Far as I know, as well as what's perfectly depicted by your own quote, the "public agreement" didn't show that there is no strings attached from BC's side. BC only offered an "agreement" to compensate you. The "full restitusion" with no strings attached was an interpretation from you that didn't get a written or casual affirmation from BC, was it?
@holydarkness, that's a fair question. Allow me to clarify.
In the context of a dispute involving the recovery of stolen funds, the term
"compensation to cover your loss" reasonably implies
restoration of the asset to its original state.
The original state of the asset was
5,640.3878 USDT in raw, withdrawable balance. This is not an assumption - it is an objectively verifiable fact, demonstrated by the attacker's ability to withdraw the full amount in 32 seconds without triggering any wagering lock or restriction.
When a platform substitutes that asset with a
promotional bonus code carrying a mandatory 1x wagering requirement, the nature of the asset has been fundamentally altered. It is no longer restitution; it is a replacement of cash with a contingent instrument.
The critical issue is
disclosure. At no point during the public exchange - nor during my formal acceptance - was a wagering requirement, bonus structure, or conditional mechanism mentioned. If BC.GAME intended to deliver anything other than raw balance, they had a duty to state those terms explicitly. Their silence on this matter until the moment of delivery constitutes a
material omission.
Additionally, the redemption code itself was delivered without any disclosed terms or conditions. The wagering requirement only became apparent after redemption, at which point the funds were already locked and withdrawal was restricted. This confirms that the conditional nature of the compensation was neither communicated nor agreed upon at any stage.
Therefore, this is not a case of misinterpretation. It is a case of
undisclosed substitution of a non-equivalent instrument.
I have read the replies subsequent to your post and even though I sympathise with your predicament, I would question why you decided to gamble with the inadequate so-called goodwill gesture instead of posting about their deceit in this thread. And that is the point because regardless of the mistake you made, it cannot negate the fact that BC Game promised you something and did not follow through on their promise.
@JollyGood, thank you for the support and for raising that point - it's a fair question.
Once the redemption code was issued, my objective was to
clear the wagering requirement as quickly as possible and withdraw the funds. At that moment, this appeared to be the only available path to accessing what had been taken from my account.
It is important to clarify that the email containing the redemption code included
no disclosed terms, conditions, or wagering requirements. The existence of a wagering restriction only became apparent after redemption, when the funds were locked and direct withdrawal was blocked.
What matters is this: a code had been issued, its terms were undisclosed, and the only apparent path to recovering the funds was to clear the requirement. This was not an attempt to gamble for profit, but an attempt to remove an unexpected restriction and exit the platform with the funds. The sequence of events that followed is a direct consequence of BC.GAME's failure to deliver what was publicly agreed.
As you correctly pointed out, this does not change the core issue:
BC.GAME committed to covering the loss and did not deliver an equivalent form of that compensation.
