Case summary

The player from Austria had won a jackpot on a wheel of fortune, with the winnings credited to his account and confirmed via email. However, the casino later claimed it was a software error and deleted his balance. The complaint was resolved by confirming that multiple players had experienced the same jackpot glitch simultaneously, indicating a system failure. According to the casino's terms and conditions, winnings resulting from technical errors could be voided. Therefore, the complaint was closed as the casino was entitled to remove the winnings based on the game provider's confirmation of the error.

I hit the jackpot on a wheel of fortune. The money was credited to my player account. I also received an email confirming my jackpot win. Now the casino claims it was a software error and has deleted my balance.

I've been playing at this casino for several years now... mostly slots games.

I won this jackpot playing the game Dark Water 3.

I have already made many deposits and withdrawals, so my account is verified.

And I still have access to my account.

Dear Lerche,

Thank you for your response and for providing additional details about your situation. We regret to inform you that we are unable to assist you in this instance. It has come to our attention that multiple players reported a glitch in the same game simultaneously across various platforms.


We fully understand how frustrating this situation must be, particularly since the winnings were initially credited to your account and everything seemed to be functioning correctly from your perspective during the game. After a thorough review of the information provided, we found that several players experienced a similar situation on the same date when jackpot winnings were credited and subsequently removed due to a technical issue. While we empathize with your concerns, this actually reinforces the conclusion that a larger system failure occurred on that day. Jackpot systems are designed such that a specific jackpot can only be won once at a given level; therefore, if multiple players appear to have won the same or similar jackpot within a short timeframe, it strongly indicates a system failure rather than multiple valid wins. In such instances, casinos rely on data from the game provider, who bears responsibility for the proper functioning of the game and its jackpot mechanics. If the provider confirms that a technical error occurred, the casino is entitled to void any winnings that were the result of this error, in accordance with their terms and conditions:


IF YOU RECEIVE ANY WINNINGS OR BONUSES (OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR BENEFIT) ("BENEFITS") AS A RESULT OF ANY ERROR MADE BY US OR ON OUR BEHALF (WHETHER TECHNICAL OR MANUAL) IN CALCULATING, ALLOCATING OR DISTRIBUTING BENEFITS, WE MAY VOID THE BENEFITS AND, TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED OR BEEN CREDITED WITH A PAYMENT IN RESPECT OF THE SAME, YOU WILL REPAY THAT AMOUNT TO US OR WE MAY DEDUCT IT FROM YOUR ACCOUNT.



We sincerely wish we could be of more assistance in this matter, but given the circumstances, we are unable to proceed further. Consequently, we must close this complaint.


We’re sorry we couldn’t help you resolve this issue, but please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in the future if you encounter any problems with this or any other casino. We’ll be more than happy to do our best to assist you.


Best regards

Attila
