What this usually looks like
A withdrawal is requested and then stalls. The operator asks for the same verification documents repeatedly, cites a term you were never shown, reclassifies your winnings as a bonus breach, or simply stops responding. In some cases the balance disappears from the account entirely.
This is the most common claim we assess. It is also the one where evidence quality decides most - dated screenshots of the balance and the withdrawal request are often the difference between a case we can build and one we cannot.

Questions about this claim type
My account was closed before I could screenshot anything. Can you still help?
Possibly. Bank records, emails and support transcripts often reconstruct enough of the picture. Tell us what you have in the check.
The operator says I breached a bonus term.
That claim has to be evidenced by the operator against the terms that applied on the date you played. We assess whether it holds up.
Does checking cost anything?
No. The check and the dossier assessment are free. SBGOK.com is paid only if money is recovered.
