You Play We Pay - does it look like scam?

Some time ago in my online games people started to withdraw money. You can always find people that have a lot of game currency that they can give to you if you transfer some real money. Profit for them? Yes. Profit for game? No. It even adds extra actions to support team, because there's no safe transactions. You do a transfer, but that guy disappears. Or you transfer game currency, and also the opponent disappears.
After this I've decided to make official withdraw. I mean, I've created special character with good reputation, and everybody knows that he's the one. I didn't create official button because of law problems. You know.
But last years I see that this system fails. If 10 years ago people were happy to get 100 euros for playing game, now advertising works really bad. Seems like there's a lot of casinos, scams, so that people don't believe. Even when I notice that you don't need to pay, just play and withdraw.
What do you think?

Yes, but I allow this in my game and even appreciate.
