What is the protection period and why does it vary?

Why money stays held after delivery.

Some platforms let the original owner reclaim an account through the old email or support. Your money therefore stays held for a period matched to each platform’s risk: from 7 days for Telegram channels up to 60 days for some games. Re-check points During the period we ask you to confirm ownership on set days (e.g. day 7, 15 and 30). A quick screenshot is enough. If you get a security email from an old address or lose access, open a dispute immediately: the funds freeze until it is resolved.
