5bet Casino - Player’s winnings have been confiscated.

Unresolved
Our verdict

Insufficient evidence from casino

Black points: 250

Amount: €80

5bet Casino
Safety Index 4.5 Low

Case summary

The player from Italy had deposited 15 euros and wagered according to the casino's conditions to receive a 200-spin bonus. After winning a total of 80 euros, the casino refused to process the withdrawal and only allowed him to withdraw his initial deposit, claiming the bonus had been forfeited. We reviewed the casino’s explanation about similar promotional activity from several Italian accounts, but it did not provide enough evidence to prove that his winnings had been obtained through an unfair advantage or a clear breach of the rules. As a result, we closed the complaint as unresolved due to insufficient evidence from the casino.

Dear giooo,

I have managed to contact the casino team. They informed me that they had identified an unusually high number of players from Italy who registered within a similar timeframe and claimed the same promotion.

While this alone would not, in our view, constitute a breach of the casino's rules, the additional information provided by the casino offers some grounds for its concerns and subsequent action.

However, several points still require clarification before I can reach a fair and informed conclusion. I am continuing to discuss these matters with the casino team and will update you once I receive further information.

In the meantime, could you please clarify whether any of your family members, friends, or acquaintances hold an account with 5bet Casino?

If so, have you played at the casino around the same time as them — for example, during a shared visit? Have you used a VPN program or application when accessing or playing at the casino?

Why have you deposited only this particular amount?

Could you also confirm which devices you have used to register and play at 5bet Casino?

I would appreciate your cooperation in providing this information in as much detail as possible.

Dear giooo,

Thank you for the clarification.

I have received information and supporting evidence from the casino which, from a strictly contractual perspective, may provide grounds for its actions.

However, it has not yet been sufficiently established whether the circumstances resulted from any deliberate action on your part or whether your activity provided you with an unfair advantage.

I am continuing to discuss these points with the casino team and hope to provide you with further information as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience while I complete my review of the case.

Dear giooo,

The casino team provided information and supporting records that raise legitimate concerns about the promotional activity under review and may partially explain its decision. I have considered those concerns alongside your explanations and the wider circumstances.

However, despite my repeated requests, the casino has not supplied sufficient additional information and evidence establishing how your activity provided an unfair advantage beyond the benefit offered by the promotion, or otherwise constituted a breach warranting confiscation of the funds. The similarities identified across several accounts do not, by themselves, sufficiently substantiate that conclusion in your individual case.

As a result, we regret to inform you that we must close this complaint as Unresolved—Insufficient evidence from the casino.

This outcome does not mean that I have disregarded the casino’s concerns or its rules. It reflects that the evidence provided is insufficient for me to support the confiscation of your winnings following an independent assessment.

I understand that this does not recover your winnings, and I regret that I could not help bring the matter to a successful conclusion; however, I believe that the decrease in the casino’s rating due to unresolved complaints may encourage them to reassess their approach. If the casino provides material new evidence or offers an appropriate resolution, we will reopen your complaint and notify you via email.

In the meantime, if you want to further pursue your case, you can contact the Anjouan Gaming (AOFA) Authority and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority might have more options and tools to help players. You can find more information on how to do that here:: Licensing Authority – Anjouan Gaming | Casino Guru. You might also find our How to submit a complaint to a regulator | Casino Guru useful.

Please let me know how they responded at michal.k@casino.guru.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.



Best regards,

Michal
