Using localized versions of your services to comply with regional laws and enhance user experiences (i.e. make money) is SOP for practically every international $bigco. Online gambling is regulated and legal in ~50%-70% of the world; without actual evidence to the contrary, it’s completely reasonable to assume that this is a legitimate business. I’m really struggling to agree with the “two sides to every story” replies being left here about how there’s likely shady activity going on behind the scenes, when to me the post read as candid and transparent about the nature of the nature of the business, the admitted legitimacy of CF’s TOS violation claims against them, and the content of the communications with CF.

My 2c: It’s scummy that CF did this. It looks like they were disingenuous about the severity of the violations and used it as an excuse to get more $$$ from an already paying customer to make the manufactured problem go away.
