Case summary

6 months ago

The player from Norway had won €1033 after wagering a bonus. However, his account balance was reduced to €100 without any explanation from the casino, despite his attempts to contact support. The player had reported the issue to us, and after a series of exchanges, the casino had initially offered to refund only the deposited amount. We had requested a clarification on why the winnings were confiscated, which the casino attributed to 'suspicious gaming'. After further communication, the casino had finally agreed to return the full amount of €1033 to the player's account. The player had confirmed the receipt of his winnings, and the issue had been successfully resolved.

Hello vingrom2023,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Alphabook Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? How much was your balance when you finished the wagering of the bonus? Did you request a withdrawal right after the wagering? What kind of bonus were you playing with?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

This was around christmas i won so i didnt make a withdraw directly i think i dont remember exactly.

I could not make a withdraw before i was verified so i must have been verified i guess.

My balance was €1033 after wagering.

I didnt request a withdraw right after.

I played with a welcome bonus

Hello vingrom2023,

What kind of bonus were you using? Did the casino specify the reason of voiding your balance - any term or explanation?

It was some reload bonus they send me by email.

They only told me that they have investigated and decided to confiscate, i tried to ask about more info but they refuse to give any information.

Hello vingrom2023,

Did the casino explain you the reason of voiding your balance? Is there any communication with them regarding that? If yes, please forward it as well.

Hello vingrom2023,

If your bonus had any kind of maximum available win, your balance should have been capped right after finishing the wagering requirement of it.

As we need more details directly from the casino regarding the capped balance, your complaint will be now forwarded to my colleague Peter (peter.c@casino.guru) who will be assisting you from now on.

Wish you best luck resolving it.

Regards,

Nick

Im upset because you flat out steal my funds with no reason. and looking around on comments and other complaint i can see that this is standard practice in your casino. Im pretty sure scammer is not faul language and its more than a deserving word for how you conduct your business
