Degen.com Confiscated My Winnings

[MaxTher]

What happened:: I created an account on Degen.com and deposited funds using USDT (ERC20). I only placed regular bets on major League of Legends tournaments, mainly the MSI, using common markets such as total kills and match winner.

After winning several bets, When i try to withdraw Degen.com liquidated all of my winnings, claiming "sports betting abuse." They have not provided any evidence or a specific explanation of what I supposedly did wrong. Instead, they only quoted generic sections of their Terms of Service related to fraud, arbitrage, and betting abuse.

I have never used bots, arbitrage, or any unfair betting strategy.  https://imgur.com/a/vwKXfVt These are the bets I placed.

You should have used other much friendlier image hosting websites like;
1. https://talkimg.com/
2. https://bitlist.co/upload
Imgur gives users of Tor browser and VPNs hard time.

This is the kind of case that is so hard to get resolved here, and you might need to use arbitration from a third party service. They are obviously not going to share all the specifics of their investigation to the public.

As an avid Esports bettor myself i can confirm there is nothing suspicious about those 6 bets

They are all on Tier 1 League of legends tournament with the biggest teams where there is no chance if any fixing etc

Degen representative is pretty active here so i hope they can check and respond

Unless u had more beta you did not show or a multi account, this shouldnt have happened

This user has same pattern of having sports betting issue if you will check his post history https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5584440.msg66781176#msg66781176.

Normally, I will give a benefit of the doubt on this case but for someone experiencing the same issue on different casino with same games then I believe there’s something wrong on this user betting pattern.

There’s no issue on the bet per se. I think it’s on the strategy he is using.

Will this problem be a baseless accusation with some evidence of transactions, even though there are no screenshots in this case, is the evidence strong enough to win him in this case, it could also be that the strategy he used made his bet become like that.

PM logs says his account has been locked by betby, so maybe its because of some other actions done on another sportsbook

Almost every site uses betby nowadays so very difficult to get away from pulling an abuse on one site and then simply switching to another site

I sided with OP in beginning but after seeing the char log more closely, there must be something OP has done and its not the bets shown in the screenshot

Are you sure you haven't abused their system? They seem to show reason, as you wrote above, "sports betting abuse." They usually don't provide evidence after flagging an account, and they might not provide any evidence on this thread as well. They only cooperate with mediators, but a few mediators don't accept sports betting complaints.

However, I have asked questions about these allegations on their announcement thread. They seem pretty active there, and I have asked to come here to respond to your allegation. Hopefully they will come here when they notice my reply there. So you may wait a couple of days to respond here and look for mediators who allow sports betting complaints.
