Like previously said, they do have a clean history and I do have them in high regard because all my dealings in their sites.
This behavior seems quite erratic and it's theft, hope you got back what is owned to you.

Could you please let us know how much you had in your account that they won't allow you to withdraw?
Its a small amount, less than a bitcoin, but that does not change anything really.

Hmm, they have been around a very long time, so this is a little surprising (please note I am no way affiliated with them besides being hired to advertise in my signature). Could you please let us know how much you had in your account that they won't allow you to withdraw?
I think it is perfectly fair of them to no longer pay out affiliate earnings if they so desire, but any money previously held in the account, either through affiliates or deposits, should be released. No matter what is said, you cannot steal money.
I assume someone from Bitcoin Rush will be weighing in here shortly, lets get the other side of the story.

TL;DR
Bitcoin Rush took my bitcoins from my account because they did not like the review I posted about them (the review was more positive at the time than it is now).
I run Bitedge which used to be called the Bitcoin Betting Guide.
I am posting this because I care about the bitcoin gambling ecosystem and I am sick of amateurish operators acting dishonestly.
What happened
After some disagreement about our Bitcoin Rush review and inclusions on my site I was surprised to receive the following in an email from Bitcoin Rush.
"Per the terms and conditions on this page https://www.bitcoinrush.io/affiliates Management and I have decided to no longer process your affiliate payments"
I thought it was petty and a bad business decision but if that was all then I would not be making this post, it’s their affiliate program after all. However it was much worse than that.
Bitcoin Rush took my cleared funds out of my account! The previous day I could bet with those funds or withdraw them just like any user who has deposited their own bitcoins or had affiliate payments in their account. Then my bitcoins were simply gone from my account.
I was surprised because I had always defended Bitcoin Rush as being an honest and reliable operator, I did not think they were as high quality as the best bitcoin sportsbooks but I did say in the review that users funds were safe with them. Now we know they are not.
I sought clarification and to get my funds back multiple times and was told I had gone against the affiliate terms and conditions without any specifics of what I had done that was against what term or condition. I could not see anything in those vague terms and conditions I had gone against so I asked again and was told.
"You flat out call BitcoinRush.io one of the worst sites around, only catching any sense of traffic because we listed on Havelock? Calling us pretty much the worst bitcoin site in existence disqualifies you from any further affiliate payments."
So there it is, Bitcoin Rush stole my bitcoins from my account because they don't like what I said about them. I never called Bitcoin Rush one of the worst sites around, that is them exaggerating, and even if I had have done so that would not be against the terms and conditions. Even if I had have gone against the terms and condition nowhere do they say that gives Bitcoin Rush the right to take the cleared funds from previous deposits or affiliate payments out of my account.
As such Bitcoin Rush should no longer be trusted by the bitcoin community, provably fair does not help much if they steal your bitcoin for reasons they make up as they go along. Luckily there is no reason to risk it as there are far higher quality, more professional and more trustworthy bitcoin sportsbooks and casinos reviewed on Bitedge
For those interested here is the full backstory of the disagreements leading up to the theft.
