5bet Casino - Player's withdrawal has been confiscated.

Unresolved
Our verdict

Insufficient evidence from casino

Black points: 250

Amount: $73

5bet Casino
Safety Index 4.5 Low

Case summary

The player from Italy was having issues withdrawing his winnings from the casino 5bet, as his withdrawal was canceled after 24 hours. He had completed the KYC and made the required deposit but lost both his winnings from free spins and a significant portion of his original deposit following the withdrawal cancellation. We reviewed the case with the casino, but it did not provide sufficient evidence to prove that he had gained an unfair advantage or breached the rules in a way that justified confiscation. As a result, we closed the complaint as Unresolved due to insufficient evidence from the casino.

Hi, the casino in question, 5bet, cancelled my withdrawal after the 24 hours they say it takes to send the money. The money I had won on my account came from free spins after depositing the minimum required, $15. I also wagered the deposit as they asked and completed the KYC (approved). I deposited in LTC crypto and requested a withdrawal in LTC. After they cancelled my withdrawal, they not only took my winnings but also a good portion of my deposit.

Hello gabbo98,

We would like to update you that due to Tomas, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Tomas 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 Tomas will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Perfect, I'm waiting for news. I wanted to change my previous answer because I had misread the first question: yes, I tried to withdraw the full amount which includes the winnings that the deposit wagered as requested by the casino but in the end they cancelled the withdrawal.

Dear gabbo98,

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.

So it's not my fault if they had several registrations from Italy as I found the bonus advertisement here on CasinoGuru, furthermore I simply deposited what they asked for to get the free spins and the amount I won was wager X1, then I also wagered my deposit as per their request so I don't see what rules I violated.

Answering your questions:

No, none of my family members have ever signed up to 5bet.

I didn't use any VPN

I only deposited that amount because it was the requirement to unlock the free spins

I only used the PC to register and play 5bet

Hello Michal

But you weren't in contact with the casino? How is it possible that you haven't been able to solve this problem for me after 2 months? This is absurd, I demand that the casino responds IMMEDIATELY!!!

Dear gabbo98,

I'm in contact with the casino team. Your case has proven to be more complex than it appeared at the beginning. I must review the overall context of the matter before I can reach an informed conclusion.

Thank you for your patience.

Dear Michal

I understand that you have to come to a final conclusion, but you also have to understand that two months have passed! From my point of view, there's nothing they can hold against me because I did everything right and at their request. I hope this disaster ends soon on a positive note.

Dear gabbo98,

I understand your frustration, particularly as this matter has now been ongoing for around two months. I also acknowledge your position that you followed the casino’s requirements and believe there are no justified grounds for its actions.

However, based on the information and supporting evidence provided, the casino team had grounds for its decision from a strictly contractual perspective. I appreciate that this differs from your understanding, but we must take the applicable rules and the evidence into account when assessing your complaint.

Our review also considers whether the application of those rules was fair and proportionate in the overall circumstances. In particular, it has not yet been sufficiently established whether the circumstances identified by the casino involved deliberate action on your part or whether your activity provided you with an unfair advantage. These are the points I am continuing to discuss with the casino team before reaching a final conclusion.

I have emphasised the need for a prompt response, given the time you have already waited. While I cannot require the casino to respond immediately or guarantee a favourable outcome, I am working to bring this review to a conclusion as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued patience. I will update you once I receive further clarification.

Dear gabbo98,

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
