I understand what you are trying to say . but Imagine if Stake Paid him his deposit Back . Like Ok Man you tried to Scam Us and Book on a Rigged Market We catched you so here your deposit back and will Void the bet . (It will be like a slap in the wrist ) and encourage all other shady bettors to try to do the same risk free if they caught they lose nothing if they not caught they cashout.
you should understand from the point of view of a huge business and bookie like Stake .
based from the news i read it was some American Bookie who raised red flags about that Betting line and there was a huge flow of money from a lthousands of accounts(since there bet limits) so who knows if the OP was one of those accounts?
Iwould say for the OP you are lucky you are not in the US right now and you didnt Use a US Bookie . they dont play games in there you would end up being investigated by the FBI
add to it the Shohei Ohtani and his his translator Scandal last month they are serious about investigating such things.
It's not what you said above, you said that even if he bet on a rigged game by pure chance, he should accept the decision and move on, because the case is already over according to you, while it would have nothing to do with trying to scam anyone. Now you claim he's a cheater so he deserves to lose his deposit and to be arrested by the FBI, it's not the same thing at all. If he didn't cheat it's none of his business how the casino manages cheaters and tries to afraid them, and he shouldn't lose $45k because of some casino business politics.
What I'm saying is Stake will not change that decision even if the player went to Gibraltar where stake have paper regulaTory to sue them.
Because even if the player prove 99% he have nothing to do with the game being rigged and stake have 1% still stake is thebpartybwith power and the one holding the funds
Since the game proven rigged Stake will not even care whatever the player did. Even if he is in the right side and stake in the wrong there nothing can be done and no legal decision will affect stake. Also they are so big that they don't care the reputation in a forum or even in askgambler.
Beside that maybe they don't even know the player exist as there hundreds of same accounts on The same game . They bring banned. By the way it's only a little of people who come to bitcointalk a lot of others like 98% doesn't come to bitcointalk to open a a scam accusasion
.
I said for the player to move on because there nothing he can do. If he hire a lawyer ( he might get scammed again by those Gibraltar iffshore lawyers ) they can do nothing.
If Stake was a small casino and worrying about losing a few customers they might care. . . .
