Case summary

The player from Finland had successfully completed the wagering requirements for a welcome bonus but faced issues with a withdrawal request. The casino claimed that the same IP address had been used before, leading to the cancellation of the payout and withholding of winnings, which he contested as fraudulent activity. The Complaints Team attempted to resolve the issue by contacting the casino multiple times without success. Due to the casino's lack of cooperation, the complaint was marked as unresolved and the casino's rating was negatively affected. The player was advised to contact the relevant licensing authorities for further assistance.

Hi! I played the welcome bonus at this casino normally. When I finished the wagering, I made a withdrawal request normally. About a day passed, and the casino sent me an email claiming that the same IP had been used before. This cannot be true, and is a complete lie and fraudulent activity on the part of the casino to keep my money. I demand that Betsson stop this cheating, and give me my money as it should be. So their reason is not valid at any level. I am attaching their email that they sent: "Hi Maxim,

We are contacting you regarding your account.

We would like to inform you that your payout has been canceled and the winnings withheld as per our terms and conditions 12.1


"12.1 Any Bonus is only available once per person, family, household, address, e-mail address, credit card number, bank account, telephone number, computer/device and / or IP address."

We thank you for your understanding with this matter.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or live chat.


We wish you a great rest of the day.


Best regards,

Tiffany

Betsson Customer Service."

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.  

  • Is there any chance that someone from your household or using the same IP address has also created an account at this casino?  
  • Could you please advise if you have passed the KYC verification? 
  • How long have you been a player at this casino, please? 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply. 

Best regards,

Hi! There is no way anyone has played from my IP before, and I live alone so the chances of this are practically zero. The casino didn't even ask me for any KYC verification, they just coldly closed my account and sent me the email mentioned above. I registered at the casino 1 day before I received that email from them, so it's only my first time as their customer, and right after I received a withdrawal they deleted my account so I couldn't get my money out. Here is the link to the casino I used: https://www.betsson.com/en Best regards, Maxim

Hello maximfuksman1,

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

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Hello maximfuksman1, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej and I will be taking care of your complaint going forward. I've just reviewed this case and fully appreciate your concerns regarding the voided bonus winnings. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.


I’d like to invite a representative of Betsson Casino AR to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you please provide more details about how the rule 12.1 has been broken? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence.

I have found additional way how to contact the casino representatives, and in hopes of getting the casino to respond to this complaint and reach amicable resolution, I am prolonging the timer until Friday 23rd January, before closing this complaint as unresolved, which will negatively impact casino rating within our review.

Dear maximfuksman1,

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


As a next step, I do recommend you contact the authorities the casino is licensed with:

If you need help with submitting the request, or if you hear back from either the authority or the casino, please let me know by sending me a quick message at matej.l@casino.guru. I am really sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. :(

Best regards,

Matej
