What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
Played for over 5 years, recently won a large tournament for hundreds of dollars, and my account was locked and closed and all my money confiscated. The below e-mail is what I got:
"Hi, thank you for your e-mail. Our security system is showing strong indications that you have been using external software in our games. This forced us to initiate a manual investigation which could confirm this suspicion. This is not only unfair to our other users but also a breach of our terms & conditions. We have therefore decided to donate your winnings to Freeroll tournaments. Kind regards, Bruno King.com / Abuse & Security"
Here is a link to the terms and conditions: [url=http://games.king.com/account/termsAndConditions.jsp]Play Free Online games at King.com[/url]
Situation: I haven't been using software to gain an advantage, therefore, they can not possibly have any proof. They illegitimately withheld my winnings, as well as money I deposited. They are not a US company, I am a US citizen. Do I have ANY recourse?
Regards,
Rahn  |
