats on which I was really concerned and stressed, but then I was never blocked.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Only by typing ''sportsbet.io scam'' on google, you find dozens of complains, and many of them having a case similar to mine.
The many people reporting them is not coincidence, it is evidence speaking by itself.

The problem I have with charities in general is how they use their donated funds--you think all the money you give a charity is going toward whatever the charity's purpose is, but the reality is that most of it goes for administrative funds or other uses that don't help anybody but the charity itself.

Think once - You are paying for all the expenses they have. Starting from printing, posting to expense of maintaining their full organization (office space, transportation, marketing, inventory, salary everything). Somewhere I read a publication that if you give $100 to a charity, only less than $40 goes to the person in need. You are wasting more than $60 and feeding those smart guys instead of the boy that is in the picture.

@JSRAW @Royse777 since last time it was free to join how about we keep it that way for this season too, and allow only one or two posts per week per person to curb signature spam?. Alternatively you’ll could consider up to $10 for the joining fee, but then again feel free to increase it if all are fine with it, as we’re yet dealing with the pandemic I’m not sure if people would wager more or less to join in the IPL pool.

Interested Users - Proposed Entry Fee 
Royse777 - $20+
JSRAW - $5 to $20
akhjob - 15$ to 30$
SaShiRaJaVu - 0.001 BTC
RapTarX - 0.001 BTC
Haunebu - 0.001 to 0.002 BTC(Current price)
teosanru - $5-$10

Does he have any real reason to so this, and then spam message various people about it?

Only Faith, there is no other way to verify if the fund is going the right place.

I give to my own selected charities, I always give to homeless people I see. Me & my girl have been sponsoring a young boy from Ghana for years, we send him stuff & receive photos & letters back to prove he’s received what we send.

People are welcome to do what they want but I will never give BTC to people on here claiming it’s for charity. No offence to anybody involved but I like to see where my money is going.

I guess you meant "cold" wallet sitting on air-gapped  device  that was never been online and in the future  will never go online. Some users are confused with two concept "off-line" device and "air-gapped" one and think if they turn off their WiFi or pulled Ethernet cable that would be enough.

Regarding following the work done by Royse777, I followed next to nothing of his because I have him on my ignore and distrust list, I absolutely do not trust him and it will probably stay that way until I review things further down the line. I unignored him for the sake of reading the OP about his donation thread work but promptly added him back.

I absolutely do not trust him and it will probably stay

How can you be not sure users in the forum asking for your donations are actually after merits and seeking free publicity to portray a better persona here with ulterior motives?

@Royse777 & Others, Now that IPL has been confirmed to be held from September 19 to November 10, shall we have an IPL pool as we did with PSL?

Did neymarjr12 give a wallet address in the end or will that happen later?

"He is the payer and we are the beggar, and beggar can't be a chooser".

How is neymarjr doin? :p

Sorry I had to leave all the fun to you guys. I thought we would go through this much quicker. The moment I realized this would take more than a day (as suchmoon stated multiple days, 4? 5?) I was done. Anyway I especially trust royse777's judgement. You don't need me when he is there.

Are you going to do the same thing with this 2nd case?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5265366.0

Whatever you do - at least thank you for being a reasonable voice here who actually does sound reasonable, fair and honest unlike some other forum members here which I honestly don't appreciate and don't care if they've been here for years - honesty for me goes all the way from bottom to top without compromises.

Take a break, come back Monday, it will be over by then.

And maybe this case would be over, but whatever sportsbet.io is doing is shady as hell, I wouldn't trust them even if this case gets resolved.

May I ask where Royse777, efialtis & mindrust are please after they were all so publicly, somewhat relentlessly vocal in recent sportsbet.io allegations?
Where’s their similar level of intense scrutiny into this case especially due to JETWIN not being licensed & being a smaller, presumably less profitable business than sportsbet.io (which makes them more likely to scam especially as it’s a lot more money than the recent sportsbet.io accusations).

Do you mean that you know who is in the final list?

Finally!!!! Who those senior members would be?

Thanks for heads up! Updated list:
@Royse777
@LFC_Bitcoin
@efialtis
@buwaytress
@SyGambler
@actmyname
@Trofo

I'm Russian as well...

Wew that script costs only $3k. Didn't think it would be that cheap.
