Hey @holydarkness, I know you're here as a volunteer and I truly appreciate all your help so far. Sorry for pressuring you, but this is really important to me. I was wondering if there are any developments in my case.
I've been thinking about this whole situation with Housebets, and something really struck me. They closed my account, citing my location in Portugal as the reason, claiming it violated their 'compliance obligations.' Yet, despite receiving my detailed complaints and evidence, they haven't taken any visible steps to prevent other players from Portugal from experiencing the same issue.
Here's what I find incredibly concerning:
Continued Access: Housebets continues to allow players from Portugal to register, deposit, and play on their platform. If my location is truly a compliance issue, why hasn't access been blocked?
No Terms Update: Their terms and conditions still don't list Portugal as a restricted country. This is despite them explicitly stating my account was closed due to my location.
Potential Baiting: This inaction leads me to believe they are intentionally baiting players from Portugal. They allow deposits and gameplay, knowing they can later close accounts and potentially withhold funds under the guise of 'compliance.'
Isn't this the very definition of a scam? They are essentially setting a trap for unsuspecting players. If they truly cared about compliance, they would have immediately blocked access from Portugal and updated their terms.
I'm sharing this thought because I believe it's important for other potential players to be aware of this potential bait-and-switch tactic. It's not just about my lost funds anymore; it's about preventing others from falling into the same trap.
Also, I'm still considering making the situation with Richard Hogg, CEO of Bridge Technologies B.V., public, as he threatened legal action regarding my alleged connection to housebets. If there's no progress soon, I'll need to escalate matters. Any updates or advice you have would be very helpful. Sorry for pressuring but it is really important to me.
