Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

9 months ago

The player from Italy had secured a large win on Buran Casino. However, her account had been first blocked and then closed without any notice or warning, which left her unable to contact the support team. The player had claimed her winnings were removed when her account was reopened. The casino had informed her that a software malfunction during her gaming session had led to the cancellation of her winnings. After reviewing the evidence provided by the casino, it was clear that the malfunction caused the player not to lose any bets during the session in question, and only the winnings were credited to her balance. The casino had then performed a 'rollback', annulling all incorrect bets, which led to the cancellation of the player's winnings. The complaint had been closed as unjustified since the player did not inform the casino about the malfunction, while the previous balance was lost after the game started working properly. The casino's actions had been in accordance with its Terms and Conditions, and there was nothing to restore. Later it turned out that the player played the game for the first time, and she did not know about the malfunction, so it is very likely she did not do it intentionally. Unfortunately, it did not change the situation.

Hello, two days ago I scored a very large win on Buran Casino. I understand the huge amount involved, but then my account was first blocked, making it impossible for me to even contact the support team through my account. Furthermore, I woke up this morning to find my account closed without even receiving a warning email.

I do not necessarily expect to receive such an enormous sum, as I realize it is a high amount. However, I also did not expect to find my account closed and to have completely lost everything.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Ninetta93,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Buran 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? Did you accumulate your winnings with real money or did you use a bonus? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi nick

no, my account was not verified because there is no section where I can upload documents. No no bonus it was real money but it was only the second time I played. After contacting you they finally responded to an email saying that they closed the account to carry out checks.

Good evening, I would like to add to what has been said that my account has been reopened but with the amount of zero euros. Trying to contact support via instant chat they tell me that there is 0 because there is a withdrawal of €500 in progress but as already said there was much more money in the account also this withdrawal has been verifying since 02/14/24 but no email was sent to me asking me to verify documents or anything else. Thanks for your collaboration

Hi Nick

Yes, the casino responded to me telling me that everything was canceled because there was a software malfunction during the gaming session. But they also took away the money I had before playing. With my phone I can't contact them via chat and they don't reply to my emails.

Hi, I forwarded the conversations to whoever you asked me to do so. A few days ago my game history on Buran was deleted. I always try to contact them but nothing.

Hello, Ninetta93,

I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.

 

Dear Buran Casino team,

Could you please provide us with a detailed explanation of the player's situation? What happened there and why were the disputed winnings invalid/confiscated? If we are talking about a breach of the casino's rules or a bug/malfunction, is the casino able to substantiate its claims and decision with relevant evidence?

Feel free to send the necessary evidence to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).

Thank you in advance for providing the information.

Greetings all,

I am sorry for the delay (vacation).

After reviewing all the provided information and details, the following was found out:

  • The malfunction was clear, fully supported by the evidence from the casino, and it is obvious what happened there
  • According to the game logs, the malfunction caused the user basically not to lose any bet during the period/session in question (February 13 and 14, 2024) and only the winnings were credited to the balance, while the bets had an increasing tendency during the play
  • Once the error disappeared and the game started working properly, there were 3 lost bets of 50€ each (150€), then a few attempts to withdraw small amounts from the disputed invalid winnings followed, which were unsuccessful - logically, leaving one last withdrawal of 500€ pending there
  • A "rollback" took place 2 days later, and all the incorrect/invalid bets were annulled so the balance got to the point where it really should have been
  • The pending withdrawal of 500€ was later also cancelled, understandably, because the winnings were accumulated during the same session with the technical error
  • Considering the fact the player had to be aware of the error because she tried to withdraw very shortly after the error disappeared and after it was clear that bets started being correctly deducted from the balance - there is nothing to restore, even if there was any balance before the error occurred
  • Higher bets caused by using the error to accumulate the disputed invalid winnings and their following correct deduction from the balance at the end of the session in question led to losing more than it was in the balance before


Dear Ninetta93,

Based on all the above-stated, we are closing this complaint as unjustified. Players are obliged to inform the casino if there is any malfunction or system error, or if the casino mistakenly credits any illegitimate winnings to their balance, etc. This was not followed, and the rules were breached.

You basically lost only your initial deposit of 20€ or the winnings accumulated until the moment when the error occurred (something around 40€). Although you did not know the winnings would be considered invalid, you lost your legitimate balance after the error disappeared with 3 bets of 50€ each. Trying to use the error in your favour led to the loss of the remaining balance. The casino acted in accordance with its Terms and Conditions, and we accept it.

I am sorry we were not able to help you with this one, but please, do not hesitate to contact us in the future, if you run into any issues with this or any other casino. We are here to help.

If you are not satisfied with the complaint solution, I recommend you consult the gambling authority that the casino is regulated by. In case of any questions, feel free to write to me at branislav.b@casino.guru.


Thank you very much, Buran Casino Team, for providing information and cooperation!


Best regards,

Branislav, Casino.Guru

Hi Branislav thanks for clarifying everything, the mess wasn't that clear.

I want to point out, however, that I didn't notice the malfunction because it was the first day I played Aviator. For me, everything was normal, probably because I only saw the bets go up. Thank you for your efforts to resolve the issue!
