I placed a winning bet on the Goldenbets site and wanted to withdraw my earnings. However, I was told I needed to provide a commercial invoice, or else I would be fined because the bank account is in my name. Then they claimed that to complete the withdrawal, I must deposit ₺3317, which would supposedly be refunded along with my winnings.
This situation felt suspicious, but they insisted that if I delayed the withdrawal, I could face legal penalties from MASAK, ranging from ₺20,000 to ₺300,000. Their pressure tactics made me extremely anxious, and I now feel financially and emotionally manipulated. I’ve already lost trust in the platform and don’t know whether this is a scam or a real issue others have faced.
I demand an official explanation, a refund of my winnings without any additional payment requirement, and confirmation of the platform’s legal compliance.
