Case summary

The player from Germany won €7,000 after depositing €50 but faced a cancellation of his withdrawal due to an alleged violation of terms related to using a VPN or obfuscating his IP address. Despite his claims of not using any such measures, the casino's support team stated their decision was final, and he sought guidance on how to proceed. The Complaints Team attempted to mediate by reaching out to the casino for clarification on the confiscation of winnings but received no response. Consequently, the complaint was marked as "unresolved," with recommendations to contact the Kahnawake Gaming Authority for further assistance.

Good morning,

I am a registered and verified player on froggybet13.io/casino.

I deposited €50 there without a bonus and played only slots. This allowed me to win €7,000. I then requested my first withdrawal of €500.

The next day, however, there was only €553 left in my player account, and I received the following email from the casino:

Email from the casino:

We would like to inform you that your withdrawal has been cancelled and the amount of €6,447.09 has been removed from your balance due to a violation of the following terms and conditions:

5.9.5 The company reserves the right to cancel winnings and retain credit balances (winnings and deposits), terminate the contract and/or deactivate the account if:

i) an obfuscation or manipulation of the IP address is detected (e.g. by using a VPN);

ii) the customer has used forged documents;

iii) there is a well-founded suspicion of bonus abuse;

iv) fraudulent, manipulative or other unlawful activities are detected.

Please note that you still have €553 available in your player account. Should you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I then contacted live chat support and asked which specific condition I was supposed to have violated. The answer was:

"This decision was made based on a proxy detection on your network, which violates our terms and conditions."

However, I have never used a VPN or any other technical means to mask my IP address – why would I?

When I tried to clarify this in the chat, I only received the following reply:

"Our decision is final and was made in accordance with our terms and conditions."




What should I do now ?

Regards, Mario

Thank you for the quick response, Kristina.

I have been registered since at least June, possibly even earlier.

Unfortunately, I cannot access the Froggyybet account during the course.

We can only look back three months and therefore cannot pinpoint the exact time.

I cannot trace my registration.

The KYC verification was successfully completed.

and in the past, payouts have been carried out without any problems.

Regards, Mario

The casino is not answering my questions and they refuse to provide proof of a VPN.

Hello Peter


I also contacted the Kahnawake Gaming Authority.

( [email protected] )

The following was her answer

Thank you for contacting the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC).

After checking via VPN, we were able to confirm that froggybet13.io does not possess a KGC license. The website also states that the operator is registered in Costa Rica.

Unfortunately, we cannot help you with this matter.

Best regards

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hello Peter


I've found the following out, and maybe it will help you solve my case.




The Ministry of Public Security (https://www.seguridadpublica.go.cr/tramites_servicios/casinos.aspx) is the central regulatory authority for gambling in Costa Rica. It issues and oversees licenses for hotel-based casinos as well as for data processing companies (often known as "call connection" or "processing" firms). The Ministry authorizes the operation of both slot machines and gaming tables and maintains an up-to-date register of all licensed establishments in the country . As the primary gambling authority, the Ministry works closely with municipalities regarding permits, inspections, technical modifications, and the decommissioning of equipment.


Furthermore, the Ministry of the Interior monitors compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and requires operators to maintain complete transaction documentation. For international operators, the Ministry serves as the central point of contact regarding day-to-day compliance with legal requirements in Costa Rica.



Regards, Mario

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Kahnawake Gaming Authority ([email protected]) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own ([email protected]). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
