I apologize for any misunderstanding.
If you were to deposit using a third-party deposit into a legitimate online casino, your account would be blocked, and funds most likely confiscated. I recommend you never deposit into an online casino using a payment method belonging to someone else, because it's universally prohibited. Online casinos are prohibited from paying winnings originating from a third-party deposit.
In your case, however, the website overlooked the issue entirely, and their solution was to simply request another deposit from you.
This is unheard of behaviour in legitimate online casinos. As explained in our article, requesting a deposit for the purpose of paying taxes is nonsensical. Tax is paid by the operator in some jurisdictions without involvement of the player, or by the player directly to the tax office in your jurisdiction. It's never transferred from the player to the casino.
Sadly, our role will not further beyond educating you about the practices of scam websites, as any efforts in recovering winnings or deposits won't be possible.
I recommend you contact law enforcement and report the website as a scam as the next step, and cease contact with the website as well.
