1) The T&C of the site can more or less be boiled down to "We are not responsible for anything" in terms of outages so they are in the clear for that. I am in an excluded region so I had to jump through some hoops to find it. But: from 14.1
And
from 20.1
So with those things in mind, I have to oppose it.
Rollbit can make the OP whole if they want to, but IMO are under no obligation to do so.

It’s worth reconsidering your stance.
I understand your points about rollbit’s t&cs and the broader lack of accountability among online platforms like these. However, the fact that such terms exist doesn’t make them inherently justifiable. In many cases, predatory practices hidden behind legalese have been challenged and overturned, particularly when they exploit users lack of awareness or present unreasonable terms.
Take, for instance, cases involving payday loans or excessive arbitration clauses in consumer contracts. Initially deemed legitimate due to fine print agreements, they were later struck down or heavily regulated when courts determined they were exploitative.
The same logic can apply here, just because the t&c state that rollbit isn’t liable doesn’t mean they’re immune from scrutiny.
Blaming the victim for not recognizing these practices shifts the focus away from the real issue - a lack of regulation and accountability in these platforms. It's important to remember that many users, like the OP, might not be fully aware of how skewed these systems are against them until they face a loss. Does that ignorance justify inaction or refusal to help?
I would argue it doesn’t.
Instead of opposing, you can advocate for greater scrutiny and fairness in how these platforms operate.
By not supporting the OP, you inadvertently enable these companies to continue predatory behavior unchecked.
Wouldn’t it be more constructive to side with those calling out these injustices, regardless of their awareness of the risks beforehand?
Encouraging regulation and pushing for more ethical practices benefits everyone, not just the OP.
I urge you to rethink your position. Standing against exploitation, even in small ways, can lead to broader changes. Let’s not let bad systems persist simply because they’ve been allowed to operate unchallenged for so long
