Let’s cut through the noise. [...]

I agree. This seems the most optimal approach.

In attempt to cut through all of these and get to the bottom of your situation, mind to tell us about your one and only referral? How do you get them to join Betcoin, how are you related to them, etc.?

Appreciation for cutting through the noise and actually asking a cogent question.

In explanation:
A public affiliate link I published was utilized by someone. I don't know them, they are not affiliated with me, and I never responded to them. Where they found the link in a group or somewhere else I have no clue. It was out there for the taking.

What I do know is the following:

Betcoin did follow through on that referral.

Paid me a $250 commission.

And then when it was time to pay out, they hit me with a made-up charge and shut the entire thing down.

No mention of what this "abuse" supposedly consisted of. No transparency. Just vague ToS boilerplate and, strangely, a claim that I "appeared in the referral's KYC" even though I never even submitted KYC myself.

They're clearly trying to retroactively justify seizing a payout they didn't want to pay out.

So that is the simple answer: I did not refer a friend, co-worker, or alt account.
A public link had been utilized in order to join. Betcoin took it, followed it, paid commission then withdrew it when it was convenient for them.

That is not fraud protection. That is theft.

So you posted that referral link of yours in... what, again? Your X? Instagram post? Telegram group chat? Or you're not sure because you basically just sow the seed everywhere you can, posted that link in every social media you have, and you happen to get one of the user of whichever forum or platform that is, to use your link?

I published the affiliate link in a few open internet spaces nothing in particular or personal. It was out there for whoever could see it, such as most affiliate links. I do not have one-click tracking, so I can not conclusively say where the user was from simply that Betcoin accepted the referral, awarded the commission, and later took it back without ever saying what rule supposedly had been broken.
