A: To pursue legal action against EGoGames for banning you and not processing your withdrawal of $28,350, first review the company's terms of service and user agreement. These documents often contain clauses related to dispute resolution, which can include arbitration or specific legal jurisdictions.

If the terms are favorable or if there are potential grounds to challenge them, consider filing a lawsuit for breach of contract. Your claim could be based on the company's failure to honor its obligations as outlined in the user agreement. Gather all relevant evidence, such as correspondence with the company and documentation showing your entitlement to the funds.

It's also important to evaluate the jurisdiction in which to file the lawsuit. Since EGoGames may operate internationally, identify where they are legally based and where they conduct business. This will influence where you can file your claim.

In addition, explore whether there are any consumer protection laws, both at the state and federal level, that may be applicable to your case. Such laws can sometimes offer additional avenues for recourse.

Lastly, consider seeking a preliminary injunction or other court order to prevent the company from distributing or otherwise disposing of the funds in question until the legal matter is resolved. This step can be crucial in ensuring that your funds remain recoverable.

Given the complexity and potential international aspects of this case, it may be wise to consult with an attorney experienced in international business law and gaming regulations. This will help navigate the specific legal challenges and jurisdictional issues involved in your case.
