Fanatics (OpenBet) account suspension immediately after a winning streak

The signals.
- Fanatics users report selfie / ID scans failing repeatedly on sign-up.
- A separate account suspension immediately following a winning streak — with funds held and bank statements submitted but no resolution.
Consistent with the pattern of negative Fanatics / OpenBet sentiment tracked since February.
Why this matters. The "post-winning-streak suspension" is a specific fraud-investigation playbook problem that operators run into when their KYC + geo + risk stack is uncoordinated. Locator's lack of IP-change monitoring (May 5 test) and the absence of state-line buffer zones (50m state-switching at Fanatics TN) compound the post-win review pile.
Bigger pattern (May 5 monthly brief). KYC friction is now 23% of all end-user complaints in monitoring. Not a geo issue but creates halo damage: users conflate geo lockouts and KYC holds into a single "the app won't let me play" complaint.
