Is this how Bitcoin blockchain is actually working, or someone is scamming here?

Is this how Bitcoin blockchain is actually working, or someone is scamming here?

Check out the case happened to me today. Is this really how the blockchain is working or someone is scamming here?

Let me explain what happened.

I was doing my regular research before playing at crypto casino and asked the support agent about the minimum withdrawal limits and withdrawal fees. Here is an answer:

The support agent said, that there is no withdrawal fee deducted from the withdrawal, there is only a blockchain fee that might be applied.

So after making a deposit here is what I see:

Network transaction fee: 0.0005424 BTC (this is 25 USD at the current rate)

So I decided to ask the support about this:

The support agent said, that this fee is not something that the casino is taking, but this is what they pay once they send the transaction.

After playing a while I have requested my withdrawal

The max amount I was able to request was the current balance minus the 0.0005424 BTC fee.

The payment was processed and the casino has sent me a link to the transaction hash. Here is the fee that my withdrawal was sent with, only 0.00000715 (0.34 USD):

I have asked the support why my withdrawal was sent with a much lower transaction fee. Here is an answer:

and one more:

the final of the conversation:

So here is what happened:

  • Before I made the deposit the support agent stated that there is no fee deducted by the casino, only network fee
  • Casino deducts 25 as a fee on the withdrawal
  • Casino sends the withdrawal with a 0.34 USD fee
  • Support states that this is how the blockchain works and that my 25 USD fee was deducted before
  • The deducted fee was literally stolen by the casino

What do you guys think about this? For me it looks like a total scam.
