Account closed and deposits held back


10 months ago
I played quite a lot on 20bet . First I lost, deposited more, then I Won. So I had my deposit balance + winnings in the account.

Then after verifying account, sending all they need, I got message about that my account was closed, due to fraud. I have tried to ask how I can have been doing fraud, with what I have sent and what they have, but they dont answer me about that. I have not played in any fixed matches or so.

I have reviewed their Terms and Conditions but still do not understand what led to this decision.

I would appreciate any guidance or support in resolving this issue. And most important for me, after reading their terms I know I have rights to get back my deposits on my account. They have only sent my last deposit, that was a low % of my total deposits.

Askgambler, can you involve here? I guess you have gotten some information. I dont know what your conclusion is, but I hope to get some. And If you conclude that playing same bets as other individual(because of following same tipster) is violation, I hope you agree that I at least can get my deposit back

I have followed a tipster on X, besides my own bets. You closed my account, so I cant see my activity, but I know there is football lower leagues in Norway, which you offer, and I use the offer, and Tour de France. What other users bet, and if they follow the same tipster, that I cannot control. If this is the reason for confiscating ALL my money on the site, deposit+winnings, I am truly shocked. I hope you AskGambler can help us here.

Voided bet after the match is played
On August 8, 2025, I placed a bet on the 20Bet website on a Finnish U20 football league (P20 Ykkönen) match: U20 Sapa vs. U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki.

I bet on the 1x2 market, picking option 2, meaning a win for U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki, with odds of 6.00. I placed multiple bets of €10–€50 each, totaling €500. The match ended 0–4 in favor of U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki, so my bets won. The bookmaker initially paid the winnings into my account, bringing my balance to €3,000.
The next day, when I checked my account, my balance was only €500, and my bets on that match had been voided. I asked in their live chat why my stake had been refunded, and most likely a bot replied that my stake had been refunded because the match result had been known in advance. I responded that I had placed my bets a day before the match started, so I could not have known the final result. They only replied that the team had made a decision and it could not be changed.

On August 10, 2025, I also sent an email to [email protected] about the matter, but I have not received a reply. Now I am wondering whether it can really be the case that a bookmaker can freeroll my €500 stake by declaring after my winning bets that the match result was fixed, without providing any proof of that. In that case, a bettor would have no chance of winning if the bookmaker refunds the stake from winning bets. Would my stake have been refunded if I had lost the bet—if Sapa U20 had won? I doubt it.
A bookmaker should void bets before the match starts if they intend to do so, not after the match when result is known. Of course, I have no information that the match was fixed, and there has been no news or information anywhere in the media or on the internet suggesting it was, so this seems to be a completely made-up explanation. I placed the bet purely on a hunch, and now I feel cheated. Therefore, I want 20Bet to pay my full winnings, as they rightfully should in this case.
