URGENT – Formal Refund Request for £4,500 in Unauthorised Transactions
Dear Betride Support Team,
I am contacting you regarding approximately £4,500 worth of transactions linked to Betride that have been taken from my bank account without my authorisation.
My email account was hacked, and I believe someone used my personal details to make these payments without my knowledge or consent. I did not make or authorise these transactions, and I have never withdrawn or received any funds from Betride.
I have also noticed that the payments appear under different merchant names on my bank statement, making it difficult to identify that they are linked to your gambling platform. I am extremely concerned about how these transactions were processed and how my personal details were used.
My bank has already raised a formal dispute regarding these payments, but Betride has so far failed to respond appropriately. I expect this matter to be taken seriously and investigated urgently.
I am also concerned about the regulatory status of your gambling operation and whether it holds the appropriate UK gambling licence to provide services to UK customers.
I am requesting that you:
Refund the full £4,500 in disputed transactions to my original bank payment method.
Investigate how my personal details and compromised email account were used to make these payments.
Provide a full breakdown of all transactions associated with Betride, including every merchant name used to process them.
Confirm whether an account was opened or accessed using my personal details and provide relevant account and transaction records.
Respond directly to my bank's ongoing dispute and cooperate fully with its investigation.
I do not consider this matter resolved simply because payments were processed through your platform. I dispute these transactions and require a proper investigation into how they occurred.
Please treat this as an urgent complaint and respond in writing within 7 days of receiving this email. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will consider escalating the matter through my bank's dispute process and to the relevant regulatory and consumer protection authorities.
I would prefer to resolve this directly with you, but I expect Betride to take responsibility for investigating these transactions and to cooperate in returning the disputed funds where appropriate.
I look forward to your urgent response and confirmation of the steps being taken to resolve this matter.
Kind regards,
Ryan Elliott
