My name is João, and I am a father of four from Brazil. I am writing this post to seek out other individuals who may have been defrauded by the online gambling platform Bazed Bet. I believe I have been the victim of a calculated scam, and I have initiated legal action to recover my winnings and hold them accountable for their actions.
The Scam:On May 28, 2024, I deposited 3.61 BNB (approximately $2,166 USD) on BazedBet.com and, through a series of legitimate winning bets, increased my balance to $15,556. When I attempted to withdraw my winnings, BazedBet subjected me to a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. Despite providing all requested documentation, including my ID, passport, proof of address, and even a video selfie with my documents, Bazed Bet deemed my documents "illegitimate" and permanently banned my account.
Evidence:I have meticulously documented my entire experience with Bazed Bet and [redacted], including:
Video proof of my winning bets:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/06/29/hx6vH.jpegThe KYC TrapWhen I tried to withdraw my winnings, Bazed Bet hit me with a Know Your Customer request. I was asked to provide copies of my ID, passport, proof of address – even a selfie with my documents. I meticulously followed their instructions, believing it was standard procedure. They hit me with this KYC requirement. No problem, I thought. I sent them everything they asked for my ID card, passport, two bills showing my address, even a selfie with my passport. I even sent them a video of myself and all of my documents.
I did some research and found out that Bazed Bet doesn't even have a license. They're not supposed to be handling KYC docs at all. Now I know they're using this KYC thing as an excuse to not pay me. Their use of KYC to withhold winnings is fraud.
I filed a complaint with casinoreviews.com but bazedbet.com didn't answer: https://casinoreviews.com/complaints/bazed-bet-they-don-t-pay-winners-30-06-2024Ruling Found Against the Operator Found Against the Operator - Despite our repeated efforts to contact Bazed Bet to discuss this issue we have received no response whatsoever from the operator.You can see they verified this is a scam.The Rejection and The SilenceTo my shock, Bazed Bet rejected my documents, claiming they were "illegitimate." They then permanently banned my account, effectively stealing my $15,556.
I tried to reason with them, sending emails and messages, but they blocked me on all their platforms – Telegram, chat, you name it.
Here was their last response to me. Now they block my chats, don't answer my emails and have blocked me on Telegram.

Further Investigation:More than ten other individuals then spoke with me and referred me to others, which helped uncover even more information. They told me they know who "[redacted]" is but are giving him a chance to make things right before they reveal his identity, or 'dox' him, as they put it. They said he’s a [redacted], born in [redacted], and he holds either [redacted] or [redacted] citizenship. With this information, there aren’t many people who fit the description, so identifying him isn't difficult.
The investigator has identified three of your four partners.
Mark: [redacted]
Michael: [redacted]
Bubbles: If this issue isn't resolved quickly, his identity will be provided to us. With the current information, our investigator should be able to fully identify him within a couple weeks anyways.
After my account was banned, I conducted further research and discovered that BazedBet appears to be operating without a valid gambling license. This raises serious concerns about the platform's legitimacy and its right to handle sensitive KYC information.
There is over $100,000US in scams just reported and posted by Bazed BetFurthermore, BazedBet and [redacted] have been linked to similar allegations of fraudulent activity in the online gambling community.
