The problem is that the game has not a correct moves history. Perhaps you could follow the procedure to recreate the history. With that, you can check and verify that no 3-fold repitition took place. Then you should use 'send feedback' (see bottom of page) and describe the problem. It must be bug then. The admins can verify that no draw offer was made/accepted.

Thank you all for your help.
Not wishing to be judgemental, but your opponent can't 'take this option' as you have to repeat your moves 3 times for it to happen. A draw by repetition is either an agreement between both players, or is forced, in which case your opponent isn't 'losing' - he is drawing! I looked at the game and you simply allowed him to do this by not forcing the play to your advantage, and moving your queen back and forth. In short you gave him this option.

3 repetition rule states the board position must be the same 3 times, not you making the same 3 moves. If that were the rule, anyone could draw against a far superior player.
