Chipstars Casino - Player's account is closed with funds confiscated.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €43,749

Chipstars Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Ireland reported that his account had been closed and the casino had confiscated the majority of his funds (€38,333.96), offering only €5,415.04 as a goodwill gesture. He claimed that accepting cashback and rakeback benefits had led to this action, despite having wagered significant amounts to reach his balance. The Complaints Team communicated with the casino, which provided evidence of an exploit that had allowed the player to wager bonuses risk-free. As a result, the steps taken by the casino were deemed justified, and the complaint was rejected.

I have played at this casino for many months now and I was able to withdraw funds previously. Suddenly they closed my account and I received emails on March 17 and March 19 2025 saying that they have confiscated the vast majority of my funds (€38,333.96) and will only return €5,415.04 to me as a "goodwill gesture."


It turns out that my crime was to accept the benefits in good faith which they offered me such as cashback and rakeback.


I had to wager thousands and maybe even millions of euros to reach my balance, with great risk to my funds. Previously I had made big losses at the casino.


Please could you assist me with my case. (Emails text file attached)

Did you play casino games or bet on sports?

Could you please confirm that you have passed the KYC verification?

Has the casino specified the bonus abuse?

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.

Hi Dominika


Thank you for trying to help me. To answer your questions:


1) I only played casino.

2) I do not recall being asked about KYC and I have searched my email and there's nothing there.

3) The casino has not specified the abuse, only offering a general statement (as per previously attached email exchange text file)... "Upon review, we have identified that there has been an instance of bonus abuse related to the Rakeback incentive. This action is in violation of our Terms and Conditions, which you can review via this link https://chipstars.bet/legal/terms-and-conditions (please refer to the ABUSE OF BONUSES section, term 6)"

Dear dsp99RF, I wanted to check in and see if you have communicated with the casino since your last reply. Have you been able to find out any specifics about the bonus abuse they mentioned?

Are you absolutely sure you only played casino games?

Any additional information they provided could help us address your case more effectively.

Hello dsp99RF,

We would like to update you that due to Peter, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Peter has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Peter will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Thank you for providing me with the information Chipstars Casino representative.

Dear dsp99RF, the casino has provided me with a report from the game provider of an exploit of a game that allowed you to always receive the same amount you bet on a round. With this, you were able to wager multiple bonuses, rakebacks, and cashback at no risk. As the casino returned your deposits, we believe the steps they have taken to be justified in this situation, and we will subsequently reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Peter
