The freeze on withdrawals was a consequence of King being investigated by PayPal over how Royal Games operates in specific countries.
Royal Games, an online games portal owned by Candy Crush maker King, has come under fire from paying customers who have been unable to cash out their funds.
Royal Games is a web portal which hosts browser-based versions of popular King franchises such as Candy Crush, where players can pay a fee to enter tournaments, or play head-to-head games.
When contacted, PayPal confirmed to Eurogamer that it was investigating Royal Games, though could not comment on individual cases due to customer confidentiality.
