Refusing to refund deposits from Restricted country player

On February 8 2020 I registered an account at Cbet.gg . Since gambling is allowed in my country and I found the link to the casino on a Swedish recommendation web page, I can admit that I mainly read the bonus and withdrawal terms detailed and skimmed through the rest. I had no reason to believe to find Sweden in the Restricted country list, since i had received direct promotion to register.

I played at Cbet until beginning of June, when I decided to close my account due to lack of winnings and poor VIP offers. I was just about to open my account again when I noticed in 7.1. of Cbets Terms and Conditions, that Sweden is a restricted country for playing at Cbet. I was surprised and stunned. I am very well aware of that casinos at any time can close and withhold winnings if you violate the terms –but the thing is that I have never tried to disclose I am from Sweden. I registered my address upon registration (with country Sweden) and my proof of address was approved. I do not use/hide/change my VPN or even know how to do that.

It is obvious to me that Cbet try to lure customers from restricted countries to register, and if they win big, Cbet can withhold their winnings. This of course creates a situation for me that I cannot play at Cbet again since they at any time would be able to close my account.

I think it is an absolutely reasonably request that Cbet refund my deposits of a total of 5970 E (deposits minus winnings) to me. This since they have allowed me to play and approved my account, in violation of their own terms and that I have no chance of continue to play win back or continue play with them. Since I have closed my account I cannot show the transactions but please see attached chat transcript where the amount is confirmed, as well as confirmation on that they have had my full address registered.

I have tried to solve the complaint directly with Cbet but they just refer to that is my own responsibility not to play at them if it is not allowed in my country. Since it is allowed in my country for players to play at foreign casinos, I mean that it is their responsibility not to allow players to register if they are restricted in their terms. Sweden is possible to chose when registering which is directly deceptive against their T&C:s.

I hope that Askgamblers can help and mediate in this conflict.

Withdrawal rejected twice with no reasonable explanation

I made a withdrawal request on the 29th of December 2025, which was rejected, with Cbet and its cs reps (upon contacting them) telling me the node provider was overloaded, and to wait patiently for 72 hours to expire, after which I’ll be able to make a withdrawal successfully.

The 72 hours expired on Jan 2, 11:50 pm WAT, and I made another request only for it to be rejected again 2 hours later.

I contacted their customer service this morning, and she (her name is Valentine) told me to swap my TRX for another crypto and then try the withdrawal again. She said she was confident it would work.

I did exactly as told and tried withdrawing again, only to receive an error that my action was blocked and to contact support for more details.

Valentine was still on the chat, and when I informed her about the new issue, she told me to try it again on a different browser and a different device. I did all that to no avail.

Then she says she has created a ticket to the relevant department, and it would take another 72 hours for analysis, but even worse, it might take longer.

I also noticed all their games and markets are no longer available, as though they’re shutting down their second website Cbet.gg, and moving entirely to Cgg.bet.br. I asked about this, and the cs rep told me it was just maintenance, but in his own words, when this maintenance would be over, they didn’t know.

I implore AskGamblers to assist in retrieving my balance from Cbet.gg as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Cbet Account blocked with no reason and money withheld
SCAM CASINO BETTING WEBSITE CBET cbet.gg is STEALING PLAYER FUNDS - $2,200 which is R38,000 Withheld From South African Player cbet username Sibonelo21

I am writing this detailed public complaint to expose the predatory and fraudulent practices of the online gambling site CBET cbet.gg. My case is not an isolated glitch; it is a deliberate and calculated scam known as grefunding—where an operator accepts your deposits, allows you to build a balance, and then invents a security pretext to permanently block your account and confiscate all funds.(proof on attached screenshots)

What Happened The Grefunding Script

1. Easy Deposits, No Problems: I deposited my own money without issue, betting mostly on sports. Over time, I managed to build my balance through winnings to R38,000 South African Rand approximately 2,200 USD. This money was not just for play; I had immediate plans to use it to settle pressing personal debts that have been a significant burden.(proof in screenshots attached)
2. The Withdrawal Trigger: The moment I attempted to access my winnings, the problems began. My account was suddenly and permanently blocked without warning or explanation.(proof in screenshots attached)
3. The Complete Shutdown: I was locked out completely—unable to log in, withdraw, or even speak to live support from my account. Their live chat is the only form of contact, as they NEVER respond to emails, even after explicitly promising to do so.
4. The Standard Lie: When I finally contacted support from a new device, I was given the canned, fraudulent response: For security reasons, your account has been permanently blocked... our security team will send you a detailed explanation via email. This email, of course, never exists. It is a stall tactic designed to frustrate victims into giving up.(proof in screenshots attached(conversation with Lucia))

This is a Global Business Model Built on Exploitation:
CBET,and many offshore casinos like it, operate on a simple formula:

· Global Reach, Zero Accountability: They happily accept players from around the world—Europe, North America, Africa—because they are licensed in jurisdictions like Curaçao with weak consumer protection.
· Preying on the Vulnerable: However, they are particularly predatory towards players in regions like Africa, South America, and parts of Asia. They exploit the fact that we have fewer reputable gambling commissions or legal avenues to fight back, betting that the cost and complexity will silence us. They rely on victims not knowing what grefunding is or how to expose it.
· The Universal Risk: Do not be fooled if you are from a first-world country. This is their standard procedure for any player who wins a substantial amount. Your location does not protect you from this scam; it only changes how hard you can fight back.

My Demand and The Purpose of This Post:
CBET is holding R38,000 of my money hostage.This is not bonus abuse or a security measure—it is theft.

· To CBET: Your actions are documented and publicly exposed. The evidence of your grefunding scam is now permanently attached to your brand name across multiple platforms.
· To All Players: DO NOT DEPOSIT HERE. If they did this to me, they will do it to you. Search for CBET scam or CBET withdrawal problems and you will find this and other stories.
· A Direct Offer to CBET: This complaint and all associated posts will remain active and be updated across every platform for as long as my money is withheld. If you reverse this fraudulent confiscation and allow me to withdraw my R38,000, I will promptly return to these threads, update them to reflect a resolved outcome, and acknowledge the settlement. As long as you are reading this, it means you have chosen theft over integrity.
