Case summary

The player from Germany secured second place in a tournament at Bruno Casino, winning €20,000, but did not receive the prize after the tournament ended on August 31. Following his inquiry, he was informed that his account was closed, and he sought assistance to claim his winnings, as he had followed all the tournament rules. The Complaints Team communicated with the casino, which provided evidence of bonus manipulation linked to the player's account, leading to its closure and the withholding of winnings. Consequently, the team's conclusion was that the casino's actions were justified, and the complaint was rejected.

Hello Casino Guru,


I participated in the VIP Golden Sunsets tournament at Bruno Casino in August. The prizes for the tournament were

1st place €30,000

2nd place €20,000

3rd place 10,000€


The tournament ended on August 31st, and I secured second place for €20,000.


My prize wasn't credited after the tournament ended. I contacted the VIP Manager, and it was forwarded for review. I checked every day, and today I received an email informing me that my account had been closed, along with an excerpt from the terms and conditions.


I need help claiming my winnings. I also participated in this tournament in July and had no problems. Here are screenshots of the tournament rules. filefile

I adhered to these rules completely, played without a bonus, and only had one account. I don't understand why Bruno Casino isn't paying out my prize.

Please help me Casino Guru

Hello Tomas, I sent you an email with all the details.


The rankings were publicly visible when logged in, but they were removed after the tournament ended. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a screenshot of my ranking, but Bruno Casino probably still has all the information.


I can confirm that I took second place and was due to receive €20,000 in prize money. I had already achieved that a month earlier, and there were no such problems.

Hello Tomas, yes, I only played with real money and also deposited money for it.

I played several slots. As far as I can remember, Triple Tigers, 888 Dragons, and others. All from Pragmatic Play, and I played at the lowest possible stake. There was no minimum bet required for this tournament, and I followed all the rules.

Hello there,

Thank you Luke2000 for providing us with all the information. I hope we'll be able to resolve this issue together.

I would now like to ask Bruno Casino for their help in resolving this complaint. We would like to know why the player's account was closed and their winnings confiscated.

Thank you!

Dear Luke2000,


You are reminded that all terms and conditions (including the bonus policy) are clearly described in our Terms and Conditions. These terms and conditions are written in plain language and are readily available on every page of our website, both before and after registration. By accepting these provisions during the account registration process, you have exercised your free will and economic freedom to participate in our public offer, thereby forming a legal contract between our parties, subject to applicable law as stated therein.


According to clause 12 of the Terms and Conditions:


The Company enforces a strict anti-fraud policy, utilising advanced tools and techniques to detect fraudulent activities. If a player is suspected of engaging in fraudulent actions, such as collusion, chargebacks, multiple account creation, or other forms of misconduct, the Company reserves the right to terminate the account and suspend all payouts at its sole discretion, without prior notice. Additionally, the Company may report such activities to relevant regulatory authorities. Fraudulent behaviour includes but is not limited to exploiting software vulnerabilities, manipulating game outcomes, or delaying game rounds to gain an unfair advantage.


Should the Casino become aware of any user who has accepted a bonus or a promotion with the sole purpose of creating a positive expected value on bonus return by using known practices aimed at securing cash out of said bonus, or in any way try to take advantage of bonuses received by the Casino, then we will enforce immediate confiscation of winnings and closure of the account, with the right to withhold any further withdrawals. An example of advantage play would be delaying any game round in any game, including Free Spins features and bonus features, to a later time when you have no more wagering requirements and/or performing new deposit(s) while having Free Spins features or bonus features still available in the game. The Casino reserves the right to withhold any withdrawals and/or confiscate all winnings.


The Casino prohibits player collusion and does not allow any kind of robots and programmed devices to participate in gameplay.


By this letter we inform you that the account has been closed due to fraudulent activity.


Dear Peter,


We have sent you an email with further information.


Best regards,

Bruno Casino

Thank you for providing me with the information Bruno Casino representative.

Dear Luke2000, the casino has provided me with evidence that after your winnings in the first tournament following that payout, the casino's systems identified a pattern of bonus manipulation from your account, using the remaining bonus funds to gain an unfair advantage. This activity is a direct violation of their policies, which are designed to ensure fair play. As a result, the account was restricted from receiving any further bonuses or rewards, which is why the winnings from the second tournament could not be received.

Additionally, since all remaining funds in your account were used for gameplay and no winnings were confiscated, we find the account closure to be justified. It is generally accepted that casinos may close player accounts as long as all outstanding winnings have been properly settled.

With this in mind, we believe the casino's actions to be justified, and we will subsequently reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Peter
