Payment declined and the withdrawal option on account has been temporarily suspended
I have a problem with Lapilanders Casino.
I have tried to withdraw my money from Lapilanders for a long time and the amount is 2457,22€. I have sent all the necessary documents to Lapilanders successfully and, after that, I tried to withdraw my money, but then Lapilanders replied to me as follows: "Dear Customer, We would like to inform you that your withdrawal has been canceled by the payments department and the amount is available in your account. Furthermore, the withdrawal option on your account has been temporarily suspended and your account shall be reviewed by the relevant department for security reasons. We kindly request your patience as we are not able to provide you with an exact time frame. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for helping us maintain a high level of security."
So I've been in a "security investigation" for a month. In my opinion, this is a very long time to wait and don't get any updates on the situation, since I have followed all the rules. I have asked for an update of the situation several times, but the answers from Lapilanders remain the same "Since the review is being conducted by another department we can't provide you with an exact time frame for its conclusion. We kindly ask for your Patience time-consuming."
I am hoping that the Askgamblers team can help us solve this problem.
Dear all,
Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details and/or proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that Lapilanders Casino management acted in accordance with their Terms and Conditions.
Based on the abovementioned information, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved and it is now officially closed.
While we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity. Also please be informed that as per our terms evidence shared within the process cannot be disclosed.

I am asking the same as the Askgamberls team. Can you provide a detailed explanation of the issue and all the relevant facts and information that could support your accusations against me?
I have not made anything wrong and I have followed the rules. Where is your proof that I have broken your rules? If regular sports betting is illegal on your site I don't understand what kind of sports betting company Lapilanders is? Are you a sports booking company or a scam company if this type of betting is illegal on your site? I am pretty sure that you just don't want to pay me my winnings and you have made up your accusations against me. It is easy to say that I "broke the rules" but where is your relevant proof relating to this situation? Scamming your customers is very profitable in the short run but not a very profitable strategy in a long run and you will eventually lose almost all your customers if you will continue this same strategy. You have made this same scam for several people on Lapilanders and Wallacebet (which is owned by the same company) Here are a couple of examples where you have stolen winnings from your customers:

https://forum.ylikerroin.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=55396&start=25 and here is a Finnish betting forum where Lapilander has used this same strategy where they have stolen winnings from their customers.
I hope that eventually, you will be fair to me in this situation because I have not done anything wrong and the amount you have stolen from me will be returned. Over 2000 € is a very big amount for me and it should not be this big amount for a betting company. A trustable betting company should not scam their customers for over 2000€.
I am kindly asking you, please send me proof of your accusations because I am pretty sure you don't have anything. I am hoping that we can solve this problem.
