For the record, here's the e-mail I sent.
And I'll beat you all to the punch by admitting the "multiple hundreds of dollars of equity" was maybe a bit over the top considering the entire pot was like $300.

I think the fact that I've been on the site for nearly 3 years (though only recreationally for the first 2), and the fact that I threatened to leave made a difference, but whatever.

multiple hundreds of dollars of equity by directly and deliberately
breaking the rules he agreed to abide by after signing up.
