I have edited main post to follow scam accusations forum rules. Here's my older post:
Fairlay.com is holding 1.2BTC of my depositted funds for over 6 months now!
05/10/2017 06:39 mBTC -598.00 0.00 Cashout (not processed)
05/10/2017 06:38 mBTC -637.00 598.00 Cashout (not processed)
05/10/2017 06:29 mBTC 1,235.00 1,235.00 Other (here is deposit)
I have been playing with them like 1 year or more without any problems before this happens and withdrawals were instant, unfortunatelly I have been depositting and withdrawing many times without playing as instant deposits worked without any problems (tried to play arbs but they didn't work well these months) until this happened - they didn't process my last two withdrawall requests after my deposit of 1.235btc, was in argue with them many days (2 months or so) but finally never got my withdrawals and they have stopped replying to my e-mails saying it's money laundering, this is their final statement and that they won't pay.
Stay away from this sportsbook as if they think something you will have absolutely no chance to get your money back (no license, many many excuses to not pay and finally not replying to mails).

Hello Fairlay,
You cannot confiscate a players deposit because you "suspect" they are money laundering. What are you? A gambling platform or Le? Rather, you should report them to the authorities or ban the player from using your platform. Keeping betg's bitcoins is stealing, and I am amazed by the argument you are putting forward here. You don't have any evidence to back up your claims, and your actions are based on suspicion. Does it mean that you will seize deposits whenever you are suspicious a player?

im sorry if I came late to this party, but help me understand...
You accuse this user of committing identity theft, and committing fraud. You ask for proof of who they are and set a deadline. When that deadline was not met, you kept the funds?
at the end of the day, unless you can show some reason you are entitled to this cash, you should be returning it, and banning the player for ever using your services again. In no sense whatsoever would you be able to keep the funds without proof you actually suffered some loss that you are covering. Ie... he used a stolen card to buy BTC from you, and the transaction was reversed...
If thats the case, and you are really keeping the money with no proof that it belongs to you, how would you make anyone feel safe about using your service ever again?
Im just asking cause I didnt see any of the real answers in the other thread... just that he didnt prove who he was fast enough. Unless I missed something and there was actual loss by your company.

What happened: Fairlay has been holding my deposit hostage for over 6 months now. I played with them for over a year without any major issues. Deposits and withdrawals were always almost instant. Sometimes, I withdrew my funds without playing. The primary reason for using them was for arbitrage betting. Any seasoned bettor knows that arbitrage opportunities are fleeting, and in most cases, lasts only for a few seconds or minutes. Whenever I deposited and the arbitrage opportunity is lost/gone, I simply withdrew my funds. Moreover, there was never any clause in their terms and conditions asking bettors to turnover deposits before withdrawing. As far as I know, I never broke any rules.
Out of the blue, without any warning, they stopped processing my withdrawals. After several emails exchanges, they arbitrarily decided that they will keep my bitcoins for themselves. I have 1.235 BTC with them. Please explain to me how this is justifiable? They claim I was using their platform as a free mixer, and that I was laundering my funds through them. Really? Lets pretend for a minute that their accusations are true, Does it give them the right to keep my hard earned money? Can a gambling platform seize deposits because they suspect that the funds were acquired illegally? How is it their business how I earned those coins? Are they the IRS or a Government entity with a mandate to go after illegal funds? My apologies, I digress.
Their final statement is that under no circumstances will they pay me back. As far as they are concerned this case is closed. Beware of Fairlay.com. Do not deposit there, their modus operandi is that they can decide to steal your deposit whenever it suits them with accusations that you are a money launderer. They don't need proof, nothing - They only need to suspect your activities, and that gives them the right to keep your coins and spend them as they wish. And oh, they may also request KYC and give you 2 days to submit them, otherwise you are in their opinion a scammer and a document forger. This, coming from a business that is not even licensed.
