Dear Customer,
We are writing in response to your recent public complaint, which contains several factually incorrect statements. We feel it is necessary to set the record straight and provide a clear, factual account of the situation, grounded in the Terms and Conditions you agreed to upon registration.
1. Correction of Factual Inaccuracies:
Allegation of "Fake Identity": Your claim that we accused you of using a "fake identity" is false. Your account was successfully verified using the driver's license you provided. The issue was never with the authenticity of your personal identification documents.
Allegation of "Confiscation": The term "confiscate" is misleading. As per our Terms and Conditions, when a serious breach is identified, we are entitled to void winnings and withhold funds. This is a contractual action, not a confiscation.
2. The Actual Reason for Account Action: Collusion and Abuse of Service
The action taken on your account was a direct result of a detailed investigation by our dedicated Trading and Risk departments. The investigation uncovered clear and undeniable evidence that your account was involved in collusion as part of a coordinated group, in direct violation of our Terms and Conditions.
Specifically, your activities breached the following clauses:
Section 2.4 & 2.5: One Account Per Player. Our systems identified that your account was linked to a network of other accounts, demonstrating coordinated activity that violates the principle of individual play.
Section 13: Account Termination. This section grants us the right to void winnings and withhold the balance if a player has "engaged in collusion, cheating, [or] fraudulent activity," or has "not played solely for personal entertainment... or participating as part of a club or group."
Collusion, which involves players working together to gain an unfair advantage, is a serious violation that undermines the integrity of our platform and the fair experience for all customers. The action taken was a standard and necessary measure to protect our service and our legitimate customer base.
3. Our Final Goodwill Resolution – Which was Offered to You Already
While we firmly uphold our decision regarding the forfeiture of winnings derived from the identified collusive activity, we believe in ultimate fairness.
As a final goodwill gesture, and to demonstrate our commitment to transparency, we have already offered to refund the total amount of your deposited funds.
This means you will be returned the entirety of the capital you deposited into your account. You will not lose a single penny of your own money.
This refund is offered without admission of any error on our part regarding the terms violation, but as a clear signal that we value fair dealing above all else.
Conclusion
Your public claims are a misrepresentation of the facts. The delay in your initial verification was acknowledged and resolved. The subsequent and more serious action on your account was a direct and justified response to uncovered collusion and coordinated activity, which represents a material breach of our agreed Terms and Conditions.
This decision, based on clear evidence, is final.
Sincerely,
The PlaceBet Team
