why don't you mention the name of the gambling site? here no one will bother you as long as the complaint you submit is valid
if I were you, then I will continue to fight for $1200, I will comply with all the conditions required by the site (KYC), if I meet a dead end then asking a friend for help to withdraw the funds is the best last option, but you must also give him good money, appropriate as a thank you
That’s a lot of money in my country so I’ll definitely fight for it.
This is the risk of using VPN because you can’t know if your account will be ban or what, so better not to try to gamble if your living on a restricted country because you have no legal fight on that since its already stated on the terms and conditions. If your friend is willing to get expose, then why not, just keep trying.
