Polycore would not let me withdraw the signup balance without a $100 deposit

I saw an Instagram advertisement for Polycore/Polyx that offered a $1,000 signup promotion. The balance appeared after registration, but the withdrawal option was blocked.

The site required a $100 deposit before it would allow a withdrawal. That changed the offer from a signup promotion into a demand for a payment before the displayed funds could be accessed.

I would not deposit to unlock a promotional balance. A genuine bonus should have transparent terms and should not pressure users to send money before they can withdraw.
