The player from Nicaragua had deposited $2,000 and won $4,500 but faced difficulty while trying to withdraw. The casino insisted that the player deposit an additional $2,000 before any withdrawals could be made. After this, the casino also requested a visit to a physical location, further document submission, and eventually blocked the player's account. We recommended that the player file a complaint with the Malta Gambling Authority. The player later reported that the regulator had helped recover 70% of the winnings, but the casino had kept 30% without clear justification. The case was closed with the status "waiting for regulator's decision."

Hello, Guru team. A few days ago, specifically on December 11, I deposited $2000 USD into my Bet Cris account. I played and made a profit of $2500 USD. It was my first day using the platform, and I won while playing live roulette. I tried to withdraw the money once my account was verified - they requested my ID and a selfie of me holding the card, which I provided within 10 minutes. They told me I was ready to withdraw. However, when I attempted to withdraw, it was rejected. I tried to withdraw $4500 within 5 minutes but my attempt was rejected. I contacted them through live chat and they told me this:
"Thank you for your patience, Deborah. Management has decided to refund all of your deposits. - Gina 22:56"
Next, they told me that I needed to deposit $2000 before I could withdraw. I asked why I needed to do this when they were the ones who refunded my funds, not me. They were demanding that I put in more money to withdraw my winnings.
Then, they told me to deposit $2000 and that my withdrawal would be available immediately. However, they later changed their mind and said I had to play through the full amount in order to make a withdrawal. That's when things started to feel off to me. Then they blocked my account, saying it would only be opened once I had deposited $2000.
Next, they told me I needed to bring cash to a physical casino. I was ready to go and was in contact with them to let them know when suddenly they told me I couldn't go because I needed to send more documents. I sent the documents, but they decided to keep my account closed regardless.
I had a legitimate win and the casino now refuses to pay me. I provided all necessary documentation, which they have continually rejected since I tried to make a withdrawal. I've included screenshots of the games and game history.
An important thing to note is that while they did return the $2000 USD I deposited back onto my card, that was not something I asked for - it was their decision.
I've attached images of the entire situation. They even admitted in live chat that I could withdraw and that I did win.
In the chat, a rude person named Javier appeared several times. He told me they aren't a fantasy and that he would decide whether or not to open my account. He also said he wouldn't keep repeating messages. When I asked what I should do, he simply said they've been in the business for 35 years and they're not a fantasy.
I sent the requested documents, but their response was that the account would remain closed due to a management decision.
Now they have simply blocked me due to a management decision and kept my winnings.
Please keep these images public so others dealing with this issue can see them

Hello, thank you for your response Petronela,
1- The account was created on December 11
2- I had not made a withdrawal before, it was the first
3- without any bonus or rollover
I attach an image showing it
I sent all the necessary documents for verification, which they had told me was verified, then they asked me for more documents, which I sent.
Now they only tell me that the decision is management's, my account will remain closed. That's all they told me, they closed my account and kept my profit.
but before that they told me to deposit 2000 USD to be able to withdraw my profit, something illogical. Why should I deposit more to be able to make a withdrawal?
They told me that by management's decision they had refunded my card for something that I did not ask for.
I hope for your prompt help, many greetings
Thank you!

Hello again Guru team,
I have contacted the casino again and they tell me that due to a general management decision my account will not be opened.
I ordered the deposit to be returned and my account closed.
That the management already acted and that was their decision,
It is a very bad decision for a player like me and the only one harmed is me.
I was a winner who won on the PRAGMATIC MEGA ROULETTE roulette, in the previous messages I uploaded profit brackets.
something very important to add, I did not win with any bonus, all the winnings were with my money, I registered on December 11 of this same year "2023" which that same day I made the withdrawal which then happened all this problem that they were left with my winnings by the casino's decision, something that is not fair to me or to other players on this platform

Hello Guru Team,
I attach important images of my case, I hope you can help me.
I also request to leave the images public so that other players who want to use this platform realize the reality and how this casino works.
I managed to do all of these captures before my account was blocked.
Very cordial greetings to the entire Guru team!

Hello Matej,
Thank you very much for supporting me in this case, very grateful to you and all the kind Guru team!
Today, after being blocked for days, I tried to log in to my Betcris account that was blocked, the causality is that it allows me to log in, apparently they have unblocked me.
But what happens once I'm in the account?
Surprise my account is in . 0 . " zero "
$0.00
What happens, I realize that my account is completely at zero, I verify what is happening, I enter the history and I see that "BACK TO 0"
At that moment I contact the live chat "which is very bad" I ask the question why my account has no balance.
They tell me the same thing that they have always said that by management decision a refund was made by direct management decision, that I must make a deposit to be able to withdraw my winnings, but here I leave the response message from the casino representative via chat live
The values were refunded by management decision, unfortunately I cannot give you more information, since it was a direct management decision.
What happens is that with this they are forcing me to make a deposit of $2000 USD, which was the amount refunded by them, to deposit that amount of money so that I can make my withdrawal, it is something illogical. I just don't want to put more money in. I already played, I won, I already withdrawn (but they didn't pay me)
I should not deposit more money to be able to withdraw my winnings of $2500 USD, it is something they demand of me and want me to do because they only give me that answer as well as that decision.
Casino Guru, I don't see it as fair that they want to require me to deposit money in order to make a withdrawal.
I leave you important images of the conversation held with the casino representative.
I attach images

Hello again Guru team.
I attach images of email with the betcris team that are demanding that I re-enter 2000 USD into the account simply because they want it that way.
I don't want to deposit more money into Betcris, they are keeping my winnings that I earned fairly.
They only know how to tell me the same thing that I must deposit 2000 dollars to access my earnings, something that I do not want to do.
Wanting to comment that you do not have the cash for said deposit. Maybe comment that it is something illogical that they want me to put down 2000 dollars to be able to withdraw
I need your help dear GURU team
Greetings and happy holidays to the entire GURU team

Dear DeboraMarin,
The casino is unresponsive, so I would recommend filing a complaint with the Malta Gambling Authority (https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/malta-license).
You can find all the information and guidance on how to file a complaint there.
If you need any help, I will gladly assist you.
I apologize that we were unable to help you more.

Hello, thank you for answering me, because the regulator helped me, but betcris has kept 30% of my profit by their decision, simply because they decided it that way.
They only gave me $1750 of $2500
Many thanks to the guru team for taking the time.
I will continue in the fight with this terrible casino since it has been quite an odyssey to collect my money.
The case is still with the regulator, so I have been able to collect 70% of the profit
Obviously, thanks to the regulator I have been able to collect 70% of the profit for the moment, because on the part of betcris it would be "0"
I repeat, for the moment they have kept 30% of my profit at the time of making the withdrawal.
In short, I never recommend this terrible casino, very poor service. They have a high score they should verify that. In my experience it is the worst casino I have seen in all these years that I have been playing.
I request to put all the images above in private mode, everything that has to do with images in private mode since there is sensitive information about me. Set this paragraph to private. Thank you so much

Dear DeboraMarin,
It's strange that the casino kept 30% of the winnings, but I'm confident that the regulator will address this and ensure you receive the full amount, or at least provide an explanation for the penalty.
I've marked all the pictures as private.
I will now close this case with the status: waiting for regulator's decision. Please reopen the case and update it once the regulator makes a decision.
I've also adjusted the value of the complaint to $750 since the casino has already paid you $1750.

Dear DeboraMarin,
We hope this finds you well. We would like to ask you to provide an update regarding this case, which was previously marked as "Waiting for Regulator" on our website. Your complaint has now been automatically reopened, and we are eager to know if there have been any recent developments or resolutions since our last communication.
If the ADR or the Licensing Authority has resolved things in your favor, please update the thread and send over the official statement to my email. Alternatively, if the ruling favored the casino, your insights are just as crucial.
We understand that some time has passed, but updating your complaint will allow us to take appropriate action, such as issuing black points to the casino in case the ruling is in your favor or warning other players and users about instances where the authority supports the operator.
We truly appreciate your cooperation, and your response would be of great assistance to us.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello, the regulator gave me the case in my favor, it was resolved with the casino regulator who made betcris pay me. Thank you very much team guru I do not recommend that terrible betcris casino.
The casino had to pay me with the resolution I sent them to reopen the case. Betcris did not want to pay but they were forced by the Regulator.
Please make this message private everything I sent in this reply
