CasinoFriday - Player’s winnings have been confiscated.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €68

CasinoFriday
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Finland had won 68 euros using a wager-free bonus but was banned from the casino and had her initial deposit refunded without her winnings. She claimed she had not been informed about any requirement to play the winnings since they were wager-free. The casino invalidated her winnings due to alleged breaches of terms related to multiple accounts and bonus abuse, while refunding her deposit. After investigation, we found her gameplay did not indicate unfair advantage, but the presence of multiple accounts raised concerns under the casino's Anti-Money Laundering policy. Therefore, the casino's decision to ban her and withhold winnings was upheld, and the complaint was rejected as unjustified.

I used an bonus from casinofriday.com, which gave me 100 free spins wager free. I won 68 euros from it after that I was banned from the casino and refunded my intial deposit without the winnings.


I wasnt informed that I had to play the wininnings it was wager free.


Therefore this is unfair and casinos cant just claim their winnings back since I didnt play the winnings it was wager free.

Thanks for your reply.

When playing roulette with your real money, have you played with low risk, for example, by betting on both black and white?

Please let me know

Hello,


We have observed the player's gameplay involved low-risk betting on Roulette designed specifically to circumvent bonus wagering requirements without risk. Additionally, the player's account was found to be linked to other users via a shared IP address/fixed line.


We want to highlight the following terms and conditions that have been breached:


§10.1 Only one Account per person, household, IP address and computer device is allowed. Creating multiple user accounts may result in termination of the accounts and suspension of any withdrawals. If two or more users share the same household, IP address and computer device, the users need to inform us. You shall not provide access to your account or allow any third party use of the website including but not limited to minors. Any withdrawals, winnings or bonuses which you have gained or accrued during such time as the duplicate account was active may be reclaimed by us, and you undertake to return to us on demand any such funds which have been withdrawn from the duplicate account. Should we decide to leave one account open, it will be the first account that you opened with us and to which your remaining deposits, if any, will be transferred. We will deduct an administrative fee of 10% (but a minimum administrative fee of thirty Euro (€30) or equivalent in your local currency) for every other account you opened in breach of these terms, as well as any other deductions that may apply in accordance with the provisions of these terms and conditions.


§17.1.8 You must not engage in any activity which is intended to take unfair advantage of a bonus. In the event of a breach of this requirement, CasinoFriday reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate the promotion at any time, to void any wager funded by the bonus and remove any winnings from such wager.


In accordance with these terms, the player's winnings have been invalidated. However, we have successfully refunded the initial deposit to the original payment method used for the transaction.

Yes, first of all I would like to mention that creating accounts in Finland is not easy at all as I need to log in with my social security number.


I would also like to mention that I use public wifi alot as I do not have mobile plan. The TOS didnt mention anything about public wifis?




How can I "void wagering" when theres no wagering other than deposit wagering. I think thats unfair since the winnings ARE wager free.

Theres no rules on how should I wager my deposit? I think the rules unclear that I canr wager on roulette. You guys still had an edge for me to go ruin and lose my balance.

Hello,


we'd like to refer to our last comment from the 18th of December. In accordance with the terms breached, the player's winnings have been invalidated. However, we have successfully refunded the initial deposit to the original payment method used for the transaction.  The player has been made whole regarding their own funds.


Additionally, we have sent further details regarding this complaint to  jakub.m@casino.guru on Tue, 30 Dec 2025.

Dear marya,

Following a thorough investigation and review of the information provided by the casino, we regret to inform you that we are unable to uphold your complaint.

From our perspective, your gameplay style (while unusual) did not raise concerns regarding the gaining of an unfair advantage. However, the presence of multiple accounts created within a similar timeframe, combined with closely matching deposit amounts and gameplay patterns, raised serious concerns in relation to the casino’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy.


Given these circumstances, we must support the casino’s decision and consider their actions to be justified. Consequently, your complaint has been rejected as unjustified.


Thank you for your understanding. We are sorry that we could not provide a more favorable resolution in this case. Should you encounter any further issues with this or any other casino in the future, please do not hesitate to contact our Complaint Resolution Center. We remain at your disposal and are always here to assist.


Best Regards,

Kubo
