I wish to file a complaint against Casinova casino, which has left me in a desperate situation.


A few months ago, after depositing what I think was 50 euros via bank transfer (without any bonuses or free spins), I had a lucky streak, reaching a balance of 20,000 euros. I lost some of it and decided to stop and withdraw my winnings. I now have a balance of 16,500 euros.

I had already withdrawn sums of money without too much trouble on this same site.

So, on May 11th, I submitted my first withdrawal request for 500 euros, then another the next day, and another the day after that. After a week of seeing no progress, I contacted them. They told me there was no problem and that my payment would arrive soon. I waited and waited, but nothing happened. So I sent another email asking if any documents were required.

I was told no.

Still nothing, and it's dragging on... So I decide to submit an initial request on a mediation website. After several days (weeks), they finally ask me for more documents.

So I sent them my documents by email. They came back saying I had to upload them directly to their website, even though they had assured me they could send them by email. Anyway, they finally accepted the email. After three days, they came back and told me the format wasn't suitable. So I sent them again in the correct format.

Then they came back and told me my proof of address (a bank statement) had been altered. I told them no, that I had downloaded it directly from the La Banque Postale website, one of the oldest authorized French banks, and that I obviously hadn't changed it at all. It's a PDF. Just to be on the safe side, I sent new ones. Same result. No explanation. Just the document rejected for alteration.

I therefore sent my property tax bill directly from the state website. I haven't heard anything for two days.

In the meantime, they had cancelled my withdrawal requests without justification.

Moreover, after each refusal they send me 25% cashback offers by email to celebrate "my exceptional balance" to encourage me to play again and lose.

It goes without saying that I won't spend another penny on their site until I've received all my winnings, but I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I really need this money and I'm starting to get desperate.

I beg you to help me. I'm an honest person. I didn't cheat; I played, I won—it's as simple as that. When I lose, I don't complain. That's supposed to be part of the game. And I obviously didn't alter my documents. Why would I?

I have attached several screenshots and am of course available for any further questions or documents.

Thank you in advance, you are my last hope.

Sincerely

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

  • What types of games did you play to accumulate your winnings? Were they slots, live casino games, or sports betting?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without a bonus?
  • When was the last time you submitted any document to the casino for verification, and which document was it?
  • Could you please forward me the documents that you sent to the casino and that are still pending verification? My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru.

Good morning

I only played on slot machines.

I started by getting 5vs on Wanted. Then I played a slightly larger bet and accumulated the winnings.

Note that they do not question them since they constantly send me exceptional cashback offers to encourage me to play them again.

I did not use any bonuses or free spins.

I sent them my bank statements about two weeks ago. They claimed they had been updated, which is obviously false. Then I sent my property tax bill a week ago. That was also rejected. And four days ago, I sent a paper water bill.

I'm sending you the documents by email.

It's been two months now that I've received almost nothing but generic replies. It's exhausting.

Thank you so much

Update :

My water bill was also rejected; "it appears to be a photocopy or a printed document".

Not at all. It's an invoice that I received directly from my supplier, which is my city of residence, and that I photographed directly on my living room table.

So, 3 bank statements refused, a property tax refused, and now my water bill.

All these documents are obviously authentic and unaltered. I'm starting to run out, but on the other hand, I have the feeling that I could send 40 and it wouldn't make any difference.

I was really hoping to be able to treat my children for the holidays and I am truly desperate.

Good morning

I'm here to add an update.

I sent one last document that I thought was absolutely impossible to refuse.

Namely, proof of address from my energy supplier.


This document is an original digital PDF containing a genuine French 2D-Doc security barcode—a cryptographic system regulated by the French authorities that makes any alteration practically impossible.

And despite that, same price, same generic refusal

So

I am attaching the document by email.

Thank you so much
