Safety Index 3.0 Very low

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom faced multiple account closures across several casinos, including Gxmble, Kingdom Casino, Gambiva, and Tenobet, each with significant pending withdrawals totaling €4,250. He claimed systematic fraud and a data breach due to unauthorized account linking, which led to a formal investigation by the Costa Rican government. He intended to escalate the issue to the UK Gambling Commission as well. We attempted to assist the player by requesting evidence and details about his gameplay and winnings. However, Gambiva Casino and related operators did not cooperate or respond to inquiries, and the casino lacked a valid licensing authority to escalate the complaint. Consequently, the complaint was marked as unresolved and closed due to the casino's non-cooperation and absence of regulatory oversight.

The complaint was initially filed as a single action, but I have now filed it separately for each Casino.


GAMBIVA - No one replies to any of my emails. The account was locked immediately after Gxmble locked me out.


Additionally, regarding the website, I was contacted by a UK phone number to inform me of the bonuses and to deposit bonus funds into my account to play. Strange as I found out they don`t have a license in the UK.


Also the names that appear on my statement are dodgy like:

  • EUFLEXQI        London    GBR
  • Webnorus*200.00 EUR  Hull     ENG
  • worldskn        Tallinn    EST
  • EUMODEAT        Potters Bar  GBR
  • INNITEM        London    GBR
  • DCT*achill       Krakow    POL


I don`t know about Poland and Estonia, but in the UK, they don`t have a license.


I am planning to communicate everything to the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), as I was called from a UK Phone number


URGENT: Systematic Fraud & Data Breach across 4 Brands (MEIC Case CAS-76905-D1D5B3)


I am providing a critical update. My dispute has escalated into a formal government investigation by the Costa Rican Ministry of Economy (MEIC) against Rabocse Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (ID: 3-102-904216), the entity behind multiple casino brands.

The Brands Involved:

-Gxmble - 800 EUR in pending withdrawal - they banned me - I can`t enter in my account

-Kingdom Casino - 400 EUR in pending withdrawal - I was banned as soon as the they locked my account on Gxmble - I can`t enter in my account

-Gambiva - 750 EUR in pending withdrawal - I was banned as soon as the they locked my account on Gxmble - I can`t enter in my account

-Tenobet - 500 EUR in pending withdrawal - I was banned as soon as the they locked my account on Gxmble - I can`t enter in my account


The Data Breach and Illegal Linking: I have uncovered a severe violation of data privacy (Law 8968). Despite using different email addresses to register at Gxmble and Kingdom Casino, the operator utilized unauthorized cross-platform tracking to link my accounts. They used this illegal data profiling as a weapon to retaliate and block my funds.


Total Amount Owed: €4,250:

€2,450 in legitimate winnings/withdrawals.

€1,800 in deposits that must be refunded due to the illegal breach of terms and data laws.


Legal Status: My claim is now ACTIVO (Active) in the Costa Rican government system under Case Number CAS-76905-D1D5B3. I have uploaded a specific "Fraud and Privacy Addendum" to the file, and the Ministry is now assessing the case for a formal summons of their legal representative, Lilliana Monge Vargas, or whoever it is their legal representative now.


I also asked MEIC to send my documentation to PRODHAB regarding the data breach.


Please: I request that Casino Guru link this update to all four brands mentioned, as they are all operated by the same parent company that is currently under investigation for these systemic failures.

Hello Mircea,

It's Michal again. I will attempt to get in touch with the casino team to see if I can assist you. However, I must inform you that Gambiva Casino (just like basically all casinos from the same group) not been particularly cooperative in resolving player complaints with us in the past, and they currently have several unresolved complaints, which unfortunately diminishes the likelihood of a favourable outcome for your complaint. Nevertheless, I will reach out to them and endeavour to find a way to help resolve the matter if possible.

We would like to invite Gambiva Casino to join the conversation.



Dear Gambiva Casino,

I would appreciate it if you could provide further details regarding the closure of the player's account and confiscation of their winnings. Specifically, what actions or gameplay by the player were identified as violations of the terms and conditions? Should there be any other factors influencing the situation that cannot be shared publicly, please feel free to share them directly with me via MS Teams or at michal.k@casino.guru

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.

Dear Mircea,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but have 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.

Although Gambiva Casino appear to hold a valid gaming license as they are listed in the Register of License Holders


file

Currently, the only way to submit a complaint to the authority is via a form on the licence validator page. You may wish to inform the licensing authority that the casino operator (Softon Ltd) is not offering this option to their players. The greater the number of complaints they receive regarding this matter, the more probable it is that they will take the necessary actions. Regrettably, this is where any potential assistance from our end concerning your case concludes.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. I really hope the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach.

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,

Michal
