but apparently a gesture of goodwill in returning 0.05 BTC to you seemed sufficient to them.
Just to clarify it, they did return your deposit? May I ask if the Russian player was not allowed to play in the Playbetr? because if yes, even if you are a verified player but your country and other gambling site tighten the restriction in your country then I think you are still lucky that they still give back your deposit?
I think you should move this to scam accusation because even if its a gambling related, it still fits in scam accusation board
Well, this is not my story, but judging by the fact that OP used VPN for a long time until he was blocked for the first time, after which he managed to pass verification and apparently continued to play, after which he was accused of violating and blocked again.
