refund of ppoints

I have been informed that I lost to someone who violated Lichess TOS, but I have no idea which game this refers to and when it happened. How do I find out ?
It's not really intended that you find out. Lichess very much tries to avoid putting cheaters in any kind of limelight and I guess also avoids explicitly accusing cheaters publicly for legal reasons, so you can never really know for certain anyway. But I guess if you really want to know, you can probably find the game with reasonable certainty by looking through your match history.

Not really sure though what you'd gain from that. Even if you find the game, you won't know whether they actually cheated in that game or got banned for other reasons and chances are that if you didn't notice anything from the game, you won't really be able to find the telltale signs anyway. You can't see the same information as mods so there's a pretty good chance you'll just see something like "oh, they had 0 mistakes, ofc they were cheating, how didn't I realize that" when in reality, the real sign was something completely different.
of course you can find out. Just go to your game history and scroll back in time hovering over your opponents' name. When the red TOS message comes up you have found the last player to be banned that you have played.

Will be fairly recent as anything too long ago and you would not have received a refund. Responder #2 is of course correct that he may not have broken TOS during your game.
I now know who my opponent was and I was playing him in a 4NCL competition which I paid to enter , so it might have consequences for me, i e who I get drawn against in the next round.
I doubt whether it's wise to pay for a competition which is only prone to attract cheaters even beyond the usual ...
