Investigation Update
As we mentioned earlier, there has been an ongoing investigation into this matter. Based on what we’ve found so far, the user’s account is directly linked to a broader fraud case involving multiple users engaged in collusion, tip funneling, abuse of sports betting, and attempts to hide the movement of funds through staged duels with linked accounts. This is documented in an internal report, and we’re happy to share relevant portions of it if needed.
So far, the following red flags and violations have been identified:
● Account was less than 24 hours old at time of betting
● Bets placed through
proxy IPs and known datacenter/server IP ranges, masking true location and identity
● Multi-accounting behavior matching others in the active case
● Immediate access to sports betting with no prior gameplay
● Pattern suspected to be consistent with
exploitation of mispriced odds — a known abuse vector, often accompanied by playing random games to generate misleading activity logs and conceal the true source of profits
● Flagged independently by our sports provider’s compliance team, who monitor this behavior across many platforms
There seems to be some confusion around why multi-accounting is such a big issue, so here’s a quick clarification.
Multi-accounting makes it much harder to detect fraud, helps users get around limits, and gives an unfair edge—especially in sports betting, where your identity, betting history, and patterns matter a lot. When you mix that with proxies and fast, high-risk activity, it becomes a serious concern not just for us, but for the provider and every other platform they support.
Multi-accounting in online casinos can also facilitate money laundering and other illicit schemes—via purchased or hacked accounts—and thus represents a red flag not just under our policy, but under federal law. This is especially true when coupled with attempted high cash-outs and strange or erratic play patterns.
According to our provider, the estimated fraud rate this month alone is 5.68%, with a rolling 12-month average of 7.16%. This highlights just how widespread and serious these issues have become across the network. Please also review the attached screenshots which support this data. We’re also happy to share them privately if needed, as they are pulled from a sensitive internal dashboard.
The current restrictions will remain in place. We are open to releasing the balance once the user fully complies with verification. However, the connections to the ongoing case and confirmed violations justify our current actions entirely.
We’d also like to point out that in a previous case, Techie, the very same Sythe moderator currently reviewing this matter, stated the following regarding Binance freezing funds:
"Considering the logs provided and previous report regarding this situation, this was up to the Binance platform which believes that the funds were not lawfully possessed. @GamzrRokov If you'd like to seek resolution, I'd recommend taking it up with Binance themselves as we do not have jurisdiction over them. As @Zora stated previously." (
Chicks/Binance dispute)
We respectfully ask that the same logic be applied here. Just as Sythe cannot force Binance to unfreeze funds during an AML review, we believe the same respect should be extended to us. We are simply following the same principles of fraud prevention and compliance. We should not be treated differently for enforcing policies that align with what Sythe has previously recognized as valid.
