I asked her were this is advertise cause i have never seen anything regarding this. i also asked her if it is illegal how can Standardbank allow funds to go out to a online gambling site but cant give me my money and she couldnt give me an answer. She never gave me a refrence nr after a month I phoned standardbank back and they said the money has been released to the Reserve bank. Please help how can they alllow money to go out but not pay me
