UNRESOLVED

Case summary

9 months ago

The player from Japan reports that he won a significant amount after betting and the casino sent him an email stating his winnings were confiscated due to a violation of the T&Cs, citing multiple linked accounts. The player denies creating multiple accounts. We were forced to close the complaint as unresolved since the casino declined to share any evidence with third parties, so we were not able to investigate the matter.

Of course, I have never tried to create multiple accounts, so I don't understand what you are saying.

It's inconvenient to win big, so I can only think that the winning money will be confiscated.


Thank you very much.

Dear makotosuzuki0115oc,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Is there any chance that someone from your household or using the same IP address has also created an account at this casino? Could you please advise if you have passed the KYC verification?

Additionally, if there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Nor did the family ever set up an account.

Also, since I have withdrawn money once, I think that KYC is certified.

Hello makotosuzuki0115oc,


I have reviewed your case and will contact the casino to see if I can help.

We would like to invite AlohaShark Casino to join the conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.


Dear AlohaShark Casino,

Could you please provide us with an explanation of the player's situation in more detail from your point of view? If we are talking about a breach of the casino's Terms and Conditions, is the casino able to substantiate its decision with relevant evidence?


It is possible to share the data directly here, with your reply, or by sending them to my email address (tomas.k@casino.guru).


Thank you in advance for providing the information.


Kind regards,

Tomas

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

If Aloha Shark-sama doesn't have a contact address, will it be like falling asleep?

Thank you for your reply, Aloha Shark.


It's a lot of money, so I don't want it to continue to be ignored.

I think it's pretty unfair treatment.


Dear Casino Guru, thank you for your continued support.

Dear makotosuzuki0115oc,

 

The casino has declined to share any personal information with third parties, even though we argued that we can provide a Power of attorney signed by the player. This would allow us to mediate with the casino in your name and have access to all evidence necessary to resolve their complaints. Unfortunately, without success.

 

In this case, the complaint will be closed as unresolved. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to change its position, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

 

In the meantime, I recommend that you contact the responsible gaming authority - C.I.L. (Curacao), and submit a complaint to them (info@gaming-curacao.com). Before submitting the complaint, make sure you provide all the necessary information. Please note it is a rather passive licensing authority and you can wait weeks or even months for an answer.

 

I wish I could be of more help. In case you need any help, please contact me at tomas.k@casino.guru.

 

Best regards,

Tomas
