While using the first deposit bonus to play, my balance suddenly dropped to zero.


When I checked my email, I found a message stating that my bonus had been confiscated and my account suspended due to alleged fraudulent use.


I have no recollection of any wrongdoing, and I played by carefully reading the terms of service, so I cannot accept this.


Additionally, there was a mention of a completely unrelated third party in the casino's email, which raised my suspicions.


Please investigate this matter.

Dear niipoppo,

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. 

  • Could you please advise which games you focused on - slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
  • Do I understand correctly that the casino confiscated $1,000 (dispute value)?
  • Was your account verified?

Lastly, please post here the casino's website link so we can add it to our database. This step is necessary for us to proceed with the complaint.

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

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.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. 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 Curaçao Antillephone N.V. (complaints@gaminglicences.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.c@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
