Closed account and unjustly confiscated winnings


Hello!
My account at Betfinal.com had been completely verified, and I ordered withdrawals of $150 (19th of July) and $300 (21st of July). The balance left on my account after those withdrawals was about $500-600. A few days later I found out, that my account was suspended, because my country was added to the list of restricted countries:
‘Access denied. Your country is Russia. Unfortunately we cannot service customers from your country of residence’.
And Betfinal Casino has initiated the procedure of money payback, which took them a month (!). As the result I have received yesterday $127 from them to my Skrill account. I do not understand, what is it - this amount of money, I have ordered withdrawals of $150 and $300, plus the balance of my account was $500-600. So I had to receive $900-1000, but not $127!
Betfinal support answer: "Hello Alexey.We have now refunded your deposits please."
But I want ALL my winning, not only 127$. In June I made deposit more than 450$ to Betfinal so 127$ (refund from Betfinal) less than 450$ too.
Please, also pay your kind attention to the fact, that for the date of my registration at Betfinal.com (June 2017), Russia was not in the list of restricted countries. That means, I had not broken any rules, and if they decided at once to exclude my country, they must pay back all my money.
Moreover, at the moment there is no Russia in the list of restricted countries in their Terms&Conditions:
’43. Betfinal does not accept customers residing in Australia, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Spain, Israel, UK and United States’. http:/­/he­lp.b­et­fin­al.c­om­/te­rms­-an­d-c­ond­itions/
I kindly ask you to help in my situation, and force Betfinal Casino to pay back all money from my account!

The decision to close your website for gamblers from Russia has been made 26th of July 2017 - I have received the announcement about it exactly 26th of July (please, see the screenshot attached). Before that date gamblers from Russia had been welcomed, and no limitations had ever been applied (otherwise , I could not register as a Russian resident, could I?).
Accordingly , you must pay me ALL I had won up to 26th of July 2017!
I ordered the withdrawal of $150 19th of July 2017 - I have got nothing yet.
I ordered the withdrawal of $300 21st of July 2017 - I have got nothing yet.
Plus I have $500 in the balance of my account. After you had announced the restriction for gamblers from Russia and closed my account, I have got only $127 from you.
All money I had received before 26th of July is my legal win, and can not be considered as a paid part of your debt to me.
I demand you to pay me back ALL money, mentioned above, in 3 banking days. Otherwise, I am calling to Curaçao and claiming your license revocation.
Thank you!

Blocked account and not responding to emails
Had my account blocked for logging in from my work computer that had to be on a VPN and completely stopped communicating with me. I have emailed numerous times to try and get paid the $19,700 balance that I have in the account to no avail. The terms (section 1.6) do not clearly state that use of VPNs are not allowed and unless used to access their site from an illegal country or to mask your current actual location which is not the case for my account at all. My account has been fully verified, including my proof of residence. This is just another Curacao book that will look for any reason not to pay legitimate winners. It's a great site if you are looking to just go casually lose some money but if you win don't expect to be treated well and you absolutely run the risk of not getting paid.

Please see below for the only mention of VPN service in their terms:

6. Access to certain Services on the Website may not be legal for some or all residents of or persons present in certain countries. We do not intend that the Website and Services be used by persons in countries in which such activities are illegal. It is the Customer’s responsibility to make sure to not use a VPN, proxy or similar service that masks or manipulates the identification of your real location, or by otherwise providing false or misleading information regarding your location or place of residence. Betfinal.com reserves the right to ask for proof of address from clients and to suspend their account until satisfactory documentation is provided.

I am located in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada, which is a legal country. I have never tried to access Betfinal (or any other web site for that matter) from outside of Canada. The VPN service on my work computer was a forced security precaution because I worked for a Financial Institution and was forced to work from home during a pandemic. I have adhered to all their requests and answered all their questions honestly, yet they have blocked my account, stolen my legitimate winnings, and refused to answer my emails.

Payment delayed with no further info nor contact
I can't log in to my account for 3 weeks now. I requested a withdrawal but I have never received it. I have (had) about 700 EUR balance.
They replied the following: "This message is caused by technical changes by our provider and currently appears for each and every account. We are working under high pressure on a quick solution. However, we are at this point unable to answer when this will be the case."

"While Christmas just passed and the New Year is around the corner we would like to update you regarding the status of our technical upgrades.

As you already noticed, Betfinal has been unavailable for customers residing in certain countries. The background of this was an unexpected change on provider side. As you can imagine, this has caused a lot of issues for us in the worst possible time of the year.

We however have tackled the issue and are in the final steps to provide all our customers with a solution in the first week of January no matter in which country you are residing.

Please accept our apologies for the delayed updating, but our support team is doing their best to cope with the amount of requests and to answer all emails.

Please also note, that all pending withdrawals are taken care of and if you wish to request a withdrawal of your funds in your account, you will be able to do so shortly. Unfortunately it is not possible to process any withdrawals upon email request.

We wish you a great start into the new year 2019 and will get you updated at our earliest."
