Power.Win confiscated $3,500+ – Transactions traced to VEGA.BET-What's going on

[kotus_a_kormod_more]

What happened:

Power.Win confiscated over $3,500 of my sports betting winnings following a source-of-funds investigation.

I funded my account using cryptocurrency from my personal Ledger wallet, primarily funded by gambling winnings from another casino. After submitting the requested documentation, Power.Win acknowledged that my winnings from another casino helped fund my deposits.

However, they subsequently claimed that my Ethereum wallet had transacted with ExWallet.io, an allegedly EU-sanctioned entity.

According to them, my wallet received $4,056 and sent $1,798.65 involving ExWallet.io.

I have NEVER knowingly used ExWallet.io or had any business relationship with this service.

Despite this, Power.Win decided to confiscate ALL my betting winnings ($3,500+), return only my original deposits, and permanently close my account.

They have not provided the transaction hashes or counterparty addresses supporting their allegations, nor explained why this alleged exposure justifies confiscating every dollar of my winnings.

Amount Scammed:
$3,500+ USD in confiscated betting winnings. Original deposits have been returned.

Payment Method:
USDT (ERC-20), Ethereum network.

Proof of Payment:

Deposits were made using USDT on the Ethereum network.

For privacy reasons, I prefer not to disclose my personal cryptocurrency wallet address publicly, as it is also used for transactions unrelated to Power.Win.

I am willing to provide the full transaction hashes, blockchain history and supporting evidence privately to a trusted mediator for independent verification.

Their decision explicitly states:

Under Sections 7.5 and 14.8, the winnings on your account have been forfeited.

Additional Notes:

I fully understand that bookmakers must conduct AML and sanctions checks. However, I dispute the confiscation of my entire winnings balance based on an alleged connection to a service I have never knowingly used.

I have already examined my Ethereum transaction history and identified several suspicious dust/address-poisoning transfers. I cannot independently verify Power.Win's ExWallet.io attribution.

I am requesting that Power.Win provide the specific transaction hashes, explain the alleged connection, and justify the complete forfeiture of my winnings.

I am happy to provide transaction records and additional documentation to a trusted mediator.

I welcome input from anyone experienced with cryptocurrency compliance or similar bookmaker confiscation cases.

EDIT – IMPORTANT UPDATE (12 October 2026):

I believe I have identified the transactions Power.Win is referring to!

After analyzing my complete Ethereum transaction history, I discovered that the amounts Power.Win attributed to ExWallet.io correspond almost exactly to deposits and withdrawals I made at Vega.bet, another online bookmaker.

Vega.bet Bitcointalk profile:
Vega.bet representative

Specifically:

• July 21–25, 2026: Four deposits to Vega.bet totaling 1,800 USDT. Power.Win alleged $1,798.65 sent to ExWallet.io.
  
• August 7, 2026: Five confirmed Vega.bet withdrawals totaling 4,057 USDT received on-chain. Power.Win alleged $4,056 received from ExWallet.io.
  

The individual transaction amounts and timestamps match my Vega.bet account history, including the withdrawal processing deductions.

I have screenshots of the Vega.bet transactions and the corresponding blockchain records to support this.

I have never knowingly used ExWallet.io. These transactions were associated with my gambling activity at Vega.bet.

My suspicion is that Vega.bet may be using ExWallet.io or a related entity as its cryptocurrency payment processor. However, this has NOT been independently confirmed.

I would appreciate clarification from Vega.bet's representative regarding which cryptocurrency payment processor handled these transactions.

I am not accusing Vega.bet of wrongdoing. I am trying to establish why transactions associated with my Vega.bet account are apparently being flagged by Power.Win as exposure to a sanctioned entity.

Power.Win has still not provided the transaction hashes or counterparty evidence supporting its ExWallet.io attribution, yet has confiscated over $3,500 of my betting winnings.

I believe these findings warrant an immediate reconsideration of the confiscation decision.

I will update this thread as further evidence becomes available.

Original deposits have been returned.

It is weird. I mean, if they have proof of AML activity the deposit and all the winnings which stems from the deposit should be confiscated. If they are separating both, I don't think the logic is sound.

According to them, my wallet received $4,056 and sent $1,798.65 involving ExWallet.io.

Have you explained them the reasons behind these transactions? I mean I understand the privacy concerns but it would be good IMO if you can explain the reasons here also.

Hey Memehunter!

First of all, thank you for taking your time to show interest in my case.

No I haven't explained anything, because I flat out know that this is some ridicilous excuse, so I wanted my deposited funds back ASAP out of worry.

However, I have taken a look on my history when I submitted the post but could not find anything, HOWEVER!

I take another look again, but now, I managed to extract my full transaction history, and found out the LIKELY transactions they are pointing out!

The funds they are referring to were moving through July and August, using another bookmaker VEGA.BET, which is also here on this forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3734213

This is actually crazy now. What the hell can I do? I did not know that they are using this sanctioned exchange, I only deposited and withdrew some funds from them during the time I played with them.

Look at the amounts, they are matching up.

What should I do in this situation? This is crazy.

Power.Win have not confirmed that these are the transactions they are referring to, but after analysing my whole history, the numbers are matching up on this address!!

This is why I actually require clarification from the bookmaker!!

Since they sent you the initial deposited amount, and as the amount is not significantly that big, I guess you don't have anything you can do, and Vegabet can't help you either. Neither a trusted mediator can provide any kind of help. They told you the reason why they confiscated your winnings, and you verified that reason by searching the blockchain. It is not your fault that Vegabet is using that EU sanctioned platform, and it is not also for power.win to ignore their operational terms.

So, explain it to them now, or maybe try posting this on contesthunters.com and get the help of @holydarkness, he might be able to get in contact with their support and mediate this case(hopefuly).

If you ask me, it ridiculous that they would void the winnings just because the funds you used to went through a sanctioned platform even though you didn't know it happened and you weren't the one who made the transaction, but then again, they didn't know that part.
