I might've said this before but other gambling sites do the same thing, they'll usually mention parts of their rules but not show the proof of how they found the link between different accounts.
If you used a vpn maybe that could've caused the issue since they also locked mine (this was before they changed the site) but they were kind enough to let me go after I gave an explanation.
They're probably desperate to get new players because you wouldn't be given a second chance if the same scenario happens on other sites.
I might as well accept their offer to unblock my account by depositing (which is tbh beyond ridiculous to think about), but the fact that they took the balance in my account without any explanation is just non-sense.
Talking about VPN, I didn't use any VPN whatsoever, but I opened my account once in a computer shop where a network of PCs are connected to one internet modem (which I think could be the reason why they thought that my account was a duplicate of another account).
Very weird, I remember those scamming attempt I forget the actual scenario but the same with depositing before you can withdraw thing.
That's very unethical why ask for deposit if the account is under investigation? no sense at all just an attempt to lure the player, what if you deposited and then they've claim that you are cheating their system?
Another amount that you'll going to chased and it's more annoying.
