We replied once on our thread, once on the sportsbook ratings thread and we will reply once here. We have already spent far more time and money dealing with this matter than the very small amount in his account.
The account was closed at the time the sports provider independently confirmed and advised us that he was using banned technology to achieve his wins. He made 1 deposit of 0.005 BTC and had successful withdrawals of 0.005 BTC, 0.005 BTC, 0.00147567 BTC and 0.03 BTC prior to the notification. In this case, the deposit does not need to be returned, as the player has already received 8x that amount in withdrawals.
This shouldn't even be in scam accusations. The amount we have paid him is more than what was in his account when it was closed. If this was a scam, we would not have paid him anything to begin with. Why would we possibly scam $300 from someone when we have paid tens of thousands in promos this year? The reputational damage alone is worth more than that, but we need to stand tall against abusive players so they get the message.
This is not a scam accusation, this is a dispute, and our sports provider has evidence that he has violated our terms of service. We have informed the player that we will submit evidence to a 3rd party mediator of his choice and abide by their decision. He has not done that. Instead he has been ranting on forums for a week. The last guy who did an accusation submitted and lost. We are confident that will be the case here, as well, if he decides to go forward.
