Verification issues
Dear Sir/Madam,
My mother (age 65) sold property for €110,000 in order to purchase an apartment in Cyprus as her sole source of future rental income, as she currently receives no pension. Of this amount, approximately €80,000 was transferred to me. During this period, I deposited €5,000 at Bitstarz.com and successfully generated winnings of approximately €20,000. Despite repeatedly requesting withdrawal, Bitstarz unjustifiably delayed payment. I possess full written correspondence confirming these delays.
I have a diagnosed mental health condition (schizophrenia). During this clearly documented period of medical vulnerability—and while Bitstarz was withholding my winnings—I unfortunately continued gambling and ultimately lost the entire €80,000, along with additional funds. I currently receive €850 per month in disability benefits, leaving both my mother and myself in severe financial hardship.
Furthermore, at the time part of the funds were lost, my account had already been excluded/banned by Bitstarz, including during the period when money needed to pay for my sister’s flight from South Africa to Cyprus was lost. Bitstarz initially confirmed my exclusion and later reactivated my account regardless. I hold emails proving the exclusion, delayed €20,000 winnings, and Bitstarz’s written apologies regarding payout delays.
Bitstarz / Gareton B.V. bears clear responsibility due to:
* Unjustified withholding of winnings
* Failure in duty of care to a medically vulnerable player
* Allowing gambling activity on an excluded account
* Negligent operational conduct
Had Bitstarz released the winnings promptly, the subsequent gambling losses would not have occurred.
Bitstarz has previously made direct transfers to my Bank of Cyprus account (including €4,000.00 and €911.91), proving transaction traceability.
Without prejudice, I remain open to an amicable settlement. The outstanding sum is €110,000 (128,877.33 USDT). If full settlement is not received within seven (7) days, I will proceed with legal action seeking €250,000 without further notice. All rights reserved.
For clarity: I believe I may have attempted to submit a copy of my South African passport around the time my account was excluded regarding my sister’s travel issue. However, this was never part of a completed or approved KYC process. No full KYC was submitted or verified.
Bitstarz now claims I completed full KYC under the name **George Antoni**. I hereby request that Bitstarz provide the full South African KYC profile they allege to possess, including:
* Proof of residence in South Africa
* Any and all supporting verification documentation
* Any internal verification logs confirming approval
Previously, when this matter was reviewed elsewhere, Bitstarz only produced a passport copy and the case was improperly closed. Therefore, I insist that complete documentation be provided.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
Georgios
