Chipnwin LLC (2810 N Church St, Wilmington, DE 19802) is a Delaware-registered LLC operating the online sweepstakes casino Chip'n WIN (chipnwin.com). They unlawfully confiscated $1,502.26 in verified sweepstakes prizes two minutes after I asked support how to redeem.

On 10/26/2026 at 5:06 AM CT, I purchased a $6.99 Gold Coin package and passed full identity verification, receiving written confirmation stating "Congrats! You're Verified". Through legitimate gameplay, I won 1,502.26 Sweeps Coins (redeemable under their published rules for $1,502.26 USD).

At around 9:01 AM CT, I contacted Chip'n WIN customer support to ask which redemption method I should use to stay in compliance with their Terms and Conditions. Their representative told me I could use the card linked to my account or purchase another package with the card I wanted redemptions sent to. Two minutes later, at 9:03 AM CT, my account was suddenly suspended, and at 9:05 AM CT, my account was permanently closed with no reason given.

When I asked whether the closure was related to my payment method (a business Cash App card via Google Pay for my sole-owner LLC), support representative Victoria confirmed in writing at 4:03 PM CT: "Please note that this decision was not related to your Gold Coin purchase or the payment method you used."

When asked to identify the specific rule I violated, Victoria replied at 5:20 PM CT citing Sections 4.2.8 and 4.2.9 of their Terms ("prohibited activity or AML/financial crime risk") while claiming they are "unable to disclose the specific reason". However, turning a single $6.99 purchase into $1,502.26 in winnings is the opposite of pass-through AML activity, and they never requested a single piece of KYC or verification documentation despite my proactive offer to provide ID, proof of address, and business ownership records.

On 10/27/2026, support representative Ingrid issued an unsolicited $6.99 refund for my Gold Coin purchase (which Cash App subsequently bounced and returned to the merchant on 11/06/2026) while stating that my $1,502.26 prize claim "remains under review by our team."

On 11/06/2026, I served a formal Pre-Arbitration Notice of Dispute. On 11/08/2026, Ingrid replied confirming that the matter was "escalated to the relevant department for a thorough investigation," yet my $1,502.26 prize remains unpaid.

This incident is also logged with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC Report #209139333), the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (File #186656), and the Delaware Department of Justice. I am requesting Casino.Guru's mediation to compel Chip'n WIN to honor its rules and process the full payout of my $1,502.26 balance.
