Case summary

11 months ago

The player from Norway had found his account locked due to suspected gambling addiction. The player, who denied such allegations, had demanded the reopening of his account or a payout of his €26,750 balance. The casino had claimed the player violated their rules by using an Early Betting strategy, which led to account closure and forfeiture of winnings. The casino had agreed to refund the player's deposits, minus a 15% administrative fee, pending the verification of his bank account. We had received evidence from both parties and concluded that the winnings originated from sports betting, which fell outside of our jurisdiction. The player was advised to contact the relevant authority for further assistance.

Hi,


I have used burningbet since August. I had a great winning run playing blackjack. Now that I have tried to log in to my burningbet account it is locked due to this error message "user disabled due to gambling addiction".



First, I don’t have gambling addiction. I have never requested to be disable my account due to gambling addiction. I ask burningbet to right their mistake and open my again for login. At the very least payout my 26 750 euro balance.



Hope to hear from all parties at your earliest convenience.

Best regards.

Hi,

 

How can you say that I used my account to arbitrage? The bet you are referring was in line with the general market at the time of bet placement. How can it be arbitrage when the whole market all has the same price? I ask

that you reconsider as I am careful to take prices that is deemed fair and are in line with the rest of the market at the time of bet placement. That the market later dropped on my bet is not my fault and I cannot be punished for

such movements.

 

Also, you are voiding 4000 eur+ in blackjack winnings which also was won fairly. To refund my balance is a violation of fair and safe gaming environment, which you are obligated to ensure for your players by your regulator.

 

I never received an email from burningbet regarding this. This is news to me.


Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Stayer,


Thank you for your patience during the resolution. After direct communication with the casino team, I have a conclusion. Since we do not handle sports betting complaints and those blackjack winnings originated from sports betting, we have no choice but to confirm acceptance of the information from the casino team.

 

We inform you that after the player provides the necessary documents, we are ready to return the amount of the player’s deposits minus a 15% commission in accordance with the rule of clause 7.6 of the project (12,750 EUR), as well as pay the player’s winnings in the game "Crazy Time" in the amount of 900 EUR.


I am very sorry about the situation and be aware that I am not saying that the confiscation was fair or unfair, but since we are casino-focused, I can only reject the case and redirect you to the relevant authority. I may assist you with this process, and you can reach me at the email address provided below. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require further assistance.



Kind regards, Jozef
