It's as per OP's request, for his wager to be returned while waiting for investigation to be done instead of getting it returned plus or minus winning following a verdict.
I conveyed the request to Shuffle and they agreed.
My point being why would they do it? If there was scam activity going on, why would they return the deposits while the investigation was still ongoing? They should have allowed the investigation to be completed and then take a course of action. It is a highly unusual step that might be rare or never have happened before in this forum.
Umm... there might be a bigger and more complex story here. Noah just begin giving me his side of the puzzle to piece together..
That is true. Having said that, I hope you press him on the following.
The OP and ndumm (Noah) have gambled away from the forum and are known to each other. He unfairly and probably illegally seized control of the OPs Shuffle account until they settled a private poker debt unrelated to Shuffle. Noah also did the same to a friend of the OP in order to blackmail him. This immediately raises alarms.
Also, if Stake have stated that particular event had zero flags or concerns from the sports provider, why did Shuffle cite it as an excuse to withhold payment owed to the OP?
I would like to know what Shuffle/Noah have to present as a counter argument.
Despite spending thousands in advertisement, Shuffle might be shooting themselves in the foot by making shady decisions. Not a smart move in the long run. Let me wait for the full part of the story on either sides.
I am not impressed with the Shuffle owner blocking the account of the OP because he had to pay a debt that was between them playing poker privately (not even on the Shuffle website). It seems in order to blackmail the OP, it Noah even blocked the account of the OPs friend. If true, this is completely unacceptable conduct.
