Case summary

The player from Norway had his winnings of 65,000 NOK confiscated by the casino due to his success on a sister site, which resulted in his balance dropping to zero. He completed the required verification process, including submitting the necessary documents. We attempted to resolve the issue by communicating with the casino, but due to the casino's lack of cooperation and failure to respond, the complaint was marked as unresolved. The player was advised to contact the Curaçao gaming authority to submit a formal complaint for further resolution. The complaint remained open for reopening if the casino decided to engage.

I have been playing on this casino and the sistersites. I was lucky and won on the sister casino.


They have now confiscated my money on this casino because of the winnings on the sistersite!? As you can see by the picture my balance was around 65k NOK when I was playing live casino yesterday. My balance is now 0.


I verified by sending the documents they asked for. Including a selfie with my id.

When did you receive the notification about your balance being changed?


After they confiscated my money.


What specific reason did the casino give for confiscating your funds?


That my balance was negative on their sistersite. The sistersite has nothing to do with my gambling on this site!? I have not won a single sportsbet here and played a lot of casino. You can see that my bets in the previous picture was live casino. All my sports bets on this site has lost. How crazy would it be if casinos with multiple sistersites can be allowed to do this?!



Have you received any official communication from the casino regarding this matter?

They keep spamming me with "exclusive bonuses'' too. I am sure they will just confiscate that money as soon as I deposit. This is a shady casino.file

Thanks for the update. For me it is crazy that they can do this when winning on a totally different casino. And I had even stopped using my qbet account and they had accepted my withdrawals. Suddenly they place the balance there in minus to be able to confiscate the winnings at the sistersites.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

There is one more option for how you can try to resolve your issue or speed up the process - I recommend you contact the gaming authority the casino is regulated by Curaçao and submit a complaint directly to them. You can find more about their complaint resolution process HERE, and general information regarding complaint processes with regulators HERE.

I wish I could be of more help. I sincerely hope you will not come across a problem like this again.

The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.
