Case summary

The player from Azerbaijan filed a complaint against 1win Casino for the confiscation of over 5,000 AZN in winnings after his account had been blocked. Although the account was later unblocked, the funds were missing, with the support team failing to provide a resolution or proof and using a "provider/software error" as justification for the missing balance. He confirmed that the winnings were not tied to any active bonus and had been accumulated on slots, while the casino gave two different explanations without solid evidence. Later, the complaint was marked as resolved by the player. We later reviewed the casino’s evidence, confirmed the winnings had come from Book of Aztec during the documented Amatic incident, and closed the case as rejected because the balance adjustment was supported and no compensation could be required.

Hello,

Thank you for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced. May I ask a few questions to better understand the situation?

  • Do I understand correctly that you currently don't have any remaining balance in your casino account?
  • Could you please tell me which games you were focused on — slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
  • Were your winnings accumulated while a bonus was active, or without an active bonus?

I hope we can help resolve this issue promptly. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hello Kristina,


Thank you for your response. Here are the answers to your questions to clarify the situation:


* Regarding the balance and bonus: There was no active bonus on my account when these winnings were accumulated. My account was blocked, and after it was unblocked, the entire amount had been removed and deleted.

* Regarding the games: I was focused on slots.

* Regarding the support: The 1win team provided two different reasons for this issue, but neither of them was justified or based on any solid proof.


I hope this helps you move forward with the investigation. Looking forward to your help.

Hello Kristina,

Thank you for reopening my complaint and for continuing to assist me.

Unfortunately, the situation has still not been resolved. My 1win account was blocked and later unblocked, but approximately 5,300 AZN in my balance/winnings was not returned. 1win has not provided me with clear evidence explaining where these funds went. They only referred to a "provider/software error."

I kindly ask you to continue investigating this matter and request from 1win clear evidence and a detailed explanation for the missing funds.

The issue remains unresolved, and I would appreciate your help in reaching a fair resolution.

Best regards, Heyal_yasar1

Hello Kristina,


Thank you for reopening my complaint and continuing to assist me.


Unfortunately, the issue is still not resolved. 1win told me that there was a system error and that my winnings were cancelled because the winnings were allegedly not actually accepted by the system. However, I have not been provided with any technical evidence, provider report, game history, or other clear proof confirming this explanation.


My account was later unblocked, but the missing funds, approximately 5,300 AZN, were not returned to me.


I kindly ask you to request clear evidence from 1win regarding the alleged system error and the cancellation of my winnings.


If 1win is unable or unwilling to return the full amount, I kindly ask that at least a portion of the missing funds be paid to me as compensation. I would sincerely appreciate any fair partial compensation, as my main concern is that this case does not remain unresolved.


Thank you for your help and for giving this case another chance to reach a fair resolution.


Best regards,

fileHello Kristina,


I have sent all the relevant correspondence between me and 1win to the Gmail address you provided.


Please pay close attention to the correspondence, because you will see that 1win has given different explanations at different stages. First, they referred to a problem with the payment system. Later, they claimed that it was a provider error, and afterwards they referred to a technical issue.


These explanations have changed over time, but I still have not been provided with clear technical evidence proving the actual reason for the missing funds or the cancellation of my winnings.


I kindly ask you to review the entire correspondence carefully and take these inconsistencies into consideration when investigating my complaint.


If the full amount cannot be returned, I would still appreciate it if at least a reasonable portion of the missing funds could be paid to me as compensation.


Thank you for your help.

Hello Kristina,


I would also like to point out another important detail in the correspondence. At one point, 1win told me that the funds had already been paid from their side and asked me to provide a bank statement to verify this. I was ready to provide the statement, but afterwards they again changed their explanation and referred to a technical error.


Overall, 1win has given me around five different explanations at different stages regarding the same missing funds. First they mentioned a payment-system issue, then a provider error, then a technical issue, and at another point they claimed that the payment had already been made from their side.


Please carefully review the full correspondence I sent to the Gmail address you provided. I believe these repeated and contradictory explanations are important for assessing my complaint.


I still have not received the missing funds. If the full amount cannot be returned, I kindly ask that at least a reasonable portion of the missing funds be paid to me as compensation.


Thank you for your attention and help.

Hello Kristina,

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you for reopening my complaint and for the time and effort you have already spent on my case. I truly appreciate your help and the attention you have given to my situation.

I understand that my complaint has now been transferred to Michal for the next stage of the process. However, since you have already reviewed my case and the information I provided, I would really appreciate hearing your honest opinion about the situation.

After seeing the different explanations provided by 1win — payment system error, provider error, technical error, and later the claim that the winnings were not properly accepted by the system — I am still unable to understand what actually happened to my funds.

In your personal opinion, based on the evidence and correspondence you have reviewed, how do you see my case and what do you think the most likely outcome could be?

My main concern is the missing funds. I sincerely hope that 1win can be held accountable and that a fair solution can finally be reached. If recovering the full amount is not possible, I would still be very grateful if at least a reasonable portion of the missing funds could be returned to me as compensation.

I have already provided the correspondence and screenshots requested by Casino.Guru, and I am ready to provide anything else that may help resolve this matter.

Thank you again, Kristina, for your patience, assistance, and for giving my case another chance to be properly reviewed. I truly appreciate your efforts and would be very grateful to hear your honest thoughts about how you believe this case may end.

Kind regards,

Hello Xeyal_yasar1,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed the information provided so far and understand your questions and concerns. However, without obtaining further details from the casino, I am currently unable to form an informed opinion on the matter.

I will contact the casino to gain further insight into the situation and explore how I may be able to assist.

I would now like to invite the 1win Casino team to join the conversation.



Dear 1win Casino Team,

Please provide any evidence demonstrating the alleged technical glitch or system error that may have enabled the player to obtain winnings to which they were not legitimately entitled.

In addition, please clarify why the player was given different explanations at various stages regarding the disappearance or confiscation of the same funds, and confirm the precise grounds on which the funds were ultimately removed.

You may send all relevant information and supporting evidence directly to me at michal.k@casino.guru for an independent review.

Thank you in advance.

Hello! Dear 1win Casino team


I ask you to consider my situation fairly and make an objective decision. I've deposited over 2,000 AZN into my account, but I've won virtually nothing before. When I finally received my winnings, I expected to be able to use my funds, but they were ultimately deducted from my balance.


I ask you to carefully review my situation and, if a full recovery of the lost funds is not possible, I ask that you at least return part of the lost amount to me as a fair solution.


I hope for your understanding and objective consideration of my request. I would be grateful for a positive decision.


Thank you in advance for your understanding and fair decision.


Sincerely,

Yasar

Dear 1win Casino Team,

Thank you for your email. I have responded back with some additional enquiries and I look forward to your reply.



Dear Xeyal_yasar1,

I have received evidence that largely supports the actions taken by the casino. I would like to note that there was indeed a significant incident involving games from Amatic Industries not long ago.

In April 2026, Amatic Industries’ servers were reportedly compromised, resulting in certain games producing substantially higher winnings and winning outcomes more frequently than intended. The affected titles reportedly included Book of Aztec, Lucky Joker 10, Lucky Joker 20, and several others. This issue affected players across a number of casinos offering Amatic games.

You should still be able to find multiple articles online about this incident if you wish to Google it.

Could you please confirm which games you played during the relevant period and which of those games your winnings originated from?

Hello, Michal.


I played Book of Aztec (Amatic). It was in this game that I received winnings that were subsequently deducted from my balance.


Please take this into account when reviewing my case and check my gaming and transaction history to confirm the information.


I also kindly ask you to help me recover at least some of the lost funds. I understand that this may be due to a technical error, but this is a significant amount for me. If a full recovery is not possible, I ask for your help in achieving a fair and just return of at least part of the lost amount.


Thank you very much in advance for your help, attention and objective consideration of my case.

Dear Xeyal_yasar1,

Thank you for confirming that the disputed winnings were achieved in Amatic game.

From a human perspective, I fully understand why you are asking the casino to consider some form of compensation. You may have participated in the affected games without realising that a technical issue was present, and I appreciate that losing the resulting winnings may understandably feel unfair and disappointing.

Nevertheless, our assessment must be based on whether the winnings were generated through valid game outcomes and whether the casino had legitimate grounds to void them. In light of the circumstances and evidence described above, the casino have sufficiently established that the disputed winnings resulted from gameplay affected by the technical incident and were therefore not eligible for payment.

For this reason, there is sadly no valid basis on which your or we could require the casino to compensate you. This remains the case regardless of how unfortunate or unfair the outcome may feel from your perspective.

I will, of course, leave it to the casino to consider whether it wishes to provide any goodwill payment. However, such a gesture would be entirely voluntary, and the casino is under no obligation to offer compensation.

I believe it is important to be transparent with you about our assessment and what can reasonably be expected from the complaint process.



Dear 1win Casino Team,

I appreciate your position and understand the circumstances surrounding the case. At the same time, I can also understand how disappointing this experience has been for the player.

With this in mind, would you perhaps be open to considering offering the player a goodwill gesture? I believe it would be appreciated and could help bring this unfortunate matter to a more amicable conclusion.

Dear Michal,


I categorically disagree with the casino completely refusing even partial compensation.


I understand that you have identified a technical incident in the Amatic game. However, I was not notified of any problem and played in good faith, having no way of knowing about the technical error. I did not commit any fraud, violate any casino rules, or use any prohibited methods.


Despite this, the casino voided my winnings and completely debited my balance. Now 1win refuses to even consider a partial refund, even though you yourself previously offered the casino a gesture of goodwill.


I find this response unfair and disappointing. I understand Casino Guru's position regarding the technical error, but I ask you to also consider the human side of the situation: I suffered a significant financial loss through no fault of my own and had no way of knowing about the server issue in advance.


Please do not consider this matter finally resolved simply based on the casino's refusal. I urge you to contact 1win again and urge them to reconsider their decision and offer at least partial compensation as a fair and honest solution.


I'm not demanding the impossible and am prepared to compromise. However, I consider a complete refusal without any compensation to be unfair.


I ask Casino Guru to take my position into account, assist in negotiations, and not close the case until the casino receives its final position on the issue of voluntary compensation.


Thank you in advance for your objective consideration.

Dear Xeyal_yasar1,

After carefully reviewing the information and evidence provided by the casino, I regretfully must close this complaint as rejected.

I understand how disappointing this outcome might feel, particularly because you may have played without knowing that the game was affected by a technical incident. Nothing in the available evidence suggests that you caused the problem or deliberately attempted to exploit it, and I appreciate that the displayed balance may have appeared entirely genuine to you at the time.

Nevertheless, the evidence confirms, and you as well have confirmed, that the disputed winnings originated from Book of Aztec during the documented Amatic incident. The casino also provided an account-level reconciliation indicating that the adjustment returned your balance to approximately the position it had been in before the incident.

Although you may have acted in good faith, winnings generated through invalid game outcomes cannot be treated as legitimate winnings. Provisions allowing casinos to void bets and winnings affected by technical errors are standard across the online casino industry. Their purpose is to restore the parties to the position they would have been in had the malfunction not occurred, rather than to recognise results that were not produced by the game’s intended mechanics.

In view of the circumstances and the understandable disappointment this situation has caused you, I asked the casino whether it would be willing to offer a goodwill payment to help bring the matter to a more amicable conclusion. While such a gesture would certainly have been welcome, the casino ultimately decided not to consider the offer. As a goodwill payment is entirely discretionary and the balance adjustment was sufficiently supported by the available evidence, I am unfortunately not in a position to require the casino to provide any compensation.

I am sorry that I could not provide the outcome you had hoped for, but this marks the end of our ability to provide any assistance. I thank both parties for their cooperation throughout the process.

Should you encounter issues with this or any other casino in the future feel free to reach out to us. We will be happy to assist in the scope of our role as an independent dispute mediator.


Kind regards,

Michal
