Case summary

The player from Spain filed a formal complaint regarding the unjustified closure of his account and the withholding of his funds despite having completed all verification procedures. He claimed that the reasons given for the account closure were unfounded, citing his compliance with the Terms and Conditions, and requested the immediate release of his withheld winnings. We investigated the case and requested evidence from the casino, which was provided after some delay. The casino presented multiple indicators suggesting the presence of duplicate accounts, which violated their policy of one account per individual. Based on this evidence, we determined that the casino's actions were justified and rejected the complaint.

Subject: Formal complaint for improper account suspension and unlawful withholding of funds

Dear Sirs,

I hereby file a formal complaint regarding the unjustified closure of my account and the withholding of funds that legally belong to me.

Over a month ago, I deposited money into your platform. After participating in the casino and sports betting activities offered by 1win, I requested a withdrawal of my funds. To do so, I fully and satisfactorily completed all the verification procedures required by the company, including:

Submission of the required personal documentation.

Identity verification via video call, in which I correctly answered all the questions asked.

Despite having complied with all the obligations established in the Terms and Conditions of your platform, I have received a communication indicating that:

My withdrawal will not be processed, and

My account will be closed based on an article whose content is unrelated to my conduct or the legitimate use of my account.

I wish to state the following:

I alone have had access to and use of my account at all times.

The allegations regarding variations in IP address lack sufficient legal and technical basis, given that the use of public wifi networks or the dynamic nature of mobile IPs generate completely normal changes and do not constitute any indication of illicit activity.

I have never violated the contractual terms, nor have I engaged in fraudulent activity, and there is no evidence to justify such a severe measure as withholding all funds. It's a false excuse not to pay me, given the large sum owed.

The unilateral withholding of legitimately earned winnings violates the principles of good faith in contracts, as well as the obligations of transparency and proportionality that must govern the actions of a gaming operator. Furthermore, such withholding could constitute an abusive practice, subject to complaint before the competent regulatory authorities and dispute resolution bodies.

For all the above reasons, I formally and expressly request:

The full and immediate payment of the withheld amount.

Hello chusa,

We would like to update you that due to Katarina, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Katarina has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Katarina will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Thank you for providing me with the information 1win Casino representative.

Dear chusa, The casino has presented multiple indicators suggesting the presence of duplicate accounts. It is an established industry standard that an individual may operate only one account in their name and supply it with their own funds only. Your activity constitutes a clear violation of this policy, and we therefore find the actions taken by the casino to be justified.

We strongly advise against such behavior, as it may result in similar consequences in the future. In light of these circumstances, we regret to inform you that your complaint has been rejected.

Thank you for your understanding.
