Case summary
7 months ago
The player from Japan, who had passed the KYC verification, had faced withdrawal issues with his winnings of $109,000 from a Live Casino game. The casino had attributed the issue to 'provider verification.' After extensive communication between the player, the casino, and the Complaints Team, the casino had provided evidence of anomalies during the player's game sessions. The casino had alleged that the player was using automated methods to exploit a flaw in the game, linking him to a group abusing the same flaw across multiple casinos. After reviewing the evidence, we had concluded that the casino had sufficient grounds to confiscate the player's winnings and close his account in accordance with their terms and conditions. Therefore, we had been unable to assist the player further and his complaint was rejected.

Prior to the investigation, we did receive signs and alerts pointing towards anomalies during the specific rounds / session of the player.
Upon that we did raise a ticket with the affected provider - Evolution.
Since we raised the ticket, there has been an ongoing investigation from their end.
We are still waiting for a reply from the game provider in order to determine if:
- The round(s) started and finished correctly
- There were any issues / anomalies caused from the provider side during the round(s)
- Or something that would not fit any of the above descriptions.
As the attached document shows - we raised this several days ago and have also shown willingness to speed up the process to get this solved as soon as possible.
Until we have heard anything from Evolution, our hands are tied and we are not able to take action.

While I appreciate it is a frustrating situation, there is nothing that can be achieved until we know the conclusion of the game provider's investigation. These investigations can take some time, so I suggest allowing 14 days and then checking again to see if there is any progress.
500 Casino, please let us know if there are any developments in the meantime.
Kind regards,
Adam

500 Casino, please let us know if there are any developments in the meantime.
Investigation is still undergoing to gather all details, but at this point:
Evolution Gaming has concluded that the player is gambling using automated methods in order to find an edge rather than being a regular gambler
There was a flaw in this specific casino game this player was playing and it allowed a certain degree of predictability of the outcome and this player was abusing that
We were able to tie this player to an organised abuse group for the same flaw across multiple casinos.
We wiped his balance and terminated his account due to a severe breach of the ToS. His actions were 100% malicious, he knows very well what he's doing, yet here we are having this conversation.
Hello,

We have reviewed the evidence provided by the casino so far, and do not currently consider it to be sufficient in supporting the casinos reasons for confiscating the player's funds. Further information has therefore been requested, and I will extend the timer accordingly.

Apologies for my delayed reply.
We have reviewed the evidence provided by the casino so far, and do not currently consider it to be sufficient in supporting the casinos reasons for confiscating the player's funds. Further information has therefore been requested, and I will extend the timer accordingly.
We have received further evidence from the casino and this is being discussed internally. After the information has been reviewed fully, I will post our conclusions here in the thread.
I thank you for your continued patience in the meantime.

Due to the nature of the activity that has resulted in this decision, I am unable to share any details, and this complaint will now be rejected.
I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.
