Recently I have ran into a withdrawal problem with sportsbet.io after ~15 bets. I was accused of multi-accounting, but they didn’t provide any evidences or any explanations! I thought that there was some mistake and tried to explain, argue to the support agent that I recently registered this site and EXACTLY I was not registered on it before. In reply to my email, I didn’t receive any new information, they just wrote to me that "YOU are not profitable for OUR business" and therefore they are ready to give me only my deposit, but not MY EARNINGS!
After that, I decided to take at least my deposit (so as not to lose it) and check some reviews about this fraudulent site. In short, I found many cases, one of the most resonant on this forum is perhaps neymarjr12. I was browsing the entire thread and was amazed at the eagerness of many of the authoritative and respectable users of this forum who are ready to help (especially impressed with the efforts of Royze777, he seems like a great buddy in real world).
Reading the discussion, I saw a lot of arguments indicating that sportsbet.io could prove the accusations by not disclosing information about their algorithms and methods, but nevertheless - they don't seek to do this. After only a week of discussion, Steve agreed to a compromise in the form of a third-party solution to the situation.
Also I had an idea to highlight my case and the cases of other guys in other forums, including both international and our local forums (Russian forums and groups of like-minded people), because a huge number of Russians do not know English well enough and post something to an international forum it is a big problem for them. And the discussion on Russian forums has no effect on sportsbet, also their representatives are not available there. This is probably why they consider it possible to selectively decline withdrawals under the auspices of "multiaccounting". By the way, what if, after publishing 10 or more cases, the owners of other accounts see each other? @Sportsbet.io, are your investigations really fair and impartial? Or, for example, you can send accusations to 5 different people and list 4 accounts of other people to each of them, because they will not know about it due to the fact that they are not even aware of each other's existence. Looks like a perfect scam.
I noticed that there are a lot of comments and jokes like "these are trifl coins", "these are pennies, why should sportsbet do this?" Now try to imagine that this amount (0.2-0.3 BTC) is multiplied by thousands of users from Russia every day. More than 3 000 000$ no longer seems like a penny to you, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, my account was disabled before I could take any screenshots, but I can at least attach transactions from my wallet.

I thought this post has been created before and has been locked as well or is it different from this one here is the link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-sportsbetio-withholding-funds-5263445
It is different and a similar thing is happening to me, to which I have not even gotten a resolution yet after one week anxiously waiting.
As far as I can see, many people are having similar experiences. I have sent a PM to the site's representative on the forum asking for assistance, but if nothing comes around, I will post the whole story on the forum as well.
We just want our funds back (on my case, they are practically just withholding my deposits, as I had a tiny profit).
