Ongoing Website/Password Error & Delayed Refund Website Update Since 25 Nov 2025

Starting 25 November 2025, after a website update, I tried to change my password but faced serious issues: OTP delays that made it impossible to proceed, and a critical error ('sequence contains no elements') when saving my new password. Two agents gave misleading advice: one suggested re-registering, and another promised a refund after resubmitting documents, which were approved. I am still waiting for the refund, having called again on December 5, 2025.

Please don't leave your money in your account because when they update their website, they ***** your money that has already been there. After winning, withdraw immediately, and if you deposit money, spend it all before they update their website and "*****" it from you.
