The player from Germany won 5,000€ using a welcome bonus, but the casino accused him of cheating and closed his account. The player denied manipulation and requested an explanation. After several attempts to communicate with the casino, it was concluded that the casino maintained its initial decision, citing the player's strategy as bonus abuse.

Hello, a few days ago I used my welcome bonus and won 5000€. Now the casino is accusing me of cheating and has closed my account, refusing to pay out the money. I need help, I don't know how to manipulate slots. That's why I'm asking the casino to be open with me and explain what they believe I've manipulated.

Thank you

Dear tom27,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the situation you’re facing regarding your winnings at the casino.

To better understand the circumstances surrounding the closure of your account and the accusations of cheating, could you kindly provide more information on the following points:

  • Can you recall any specific actions or events that might have triggered the casino's accusation of cheating? For example, were there any unusual patterns in your gameplay or any technical issues that occurred while you were using your welcome bonus?
  • Have you received any communication from the casino regarding the specific reasons for accusing you of cheating? If so, could you provide any details or documentation related to this communication? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru.
  • Are there any terms or conditions of the welcome bonus or the casino's policies that you might have unintentionally violated, leading to the closure of your account?

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

Best regards,

Petronela

Hello,


  • I didn't notice any unusual pattern or anything unusual like that, I won about €2500 when I wagered, that was the most unusual thing, but it is possible that you can win when you play, I think that's normal when you play in a casino.
  • I will send you an email with the email address, but unfortunately I have not received a response from the casino yet.
  • There are bonus conditions but I have stuck to them, no forbidden games and no bet over the max.


Thank you and kind regards

Hello tom27,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I will contact the casino to see if I can help.

We would like to invite Anarchy Casino to join the conversation.


Dear Anarchy Casino,

Could you please provide more explanation on how should the player manipulate the slots played? Can you please forward any evidence to me at michal.k@casino.guru to support your claim that the player has engaged in not-allowed gameplay breaching your bonus rules and thus is not eligible for the bonus winnings?

Dear tom27,

I have received the following response from the Anarchy Casino team:

Hello team!
Please kindly note that, after careful examination of the situation, for this case, we found that the player is employing a strategy to take advantage of the '806999 - Welcome Offer EUR - €500.00' bonus. This player has played the high-volatile game 'Coins - Marching Legions' and has been consistently wagering the maximum bonus amount of '€5.00 per spin'. As a result, he has managed to accumulate significant winnings.
We have observed other players using this strategy in other casinos to obtain big winnings using this technique.
The T&C applied:
1.23. We reserve the right to audit your game play/transaction logs. You hereby consent in advance for us to do so. If, after an audit, it transpires that you participated, or attempted to participate, in a manipulative game strategy to take advantage from the bonus being rewarded to you from the casino, we hold the right to deny, withhold, revoke or withdraw your entitlement to any promotion, winnings or bonus, or terminate your association with our website and/or block your account. In such circumstances, we shall be under no obligation to refund any funds that may be in your account other than your original deposit amounts.

Do any of your family members or friends have an account at Anarchy Casino? If so, have they claimed the same bonuses and played the same games in a similar manner as you?

Hello Guru,

No, I am not aware of any friends or family members playing at Anarchy Casino. I like to play high-volatility games so that no one can accuse me of trying to use the bonus without losing anything. It is possible that people in my town also play at casinos that I am registered with, but I can't do anything about that. I have always been a high roller who plays with a €5 stake. Even when I use it, I use high-volatility games so that no one can accuse me of trying to use the bonus without losing anything.


Thank you for your cooperation, kind regards

Dear tom27,

At this time, I agree that your gameplay should not be an issue. While many casinos have rules against switching from high volatility slots and large bets to low volatility slots and low bets after a win, we need to question the assumption that switching from high-risk to low-risk betting after a significant win gives the player an unfair advantage. This behavior is quite reasonable, as even avid gamblers tend to become more cautious after winning, fearing potential losses.

It's important to remember that all casino games have a house edge, ensuring the casino's profitability even with low-risk bets. Therefore, there is no valid reason to penalize such gameplay.

I am still awaiting additional information and evidence from the casino team to better understand the situation and, if possible, to find a suitable resolution.

Thank you Michael, yes I can understand that but in my case it is different. I started with a game that has high volatility and I also wagered the bonus with high volatility. The entire bonus was wagered with high volatility, which is why I won a large sum of around €2,500 when wagered. Thank you for your cooperation and time.


Best regards

Dear tom27,

Although I'm in communication with the casino representative, I have still not received all the information and evidence from the casino team I requested, and it started to show signs that the casino team is not willing to find a suitable solution to your issue.

I will extend the timer for 3 additional days to give extra time for the resolution of your complaint, but if we don't receive the requested information and the casino team will not further cooperate, I'm afraid we will have to close your complaint as unresolved.

Dear 1979mandm1979,

I recently engaged in a comprehensive discussion with the casino representative regarding your situation. While I understand their perspective that your gameplay aligns with their definition of bonus abuse as mentioned here:

We however need to question the assumption that switching from high-risk to low-risk betting after a significant win gives the player an unfair advantage. This behavior is quite reasonable, as even avid gamblers tend to become more cautious after winning, fearing potential losses.

It's important to remember that all casino games have a house edge, ensuring the casino's profitability even with low-risk bets. Therefore, there is no valid reason to penalize such gameplay. As we mentioned in Our Position on Banning Betting Patterns and Strategies

Although I was trying to explain our position and find a suitable solution with the casino team, sadly, they maintained their initial decision. We had to close this complaint as unresolved, which will have a negative effect on the casino rating.

I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the casino gaming authority, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission here Dispute Resolution - Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission or directly to their email at complaints@gamingcommission.ca, and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority might have more options and tools to help players. Please let me know how they responded (michal.k@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. I can only recommend checking the reviews of each casino before you sign up and only playing in good-rated casinos to avoid disappointments like this in the future.


Best regards,

Michal
