I received an email from the compliance team at Rollbit and wanted to address it here, please see below the full email.
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/06/23/hNv2f.png1. The point they make about the data roaming is untrue, as I have been investigating following my issue with Rollbit. I contacted my phone service provider and they confirm that when I use my phone data abroad (within Europe), my IP will show as Spain as they are the ones that are providing the service (I am not an expert so I am not able to explain how this works precisely.
2. I have never used a VPN to connect to the site, and it would be completely illogical for me to use one to connect from a restricted region.
3. I told the support team that I was residing in the UK as I wanted them to release my funds without having to KYC, I know it is a mistake on my part and I should have agreed to KYC straight away. I am in the process of moving to the UK for work reasons, but I am still living in Luxembourg to this date. I dont think the circumstances change nonetheless, as I was a Luxembourg resident when opening my account and throughout the whole period of using it. I then agreed to complete KYC once the support team communicated to me that they have completely wiped my account and would be keeping my $64k of winnings (I am finalising the visa process for the UK and will be moving there).
4. I have to inform myself more on the matter, but it is illegal to keep my funds on the claim that they "believe it is extremely unlikely" that I am a Luxembourg resident, when they wont even let me prove that I am.
5. I think it is completely illogical that a Casino can allow you to deposit and withdraw for 2 years without any issues (I deposited and withdrew around $60k), but once my balance turned positive, I am a danger to their Casino license? I have never been in breach of ToS and have never been made aware if I was. Rollbit claims that I should have received a pop-up notifying me that I was accessing from a restricted region, but I never received any such communication.
6. I am able to prove that throughout my time in the site I was residing in Luxembourg and that I currently still live there (although will be moving soon), and under no Terms and Conditions does it say that they reserve the right to keep your funds arbitrarily based on their opinion of something being "extremely unlikely". I believe Rollbit wants to now operate as a more reputable casino (seeking license in the UK?), but things like this bring their reputation to the ground.
7. I am not sure what my options are at this point, and would really appreciate your help/input
