Scam Reports Degen.com Active 105 views View on BitcoinTalk
What happened:: I created an account on Degen.com and deposited funds using USDT (ERC20). I only placed regular bets on major League of Legends tournaments, mainly the MSI, using common markets such as total kills and match winner.

After winning several bets, When i try to withdraw Degen.com liquidated all of my winnings, claiming "sports betting abuse." They have not provided any evidence or a specific explanation of what I supposedly did wrong. Instead, they only quoted generic sections of their Terms of Service related to fraud, arbitrage, and betting abuse.

I have never used bots, arbitrage, or any unfair betting strategy.  https://imgur.com/a/vwKXfVt These are the bets I placed.

Imgur gives users of Tor browser and VPNs hard time.

This is the kind of case that is so hard to get resolved here, and you might need to use arbitration from a third party service. They are obviously not going to share all the specifics of their investigation to the public.

As an avid Esports bettor myself i can confirm there is nothing suspicious about those 6 bets

They are all on Tier 1 League of legends tournament with the biggest teams where there is no chance if any fixing etc

Degen representative is pretty active here so i hope they can check and respond

Unless u had more beta you did not show or a multi account, this shouldnt have happened

PM logs says his account has been locked by betby, so maybe its because of some other actions done on another sportsbook

Almost every site uses betby nowadays so very difficult to get away from pulling an abuse on one site and then simply switching to another site

I sided with OP in beginning but after seeing the char log more closely, there must be something OP has done and its not the bets shown in the screenshot

Hi all, thanks for the tag, happy to give our side here.

Over the past few weeks we've seen a wave of newly created accounts following the same cycle: deposit, place a specific pattern of sports bets, withdraw, and repeat. We flagged this activity to our sportsbook provider, who reviewed the accounts involved and identified the OP's account as part of this pattern of sportsbook abuse.

We understand it's frustrating not to get a detailed breakdown, but we can't publicly share the specifics of how this type of activity is detected, as doing so would only make it easier to repeat. What we can share are the numbers:

- Only the winnings from the flagged activity were confiscated, which was $108, not the player's deposits.
- In total, the OP deposited $358.50 and withdrew $468.36, meaning they left Degen in overall profit despite the confiscation.

Our goal isn't to punish anyone, it's to stop abuse from continuing. We never want to get in the way of players genuinely enjoying Degen, but once our provider flags an account, we have to act.

The OP is welcome to reach out to our support team if they'd like to discuss their account further.

Payouts at one sportsbook have nothing to do with payouts from a different book even with the same provider. Each book can customize payouts on value bets. Some may pay in full and limit. The limit at each book can be different. We have to stop allowing sportsbooks to confiscate money because of same provider. Most people don’t check provider. It’s stealing and we have to stop enabling this practice.

The provider can auto limit based on the book’s setting. The provider doesn’t take the money. There have been many cases in the last few months where books went against the provider recommendation.

There is no need for arbitration if books MUST listen to providers.
