As a brief introduction, a few weeks ago I opened an account on the CryptoLeo.com website, made a deposit using cryptocurrency (TRX), and started placing sports bets. During that time, I made several deposits and two withdrawals totalling approximately $1,000. However, in mid-January I was asked to verify my account in order to process a third withdrawal of around $1,200 (5k TRX).
I had no issue providing all the required documents—a photo of my ID card, proof of address, and documentation confirming all deposits made in January. After a few days, my account was successfully verified, as evidenced by the screenshots below (#Cryptoleo – verified account; #Cryptoleo – mail regarding verified account). Despite this, the withdrawal was not processed, and I was informed that I needed to wait up to 24 hours for its approval.
A few days later, during a live chat session, I was again told that the withdrawal would be reviewed within 24 hours. Unfortunately, that period passed without the transfer being made. Instead, I received an email stating that the previously verified documents had been rejected and that I was required to submit additional information—specifically, a completed SOWQ questionnaire regarding the source of funds and a business account statement for the past six months (as a self-employed individual, I receive transfers to my business account, and only after taxation do the funds reach my personal account). After sending these documents, I was informed that they had been forwarded to the appropriate department and that I would receive a response soon.
Yesterday, when I attempted to log in to the casino’s live chat to inquire about the status of my case, I was surprised to find a message stating that my account had been deactivated (#Cryptoleo – account closure). I immediately sent an email to the casino asking why my account had been closed and what was happening with my funds. I received a reply, which is attached (#Cryptoleo – mail regarding account closure).
All I am seeking is the withdrawal of my funds (in 1200 USD that have been stolen by Casino, about 500 USD is my deposited amount)—I am not interested in maintaining the account, as I do not plan to continue gambling with this bookmaker.
