I just chatted with Casinova support again because my withdrawal of only 40 euros from October 14th was canceled on October 17th, 2025 and canceled again today, October 22nd, 2025. When I asked about it, I was told on October 17th, 2025 that my bank had refused the money. Ridiculous, because my bank would have informed me immediately. Today I was told that it was the payment provider's fault. I've been playing at Casinova and other casinos in the NovaForge Ltd. chain for a while now. I mostly lost. Recently, however, I've been winning more often because I found a game that finally allows you to make a profit, which I then played in several of these casinos. Now I haven't received any bonuses for some time. I assume it's because I've won several times. And just a moment ago I asked why this was the case, because before, when I mostly lost, it worked. All I got was a response that management would no longer credit me with bonuses and that this was non-negotiable and final. I'm actually a player who hardly ever actually used a bonus. I had previously won with this game, so I deleted the bonus unused. I don't know the reason why I'm no longer receiving bonuses. I also noticed that this game isn't working the way it used to. Something has clearly changed, and after several new deposits, I'm no longer receiving any winnings. Casinova isn't the only casino in the Anjouan Gaming to NovaForge Ltd. chain that I play at. After diligently depositing for almost a year and earning some winnings with my new favorite game at several of these casinos, I'm suddenly no longer receiving bonuses at any of the casinos in this chain. Why don't they explain to me what I did wrong? I think, like other players I know, that only people who lose money there get bonuses. I find it completely incorrect and dubious that you don't even get an explanation. You're really being taken for a fool here. I've recently recorded and saved all chats and procedures, as well as game sequences, etc. with my Snapping Tool. This is absolutely dubious behavior towards loyal players. I've now requested a withdrawal of the money again. I'll let you know whether it was paid out. But it certainly wasn't my bank's fault. That's for sure. And the fact that I'm no longer winning at the casino certainly has nothing to do with the payment provider. I've now requested a withdrawal of just 40 euros for the third time. I've recorded everything in words and pictures. It's a matter of principle. If something improper happens, you should at least be honest enough to tell the customer/player what's going on, and you certainly shouldn't allow the player to continue depositing. They've changed the system so much that even a layperson would notice. So I've now suffered significant losses. This shouldn't be allowed to happen. The casinos have to abide by the terms and conditions just as much as the players do. I'm very, very angry.

Dear Gardenias.Garden, 

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

  • Have you changed the payment method as was suggested by the casino support, please?  
  • Could you please confirm that you have passed the KYC verification? 
  • Which payment method to withdraw your winnings have you opted for?

Regarding your concern about insufficient winnings, please understand that outcomes in casino games are inherently variable. While occasional periods of higher winnings may occur, there are also times when winnings may be less frequent. This variability is intrinsic to the nature of casino gaming. I would recommend reading our article about Payout ratio (RTP): https://casino.guru/learn-about-games-of-chance-rtp-variance

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, 

Katarina

Hello. I've been playing at Casinova and other casinos in the NovaForge Ltd. chain for about a year. Apart from a few small wins, I've never won much. Overall, I've lost far more than I've won. Nevertheless, I enjoyed playing because it sometimes helped me distract myself. About three months ago, I discovered a game that I could win with, which I then naturally tried at other casinos in the NovaForge Ltd. chain. In two of the aforementioned casinos, I even managed to win larger amounts. These paid out without any problems. However, suddenly, I stopped receiving bonuses at any of the casinos I played at, and it was clearly noticeable that the games I knew well were playing differently. I'm quite sure this can be manipulated. In any case, the €40 that Casinova isn't paying me out can hardly be considered a win. It's basically just my last two bets. I find this so inaccurate and dubious. I've asked several times now why I'm no longer receiving bonuses and why my money isn't being paid out. Months ago, Casinova was still paying out correctly, but as I said, the winnings back then were always small, if any. They haven't given me any information, even though I believe that as a loyal customer, I have the right to know what I did wrong that suddenly caused such problems in all of the aforementioned casinos. I would like to emphasize again that I've rarely actually used a bonus because it took too long for me to implement them. In short, the casinos have changed completely. I've registered a few times at casinos in the same chain to see how the bonuses work there. Sometimes you still get the welcome bonus, but then realize after a short time that they're working against you. (I can judge this well, as I know the game I'm playing very well.) After the welcome bonus, however, there are no more bonuses, and the free spins no longer work either. I no longer have any rights in this regard. Since yesterday, I noticed that my purchased free spins at another casino were suddenly taken away. I think what's going on here is absolutely terrible. Why don't they tell me they no longer want me as a customer? Then I wouldn't have had to deposit so much again in the last few days to find out the truth on my own?

To answer your question, no, I haven't changed anything about my payment method. Everything is the same as always on my end. KYC has never been required at these casinos. Both outgoing and incoming payments always go to the same account.

I'm pretty sure they don't want me anymore, since I've won a few times. I've also spoken to other players about this, and they've told me similar things.

Just for your information. I've now gambled away the outstanding amount. I'm getting fed up with waiting around. I've since deposited money at several more casinos in this aforementioned casino chain. Everything I said has been confirmed. They manipulated everything; after I've made a few winnings, I no longer have a chance. As of today, casino gambling is over for me for good. When I say dubious and incorrect, that's putting it mildly. I know exactly what I'm talking about because I'm no longer a beginner and can judge very well that the winnings/the game are certainly not based on a random generator here, but rather that this is manipulation at its finest. If they've excluded you, your winnings are over. I didn't expect any help from this platform either. This is all just a waste of time and a trivialization of things as they happen. I have a lot of screenshots and recordings that show everything in detail because I really wanted to take action against this incorrect practice. I have now decided to stay away from online casinos. It's the same as throwing your money out the window these days. For a while, you still had a chance. Or better yet, they let you win a few times. But if you're too clever, they will restrict you so much that you won't win a single thing, no matter what or how you play. I was always against gambling, until a year ago, when someone recommended online casinos to me. But these people have a completely different attitude and think the same thing I do: that the era of casinos is over because they can't survive any longer. It was a very educational experience for me. Never again online casinos! By the way, the sites that recommend online casinos (including those that have long been blacklisted) should also be banned. As far as I'm concerned, you can now exclude me from this as well. I'm curious whether my last post here will even be made public. So, you can now close this case. I've just helped myself, and I hope other people will too, who will hopefully take this to heart.
