Gambiva Casino
Safety Index:Low

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom faced issues with withdrawing 960 euros from Gambiva casino after initially depositing 75 euros. Despite being fully KYC verified, his withdrawal request was rejected, and his account was closed without explanation for a supposed breach of terms and conditions. The Complaints Team attempted to contact the casino multiple times to resolve the issue but received no cooperation or response. As the casino operated without a valid license and did not provide access to an alternative dispute resolution service, the complaint was marked as unresolved. The player was informed that the unresolved complaints might negatively impact the casino's rating, but no further assistance could be provided in this case.

I signed up with Gambiva casino. I deposited 75 euros. I got a good bonus on eye of Horus. I tried to withdraw 1000 euros. Firstly they told me I couldn't withdraw due to anti money laundering laws. They said j had to play through another 36 euros. When I done that I then tried to withdraw 960 euros. My account was fully kyc verified. The withdrawal was under review for a few days. It then got rejected and my account closed for no reason. When I emailed them they said I had broken their terms and conditions and account would be closed. They never stated what terms and conditions I had broken though. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

Thank you for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced. May I ask a few questions to better understand the situation?

  • Could you please advise whether you played games other than Eye of Horus?
  • Do I understand correctly that €960 (dispute value) has been confiscated?
  • Additionally, if there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru.

I hope we can help resolve this issue promptly. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

That's 2 of their replies there..I had sent a few other emails just asking about why verification documents are taking so long and why withdrawal taking so long. Took them ages to reply but then I got automated messages saying that it takes 48 hours for verification and to wait longer. It took about 4 days in total. The email about withdrawal was that they were getting a high number of people winning and would get my withdrawal in due course. I also contacted their live chat multiple times to be told there was nothing to worry about. Then the live chat just disappeared.

I think I maybe alternated between eye of Horus the golden tablet and eye of Horus rise of Egypt. I can't logon now to see the exact games I played as account blocked. Thanks.

Hi there. Just sending a quick follow up. I've sent them a couple more emails asking why they closed my account and to provide me with which terms and conditions I broke. As I already expected zero reply. The only terms and conditions I have broke is winning. I stated to them if there was an issue why didn't they close account during KYC verification or when depositing initially.

That's great thanks Peter. What in your opinion is the chance of actually getting my owed winnings from this casino? Are you on casino guru actually able to do that? I sent them 3 emails again recently asking for reason for account closure and got zero response.

Unfortunately, the casino has already received the no response policy tag from our previous attempt to resolve the complaints, but we nonetheless continue to try to resolve the issues by contacting them. I will update you about any new developments. Thank you for your patience during this time!

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.

Hi Peter. This casino needs shut down. Another thing I've noticed since is that my email and phone messages are getting absolutely spammed by other casino sign up offers. I genuinely believe this casino is just set up to extract as much money as possible out of people who didn't read up enough about them. I am severely doubtful you will ever get a reply from them. Their ratings are already in the gutter now anyways.

Dear Mackers39,

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 their side. Since the casino operates without a valid license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to.

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 could 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.

Usually, in the meantime, I would recommend you contact the Anjouan Gaming Authority and submit a complaint to them through the validator on the casino website, but the casino doesn't display its license validator, most likely in an attempt to prevent players from escalating their complaints further.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. While we cannot assist further with this specific case, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have issues with any other casino in the future, and we will try our best to help if possible.

Kind regards,

Peter
