The player from Austria faced account blockage at Chipstars.bet after requesting a withdrawal of his €2,000 winnings, following a prior claim for a refund of €2,079 in losses. His account had been under review by the legal department since July 2, 2026, and he had not received updates despite multiple inquiries. He said he had submitted all requested KYC documents before the block, but he was unable to provide the full casino correspondence or clarify whether he had mentioned possible chargebacks. Based on the available evidence and his limited cooperation, we found no sufficient grounds to conclude that the casino had acted unreasonably, and the complaint was closed as rejected.

I would like to describe my current case with Chipstars.bet and hope for a fair and timely solution.
Between June 24, 2026 and June 30, 2026, I lost a total of approximately €2,079 at Chipstars.bet. Due to the legal situation regarding online gambling for players from Austria, I subsequently claimed a refund of my losses from the casino.
Two days later, I deposited another €600 and subsequently won €2,000. I then requested a withdrawal of my balance and submitted the documents required by the casino for verification (KYC).
Shortly after that, I could no longer log into my account. My account was blocked.
On July 2, 2026, I received notification from the casino that my case had been forwarded to the legal department and that my account would remain blocked until the review was completed. Since then, I have not received any concrete statement from the legal department.
On July 15, 2026, I contacted the live chat again and explicitly requested a payout of my balance. I was informed that a large part of the team was currently on vacation and that the legal department's response could therefore be delayed by another 2-3 weeks.
I understand that an internal review can take time. However, my winnings of €2,000 are still with the casino, and I currently have no access to my account.
I therefore hope for the support of Casino Guru and wish for a timely resolution of the case. I am prepared to provide all necessary evidence and information.
My goal is a fair solution and the payout of my balance of €2,000.
In addition, my previously asserted claim for reimbursement of my earlier losses in the amount of €2,079 remains valid. In my view, this claim should be considered separately from the current payout of my credit balance.

Hello, Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm truly sorry to hear about your issue with Chipstars Casino. However, I'd like to inform you that we accept the situation when the casino allows players from restricted countries to open an account as long as they don't use this as an opportunity to later cancel the player's legitimate winnings. In other words, if the casino allows players from restricted countries to deposit and play, they should pay out their winnings as well.
Therefore, I would like to emphasize that we investigate further and help only those players whose funds (or winnings) have been confiscated due to being from a restricted country.
Could you please advise how much currently is your withdrawable balance?
Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Attila

TranslationHello Attila,
Thank you very much for your feedback and for taking on my case.
My current outstanding withdrawable amount is €2,000. I won this amount after a deposit of €600 and subsequently requested a withdrawal.
Before requesting a withdrawal, I submitted all the KYC/verification documents requested by the casino. Shortly thereafter, my account was blocked. The casino informed me on July 2, 2026, that my case had been forwarded to the legal team.
My current outstanding payout amount is therefore €2,000.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards

Dear All,
My name is Michal, and I will be taking over this case from now on. Thank you for your responses so far.
Dear Niklas6850,
Could you kindly forward the complete email and live chat correspondence you had with the casino team to me at michal.k@casino.guru? From my review, it appears that some information relevant to this situation may not have been shared with us yet.
Additionally, could you please confirm whether you have indicated to the casino your intention to potentially initiate chargebacks on your deposits? This information would help us gain a more complete understanding of the situation.
I appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your clarification, as well as any additional evidence you can provide.

Dear Niklas6850,
Are you saying that you no longer have access to the emails you exchanged with the casino team? If so, could you please explain why you no longer have them? In most cases, emails remain available in the inbox or Sent folder for a considerable period of time, often for years, unless they have been actively deleted or the email account is no longer accessible.
Without access to the correspondence from your side, I may unfortunately be in a difficult position when assessing the matter independently. In particular, without the additional evidence and context from your side, I would have very limited grounds on which to challenge or question the information and evidence provided by the casino.
As of now, the casino's actions appear to have been significantly influenced by the circumstances and your communication with the casino team. Therefore, having access to the full correspondence from your side would be particularly important, as it could potentially provide additional context that may allow me to assess whether the casino's actions were justified.
Without such evidence from your side, however, I may ultimately have to rely on the information and evidence provided by the casino, which could make it difficult for me to reach a different conclusion or challenge the casino's position.
Additionally, since you have not responded to my question, I have to reiterate it. Could you please confirm whether you have indicated to the casino your intention to potentially initiate chargebacks on your deposits?

TranslationHello
I don't think we'll achieve anything this way. I want the complaint deleted and my public review of the casino published. Perhaps then the casino will take notice and get back to me.
Thanks

TranslationI've been writing back and forth with you for three weeks now, and absolutely nothing has happened. As I said, I've been waiting for a response from the casino since July 2nd, 2026. In the live chat, I keep getting the same fobbed-off answer.

Dear Niklas6850,
Thank you for your response.
I understand your frustration with the length of the process and with the casino's handling of your case. However, I also need to be transparent about the limitations of our mediation process based on your cooperation.
During the investigation, the casino provided information indicating that its actions were significantly influenced by circumstances surrounding your communication with the casino team and events preceding the account restriction. In order to independently assess whether the casino's actions were justified, I requested additional information from your side, including the relevant correspondence and clarification regarding a specific question that could have a material impact on the case.
Unfortunately, you were unable to provide the requested correspondence and chose not to address the question regarding whether you had indicated an intention to initiate chargebacks against your deposits. This information is highly relevant to the circumstances of the dispute. As an independent mediator, I must assess cases based on the available evidence from both parties. When one side does not provide sufficient information or declines to clarify key aspects of the case, my ability to challenge the opposing party's position becomes severely limited.
As I indicated previously, we expect both players and casinos to cooperate fully and provide complete, transparent, and truthful information throughout the complaint process. Based on the evidence currently available to me, I do not find sufficient grounds to conclude that the casino acted unreasonably or in contradiction to the usual industry standards.
Since you have also requested that we discontinue our involvement in this matter, I will proceed with closing the complaint as Rejected.
Please understand that this outcome does not constitute a legal determination regarding your claims. It simply means that, based on the evidence available and the level of cooperation received from you during the investigation, we are unable to align with your perspective.
You remain free to pursue the matter through any other channels you consider appropriate if you still feel your position is justified. I would be interested to know how this case concluded, so kindly let me know at michal.k@casino.guru.
Should you encounter issues with this or any other casino in the future and will be willing to fully cooperate with the investigation process, we will be happy to assist in the scope of our role as an independent dispute mediator.
Kind regards,
Michal
Casino Guru
