Account Suspension and Lockout: Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Why was my account suspended?
Sporttrade may suspend an account if it appears to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions, or if we detect activity that could be a security risk. Common reasons for suspension include:
-
Suspected fraudulent activity (includes multiple failed deposits)
-
User‑set cool‑off periods
-
Exclusions or state‑mandated self‑exclusions
If you believe your suspension is an error, contact our customer support team for help.
❓ How can I withdraw funds if my account is suspended or locked?
If your account is suspended or locked, you can still request a withdrawal of available funds. To do so, reach out to our customer support team, and we’ll guide you through the process.
❓ What are some examples of security‑related suspensions?
Accounts may be suspended for security reasons if we detect activity that appears unusual or potentially fraudulent, such as:
-
Multiple login attempts with an incorrect password
-
Repeated failures to provide a valid Multi‑Factor Authentication code
-
Login attempts from different devices or locations within a short time frame
-
Unusual patterns in deposit or withdrawal activity
-
Multiple failed deposit attempts within a short period
❓ What is a cool‑off period, and can it be canceled?
A cool‑off period is a user‑set restriction that prevents access to an account for a chosen length of time.
-
Once activated, it cannot be shortened or canceled.
-
Sporttrade cannot override or undo a cool‑off period.
❓ What are state‑mandated exclusions (e.g., DGE exclusions)?
Sporttrade complies with state regulations and may be required to suspend accounts if an individual is listed on a state exclusion list. Here are a few examples:
-
New Jersey (DGE): According to the Casino Control Act (N.J.S.A. 5:12‑71), Sporttrade must honor the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) exclusions.
-
Colorado: The Colorado Division of Gaming Sports Betting Rule 9 allows the state to suspend your account if you are on the DGE exclusion list.
-
Arizona: The Arizona Department of Problem Gambling maintains a confidential self‑exclusion database. Sporttrade and other operators must honor this list.
-
Iowa: The Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission (IRGC) operates a voluntary exclusion program for individuals wishing to exclude themselves from gambling activities.
