Hello,
My name is Stefan Mihai Oprea , i am from Galati, Romania and i have a very bad issue with bwin.com.
I opened my bwin account on 14/04/2009. Since than i have made like 6 deposits to them with a totally value of RON 2301.41 into my bwin account.
In this time i was enjoying placing bets , playing at casino , poker and minigames . From 2301, my winnings arrived to RON 12700(like 3000 Euro). In a weekend i was loosing on tenis 5200 RON and in my account that day was a balance of 7500RON. I said to cash the money because i was afraid to not lose more , i love tenis but was a lot of surprises this year so, i stopped. I made a payment request of 7000RON and in about 5 minutes my account was closed. I've sent a complaint to bwin support asking why my account was closed and i received this email:

So , i don't have any explanation from them, i will not get back my bwin account, i will not get any response from the support from now and even i will not get my money back!!
So my account was disabled without further notice and without any apparent justification, in contradiction with the terms and conditions of Bwin!
The final explanation received does not contain any specific information and the reference to the appropriate authorities amount to a violation of Article 205(1) of Act No. 1960-17 (Criminal Offences Act, Gibraltar).
I am guilty because i was winning??
I just saw in a romanian forum that a guy solved his case only when he went in austria and paid a visit to bwin. He was writing that they are like 30 persons in that building and there are plenty of firms , not just bwin . So if bwin have 30 employees in austria, 30 in gibraltar and 30 in denmark, i understand why they have so many problems with responding on messages, and solve the issues. But i think the only way they solve they look on accounts and say , hmmm this guys won , let's cut some accounts today.. other i can't understand how ??? It's plenty of complaints over the internet , and they are acting like Saints..
Please help me with this issue, i had never cheated and i don't know any method to cheat on casino , bets or poker.
I really intend to put Justice solve this case , and make complaints to all possible authorities , because what Bwin do: it is 100% Illegal! And i don't exclude to make a trip in Gibraltar to solve this case, if i don't solve this case in a nice way for bouth parts.
Thank you very much and please forgive my mistakes , but english is not my first language , not even second. I wait for your advices what to do, thank you!
