The player from British Columbia had had an issue with Betador Casino, which had allowed them to play despite their living in a restricted country. After meeting the wager requirements, the player tried to withdraw their winnings, but the casino suspended their account due to their location. The player had requested a refund of their 0.5 eth initial deposit. The player had been in contact with the casino's support three days prior and their account had been suspended a week ago. They had also contacted the licensing authority. The casino had reached out to the player and issued the refund. The issue had then been marked as resolved.

Casino let me play even though I was playing from a restricted country. I ended up playing enough for the 1x wager requirements and when I tried to withdraw, they said I was playing from a restricted account and suspended my account. I have opened a ticket and no answer yet. I just want my initial deposit amount back of 0.5 eth and will be more than glad to forfeit my winnings.

Dear altrine,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Betador Casino.
Our position on allowing players from restricted countries to deposit and play is explained in our Fair Gambling Codex here: https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#restricted-countries
"It is not acceptable to let players gamble if a casino knows that they are from a restricted country and if the casino plans to refer to the rule about restricted countries whenever a player requests their first withdrawal. This is completely against the rules of fair play, as the casino is knowingly letting a player wager money without a chance to actually win something in return."
I checked the casino website and there is no option to enter the country when creating a casino account or filling out the casino profile.
The restricted countries are purely mentioned in the terms and conditions:
"3.5 We do not intend for anyone to use the Online Casino/Sportsbook and/or the Website where such use is illegal. The availability of the Online Casino/Sportsbook and/or the Website does not constitute an offer or invitation by us to use the Online Casino/Sportsbook in any place in which such use is illegal. We don’t offer our services to residents from following country or territory: U.S.A., CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, S.A.R., PHILIPPINES, NORWAY, IRELAND, BRAZIL, HUNGARY, NETHERLANDS, ARMENIA, KAZAKHSTAN and SPAIN."
When was the last time you were in contact with casino support and when was your account blocked?
If you have saved any correspondence with the casino please forward it to my email at tomas@casino.guru
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Tomas

I opened a ticket around 3 days ago and the live chat agent said they would help me resolve it but I have not heard from them since.
My account was suspended around a week ago after I had tried to KYC and and had been rejected. They told me to contact support but all I got was that I was not allowed to play on their site but no mention of any refund for my deposits.
I had not filled in my profile before playing any casino games as I was using it for sportsbetting.
