BetOnline account hacked Jan 14: email/pass changed, funds withdrawn, no help so far

[coach_jones85]

Posting here because I’m not getting traction through normal customer service channels and I’m hoping for guidance (and if any book reps/monitors are present, help getting this escalated).

I’m a long-time BetOnline customer (since 2017; VIP; mostly NCAA football sides/totals; no bonuses taken). Based on what BetOnline phone support told me, my account appears to have been taken over on Jan 14, 2026: the registered email/password were changed and withdrawal(s) removed virtually all funds (six figures USD). I’m avoiding personal identifiers publicly, but I can verify ownership privately immediately.

What happened (per BetOnline phone support)

After failing to log in online multiple times, on Jan 17, 2026 I spoke with two BetOnline customer service reps by phone. Both stated that on Jan 14:

• the registered email was changed (not by me)
• the password was changed (not by me)
• and withdrawal(s) were processed that same day

I received no notification to my original email and no phone/SMS alerts for an email change, password change, or withdrawal approvals.

Timeline

• Jan 17, 2026: Discovered I couldn’t log in; spoke with two customer service reps and sent my initial email report; was told it would be escalated to Security/Financial Services.
• Jan 21, 2026: Sent a detailed written report to Security/Financial Services requesting: account lock, a ticket/case number, withdrawal details (destination + TXIDs), audit trail, and preservation of logs.
• Jan 26, 2026: Called again seeking any update. General customer service told me the fraud investigation has been closed and they would provide no more details on the account.
• As of today: I still have no formal written response from Security/Financial Services, have not received any phone calls from them, and have not regained any access to the account.

What I’ve checked on my side

Since Jan 17 I’ve reviewed my sportsbook accounts, plus banking/financial/crypto/email accounts and device security (computer + phone). I’m not seeing suspicious activity elsewhere, and at the moment this seems isolated to my BetOnline account. What I’m hoping to learn here:

1. Has anyone had BetOnline change the registered email / allow withdrawals without notifying the original email/phone?
2. Any known way to escalate beyond standard support (a specific department contact, process, etc.)?
3. If the withdrawals were crypto: any advice on the fastest way to obtain TXIDs/destination when Security won’t respond?
4. Has anyone seen a cluster of similar reports recently (account takeover / credential changes / withdrawals)?

For any forum moderators/monitors or BetOnline staff: I can verify all details quickly via private message (account ID, timeline, documentation) so this can be escalated fast.

I’ll update this thread as things develop.

Sorry man, that sucks. I think you will be swimming upstream on this one. Yes, forensically getting to where & how the takeover occurred may give you some relief so that your other accounts are safe. Getting the funds back is a longshot. That is nature of crypto transaction. There is no source of authority that would be willing to help & do the things required to unmask the culprit. What bothers me the most is that there was NO email or text saying that the password has changed.

Thanks for the reply and positive energy. Agreed that retrieving funds may be a longshot; I still want to know the sequence of events to protect myself in whatever ways possible. Crazier, I still have zero access to the account whatsoever.

"What bothers me the most is that there was NO email or text saying that the password has changed."

I have received nothing whatsoever. The Support reps claimed an attempt at a phone call was made to me on January 14th (no pickup).

On a fundamental level, I do not understand how a fraud investigation could be "closed" without communicating with me directly.
